Can you play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey on the RG556? & How does it compare to the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro?
@RobinB3605 ай бұрын
@@SalvadorChaosOfficial Unfortuntely not. It’s only good enough for low to mid emulation.

Really enjoyed this comprehensive review, thank you! Yup, same here, it came down to the Anbernic RG556 or the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. For me the screen size and resolution, form factor, control layout and price to performance ratio were the most deciding factors. My RG556 arrived a couple weeks ago as an upgrade to my beloved but dated GPD XD+ and I can't love this thing enough. Wow is this a game changer. It's the perfect size to me, not too big, not too small, but just right. The 5.48" 1080p AMOLED touch screen is incredible. It's hands down the most comfortable hand held I've ever played. The control layout is perfect, and the buttons have a perfect mix of click and mush. No detectable lag whatsoever. The PS2 emulation is so flawless, and the pixel density and resolution is so good that any PS2 game you play on it looks completely remastered. As an older gamer I just can't freaking get over playing my favorite PS2 games on such an awesome compact handheld. The RG556 speakers are uniquely placed and deliver remarkable sound. And personally the thumb sticks aren't an issue for me at all, they feel and work great.

It’s oké-ish. Personally I’d rather use the ps portal or the steam deck for that.

If I want to add more games on the ps2 can I simply download the ROMs from a navigator of the anbernic? Or I have to take out the sd card and then add them through a pc?

I picked up an SD card from Aliexpress with 480 PS2 games on it, I can access the games list but when I click on one it says the file can't be accessed. So I have to upload to a pc first, then on to a different card? GRRRRR!

Thank you. Glad it’s helpful! The Anbernic RG556 has a USB-C out port. You should be able to connect it to a TV or monitor with a USB-C to HDMI adapter. Hope this helps 👍

How do you turn off the on screen controls when playing ps2 games?
@davidsapir37644 ай бұрын
There's a menu option that lets you turn them off. I'm still getting used to the 556's menus so I fumble my way to get there but eventually get there lol. When you do, the 556 auto assigns the controls exactly how you want them most of the time, but you can further customize the button layout if you want to.
@zeth45452 ай бұрын
I noticed that whenever it does configure the controls the right stick is always inverted. You can map it to make it right though
