I just watched 26 minutes of the Anbernic RG556 review waiting for a teardown with the pocket knife in the thumbnail. I left with a better understanding the performance and the gameplay of instead. It's such a great review I can't say that I'm disappointed.
Ah thanks. Sorry if you felt misled. The knife is a meme with my channel.
@@adinwalls No worries. I'm new to the channel too. It's a bit quirky, but everything I've watched gave me good information. Keep the inside jokes :)
thank you for this comparison, even though I’ve seen tons of these videos and I already have the RG556. This video is super cool and informative. Thank you for putting in the time 🙌🏽
Hey man thanks so much for watching
Seen a lot of reviews, all the reviews points the analog sticks. And I can live with that. Number 1 reason I would get the RG556 is the price in my region, I can get it for low as $170 (discounts). The RP4 Pro cost $245 and Odin cost $300, that's $75 and $130 difference. And also the OLED screen. I would namely use it for Android native games. Setting up emulators would be easy for me, already used to tinkering on android phone and tablets. Edit: All prices are in my region
Excellent point!
Truth is, they aren’t as bad as they are made out to be; they are over sensitive which can usually be mitigate in apps. Since they have 0 dead zone, I have noticed their usable range is actually pretty similar to a full size xbox controller. Anbernic really needs to sort out a firmware update to reduce sensitivity and the amount of cordinal snap, however given their history don’t hold your breath.
Just a quick correction, 'cause I have been eying the RP4 Pro for a while now, it's $199, sans a discount/sale!
@@xJanikoForgot to mention, the prices I said were from online platform (similar to amazon) in my region and that includes shipping cost. Anbernic is being sold by themselves (directly from china) and Odin has a official reseller (hence retail price), Retroid has no official store and are being sold as gray market resellers. Ordering from others might involve additional shipping cost and taxes (any orders above $180).
@@goodfodderwe would have to settle for 3rd party operating systems if we want to optimize usage and spare resources for PS2 games
You literally described my situation at the end with scenario 1. I already have a Miyoo Mini+ for traveling and I was thinking about getting the Ambernic RG556 because I wanted something bigger. This confirms it! When I get them money, that's what I'll go for! Thank you!
Go for it!
I absolutely adore that transparent blue
Hehe yes it’s stunning.
It feels so incredibly smooth as well. My best feeling device I own.
I love the Anbernic 556, I’ll have 2X of these because I always buy 2 of everything for parts so I have a spare. I also bought the RG35XX-H for my disability clients to use as this looks EASY to repair if anything ever happens to it!
I just want a RP4 with left stick on top. No more, no less.
I bought the 556 last month and have not got it to full potential but can say it's a fantastic device for the price. I was torn between that and the Rp4 pro but am really glad I chose what I felt was the best handheld for me. Your video has confirmed it too. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. Yes it’s hard to argue with that!
You really captured it. I wish the rp4 pro was a different device, just a bit bigger. That screen on the rp4 is pretty small once you see it in person..
I have to say, you have my favorite intro to any of the emulation KZheadr channels.
Correct. 😀
+1 👍
Awesome review, thank you. My beloved GPD XD+ is getting a bit dated so I started looking for an upgrade. I just want my handheld to do retro games and GooglePlay, I prefer high end graphics at home on the big screen. It came down to the Anbernic RG556 and the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. After nerding out to a ton of review content on both I went with the RG556 and I can't love this thing enough. The size is perfect, not too big, not too small, just right. The PS2 emulation is flawless. The 5.48" 1080p AMOLED screen is 15% larger and has 30% more resolution than the Pocket 4 Pro screen, that was a big factor. And I can't overstate how comfortable the 556 is to hold and play. Much better sound than I was expecting too.
i have a question since is an android device can you instal steam link on it?
Would love to see measurements of how much force the buttons + dpad require to activate. Some devices make my hands get tired really fast just because the buttons are too firm. Like, a RG35XX-H requires about 150g while a MM+ only needs 70g, so I can play a MM+ for a lot longer.
True, I felt the RG35XX wear me down more quickly than Miyoo Mini. Miyoo Mini had the right amount of presses needed to activate. The only Anbernic device I enjoy is ANbernic RG-ARC.
I have an RG 35XX (not H) and I'll say the retroid has MUCH better feeling controls. Everything, especially the D pad, are tiers above the 35XX.
