Summary
DROIX blog review of the anbernic-rg-cube. Published 2024-07-11 on droix.net.
FPS / Gaming Performance
- For PlayStation 2 you will have a mixed experience in performance. We saw on Tekken Tag Tournament mostly 60 frames per second with some occasional drops below that. In God Of War II we did see some frame drops but nothing game breaking. And for OutRun 2006, the game was essentially unplayable as it run too slow.
Emulation Notes
- As part of our Anbernic RG Cube review we will take a look at the operating system and features. The RG Cube runs on Android 13 and has a bunch of emulators set up for you. We do recommend signing into Google Play Store and updating everything to the latest versions as well as on RetroArch.
- Dolphin emulator runs very well
- For newer systems such as the PSP, you will have to play with a squashed widescreen unless you change the graphics settings. And once changed, you have a fairly small viewing area as it adjusts for the aspect ratio. Realistically this is only going to affect PSP, some PS2 and Vita games.
- We see very good performance considering the processor. Many PS2 games will run great but there are some that have very poor performance. With Citra we see the usual shader caches lags on more demanding games. And with Vita, low demanding games run fairly well, but lags with more demanding games. And with Yuzu, only 2D games are going to be playable.
