MAME runs well on the H700 Anbernics, with several arcade cores supported out of the box.

  • MAME 2003-Plus, FinalBurn Neo, Atomiswave and Naomi cores are all available on this family.
  • Some 3D arcade titles need a specific MAME core version to behave; the classic 2D boards do not.

Emulated easily. The analog sticks make this the RG35XX variant to pick for it.

Nintendo 64

Hit and miss

Highly playable in places, but demanding titles struggle.

  • Super Mario 64 runs well most of the time.
  • Running at native resolution rather than upscaled recovers performance on heavier titles.

Where the device maxes out, and it gets there in good shape.

  • The 640x480 panel matches the Dreamcast native resolution for a clean integer scale.

Light and mid-weight titles run. Demanding 3D is playable but not clean.

  • God of War and Tekken 6 are playable with occasional slowdown in heavier scenes.
