nice you got manhunt on there! how well do the katamari games work? thanks for going the extra mile with the video and timestamps you sir are a gentleman and a scholar 🍷
My concern for Katamari is when you get past 3rd or 4th level, at this point even on the more powerful Odin Pro it became unplayable. Waiting for my RG405M to arrive in a week or two.
I just ordered mine last week during the sale. Thanks for posting your settings in the comments. I saw in a couple videos that dielectric grease will fix the sticky buttons. Hoping it'll prevent the scratching too.
Were all these tests done in the regular performance mode of GammaOS? If so I got a new idea for your next vid. Hold L1+R1+Right stick in, until you see Max performance mode enabled, then perform all the same PS2 game tests. You should notice better performance but your battery drain will take a toll.
From what I heard at least from Tekken TT is that it's an early launch game title. Devs weren't fully able to use the VUs of the PS2 instead mostly rely on the Emotion Engine for everything. It worked fine on the PS2 but the Pcsx2 uses the CPU to emulate EE so you need a more powerful CPU to run EE intensive games. Don't quote me on this though. tl;dr Tekken TT and some other games use EE more which requires a more relatively beefy CPU to emulate.
Wow! A lot of the games looked really good! The slow down in some games wouldn't deter me from enjoying them. I have a Steam Deck and it does all the PS2 games I've tried perfectly, but this is a PS2 in your pockets. Plus I always love the metal handhelds more than the plastic ones.
Wow so much better than my Retroid 3+.... Wish we had custom FW as well. 😊 Can you please make a video on how to install this? Just in case I want to get this or the 505.
Really nice video, you tested any other game of the jak and daxter trilogy or only the first one? I need to know how they works and i haven't find any information about, anyone know something?

Hey! Great video, In theory the performance here should be equal to the new RG405V I assume? Also, can you test how Road Trip Adventure runs on this console?
So how does it compare to the RP3+? That got an update a few months ago as well. RP3+ is higher resolution, so which has the advantage in PS2 emulation?
I've made a recent comparison review of all the t618 handhelds. RP3+ is great after the update and has a great screen too. I love the premium feel of the rg405m (I suggest changing the face buttons though) and I love its pocketable size. Both have almost similar advantages with the updates, and you won't be disappointed with either one of them.
It's a shame watching those 4 buttons get all scratched up against that metal. All they need to do is add a thin Teflon bushing for the buttons to rub against. If they ever fix it then I'll buy but I can't bring myself to spend $150 on such an oversight.
Seems like it's mostly fighting games that struggle, which is good because I don't really do fighting games lol. Thanks for this and your GameCube one, too, they're helping influence me to go for this system.
Is there absolutely no way to broadcast this onto a tv? I really loved this model besides the fact supposedly you can’t stream it and play on a bigger tv :/
