NEW ANBERNIC RG556

I bought the RG556 after seeing it used by various Youtubers. My last portable emulator was a DragonBox Pandora, so this looked to be the best replacement within my price range.

The system is bigger than most other portable emulators, but it's really comfortable and easy to use.

The screen is excellent, being an AMOLED 1080p screen. There's no colour or motion issues and is easily viewed even at lower brightness levels.

The controls are standard XBox style, and there's a menu option to change it to Switch-style configuration.

Admittedly I did uninstall all the emulators to install the newest versions. This may affect my experience compared to other people.

The RG556 does most PS2 games brilliantly, although a fair few are slower or laggy. It looks like most of my favourites work, so I'm happy.

The Saturn, Dreamcast and N64 emulation are top-notch. There were a few issues with Panzer Dragoon, but that's not surprising as Saturn was always awkward to emulate.

I haven't tried a lot of the arcade or older machines, but what I have seen is good.

Overall, this is a great product. Not as powerful as the Odin 2, but has a better (IMHO) screen and a better pricetag.

I'm definitely looking at Anbernic again when the time comes to upgrade.

Its a great handheld but its a bit expensive for whats out there for the price point so thats y its a 4 atar .

The RG556 is the first of the bigger handhelds I've bought. I'm more used to the smaller ones like the RG35XX and its predecessor the RG350M as well as other brands. This RG556 feels totally different, mainly due to the care of the ergonomics and the screensize (the screen is about as big as the entire RG35XX) and it invites for longer play sessions.

I've not tested the moonlight gameplay yet, but the default emulators and roms so far have been working great. The triggers feel amazing, The buttons and joystick position I needed a bit of time to get used to but they work well. The dpad is also a delight. I love the screen, it is vibrant, nice colors and I've not noticed anything off.

This device is my stay at home handheld. I use the RG35XX when traveling due to its form factor, but the RG556 is easily my prefered handheld when not manhandling luggage and coping with weight and size constraints. This machine is brilliant for play on the couch or bed or whenever I have some downtime.

This RG556 feels a lot better than I thought it would, I'm pleasantly surprised.

pad eccezionali soprattutto coi picchiaduro, analogici ottimi, schermo stupendo, e immediata nel gioco, la consiglio a occhio chiusi, il service risponde immediatamente

I mainly got my RG566 to play games in Joiplay, which runs all games I added so far without a single signal of lag. I’ve been testing most of the emulators and I can say that the machine runs them very smooth.

If you’re thinking to get it, just do it as you won’t regret it at all.
