Summary
DROIX blog review of the anbernic-rg405v. Published 2023-10-30 on droix.net.
Emulation Notes
- There are all the usual emulators you would expect to find on an Android handheld, from Genesis up to more recent console emulators such as Dolphin, Citra and AetherSX2. We will check out their performance shortly.
- If you use the frontend, then you are good to go. The frontend will scan your micro SD card and sort the contents into their respective gaming systems. Then you can browse the systems, choose a game etc. Though I do recommend first connecting to the internet and updating all of the RetroArch Cores and associated files before using it.
- Anbernic RG405V Citra emulator
- With Citra we see decent performance on lower demanding games but with many you will get slowdown or short freezes while the shaders are caching. On the second playthrough once shaders are generated you will see improved performance but it’s not perfect.
- Anbernic RG405V AetherSX2 PlayStation 2 emulator
- On the Dolphin emulator we see some very good performance. Many games are running at full or near full speed, nothing that spoils the games too much. There are of course some games that have bad performance, we need a faster CPU to get those running.
- PSP emulator PPSSPP works great
