The Anbernic RG34XXSP sits in a strange position where it's nearly perfect for two different use cases: it's an excellent GBA-centric machine in many respects, and also very close to being a great all-around emulation handheld too. But it also has enough strange design choices that prevent it from being ideal in either case. Here are my first impressions after a few hours with the handheld.
