Anbernic RG556 Gamecube Gameplay Testing

In this video, I test Gamecube emulation on the Anbernic RG556 using the development build of the Official Dolphin emulator.
For the most part, the Anbernic RG556 is capable of playing pretty much any Gamecube game, though there are some exceptions like Rogue Leader. Many games will play just fine with default settings but some harder to run games may require a few tweaks.

    I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but none of my games are running on GC dolphin. I tried SSX3 and wind waker and both were tearing and running slow. In fact ssx3 on ps2 emulation is almost unplayable. And it’s the one game I so badly want to work. Part of the reason I got the 556.

    Both of those games should run just fine with default settings. A few things to consider: are you using the latest dev build of dolphin? Don't use the play store version as it is usually pretty behind in updates. Your dolphin settings, most settings can just be default here but maybe just check the rendering resolution is 2x for now, compile shaders before starting, and vbi skip are on (these are necessary for the two games you mention but will help with others) Other considerations are your SD card.. does it have a fast data transfer rate? Try moving your roms to internal storage to see if that helps. Lastly, pull down the shade by swiping from the top and set auto mode to high mode for increased performance.. again this isn't really necessary for the two games you mention but it will help a little.

    @@RetroHandheldGuides thank you. I’ll try all that. My card should be fine. But I did get the software from play store. I followed another guild and they just used the play store. I change my settings and see if that helps. TY. Also I think I changed to Vulcan. That might be the issue as well. I’m novice with emulation so I’m learning.

    Vulkan should have a bit better performance and is recommended for PS2 and psp emulators but for dolphin it can be unstable so I personally just stick with opengl

    It’s working but the video at the beginning has graphic tearing. The game itself runs great like you show. Could be the rom. I’ll try another source. Thank you for all your help. Have a subscriber as a thank you 😊

    Thanks for subscribing! I have found that most GC games in rvz format have poor quality videos. I think it's probably their compression algorithm. In general I've found the videos for GC roms to not be great so it might be something you just have to learn to live with. PS2 emulation doesn't have the same problem so if you want to watch the videos and there is a PS2 version of the game, try that one instead

    Why is Metroid Prime "mostly playable"? Seems to me to run pretty smooth

    For the most part it is pretty smooth but there is some stuttering when entering new rooms and sometimes when you start shooting. Overall I would consider it a pretty good experience to play from what I tested

    @@RetroHandheldGuides Am I right in assuming stuff like that would be solved by playing at 1x 1.5 x resolution? I'd try myself but my 556 is on the way lol

    3 ай бұрын

    Not necessarily. For some games a lower resolution will make the frame rate smoother but compilation stuttering on entering new rooms may not be fixed by lowering the resolution. Also, official dolphin does not have fractional resolutions.. just 1x or 2x or 3x etc
