The Anbernic RG556 is one of the best retro gaming handhelds. But can it take the spot as my main console for a week? Is it really the PS2 emulation and Gamecube emulation beast it appears to be?

I never put my portable game consoles in my pocket even as a kid. I always put em inside a storage case and then in my little bag. That said, this Rg556 seems appealing to me if I can play Genji, Onimusha, Okami, Shinobido, The Warriors, FF12 in it flawlessly. These are my favorite games for the PS2

@brownwallet942 3 месяца назад

@@sonumalik.. No. Ps2 emulation is not perfect even in best device so I check youtubers who test ps2 games

It's some part hardware and some part limitations of the emulators, even on a powerful gaming pc they can struggle to run some Xbox 360 games at 60fps. @@sonumalik..

Did you delete the stock emulators??

@ben-tendo Месяц назад

@@mr.commenter395yeah I have the Gamma boot loader on it for stick improvement (no need to physically replace them!) and then installed ES-DE as a front end and reassigned the home button to it, and then manually installed the emulators. It now runs like butter.

@Insanemusifan 27 дней назад

What emulatora do you use instead the preinstalled ones?

@Chris-ls4nm 3 месяца назад

I have the 556 but this makes me want to play toca for the tracks on PC even if emulated 😄 I had the first 2 on playstation. I love the 556 for playing up to Dreamcast on a big oled and a decent price. Nes/SNES/psx also. It's good that you point out it's shortcomings and I think that racing games are some of the hardest to emulate due to rendering fast moving 3d environments. But I'm glad there's a less premium priced handheld with an oled screen for enjoying older titles.. without resorting to those 3.5" LCDs which are just too small for big hands and to soak everything in.

@ChronikSpartan 3 месяца назад

Great take buddy. I think you're right about the racing games being some of the most difficult. I do truly love the RG556, it does so many things right! I guess we're just still waiting for that perfect mid range PS2 emulation. I think going for the PSP version of TOCA Race driver might be the best bet!

@BoyReklamo163 Месяц назад

Use the Aethersx2 1.4-3060 version then find the "hardware download mode" change to skip readbacks. Also enable widescreen patches. Those settings alone gives a better emulation and experience already

For PS2??

@JoshSampson-bb2cw 2 месяца назад

I play video games to get excited about watching a race. It didn't run PS2 games very well but I was surprised it couldn't run fortnite. The switch sized console doesn't fit well in my pocket but it does fit well on top of the trash in my car.

@drumyogi9281 Месяц назад

Upgrading the PS2 Emulator made a huge difference for me.

@5temba Месяц назад

Good review, eh. Appreciate the methodology, it does come down to what games you intend to use the device for. By chance, did you consider testing any cricket games? I realise most RU-vidrs are for the American market, but there are large markets (eg Asia (think India, Pakistan, Middle East) down under (think Australia, New Zealand), the Caribbean and the diaspora with different taste in games. I guess we probably need an influencer from these parts to create/prove that market segment/audience interest.

@ChronikSpartan Месяц назад

You know what, I never thought about checking out cricket games, but I definitely will do! Really appreciate your comment buddy!

@ChronikSpartan 18 дней назад

@tristanheron4144 3 месяца назад

You should play Race Driver 2006 on PSP instead. Pretty much whenever there is an option to play a PSP version of a PS2 game it is going to run better.

@ChronikSpartan 3 месяца назад

Great shout, I've been after that cheesy Ryan McKane story line, but I think I'll just go for it on the PSP.

People really look past great consoles cause they’re not made by any media bigwig. If you look past the licensed Consoles you could actually find amazing stuff Like the playmate and the analog pocket.

@ChronikSpartan 3 месяца назад

Playdate is a great console and totally unique, just really overpriced to get it out of the US. Analog Pocket, I'm personally not a big fan of. I think many much cheaper retro emulation devices do pretty much the same thing at a fraction of the price with a lot less faff.