In fact we have already got 2 devices from Retroid Pocket: RP4 pro and Odin 2 (they are under the same umbrella). For bigger screen, more powerful chips, and ergonomic, you go for Odin2; otherwise just get RP4 or RP4pro
That’s a fair point. Hmmmm with all the Odin 2 comments I feel like I need to get one!
@@adinwalls Odin 2 is way more expensive than 556 and RP4 pro but it is really worthy the extra money as it's the ultimate or dream device for retro games. IMO it could be powerful enough to emulate even Xbox360 or PS3 - we just haven't got these emulators for Android yet but who knows. It's been more than 6 months since Odin2 got launched but take a look there is still no rivals of Odin 2. Anyway a bit strange but there has not been any Odin 2 review in your channel yet...hmmm
@@adinwalls yeah, your videos come off as ignorant when you keep claiming that retroid should make bigger devices when the whole point is for them to be smaller and more pocketable while the ayn line are larger....
I feel like at the $300+ you might as well get the steam deck. Unless maybe you're really adamant about ps2 emulation, as it runs a little better on Android currently.
@@dogboy0912odin 2 is honestly much more comfortable for playing in general for me and easier to carry around and the battery life is the best among any emulation handheld, steam deck oled cant touch it in that regard at all, so totally worth it for 200 less usd honestly
If the rumors are true both GoRetroid and AYN are parts of same mother company Moorechip. Rp4 and Odin 2 has same standardized D-pad and new hall sensor analog sticks when competitors still using Joy cons. In that case bigger version of Rp4 is Odin 2. Market is splited: Retroid - cheaper more pocketable mass devices when AYN - bigger and more powerful top tier units. If you want sth between you are going for Rg556
I've been watching you and TechDweeb for the last week or so, learning about starting handheld emulation, I have decided on the Miyoo Mini +, if I get into emulation i'll probs get more, but tbd. :D Keep up the awesome content.
Ah great! Thanks for watching the Miyoo Mini plus is an excellent start.
for a pro rp4 i would have liked two micro sd slots a oled screen and make the small fan better idk how but that would have been perfect. still love my rp4 pro though would buy another one
Awaiting my own 556 and i fit the buyer of the scenario 1 and came to the exact conclusion. Have my Rg35xx for my on the go, quick sessions but the ergonomics did no favors for home game play. The 556 offers affordable pricing for a robust experience. Good content
Ah cool. And although the sticks aren’t great for streaming, you can definitely get by with them.
Love these vids and your input about these devices. If you had to pick between keychain devices: Fun Key S or RG Nano, which would you pick? I valuable your opinion a lot, feel free to ignore my comment if you don't know much about them
Hey there. I actually meant to order the Finley to do a video with the Nano but never did. The nano has a great audio output with a proper DAC which is nice if you want that. I also really like the metal for a keychain device. The Finley is a flip which is actually a brilliant idea to protect a keychain device. Sorry I don’t have a solid answer, both are cool, I think I would buy the nano due to the metal shell.
@@adinwalls If considering the nano, due to metal, the GKD Pixel joins the conversation
@adinwalls thanks! Love your vids. I appreciate the response. Also the nano is a lot cheaper. I'd probably use it on my keychain so I'd need to think about cases and how to protect the screen I think
Great video!
Thank you
I agree about the sticks. I bought this device thinking that maybe they aren't so bad, but it's become a deal-breaker for me since I primarily want to play N64 on my retro gaming handheld. That and there is no way to charge the battery and do video output at the same time, so it's not even a decent console experience. I was really hoping this was going to be my do-all device, but I'll be packing it up this weekend and returning it. The screen is amazing though, and if you're only playing pre-N64 games and don't plan to use it as a console, I think it would be a good pick.
I like that tac folder, but hoo wee using it to point out features next to these two beauties gave me a slight panic attack lol
I wouldn't have got the RP4pro if it was bigger. It's exactly what I was looking for size/performance wise.
Great comparison mate! I keep holding off on doing one as I keep changing my mind about the 556 😅 I agree 💯 with all the points you make though 👍
Well from a youtuber persepctive these devices are really hot right now so you're safe in terms of views :-)
@@adinwalls true! I gave up trying to rush videos to keep up and decided to focus on enjoying the whole process again 🙂
Good plan!
I put the grip backwards on my RP3+ and it fits in my fanny bag that i wear crossbody, take it with me everywhere i go. Can you do that with the 4/4pro? RG556 is too big for me, not portable, its more of a couch device, Retroid is perfect for my use. Own a MM+ for PS1 and below, RP3+ everything above that, but i do put some ps1 and below favorite games.
