Love At First Sight | RG Cube Initial Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- It’s everything I loved about the RGB30 but so much better. Android 13, touch screen, comfy as heck, circle dpad?!?!, made by a company with a good reputation of making great handhelds. Here's another home run. This is what this hobby is all about. Big thanks to LITNXT for providing this unit for review and for supporting small content creators like myself.

Hey guys, at 2:54, I misspoke and said 3.5" instead of 3.95". The screen is very close to 4 inches. Sorry about the confusion. Words are hard
i always have to clarify my extra half inch too
@justinbouchard hey it matters lmao
@@JaviPlayRetro 🤣🤣😅
@@JaviPlayRetro hi.
this is copy pasta. xD (td, joey, javi)
i think i found a way to reclaim the space lost when cloning to bigger sd card.
(so can use one sd card setup for os and games, i tried this in rg35xxsp).
if you guys were planning to make a video on this, please do.
since the testpool is only me, this can be a troll, but i don't know.
thank you.
You actually misspoke again because it's 3.97 not 3.95 😂 come on man you're only job here is details of a small gaming device..tf!
Man I'm getting old. Never thought I'd hear the day someone would call the Sega Game Gear an obscure system.
@JB-tp6uj sorry I didnt mean to offend
@@JaviPlayRetro No offense taken. I thought it was funny.
@JaviPlayRetro Obscure is good, Sonic Triple Trouble SUCKS!!!
@@JB-tp6uj Itd be pretty wild to hear that from Rus or Taki
If you truly are intro retro gaming, Sega and even Neo Geo are not “obscure” systems by any means. They have been in the news in recent years with the releases of their mini consoles. The Sega mini 2, for instance, was released a little more than a year ago. More than our old age, what missing the significance of Sega means is probably that retro-gaming has become a mainstream entertainment area as opposed to a specialized hobby. And that is both good and bad.
This was a great review. It went very in-depth on the pros and cons of the Cube without being super long and it was nice to see a review from someone who's taken the time to really set up their device. There's a software tweak to remove the anbernic launcher from the RG button but I don't know if it would fix the annoying behavior where it's switching the default launcher around.
I have my RG Cube setup with Gamma's thumbstick fix, ES-DE configured, and the RG button launches ES-DE. I don't use an aftermarket launcher so that hasn't been a problem for me. I do have a little bit of light bleed but nothing noticeable to the naked eye. It doesn't bother me in real world usage.
Minecraft having squares and cubes everywhere fits the screen ratio
Props to you for buying the same colourway as mine man! Great taste in handhelds young lad!!! This RG Cube is a fantastic addition to my collection.
the sad thing about this color is that it will turn into yellow because of the dirt. I talked to anbernic manager about this common problem :/
@@UnboxRitual 😶
@@UnboxRitual Well, I'll have to make the effort to keep the unit out of direct sunlight and use only with white gloves.😉
That's exactly why I've ordered the black one, plus black hides the bezels! 😉🍀
Excellent video! This colorway looks fantastic, might be the best choice. Apparently Gamma has already fixed the sticks in software. Looking forward to any possible battery and performance boosts that Gamma may unlock down the line.
What's Gamma?
@@BenjaminFranklin-76 TheGammaSqueeze is a developer who made Gamma OS, custom firmware for Anbernic’s T618 devices that unlocked battery life and performance that had been left on the table. Currently working on the T820 chipset among other things.
Hopefully my limited understanding allowed me a proper response, but someone else chime in if I didn’t explain that correctly.
Great video! Looking for an Anbernic device to play DS and 3DS games. This could be it!
FIY you can rebind the Anbernic launcher button. I've bound it to launch my preferred frontend, Beacon!
The NES and SNES are 4:3 systems. There's a difference between logical aspect ratio and display aspect ratio. They didn't have square pixels.
I really like your videos, you're very insightful but could you please make the background music just a bit quieter? I find it competes with your voice. Keep up the great content.
I love everything but the digital sticks. Why??? There is always that one thing, and this device was almost perfect!!
Whaaaaaaa!
Go outside!
@JaviPlayRetro
I really appreciate your videos. Could you make a tutorial on must dos when getting a new retro handheld eg. anbernic rg cub or rg35xx. As well as things you should add
Man, that d-pad looks SO comfy. I'm torn between the cozy aspect of this or the retroid pocket 4 pro
@@kfour9 same here bro. The only set back for me is psp gameplay on this cube
Make the decision based on the 4:3 vs 16:9. Which systems do you plan to play? PS1 and earlier, go with Cube. PSP and Android titles + ports RP4
Also the cube is much more ergonomic
Great video! I'll point out a correction. It's roughly a 4" (3.95") square screen, not 3.5". It's a small mistake, so no worries. The RG Cube looks good, but I have too many handhelds as it is.
Then they changed it since I last looked because I copied and pasted it into my comment. It also has been a month, so anything is possible.
Thank you Javi! Excellent video!😊
This is its final form though and the fastest SOC with that you really need because of the one by one aspect ratio.
Great overview! Is there anyway to quick save/load in the 3DS emulator? I can’t seem to figure it out. Thx
Damn, that lower left Anbernic button really is useless if it cant be changed to anything else. Hopefully GammaOS will sort that problem!
