i have an RG556 i love it. you didnt touch on ps2/GC emulation but in my personal experience it runs most games pretty well with little to no issues. games that rely heavily on 3d graphics might start seeing issues at 1x resolution. was playing COD 2 TBRO and in scenes where building are burning there are lots of soldiers and gun fire and explosions i say it def dip down into the 20fps area not unplayable but def a struggle even with high cpu enabled. anyone looking into using the remapper tool on it should instead get mantis pro rather than the build in remapper tool. i had issues with some games using the remapper to do things like camera controls that mantis pro handled with no issue.
I appreciate seeing some more value oriented content on this channel. I say that; but, my favorite handheld of the three is the big Anbernic. Then again, it's a good value even if it's not exactly cheap.
Dude you serious need to work on your Audio Balancing. several videos that have recently came out there are parts were it gets quiet then all the sudden LOUD. and this video is no different.
The RG556 at 200 doesn't make a ton of sense. I'd rather spend an extra $80 and get a refurbished steam deck w/ a 1 year warranty, double the memory, and the ability to play actual PC/ Switch/ PS2/ etc. games.
@stormk-1130 No idea what you're talking about but I haven't "lied". It's "almost $200" on both Anbernic's site as well as through AliExpress. But it's about $10 cheaper through Anbernic, even after the coupon. Maybe you saw a promotion I didn't? Either way, your comment doesn't make much sense.
I've been looking for a handheld gaming consoles and PCs on Ali Express a long time easily over 2 years and still haven't bought anything, but I have found 3 perfect choices for me: SJGAM M25 that have a lot of Emulations that I like, Anbernic RG556 that runs an Android games perfectly that I like too would it run games like Tower of Fantasy because I like it more than Genshin Impact and last, but not least Onexplayer mini pro because I've been interested about Onexplayr handheld gaming PCs over 3 years since 2021 are Onexplayer handhelds good? That video was AWESOME thank you Eta Prime! 💜🖤
i just got the M25, from that link and it didn't came the same as this. It was pre installed with stock chinese OS and it doesn't boot to custom OS from micro SD. I tried EMULEC and the other custom OS just for troubleshooting purposes, none of them worked. I reached out to support, confirmed it only has the stock OS.
anbernic's higher powered consoles look great but i think they're overpriced. once the prices start to drop something better will be on the market. it doesn't help the handheld market has become oversaturated over the past year. the selection of handhelds has started to get out of hand.
the 28xx is my favourite of Anbernic's xx series. it's so pocketable, i literally never leave home without it in my pocket and i play SO much on it. it dragged me back to playing games by the nose hairs. also yeah a lanyard part would be nice. it's not too small imo, it's perfect for GBA (get the firmware update) and runs ps1 and dreamcast really well. i would actually not recommend it for snes because the aspect ratio does make it feel abit too small
To be fair, the reason to get these was never to just play the games. You could always play them on your phone for much cheaper. These handhelds were cool because of the form factor, so I think they're still valuable.
Hey ETA, I would really appreciate it if you could test the android game called free fire, it's like PUBG, I play it all the time on my mobile device but would really like to see it tested on the PC builds and handhelds you review, always been a big fan of your channel, it's so awesome, thank you much for your great content, much love coming all the way from South Africa
True, just with AliExpress you do get your items....a month later but you also like Temu have to VERY careful with what you are planing on buying. Temu is a straight up scam in ever sense but Ali has actual products but they are hidden by hundreds of garbage products
There are Sonic games for the Game Boy Advance: Sonic Advance Sonic Advance 2 Sonic Advance 3 Sonic Battle Sonic Pinball Party Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis (a terrible port of Sonic the Hedghog 1) Sonic X: A Super Sonic Hero/Game Boy Advance Video Volume 1 (a GBA Video Pak featuring Episodes 1 & 2 of Sonic X)

Picked me up a r36s for $25 using your coupon code. Should be the least expensive psx handheld with analog sticks available on the current market.

When are they ever in stock
@@oscarguridi4681 right now?
You can actually get the RG556 cheaper through Anbernic direct
thats a lie almost 200 dollars for it.

That M25 looks good... if only it was made by Anbernic.
Now this is the video ive been hyped for for so long 🙏🏽
Yes, this was the kind of content I subbed here for!

How often do you give out those aliexpress codes? I've used a few each time and they're such amazing deals!
Still better than a ps portal

Just imagine if that first one could run PS Vita (Vita3K) AND could be made to run a remote play compatible client, as well as PS1, PS2, PSP...
Awesome video. Are you going to make a video of the new Radxa X4 that is out. 😊
I just tried using the ETA25 but it isn't working. I thought I had till the 25th to use it
Promo codes not working!
Hi ETA PRIME, love your videos!
Hmm could you do PS2 Games to to the last one? Anbernic RG556 pls? ❤
It runs most games, but the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro is better
Leave it to rando Chinese manufacturer to make a better PS Portal 😂
Are the codes for US only? I tried using them (i.e. ETAP15), but it says not available in my country/region.
RGB28XX looks a lot like my Powkiddy Q90.
Is it more powerful ? ( Even if for this tiny screen, only 2d games are revelant in my opinion)
Anybody know what is currently the most powerful emulation handheld?
The codes don’t work. I tried to use the $25 off and never applies
Did you try with or without the P? The vid has ETA25 but the description has ETAP25 being the code.
@@tom611 tried both, none worked
@OmarGbits same issue here.
Can the RG556 Play Fortnite at above 30FPS?
Nice uh, either Korean or Japanese version of God of War you were showing off on the last device lmao
Can you review poco x6 pro 5g for emulations and gaming tests
🎉
i ever but from aliexpress never had an issue and i spent less
The RG556 is cheaper directly from Ambernic
Next time on "just get a steam deck"...
@@saphricpcgaming5182 Yes Sir...😅
Yes Sir....😅
Ah yes, let me get a handheld pc and compare it to retro handhelds. Not to mention availability, price etc.
To be fair, the reason to get these was never to just play the games. You could always play them on your phone for much cheaper. These handhelds were cool because of the form factor, so I think they're still valuable.
comparing heaven to earth...
really smart
Sonic Advance 2??? The hell???
2nd also in just 3 minutes
Re: The M25; So ... a low end overpriced handheld in a shell designed to look like a PS or modern handheld...

Codes don’t work chief.
Day 635 asking @ETA PRIME to review Sunshine/Moonlight
I think the devices that focus on emulators need to use a 16:10 ratio
😁😁😁👍👍👍
