It’s everything I loved about the RGB30 but so much better. Android 13, touch screen, comfy as heck, circle dpad?!?!, made by a company with a good reputation of making great handhelds. Here's another home run. This is what this hobby is all about. Big thanks to LITNXT for providing this unit for review and for supporting small content creators like myself.

    Hey guys, at 2:54, I misspoke and said 3.5" instead of 3.95". The screen is very close to 4 inches. Sorry about the confusion. Words are hard

    Man I'm getting old. Never thought I'd hear the day someone would call the Sega Game Gear an obscure system.
  • @GhostLinx
    Minecraft having squares and cubes everywhere fits the screen ratio

    This was a great review. It went very in-depth on the pros and cons of the Cube without being super long and it was nice to see a review from someone who's taken the time to really set up their device. There's a software tweak to remove the anbernic launcher from the RG button but I don't know if it would fix the annoying behavior where it's switching the default launcher around. I have my RG Cube setup with Gamma's thumbstick fix, ES-DE configured, and the RG button launches ES-DE. I don't use an aftermarket launcher so that hasn't been a problem for me. I do have a little bit of light bleed but nothing noticeable to the naked eye. It doesn't bother me in real world usage.

    Excellent video! This colorway looks fantastic, might be the best choice. Apparently Gamma has already fixed the sticks in software. Looking forward to any possible battery and performance boosts that Gamma may unlock down the line.

    FIY you can rebind the Anbernic launcher button. I've bound it to launch my preferred frontend, Beacon!
  • @SpacelandZoo
    I love everything but the digital sticks. Why??? There is always that one thing, and this device was almost perfect!!
  • @adasisok
    Great video! Looking for an Anbernic device to play DS and 3DS games. This could be it!
  • @STR82DVD
    Props to you for buying the same colourway as mine man! Great taste in handhelds young lad!!! This RG Cube is a fantastic addition to my collection.
  • @norezplaysgames
    Great video! I'll point out a correction. It's roughly a 4" (3.95") square screen, not 3.5". It's a small mistake, so no worries. The RG Cube looks good, but I have too many handhelds as it is.
  • @bensparrow88
    can I ask what emulator you are using to play DS games at the start of the video? I am using DraStic and everything works fine but I want to get rid of the on screen controls and make the top screen bigger than the bottom. any pointers/advice appreciated!
  • @eyeball226
    The NES and SNES are 4:3 systems. There's a difference between logical aspect ratio and display aspect ratio. They didn't have square pixels.
  • @kfour9
    Man, that d-pad looks SO comfy. I'm torn between the cozy aspect of this or the retroid pocket 4 pro
  • @CellPhish
    Great video. Also love the soundtrack
  • @zakknafein3216
    Can't wait for mine. Should be here in couple days, still lil worried bout screen bleed will see what happens. Got that same color.
  • @feahnorl
    Please please please, don’t use background music, it makes very difficult to understand you for people with hearing problems.
  • @jihlnabaat6329
    I am going to put out a video on how to get the anber button to be something else useful.
  • @STR82DVD
    This is its final form though and the fastest SOC with that you really need because of the one by one aspect ratio.
  • @Luis_Gamer21
    You’re using citra ? Or lime 3ds ? I noticed you don’t have the son screen buttons if so let me know. I want to know because I would like to upgrade from my rg405m to the rg cube.
