About PS2 and GC emulation on T820 Anbernic devices (RG406H, RG476H, RG Cube...)

I've been told these devices are not the best for PS2 and GC emulation, but they're certainly not the worst either. It seems they do a decent job at emulating GC, while the PS2 performance is much more hit-and-miss. There are games whose emulation is even rated as "perfect,” according to this sheet here: Anbernic T820 RG556 Game Compatibility- T820

That sounds great to me, as I’ve just purchased the RG476H. Still, I’d like to know just how well these T820 devices actually handle PS2 and GameCube games, especially from long-time users who’ve beaten a few titles or have at least spent plenty of hours playing. I don’t mind playing at the native resolution, but I am certainly not too fond of stuttering or audio crackling.

Lets take the PAL version of Metroid Prime (which runs at 50 fps, so is less demanding) as an example: Can I start and finish this game without worrying about frame drops or distracting graphical glitches?

Anbernic is a hit & miss brand. Although T820 is enough for emulating those platforms, you will have to play 1x resolution on a few titles to experience full speed.

If I were you, I would had wait for the XU Retro XU40 H55, which is going to be the new gold standard if they can keep the price around 120e. Dimensity 7050 can emulate PS2 without issues, as it packs 2x A78 cores with higher frequency + GPU 200% faster.
