Questions

Does the Anbernic RG Rotate have analog sticks?

No. It has a D-pad, face buttons and four shoulder buttons, but no analog sticks, so games built around stick control are a poor fit.

Is the RG Rotate Android or Linux?

It runs Android 12 on a Unisoc T618 with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, plus a microSD slot.

Can the RG Rotate run Dreamcast games?

Most Dreamcast games run on it, according to Retro Handhelds' review; Game Boy, NES, SNES and Genesis run at full speed.

Does the RG Rotate have video out?

There is no wired video output. Anbernic lists wireless screen projection instead.
