Way BETTER than expected - RG Cube First Look

[@TechDweeb]

FYI, you CAN dim the RBG on the sticks (and change the colour). In the pulldown menu hold down your finger on the "ambient light" toggle and it'll open the complete options for the RBG effect.

Screen bleeding was a legitimate issue. I was one of the first ones to order from Aliexpress. I had to fix mine with the replacement front panel Anbernic sent me. I realized the issue was that there is a metal plate behind the screen where the main board and battery sits. When you tighten the screws this plate puts pressure on the screen. Anbernic's "fix" was to just loosen those screws 😂. I would've liked if they used some small screw washer behind the plate as spacer. I used four tiny silicone o-ring on mine, and it completely fixed the issue.

3ds is really the killer feature on this one. It looks so good! I still think Ambernics 4 inch 4:3 screen is my favorite, but this may be a close second.

[@adinwalls]

It really is the killer feature. But yes, that 4:3 they used in the Arc and the 405m is great.

[@SkateSoup]

This seems like a great fit for ds/3ds, GameCube, and vertical screen arcade games, all of which have me interested. That said, while the price is probably worth it, the way they pump out devices I'm waiting for this to be on sale for like 125usd in a month or three, at which point hopefully the screen stuff is sorted out. Happy to see no massive cautions other than that.

I had the RGB30 for a few weeks and I really liked the screen but the rest of the powkiddy jankiness turned me off. This looks much nicer so I bit the bullet and ordered one, which was on sale for like $150 on Ali express

[@adinwalls]

Oh yes if the cheapness of the Powkiddy bothers you, you’ll love this.

[@WillC1020]

Probably one of those devices where buying through Amazon would be beneficial since you have the option to return if you have the light bleed issue. However, it is very expensive with some going around $225-230 with some coupons from the sellers.

[@adinwalls]

Yes Amazon will be safer but it will be pricier.

[@Guitario666]

I saw a pic of this compared to the 4:3 40xx and the width was pretty much the same. But with the 1:1 you gain more height so the games scale larger on the cube

[@adinwalls]

Hey man. Ya I gave the Rg405m a hard time at launch but I think it was because the software was so bad for such an expensive device. Once I got Gamma I put some serious time into it and yes, the pocket-ability is a huge factor.

RP4P can play Bayonetta though 😆

[@Griffnix]

Been deciding on a smaller device and it was between this and the 405v. I'm leaning towards the Cube since it is 720 and that could help for when I want to play psone. For anything higher I have the Odin 2 and this screen is great for NES to GBA and ds/3ds.

Are you able to plug the xr glasses directly in or do you need to use an USB-C to HDMI adapter?

[@adinwalls]

In those very specific parameters the Cube is definitely the better choice. But it also depends what sort of hardware you like. For me, the Cube has definitely jumped to the top of the list. But the RP4 pro is still my favourite.

[@STR82DVD]

No light bleed on mine. Just arrived.

[@SicketMog]

This one looks good. 8 way Sega style D-pad (always nicer to press ON something for diagonals than between something) and high enough up it loks to still be comfortable but still fit the two sticks on there, nice form factor, rounded, stacked shoulders... Are the shoulder triggers analog? Never tried emulating the N-gage... Interesting. Will have to look that shmup up. Still rocking the RG351P, which is still great for my needs, but want to upgrade to SOMETHING to play higher end stuff rn. Looking at Odin 2 and RP4P mainly... Idk what to get. Seems to be SO many good options now. I would like to play PS2 and down atm, I don't expect Xbox 360 to emulate well on a handheld rn anyway (for the Cave shmups), which one to get? D-pad important; I like shmups, fighting games and hard platformers (2D-stuff in general).

[@adinwalls]

Hey. Well the dpad placement is annoying here but it's nice to have a joystick up top for schmups. I do think this is a good device for what you're aiming for. The Anbernic Arc is also a great one.

Well the answer to “the best PS2 emulator” right now is AYN Odin 2 / Mini. Second is the RP4pro, third is the RG556 / Cube.

[@voteDC]

As I said on the short, unless you're using this for a lot of vertical shooters I don't see the point of it. The screen aspect ratio is ill suited for both 4:3 content and 16:9. It's a jack of all trades but a master of none. It's also weird to market this as a 3DS machine when it is clearly not powerful enough. Sure with a lot of the systems the RG Cube can emulate there are tweaks that can be made but most people who buy these handhelds I suspect do so because they don't want to tinker.

[@glitches911]

I can't do the screen aspect. Everything id play won't use the screen right. It could be made of gold, but that part would still keep me from it. Also don't like any of the colors. I'm sure it's great for some.

Too be fair with this retro systems there was no such thing as aspect ratio. There was/is no way to measure it. Now we are just trying to put square screens in round holes giving them artificial aspect ratios. This is why some games look better in 4:3 and others 8:7 because we can get a close guess but it’s not perfect.

[@adinwalls]

Yes I did a deep dive trying to educate myself the other day and came to the same conclusion. These games were developed to be run on scan lines on a CRT screen, not pixels on an LCD. In the end, I just love how good these old games look on modern screens.

[@fillerbunnyninjashark271]

TV's were 4:3 games were designed with 4:3 in mind. Unless they were arcade games with 3:4 or taller

[@fillerbunnyninjashark271]

Games that were developed in od ratios was because of hardware limitations. They knew the final image would be properly stretched by the TV.

[@enriquepinero707]

Seeing a device like this makes me think that if Nintendo wanted to; they could make another variant of the current Switch in a similar form factor and with all the features of this device. Even in the wake of waiting for a next gen Switch 2 (which is rumored to be have an 8 inch screen); there is no way that thing is going to be pocketable at all, though still easy to carry. I would prefer a Switch device like the RG Cube to continue to play my retro Switch library at a quality that unfortunately Anbernic is inconsitent with. I have been purchasing Anbernic devices for the last 2 years, and while they really are neat on paper; they always have some QA issues that have made me realize just how much money i wasted on them; especially when a new variant comes out every 3 months. Ironic how much money one can spend in emulation products; when in reality i should just stick with whatever Nintendo offers and play my games legitimately. Yeah i am missing out on havjng every single retro game in existence, but enough of them make it to the Switch (or at least the ones I realy care about) and aside from maybe the dreaded joycons; the Switch does not have any of the overheating, battery, or any of the othe issues that these devices have.

[@adinwalls]

Such a good point. Nintendo have always been the more playful brand and an 8 inch handheld does not sound playful. It would be so nice to have a small affordable handheld where we can get our games legally. I can't see a world where I would choose a Switch over the Steamdeck. But I would almost definitely buy a small Nintendo handheld to play all the recent lightweight titles.

That didn't happen, sadly, and reviewers were quick to let the public know and call out Anbernic for being wrong. I watched basically every video posted about this device, no one has been glossing over the issue after 1st wave buyers started reporting the persistent problem.
