Anbernic RG556 PS2 Gameplay Testing

In this video, I test PS2 emulation on the Anbernic RG556 using the latest build of NetherSX2.
For the most part, the Anbernic RG556 is capable of playing PS2 games, though every once in a while I found a game that just wouldn't run no matter what I tried.
You'll likely notice that a few of the games tested are the PAL ROM versions. This wasn't a necessity for the most part, it's just what I had on hand already though in a few cases, it probably did help a little.
Be sure to check out my RP4P vs RG556 impressions video if you haven't already done so: • Retroid Pocket 4 Pro v...

    It's really started to grow on me. For pure power, the rp4p is great. But there is something about the bigger screen and grips that makes the rg556 a great device

    I know this retro console is intended for emulation, but I'm so addicted to playing SpongeBob Remake and Stardew Valley on the RG556 that I forget this is a retro console

    Try to play in 4:3 aspect ratio, you’ll see much better performance, because 6th generation consoles games mostly have 4:3 ratio.

    Yeah you could play at 4:3 but what is the fun in that with a nice beautiful 16:9 screen?

    RG556 has an AMOLED display and I think 4:3 don’t be so annoying because you will not see that black borders. I also playing all games till 6th gen consoles in native ratio on my Steam Deck OLED. And it looks more authentic😉

    Fair enough. I've always been of the opinion that everyone should just play the games the way they want as long as they are enjoying themselves! 😉

    I tried the first 30 minutes of warrior within and two thrones and both ran fine with no issues at 1.75x. both were PAL versions but they seem pretty easy to emulate so ntsc version should run fine as well

    In terms of pure performance rp4p is best, rg556 is 2nd and odin 1 is last. If you are new to emulation in Android, go with the rp4p as most will just play without a bunch of tweaking. Anbernic has the better screen and ergonomics and can play most games as rp4p but at lower resolution. Odin 1 is probably going to leave you wishing you got something more powerful.. it can play PS2 and GC but lots of games need tweaking and messing with settings

    For the "don't bother" games, the emulation speed regularly stays below 100%. Burnout as an example only ever plays at 70% speed which is technically playable but no way near the actual speed the game would normally play at. It's like playing the game in slo mo
