Questions
Can the RG 55G1 play GameCube and PS2?
Partly. Retro Game Corps found GameCube playable at native resolution and most PS2 games playable with some slowdown; Joey's Retro Handhelds saw heavier titles struggle. We rate both as some games.
Can it emulate Switch?
No. Retro Game Corps tried several custom drivers and still could not get even lightweight Switch games to full speed. We rate Switch as unplayable.
How does PS Vita run?
Retro Game Corps found most Vita games playable at native resolution, including Uncharted: Golden Abyss with some slowdown. We rate PS Vita as most games.
Is it good for game streaming?
Retro Game Corps measured about 7.5 ms decoding time and called it playable, though the low stick placement suits D-pad games better.
