  • While still not the best handheld from anbernic, the RG 505 has a fantastic performance, massive battery life, and higher durability thanks to the screen being the same as the playstation vita and the presence of hall effect sticks!

    FAQ:
    Does it work with a usb C to hdmi dock? - Sadly no... I tested it with a dock and it did not work
    Does it work with xbox cloud? - Yes! You can use through the app or the browser

    I have the Gray Edition ANBERNIC 505 and it's totally awesome! I don't care that it doesn't have video output. It is a portable handheld with a 5 inch display, good enough to serve it's main purpose.

    The performance for ps2 is what surprises me. But it isn't consistent. Mx vs atv, very slow during races, but free ride works very well. My go to ps2 game is final fantasy x, and so far has worked amazing. I'm not good with adjusting settings, I wish someone would come out with a guide for adjusting each emulator for best performance for the rg505.

    • @CHICKENmcNUGGIESMydude
      @CHICKENmcNUGGIESMydude ปีที่แล้ว +2

      theres many guides on the settings
      but basically you got to find out where to mess with the settings
      first go to the settings option on the app itself and set optimal default or optimal performance then go to graphics and make sure its on vulkan then when u open up games those settings will be already set then
      just in the menue in a game click the little (i) icon in settings that will set settings per game basis and
      mess with the 2 under clocking options most games will run good by just down clocking the ee cycle rare -50 -60 or -75 % you rarely got to ee cycle skip under clock that will effect how slugish the game feels so only ajusge that if you really have to like the game god of war 2

    Don't understand the idiots who buy android handheld devices besides smartphones... If you're buying something like this, you almost definitely already have a powerful phone.
    I completely understand that there are differences between a smartphone and this device, but why not go but a ps1, then go buy a n64, then go buy a Gameboy, then a wii, then a ps2.
    All of these old systems can be easily emulated and very easily controlled.
    The only logical reason to buy an old system is nostalgia. This is a new device, that does way less than the modern smartphone and is overpriced... No point.

      Personal answers / what i could think about it, tought i dont have any of these retro handhelds:
      - I dont like to play on phone with controller, its just doesnt feel that good.
      - And the other: Handheld-device is for: gaming, maybe: some videos, music; Phone: for all of the other things.
      - Maybe phone storage is not enought, and there is no sd card slot.
      - Its more pocketable than a phone with controller.
      - "Then why not just buy an original": Maybe the pepole who buy these handhelds want to do more with it, like: play other systems. And you only need sd card/s.
      - More for the nostalgia: imagine you had a GBA SP, and someone now made a similar, but stronger device, and now you are and adult, and you can afford it, so you probably will buy it. Or imagine you dreamed a device when you were a kid like this, and now its real. Or its just looks so damn cool, and can play games you like.
      But every time, its not "the perfect" device, always sometinhg is missing, or not right... . So basically they are playing with the customers feelings 😔.
      - Some device is targeting only certain retro system, so there is no need to be stronger than a mid/top-range phone, so its maybe cheaper than a phone, and can play games you like in a good form factor; here i thinking about vertical handhelds, and GBA SP-like handhelds like: Powkiddy V90.
      - So overall, for the pepole who buy these; the gaming experince, depending on what that person likes, will be more enjoyable, on a handheld device than on a mobile, with controller; and the performance is not important until you cant play the game you want(thats why literally everyone who like these handhelds waiting for one, that can play all PS2, and GC games well).
      Well thats it, hope it helped, hope its understandable.

      The main reason one wants to purchase a Anbernic is to play old games on a 480p screen in their native resolution to have the sharpest image. Anbernic also makes a 240p screen for 8bit games from the 1980s like NES, Atari, Coleco, and SMS. Upscaling a 240p image to 1080p looks blurry. Anbernic can support 512Gb SD card and a 720p Apple Smartphone only supports 32Gb-128Gb SD. So the Anbernic can have more games and the correct screen resolution to play your games. Most games 1990-2012 are 480p resolution from SNES to Wii.