Okay cool that’s a very nice setup.
Im a tech savvy person and really into gaming and retro handhelds Im actually practicing my english listening skills and I really dig your voice and accent. Youre eloquent af dude Cheers from brazil mate 👍 you got one more sub
Ah what a wonderful comment. Thank you
Yep, I been teeling people dont sleep on the 556. i like the RP4 Pro, I really do, but the 556 makes it a little harder to resist. Awesome video Adin, you make some great points as usual.
Hey thanks for checking out the vid!!
Great review! The RG556 is really an awesome device, but you basically hit the nail on the head on all the reasons why I chose the RP4P over it. The sheer power and portability are the biggest factors for me. I think it's just insane to have a device I can throw in my pocket or sling bag that can play GC/PS2 games. Unfortunately, the RG556 is just a tad too big for me to carry as easily. So I'd just be playing with the RG556 primarily at home. But I fall in #2 of your buyer scenarios where I already own a Steam Deck OLED so it really doesn't make any sense for me to have another handheld that I would only play with in my house.
Hey man yes if I did another RP4pro video it would hinge on those factors: small and powerful. That’s something I think a lot of people would enjoy. In fact I think I should do something like that next week. Thanks for watching and thanks for the video idea! Haha
It's very hard to go back to switch sticks after using the Odin and Retroid sticks. Othwrwise though, unless you want pocketability, the 556 is a great device.
Yup those Retroid stick are great
I still went with the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. Couldn't be happier
I love it too
Anbernic, Odin and Retroid Pocket handholds are from the same company located in Shenzhen China.
Odin is the king
The rumour is that Odin and Retroid are sister companies but Anbernic is definitely not associated with them.
I have a hard time to trust the triggers on spendier anbernic devices after returning one. Time will tell , hopefully it improves and maybe I'm defensive as I just bought the RP4P !
Haha maybe. Nothing wrong with the RP4pro
I will never look at Hugh Jackman the same way - brilliant and HILARIOUS! Thanks for another great video. I am still not sure if I want one of these so I appreciate very much the in depth comparison.
Hey man. lol. The perfect play on words.
Having had a device with the retroid button layout for ps2 and GameCube stuff it just isn’t really for me. I totally get why others may prefer it but I love my 556 and I’m really hopeful about the next few years of these devices
Apparently there’s a new chip on the way that could elevate things a lot. Let’s see what happens
i have probelm Pocket 4 Pro when i turn off ppsspp all game gone and ps1 too the only Issues
Imagine if they had a baby, bigger screen, better triggers, oled, ergonomic, better analog, I would definitely buy it!
Well I imagine the Odin 3 will have an OLED
This is your niche, Adin. Device vs device videos. Most people are stuck between 2-3 devices at a specific price point. Not many videos campare them directly. Just keep up the good work and don't worry about metrics.
Thanks for that. Well the last two videos have been comparisons which have done well. But then again the RP4 vs RG556 is a fairly hot topic right now.
Thats why i always make grips for all my devices that are not good ergonomically and i make them from Nintendo Switch Grips i made some for the RRP4 Pro and its way better than the RRP4 Pro Grips
I love my RG556, and for the cost (£121 direct from Anbernic's AliExpress store) for that OLED screen and power (never thought I'd get Wii, 3DS and Vita working so smoothly on a handheld like this) is madness.
Ya man it’s a good balance.
I can't find them for that price on Ali express, cheapest I've found is £140
Have you got a link for getting it at that price buddy? If you do...I'm gonna click buy haha
@@y2kcurran Choice Day promo code that would work is UKET25 I believe
@@y2kcurran UKMA15 is the correct code, cheapest I can see currently is £136 with the code
We need to get a revised KTR1 to you, Adin. I'd love to see your opinions on it. Especially given your concerns with the 556.
Hmmm I’m intrigued…..
How do you turn off the on screen controls when playing ps2 games?
Hey I can't tell you off the top of my head but my RP4 setup video will have the answer kzhead.info/sun/a5qhg5aybXalaq8/bejne.htmlsi=fKS_jeoTG6Qdsr6Y
Funny part is I’m torn between whether or not to get either the 556 or RP4P, an Odin2 Pro, or Steam Deck. Decisions decisions.
