Summary
DROIX blog review of the anbernic-rg556. Published 2024-03-08 on droix.net.
FPS / Gaming Performance
- For more recent systems, including handhelds, you will again have mixed success. On the Vita for example there were a good number of games from those compatible that run at full 30 or 60 FPS. However games like Street Fighter X Tekken ran at around 40FPS.
Emulation Notes
- Alternatively you can run the emulators individually. This will require a bit more setting up but often, especially with the more demanding systems, the emulators are more optimised than the ones used in RetroArch for example. If you do find games running slow in RetroArch then see if there is a standalone emulator to help improve performance, it can make a large difference.
- PS2 emulation on Anbernic RG556
- We like the easy to use Anbernic launcher, it simply scans your micro SD card and adds games to the appropriate system menus. It works great and is excellent to get up and running fast. However keep in mind that for the more demanding systems you will want to use the dedicated apps rather than the RetroArch cores. The dedicated apps do require a little setting up, but the performance increase you get is worth it.
