    I own the 556 and I passed on the Cube. I think the screen is the selling point and its small factor. For good old retro classic gaming, I think the cube is overpriced. Don’t get me wrong. I see that games looks great but for classic stuff, there are other cheaper alternatives. Ps2 and Game Cube are are a hit or miss like you said. The 556 is also a great handheld and the screen looks fantastic and it offers more real estate screen to move things around a like for 3DS. However, some titles require a lot of tinkering. For all these same reasons, I ordered a Retroid 4 Pro. It’s compact, more powerful, and if lucky can score one at the price of the Cube or less. I like the Cube though but not at that price tag. We’ll see during the holidays how much it costs.

    it does have analogue trigger but you need to select it.

    I recommend uninstalling all emulators and then reinstalling the latest versions. Anbernic devices usually ship with old and unoptimized versions. Per game settings might also be necessary sometimes.

    You should change the emulation settings on GameCube Games, there is a lot you can optimise so idividual Games run fine. Yes, out of the box this is not fine, but if you put in the work, this is also a nice unit for GameCube Emulation

    • @RetroGamerReviews
      @RetroGamerReviews  14 дней назад +1

      Yeah I got a good amount to run fine with alittle work involved. It's not a bad unit it's really not. I bought it as a gift for someone and they love the select GCN games I put on there

    I got my RG Cube specifically to play NDS and 3DS games. Imo there is no better way to play those platforms than on the Cube in handheld format. For me I don't like playing Dual Screen games on a horizontal screen or having to switch between them. Especially with the pre-installed bezels the games look awesome on the Cube. Of course running 3DS can also be hit or miss depending on the title, but overall I prefer to play NDS and 3DS games on the Cube rather than on the original handhelds, because you have much better controls. I never liked the right stick on the New 3DS and the in line shoulder buttons. Games like Dr. Kawashima and Hotel Dusk are awkward to play on the Cube, but the NDS and 3DS have plenty of cool RPG games that I'd like to play.

    • @RetroGamerReviews
      @RetroGamerReviews  15 дней назад

      It genuinely seems like the best way to play NDS and 3DS I agree. Like I said it's a situational device and depending on what you are looking for it can be a great buy. If we're being completely honest I actually bought this as a gift for someone and they absolutely love the fact they can play select GCN games on the go as they are always out of the house

    You have to tweak the emulator for each game for GC / Wii to run fine , the version of Dolphin that comes with it is not optimized either.
    After some settings i got a bunch of games running well... the gyro issue was fixed with an update today as well .
    It's a good unit but these devices are not ready to play out of the box.

    • @RetroGamerReviews
      @RetroGamerReviews  11 дней назад

      Right there. What you said at the end. These aren't ready to play out of the box and I go into these with the mindset and limitations of people who don't have the means or just do know how to tweak and add games and stuff. For experienced people it's a great unit (I still think it's price is eh) but it's good for experienced users. That's my take

    • @Phoenix_VanDerWeyden
      @Phoenix_VanDerWeyden 10 дней назад +1

      I agree with you , they should ship these devices being 100% setup and playable , since they advertise it can play wii and gc . It indeed can but they don't tell you that it needs the setup that them as a company should provide.
      Price is indeed high also and in 4 months they will release a " revised " version of it. I will stick with this one for a long time and will only get a new one when emulation for the og Xbox gets good.

    I agree on your D-pad thoughts, I would much rather have a traditional nintendo style D-pad, perhaps on top as well instead of underneath the left joystick. The handheld looks beautiful to me, the black one, love the RGB lighting, just looks so clean. Performance is strong for my use case, mainline Mario games, Mario Karts, Paper Marios and Zelda games for GC and Wii. I'm on the fence on whether I will get it, but appreciate your take on it. 🍻

    • @RetroGamerReviews
      @RetroGamerReviews  9 дней назад +1

      I've been liking the brand too. With some tweaking it's more then capable to play PS2 and GCN. Maybe not every single title but a good amount. A price drop would make this a steal

    For the analogue triggers to work you need to enable them in settings. Swipe down when on home screen and select ns mode (nintendo switch) or xbox mode, this also swaps the a & b buttons and x & y buttons. Xbox mode for analogue

    I got it because I wanted to play 3DS. and it plays very nicely, only issue is the gyro doesn't seem to work. Kind of soft locks me in Kirby Triple Deluxe, I had to rely on RNG of the confused gyro to beat level 2. I'm hoping they patch that, because honestly, I think this device is great, and I think I got lucky without much issues, hopefully it stays that way.

    • @RetroGamerReviews
      @RetroGamerReviews  14 дней назад

      Yeah I was seeing other vids about the gyro not really working which is unfortunate but it's pretty cool 3DS is able to run on here. Makes it a comfortable 2DS style handheld

      It doesn't just work. Taki tested the video out with it not working for him. His monitor is a little unusual, but it's not guaranteed. I haven't checked ETA Prime, definitely wouldn't call his reviews, but he's pretty consistent about showing these things docked (video out).

      With some tinkering you can get alot of games to run fine but all of my test were at 1x and I had hit and miss games but it could be that I don't know how to properly tweak dolphin and android. That's just my experience
