I Played The RG556 For A Week And This Happened

- 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
Hello Bro ! I have a question 🤔 The Anbernic Rg556 Is Play All PS2 games in 60 fps smooth 100% speed
@@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..
Some fantastic PS2 games listed there mate! I tested Warriors in my PS2 test and it ran well
@@ChronikSpartan I thought yuzu emulation was down? Can I still be able to play PS2 games on this if I get one now
Hey man, I love these videos.
It shows real life scenarios for the use of the device, instead of benchmarks and specs.
Thanks mate! That's exactly what I'm going for 👍
I love my RG556, once you install better emulators and tweak the settings it runs PS2, 3DS and even Vita with ease
Did you delete the stock emulators??
@@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.
@@ben-tendo I'm looking forward to doing something similar 😀.
@@mr.commenter395yeah download Gamma’s bootstrap loader to do the stick fixes first as that’ll wipe the system anyway and give you a fresh canvas to work with.
What emulatora do you use instead the preinstalled ones?
0:13 "If you pick the right game" ? huhh??
Not all games play as smoothly
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
Thanks for info buddy
For PS2??
chronic? thats my kind of channel, you will become irrelevant when you get too big and have other responsibilities, but thats something to worry about later, imma ride the potential you have with you
Haha, thanks bro, glad you enjoy the channel 😁
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 TH-camrs 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.
You know what, I never thought about checking out cricket games, but I definitely will do!
Really appreciate your comment buddy!
Have you tried psp racing games? Much smoother then ps2 emulation
Yes I was recommended TOCA on the PSP instead of PS2. It's much smoother!
The Anbernic cube so much nicer. I own them both and the cube has got my vote.
Is it good for Landscape games too? I'm debating between Cube and 556 atm.
@@DovahkiinChild get the Cube. I’m having a blast with this one. I don’t even use my 556. It’s crazy because I thought I would use it all the time but it’s the cube for me. And I like using the Anbernic rg35xxsp.
Going to try and get my hands on a cube ;)
Isn't the 556 and cube the same internals? I'm currently debating between the 2 and they seem to be the same hardware specs other than form factor and screen.
@@morallytainted1idk the 556 seems like a better deal.
RG556 VS ODIN 2 Which is better??
Odin 2 hands down. It's just more money is all
@@ChronikSpartan thank you for your comment
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.
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!
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.
I wrote a comment that I thought was clever
Upgrading the PS2 Emulator made a huge difference for me.
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.
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.
I agree with you on that although there are still a lot you’re missing out on if you just go the xbox/nintendo/playstation/sega route without ever diverging from it.
@@Funkyfresh68 100% agree, there is so much to explore now!
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.
Great shout, I've been after that cheesy Ryan McKane story line, but I think I'll just go for it on the PSP.
@ChronikSpartan only problem with psp versions is franchise/dynasty modes in games. They are either not there or handicapped. Otherwise I think this good advice.
how get an android thingy retroarch? i hate only 1 thing at this handheld its the os ... android sucks hard...please ambernic build the same device again with linux and a usb/usbc for data transfair :D
You could try using the custom interface they have on the RG556
@@ChronikSpartan thanks for the awnser but interface is not what i want more the linux terminal for scripting and edit and install other stuff then only illigal roms : :D
Does it play ps2 and gamecude games good? on the anbernic rg556
Gamecube great, PS2 mostly good. You can check out my emulation test episodes
I can play almost all PS2 games with Redmi Note 12 Turbo 26gb ram 1Tb rom using xbox360 controller and $4 mobile phone holder. Not pocket friendly but smooth gaming
@@MajlisIlmuTamanSyurga How can you use xbox 360 controllers on Android? Those are 2.4Ghz, no Bluetooth whatsoever. Even for playing on PC you need a special dongle receiver.
@@aliramirezruiz3481 buy the xbox360 controller for pc,it works with android phone
@@ChronikSpartanSweeet
There are some great Dreamcast racing games that will run just fine, including F355 Challenge, Le Mans 24hr, and MSR.
Great point, they look awesome too, almost on par with the PS2
An Olympiakos shirt? Great to see it.
θρύλος ole!! 💪
You should have just named this video, “I should have gotten an RP4 Pro”.
🤣 that's not really the case though
No offense, but the RG556. Doesn’t hold a candle to the Odin 2.
Yeah I'm starting to realise that
It's not supposed to.. like comparing 2 completely different things.. why would you say something so stupid?
Odin 2 cost twice as much.
@@YUNG-fr1kg Ok. You get what you pay for that all I have to say. The RG556 cost $230 after shipping The ODIN 2 base 330.00. Not much of a difference. I’m sure if you’re into these handhelds you spending that money! This is a life style. One of the coolest hobbies to have!
My BMW isn’t as nice as a Porsche 911, but it didn’t cost anywhere near as much to buy and I’m happy with it.
crappy sticks snap to cardinal directions
Sticks could definitely be improved!
You can install the unofficial fix and sticks will be great
I want to get one but I wonder if I can play the old PSP Dragon Ball games and the 3DS Dragon Ball games
yes it does run well those titles
Yep they're fine
Not that you should buy these to stream....i am having good luck on hone network to pc and surprisingly xbox game pass. I play the show, baseball, and lag is not the readon i stink.
My partner would shoot me in the neck if I tried bringing a handheld to someone else's kids party, and I can honestly understand it though lol, weird anti social behaviour.
About as anti social as all the other parents glued to their phones
All credibility lost when you mentioned FortShite.
Cool cool 👍
