Anbernic RG300X

The RG300X is the sort of handheld you’ll instantly fall for. It clearly resembles the old Game Boy Micro, has that recognisable retro look and is small enough to just pop into your coat or trouser pocket. This really is the sort of little gadget you grab for a quick session whilst out and about, but which is also, secretly, just a lovely piece of handheld history to own.

This little handheld is also ideal if you’re just starting out with emulation. It’s one of the most budget-friendly options you’ll find, yet it gives you exactly what you’re looking for when it comes to the classics. The RG300X offers perfect support for Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance. If you want to emulate more advanced systems, you’d be better off opting for a more powerful handheld.

A 16 GB SD card containing the operating system is included as standard. However, a second SD card is really a must if you want to enjoy playing to the full and keep your library organised. That’s why you can easily order a second SD card at RetroGear. If you choose that option, we’ll load our RetroGear Bundle onto it, and you can get started straight away.

And this is also something that makes RetroGear truly unique: we have secured all the necessary rights and permissions for this bundle so that we can legally supply this selection of homebrew games. No dodgy downloads or hassle – it’s all been properly sorted.

Don’t delay, as this model is available in limited quantities.
