Can the Anbernic RG406H Run GameCube?

Compiled & reviewed by Urs von Gunten, HandheldWiki editorial · How we rate ·

Yes, with minor compromises. The Anbernic RG406H handles GameCube well — most games run at full speed, and only the heaviest titles like Metroid Prime and F-Zero GX may need light frameskip or a small resolution drop. Lighter games such as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine are no trouble.

B+Yes — with minor compromisesOur GameCube rating for the Anbernic RG406H: grade B+ — Great — minor frameskip

Why GameCube is the test: full 6th-gen 3D — this is where modest handhelds start to fall over and you need a strong chip.