I hope they make clear case and silicone cases for it
For what?
What are you 10 years old!?
Do you keep dropping your toys 😂
Can't wait for mine. Should be here in couple days, still lil worried bout screen bleed will see what happens. Got that same color.
can I ask what emulator you are using to play DS games at the start of the video? I am using DraStic and everything works fine but I want to get rid of the on screen controls and make the top screen bigger than the bottom. any pointers/advice appreciated!
@bensparrow88 Im using drastic its same one you have. You just have to press the button menu button and turn off touch controls. You can also go into the settings a disable them. Also, you can change your layout in settings, too. You should see one that says edit layout and then you want to change it to the size of the next wallpaper. Its difficult to explain. Ill see if I can put together a guide for you
I am going to put out a video on how to get the anber button to be something else useful.
Great video. Also love the soundtrack
This isnt a flagship handheld. Its more like a midrange. Ayn Odin 2/mini or the Ayaneo Pocket S are closer to what you would call flagships
@Oliver-zw7tw Its a flagship for Anbernic I think
Interested but worried about the screen bleed issues
@leonboy9388 It's understandable. If you want, you can wait for all the early batches to be sold and then purchase one if you're still interested in a couple of months. That's probably safer. I've read LITNXT return policy and it's pretty good. It says they test everything before shipping, but personally, I've never had a defective unit from them, so I dont know for sure. Hope this helps
You can remap the R button with apps.
Can you make a video getting PokeMMO working on the RGCube?
You’re using citra ? Or lime 3ds ? I noticed you don’t have the son screen buttons if so let me know. I want to know because I would like to upgrade from my rg405m to the rg cube.
Hey, how do you put apps in the 5th line like that on an Android phone?
@GizdaIin That's a feature of nova launcher
At 2:50. It's a 4" screen, not 3.5". Or am I wrong?🤔
How do I like it compared to the RG556? Which one would you recommend?
What's with people using the wrong version of adjectives? It's not "more sharp", it's just sharper. I hear this kind of mistake all the time on social media.
words are hard
@@JaviPlayRetro that's true. Good rule of thumb is if the adjective is one syllable the comparative is just the -er suffix.
Most of people dont speak english as they first language, so its hard to talk perfectly.
On internet you will deal with people from all the World.
Differences between the 128 and 256 gb versions? Exclusives?
If you had to choose between this or another handheld specifically for Pokémon only (only reason I want it) which would you suggest???
@JustChill_TV Depends do you want to play Ds and 3ds pokemon games or just the older ones?
@@JaviPlayRetro probably from Gen 1 till Gen 4 so 3DS but I definitely want the older versions like FireRed and Soul Silver
@JustChill_TV Some of the other handhelds can play ds pokemons but you have be contants switching between screens. If that doesnt bother you. Go with RG40XX or RG35XX H or even Plus if you want something vertical
@@JaviPlayRetro I ended up getting the one you showed with hacks ect lol but eventually I’ll grab a newer model after a few months cause I’m sure they will drop new versions
How did u remove the side borders on the top screen for the ds games?
Im trying to find a solution too its so annoying
no light bleeding?
Hey Javi is it possible to play Pokemon Xenoverse on this?
Please please please, don’t use background music, it makes very difficult to understand you for people with hearing problems.
It’s roughly a 4 inch square screen not 3.5 inch.
@provis83 Sorry I meant 3.95" that was a typo
All sounds good, but would you have still got this if the rg406p was out?
I personally really enjoyed the RGB30 and I really like added perks of a square screen. This is a much better version of that handheld. After playing 3DS & DS emulation I probably wouldn't care to switch over to the RG406P is that was out. To me, that's the biggesting selling point of this handheld because you can't play 3DS or DS well on many of these handhelds.
@@JaviPlayRetro never taught there would be a handheld that could emulate double screen systems in a singles screen. Well, it seems today is the day...
@albertosaldivar2934 Yeah you dont know how long Ive wanted to be able to play the ds pokemons on a good system.
YOO I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU A LONG TIME
What system is perfect for N64, Dreamcast and Gamecube?
The rg 405m and 405v are pretty good, perfect screen size and good performance for n64, which is enough to upscale it by 2 times.
4 inch screen not 3.5
it is not a 3.5 inch screen 😅
can't hear your voice because of the BGM
How many storage slots are there
@yuzzi8861 only 1 but it has 128GB internal storage
@@JaviPlayRetro Does the base model have any internal storage?
@yuzzi8861 yes 128 Gb
Nice video ! but the shitty background music ??!!!
It's not funtastic because its not transparent.
🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
You're not running Daijisho?
@STR82DVD No, I enjoy the way I have it set up with shortcuts to the games Im playing now. It works for me
@@JaviPlayRetro Easy access. Launcher choice is a personal choice based on use case.
@@JaviPlayRetro Fair enough lad.
soul silver is such a easy boring out dated pokemon game lol if ur not a child and want a challange try pokemon eternal x wont cry if it takes u more then a year to beat the 3rd gym lol
Man this thing is Uglly, the display sucks no way spent money on this thing.
