The analog sticks issue has to be intentional. Whoever is doing it, clearly only tests with 2d emulated games and doesn't realize the device can do much more.

I don't even know where to begin on how much I love the RG556. Such a budget friendly beast! It's the perfect size, with a perfect control layout and amazing AMOLED screen. I'm not fluid in customizing so I picked up the black variant pre loaded with over 4400 games. Then I picked up a 480 PS2 game SD card from AliExpress which never leaves the device. Add all the GooglePlay downloads and my RG556 is completely stacked with so many awesome games. The PS2 emulation is fantastic. Playing my all time PS2 favorites like Contra; Shattered Soldier and MOH; Frontline again on the RG556 is a dream come true!

I was searching on google and reddit on the best shaders that would look nice on this screen, but popular shaders that worked on the common 640x480 screens or 720p/4k shaders that worked for LCD screens don't look nice on this 5.5" 1080p amoled.

Any fix ?

Vicious screen door effect, and the stutter on Switch emulation was really bad. Baseline if it cant run Genshin and at least screen record I can’t use it. Looks cool and seems thick enough to actually be comfortable though. So that’s a plus. Gotta give it to them, the video out options are pretty good. And better than an iPhone. Would prefer a decent tablet or gaming laptop over this though. Gulikit should make an adapter for the Hall Effect joy con sticks for this. Or another third party could do it. IJS

No point in emulating switch imo. I have a couple games on mine and they work fine but I honestly don’t know why you wouldn’t just buy a switch. Genshin works great on it and the video out is great as well. The streaming works well. I’ve used it with my PlayStation. I recommend installing ES-DE or Dijisho. The stock is is typical Anbernic. With ES-DE I set it as my home app using some other apps but it was pretty easy and worth it imo. I am replacing the sticks soon. Playing my favorite game, SSX3, the precision is not there. It’s playable and still fun but it makes for some difficult turns.