Some very different devices there. You’ll have to decide what you want to do with the device and take it from there.
I think I have enough of handhelds already, so no buy for me. But still is it still enjoyable to watch new reviews sometimes👌🏻 The only handheld I could probably buy is aya neo ds, but it's a bit too expensive though 👀
Hey man. Ya Ayaneo is so expensive.
@@adinwalls yeah you don't say 😅 But it's the inly one I am currently truly interested in
It’s a very enticing concept! I’m just all in with the Steamdeck right now
@@adinwalls steam deck actually is an amazing wii u emulation machine. Played through Mario Kart 8 and Mario 3D World, but it was somewhat inconvenient sometimes without 2nd screen. Also actually I still have my 2ds xl around to play ds and 3ds games, so even though I like aya neo ds a lot, I don't think I will ever spend that much money on an emulation machine 😅
@vhsretrogamer1664 that’s a very good point. Why get the AyaNeo when you can just get a Steamdeck and rather buy original hardware for 3ds/DS.
Sonic generations 3DS on rp4pro plays fine for me with citra canary. Can’t remember what power profile I play on tho.
Hmmm I still get stutters. I must look into it again.
AetherSx2 is still an amazing Emulator and I think 95% of the Games are playable so in my opinion it doesnt really need any Updates. Also there are other developers who continuing the Work of citra (for example Luigis Mansion dark moon is now playable with citra enhanced with 60fps on most phones), sudachi continuing yuzu and If it gets canceld there is a Hope that ryjinux will come to Android some day. So thats the reason i prefer the rp4 pro to get a little bit more Power of the device and also it's tiny enough Ton of it Info your Pocket.
Thanks for that!
I feel it’s stuck in between a RP4 pro and an Odin 2. It doesn’t have the portability of the former, nor the screen size and power of the latter.
Fair point
I like the bigger screen of the 556❤
It's not just bigger it oled ❤
It’s a wonderful screen
Yes
lol.
I went with the RG556 after watching your previous review on it. Can’t wait for mine to arrive. 😊
The rog ally z1 is 250
Haha I completely forgot that I made another video about this!
I'm kinda glad that the RP4pro didn't go "bigger". I specifically didn't want an odin 2 sized device. I wanted the RP3 form factor. I have a steam deck for the bigger handheld/streaming device. I wanted something smaller and lighter that was still backpack-tossable to bridge between the 35xx/miyoo mini plus in my uniform pocket and the large device of the steam deck. *edit* Lololol you even predicted I exist at the end. Well played. I do wish the performance was a HAIR better, I still find struggles with some 3ds and PS2 titles on the RP4pro that aren't insurmountable but are obnoxious when I just want them to be more or less just plug and play, and I do wish it had a larger screen with smaller bezels in the same form factor. But that's really splitting hairs. I like that retroid sells buttons and back shells, I was able to turn my beige model into a super nintendo color and then buy all the back shells for super, super cheap, a clear grip, and make my own custom two tone watermelon/beige model with a custom dyed grip to match, and 3d printed cover for it with the grip, it's just been such a versatile little device. But in the end, I am still a vertical form factor person. Going to be ordering the new vertical version of the RGB30 next payday.
Hehe yes I knew you were out there 😂 and yes I think I’m going to like the RGB20sx too
My guy brought a knife to a screen fight. Could have ended badly.
😝
If Sophie's choice had been about the decision between a 556 and an RP4 pro it would have been a far more intense and emotional watch! 😂
Lol
I think we gonna get better devices this year for the same price. I would say nether the rp4 pro and rg556 are perfect, but for now I prefer rp4 pro
Hello Bro, I am planning to gift an anbernic device to my son who is 7 years old. I am looking for an anbernic device which has preloaded popular retro games. My son cannot download roms and do the initial setup for the device. So I am looking for a device which is ready to use. Can you please suggest any device from anbernic. Thankyou.
What’s your budget
Thank you Harry Potter for the review! Can I have the cactus behind you sir?
Yes you can!
