Questions

How does PS2 run on the RG 406H?

Some games. Retro Game Corps recommends native resolution and High mode, and saw slowdown in games like Ratchet & Clank. We rate PS2 as some games.

Can it play 3DS?

Most games, at 2x or 3x according to Retro Game Corps, though the single 4:3 screen works better for games played mostly on one screen.

Does it have video out?

Yes, over USB-C, but Retro Game Corps found it cannot charge at the same time and saw brief periodic stutters on an external display.

Is it different from the RG 406V?

It has the same chip and screen in a horizontal shell with analog triggers instead of digital ones.
