Thanks, brother. You helped a lot. I already bought the 505 and i'm glad to see Clock Tower 3 and Haunting Ground working fine with the right configuration.
Looks like the rg405 have a small issue of cycle speed: the animations in many games are too fast even when the frame rate is low. May be some software tweaks could solve that.
We have come a long way. I remmeber tge first gen of retro emu handhelds and how they were struggeling with Snes and PS1. Now we are at the verge of emulating PS2 for less than €200/$. I think i am gonna wait another year though. To get flawless PS2 performance while not having to pay a ton of money. Like below 300€. You think that is possible?
@@BigRetroStudio Would love to have one but where i live it would cost me €350 and that is way to much for what i am getting. The RG505 will cost me €170 shipped to my house while the RP3+ will cost me around €230 so my best bet is the RG505 but i am still not sure if i should get it or not for PS2. Case in point i only want to play around 70 PS2 titles and not everything so i dont know.
Odin 2 for 300$ runs basically flawless GC and PS2. Also this month the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro is releasing for 200$. Should also run almost perfect GC/PS2.
Thanks for checking out my video :) yes gta games have all the original songs in the radio. I have turned it off because I didn't want to get any copyright problems 🙃
Id imagine very slowly unless you enable the skipdraw 15 to remove the depth of field effect and some code hacks to remove the red artifacts in the starting area.
I mostly played with these settings depending on the game: EE Cycle Rate- either 50%/60%/100% EE Cycle skip - either mild underclock (1)/max overclock or leave default Multithreaded VU1 - check Instant VU1 - check Vulkan Some games work better with frame limiter turned off too.
@@BigRetroStudio most harder to emulate PS2 ISOs are pretty much a bummer. It's as if it's still early development or not fully compatible with even the best Android device or the best emulator.
@@firedragon757b5I think Aether 2 has stopped development. But with sufficient hardware it definitely runs very well. The Odin 2 for 300$ can emulate both GC and PS2 flawlessly. Also, the upcoming RP4P for 200$ shouldn't have many problems running PS2.
I returned the 552 and got the 505 with gamma OS it works ok, I wish you played Black on the rg405, I think is pretty the same with the 505 what you think?

Aethersx2 is the emulator for PS2. Please watch my Retroid Pocket Flip setup guide to understand the best settings. It will be the same for RG405M too.
I'v tested some of these games on the other handhelds with the same t618 chip, you will have to watch my gameplay testing videos to find out. Whatever I played is mentioned in the timeline, you will have to watch it and find out, I don't keep a track on each and every game's playability. It's mentioned in the video I tested.
set the gpu renderer to Vulcan. On system settings, depending on the game, set ee cycle rate to 50% and ee cycle skip to maximum underclock(in some games not needed, leave it as it is). Then, play with frame limiter in system settings. You can increase the normal speed to 130 or 140 depending on the game or turn the enable frame limit off to get max speed. Hope it helps.
I had only changed these settings: Normal Fps increased to 130fps or 150fps, depending on the game. If that doesn't do any good, then Turn off enable frame limit. Other 2 settings Changed in graphics section: Turn on hot vsync Turn on threaded presentation Apart from that, I haven't changed anything else.
Go to the "system" category, then just play with the normal speed on speed control in fps category(you can try increasing normal speed upto 130 to 140fps) , if not just turn the enable frame limit off. Then turn go to "graphics" category and turn on hot vsync and turn on threaded presentation, that should be enough, let me know how it goes.

I do enjoying checking these videos and thank you for the upload... but this is also why I don't always trust community spreadsheets, and wish you'd show the frame rate counter. As "playable" to one person, may not be to another. Burnout 3 for example looks to be running at half speed, Revenge is full speed but lots of dips, and trust me if you played Katamari past the 2nd or 3rd level you'd see it goes to complete trash.
Thanks for your comment :) I agree with you about what you mentioned about playable. It does depend on your tolerance level. Mine is pretty high because I grew up with a less powerful graphic card PC at the time, so even if it had a slight lag, I used to play it and finish the game. I've heard people saying the same for katamari games, especially for 2nd and 3rd levels. I need to check it out :D

What tweaks were made for Simpsons Hit and Run?
I mostly played with these settings depending on the game:
EE Cycle Rate- either 50%/60%/100%
EE Cycle skip - either mild underclock (1)/max overclock or leave default
Multithreaded VU1 - check
Instant VU1 - check
Vulkan

@@BigRetroStudio so what were the specific settings for Simpsons Hit and Run?
GTA III, VC, SA, LCS, and VCS do work flawlessly with no problems. Correct? If so, interesting!

@@BigRetroStudio most harder to emulate PS2 ISOs are pretty much a bummer. It's as if it's still early development or not fully compatible with even the best Android device or the best emulator.