So at the beginning you're talking about the Odin 2 bigger screen more power, great ergonomics, great buttons, amazing joysticks everyone that has owned one has not said anything bad about the Odin 2 unless they had a random manufacturer error that got replaced fast. So top tier for Anbernic sure, but does this company even have a real R&D team? The only thing I personally said this device had going for it is the size sure is good and the OLED well not playing AAA games on this I'm barely playing 3DS games at 2x resolution WELL. I like that you compared the LCD though because the 4 really does have a nice screen I even think it's a bit better than the Odin 2. The brightness test when you had it all the way up the picture looks washed out just like my experience it looked washed out to me as well. The joysticks are literally DPAD joysticks but they smash against the edges of the bezel with games that require them. Spend an extra $0.50 China because we know how much you can get those nice Odin 2 joysticks for price wise. If buying for streaming expect WiFi drops I can't even get a signal to my router in my kitchen on this device where all of my other devices even my TV in my kitchen have never had this issue. Speakers could have even had a vent angular design to point the speaker to the front. The 4 failed the 4 should have looked and felt like the 2S but more power. Instead the 4 is still the 3S to me. Check the DPAD in your button test app the dpad has so many major flaws 😂. Look for that amazing false diagonals they have people despise this and I could feel it before I even tested it. The ABXY buttons way to smashed together space them out and they'd be good. The volume/start/select/home/back buttons are terrible. Mind you I didn't like at first the 4 Pro button placement but I actually got used to it. I'm glad you gave an honest opinion though about everything I have the black model of this and the plastic feels cheap maybe I should have tried the one everyone else keeps buying or getting. I won't give away your opinion but what I despise about other reviewers that get devices sent to them, is that they seem to hype up the device they got no matter what. I'll be honest in my reviews because these companies need to hear the flaws otherwise the company isn't going to learn where they need to change things the next time.
great insight and thank you. and it’s interesting you prefer the rp2 shape while me and many others seem to enjoy this rp3 form factor more 🤔
@@fairyboy444 there are plenty more that didn't like the 3/3+ even myself I own the 2+ still to this day plus the 2s and it's my go to for 4:3 retro games. When it comes to higher end stuff my Odin 2 is where the magic happens because it just has everything right in my opinion.
As a Psn fan, how i wish the thumb stick were same as the Pocket4. It would be perfect if Rg556 did, imo.
Oh yes. Personally the sticks are an absolute deal breaker for me. But I know for many people it isn’t.
and how many years of Anbernic do we have left these emulator things are going to keep being made - Retroid Pocket 4 pro - same one as yours - 1 terabyte card AliExpress...!! South Africa huh ...GodSpeed!!:D
Rp4 pro's shitty QC made it a hard choice for me. My GF's little bro had nightmares trying to repair it. Thing broke down in first 48 hours.
Sorry to hear that.
I love the south african context to things whereit doesn't make sense to buy this when the price is so high when accounted for shipping, I have seen the 556 on Takealot but it's clocking R7000...
Ya man it’s a bit extreme. If people really want it I recommend they use GoGameGeek because shipping is included in the price and I don’t think import duties will be high.
My Odin 2 came in at R 9k total with shipping and customs, plus case and screen protector. Expensive but not as bad as I thought it would be. Seems AYN declared the value low for the item hence cheaper customs that I paid 😆
@rob8311 relatively speaking that's still not bad for a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 device so for that price it's not bad especially since a Switch OLED is around that price but then again I'm considering getting ROG Ally because of those costs.
@@neville.davids you worried about battery on the ROG? I also looked at. Steam Deck but the size is too big. I can't imagine even attempting to travel with it.
@rob8311 Not really worried about battery , I'm looking to a docked PC setup so it'll be plugged in most of the time so I'm looking to play lightweight systems like GBA, PSP portably when i have free time which is like an hour or two which the ROG Ally can do easy and then PS2, Gamecube which I feel are better on a docked setup on x86 not ARM for now so it all works out
the pocket knife in the thumbnail always concerns me what did these handhelds ever do to you ):
They all misbehave. SOMEBODY has to keep them in line! 🤕
I love you videos. But I really have to say that the knive makes me feel uncomfortable. I wish you would use something cosy instead.
Next week I’ll use a banana 😊

It’s funny, I have a retroid pocket 3+, and it’s such a pain in the ass to try to run stuff through android that I don’t use it.
How about a video about taking care of your emulators..." Wicked " !!!
Rog ally z1 was 250 at best buy
If shipping is so expensive to where you live why don't you consider becoming a local distributor for these type of devices?
I’m already too busy. I know some young guys who are looking into it.
