Make the MOST Out of Your RG Cube: Zu's Tweaks and Aspect Ratio Guide

Published 2024-07-02
👉Our buddies over at ‪@ANBERNIC‬ sent over the RG Cube for Zu and Gary to review - actually they sent over two. The first one was beau-tee-full but had the worst light bleed ever. Join our intrepid duo as they talk about the light bleed in addition to explaining the best aspect ratios and shaders to use to get the most out of this surprising 1:1 handheld!

Go use the toilet now, because this is one of those 30 minute videos, so you're going to be here a while.

    We never got a RG405p, why not just give us a 4:3 RG406p? Dave Bautista Voice: “Just give me what I want!”

    Thanks a bunch! There are a few things I was having trouble with, and this answers most of my questions! 💚
  • @strongbad79
    I ordered mine within the first minute of it going on sale. It took them almost 2 weeks to actually ship it. Finally got it a few days ago. Luckily the famicom one that I got has zero light bleed. I would have loved to have gotten it sooner but I'm glad that they waited and sent me a good one .

    The Honda Civic in the video store parking lot analogy was dead on
  • @chocho2188
    Great review zu! Very in depth. Much appreciated
  • @JB-tp6uj
    You have no idea how depressed I got when you reminded me of the 90s Pizza Hut dining experience. Great times, but man, getting old sucks.
  • Can we confirm which systems should be 1:1 and which should be 4:3? GB, GBC should be 1:1 and NES, Genesis, SNES should be 8:7? GBA 3:2. Gamecube, Wii, and PS2 force 4:3?
  • @X862go
    Perfect 👌 timing got mine yesterday. I just gotta find the time to open it 😅
  • @decline.enjoyer
    Anbernic sent me a 2nd screen and it didn't have a thermal pad on its back. Nor did it have any adhesive around the displays edge so it wouldn't even stay seated in the front enclosure. Not to mention that once I opened it up I saw that they applied the thermal paste to the various chips SO poorly. It's really just a mess. I don't think Anbernic is going to fully resolve this.
  • @donmahoney8023
    Love the review and it convinces me between rg405m and the rg cube.
  • @n8ofsp8ds
    I got the famicom one. It goes really good when you make the LEDs orange I got PSP to full screen works fine not sure what all the hubbub's about
  • @EightPieceBox
    I want you to film yourself breaking this! I already have a Cube. Mine has a little light bleed at the top, nothing like the review unit. I love the design. I'd recommend the RGB30 over this for anyone who doesn't have one and wants a 1:1 screen. I wish this could dual boot to linux.
  • @frankdavi1614
    I want one just to finally get my 3ds library on it. Can’t get them to run smooth on my Odin.
  • @8bit_8ball
    Great review as always ZU! I want a video about your favorite retro games! Also which handheld you prefer to play your favorites on!
  • I say break it and show us the process of fixing the screen on the pink one haha
  • @ragecandy
    Saw someone use widescreen hack to fill the screen on gamecube, looked awesome
