I'm completely new to retro handhelds and have dived head first with the Anbernic RG556. I don't regret a thing

I just got mine on Friday and I agree with everything that you said. I have been having an amazing experience so far. I am new as well and I am very blown away by playing older games on an AMOLED at 1080P.

@@RikCarranza I have been playing a few games. Dino Crisis on PS1 at 1080P looks amazing and runs great. Link to the Past on SNES and Super Metroid on SNES. Games that I never got to play much when I was younger but now have a chance to play on the go. What about yourself?

Great review. I can't love the RG556 enough. The price to performance ratio is phenomenal. I picked one up as an upgrade to my 5 year old GPD XD+ running Android 7. It's still an incredible retro portable, but i couldn't resist the RG556's ability to run PS2 games at this price point.The AMOLED display is stunning, it's ultra comfortable to hold and play, and it plays and displays PS2 games incredibly well. You're 1000% right when you say the games actually look remastered. Playing my all time favorite PS2 games like MOH Frontline and Contra; Shattered Soldier again is a dream come true. And they look so damn good! So much so I crossed my fingers, took a chance and picked up that 480 PS2 game SD card from Aliexpress( highly recommend, it's actually a very well rounded and deep games list) and the RG556 runs them beautifully after installing a couple apps. This is such a truly great hand held. Even the much more powerful and expensive Odin 2 doesn't come with an AMOLED screen this premium and beautiful.

Trying to decide for weeks now between this one and Retro Pocket 4 Pro. Screen looks gorgeous on the RG556 but performance, software and the buttons, especially dpad and sticks are quite better on RP4P. Nice video, man!
@RikCarranza
@RikCarranza 4 ай бұрын
It was a hard decision! I really agonised on this vs the RP4 Pro. Ultimately the ergonomics and screen won it out for me! So far no regrets (until I try at RP4P and see if I'm missing anything!). And I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

The rg556 is very good. But about the battery.. the Accubattery app is showing that the real capacity is 3600 battery and not 5500. And the efficiency is at 74%. I received mine 3 days ago.

@@RikCarranza Thanks for answering me friend. I will do this in the next few days. My battery in ps2 games lasts around 4 to 5 hours of direct use on the AetherSX2. How many ps2 hours does your battery last? more One question I have... is it possible for me to replace the battery if it ever becomes necessary?