I have always wanted a Retroid since the RP2 but the shipping cost is something that has always been a deterrent for me to get one (not to mention the extra taxes when arriving here in Mexico)
Yes they’re expensive to ship
Hi does the rg556 have a storefront to download games from like the older Retriod devices , I don’t have a pc and don’t like buying pre loaded sd cards they never have the games you want
No it doesn't
lol, you know why android games will not let you use a bluetooth controller? because you have to turn off the built in buttons in the anbernic software WHICH IT DOES NOT HAVE THE OPTION FOR while the Retroid Pocket 4 pro does since Retroid DOES refine the android experience for you unlike shitty anbernic android.... I have both devices and I DESPISE the RG556. Want to place the RP4 pro in your pocket and take a walk to the park? no problem, it fits while the anbernic does not... want to hook up your RP4 pro to a monitor and play some Rigid Force Redux for android? no problem, just go into the settings of the RP4 pro and turn off the built in buttons and use your bluetooth controller which the RG556 CAN NOT do... I am pretty sure there are more disastrous things I am missing about the RG556 but that;s all I can remember for now.
Cool Hugh... nice. lol However you are making me nervous having your trusty Crocodile Dundee blade next to your precious handhelds. PLLLEEEAAASSSEEE don't slip and hurt the screens. Oh yeah... or yourself. Handhelds first tho. (just kidding)
Haha… I’ve requested a nicer, sharper knife for Father’s Day.

@@adinwalls was it from the gogamegeek store? I can't seem to find it. It looks really good hahaha
Why kind of a psychopath uses a knife as a pointer? Liked the vid, thanks.
Me… me.
The only thing that RG556 better is the screen. Everything else RP 4 Pro wins by a mile.
Very agree and I have both units in my collection.
the pocket 4 pro is great. we dont neeed to keep going bigger and bigger. these arent meant to be big. if you want big get an ROG ally/ steam deck. I got a pocket 4 pro because carrying the ROG Ally is to cumbersome, it might as well be a laptop. The rg556 isn't pocketable with its ergonomics..... Also youre not playing mario wonder in a playable state, that is going incredibly slow.
Yeah, in fact I'd want then to go smaller. I'd really like a retroid pocket 4s (pro) like the dimensity 1100 or whatever from the rp4 pro but with a 4.5" 4:3 screen. (Kind of like the rp 2s just more power and a slightly bigger screen) I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
The Ally is ALOT more expensive. Also, I was very clear that Super Mario Wonder was purely theoretical to indicate that the performance bump isn’t as big as a lot of people say it is. And then lead into how emulators are the things that’s actually holding performance back.
I'm scenario 3 and I regret nothing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rgb30, Miyoo Miniplus, X55, Anbernic 353m, ROG Ally extreme, 35xx H, Retroid Pocket 2s and luckily an owner of the $100 Anbernic rg556. It plays a lot of Xbox gamepass games really well.
dude where are you from you have english-german accent, no?
Hehe South African 🇿🇦 Once you place the accent it’s pretty specific to us here.
For my Retroid POket 4 pro is better
556 all the way
Yeeha! :-)
I cant get behind this constant push from people for a larger retroid console, if you want something bigger get an ayn device. its called retroid pocket not retroid bag or backpack. not to mention its absolutely ridiculous to even suggest that they should limit the pro to a larger model. the argument that you get more for your dollar with a bigger system is arguably the opposite of true. also the shipping is not ridiculous, I have to assume you are fairly new to global shipping as 2 weeks for what is essentially 10-15 dollars is pretty average these days, at one point in time when making online orders it used to take 2-3+ months to get products ordered from china. also the end of the video comments to get the worse power spec device for people that dont own a more powerful device already just is mind boggling. the biggest apeal of the 556 would be the larger and nicer screen that the system cant really take that much advantage of natively but thats not to say it doesnt have good usecases, infact it is arguably a much better in home streaming device. if you have a desktop/playstation/xbox device that you can stream games from, it makes it a better option than the 4/pro, but based on performance differences alone if you are going to buy something for higher end emulation, it falls flat when you cant even take advantage of upscaling. to its full resolution like you get with the retroid which actually can push more games to run at its full 720p resolution.
Thanks.
There's no way it's better than the 4 pro. Playstation layout and plays almost everything. Just save up or wait a year and you'll find it for a closer price if you are that broke.
It’s not that simple man. Like I said in the video. The RP4pro is my personal fav but objectively the 556 is a better choice overall
The RpPro ergo and screen are absolute junk.
RP4 Pro is way too small imo. If retroid made a device the size of the 556 I'd be all over it.
Yup. That’s what I said in the video.
