If you feel like giving it a shot, along with emulation, you can also look into streaming games using Microsoft’s X Cloud and playing games on Gamepass, although some games may pose issues regarding wonky button mappings. Your mileage may vary a bit there.
Magisk/root included. Ignore any warning about additional setup required, this is a false flag. Magisk is working fine.The RG405M is capable of emulating a few of the lightweight Nintendo Switch games (think Indie 2D pixelart titles) but this device is definitely not powerful enough to do much more than that. Even when it comes to these lightweight games, it will be very hit or miss which titles will actually even boot or run in game at all so there will be a lot of trial and error to figure out which games will work. v1.1 Lite) Initial release for GammaOS Lite, super debloated build with no GSF. Extra tweaks made for additional performance, using Retroid GPU drivers.

This could be considered as a downgrade and I would myself prefer an OLED display. However, the RG405M’s 4:3 aspect ratio makes it appropriate for a wider range of systems while still offering decent screen real-estate for the systems it emulates. When setting up AetherSX2 for the first time, you’ll need to have a copy of the PS2 Bios file. I suggest looking for SCPH-90001 in the internet archive.
The Anbernic RG405M has a sleek and modern design and it’s one of the best handheld emulators available. The device’s rounded corners mimic the GBA aesthetically. Its casing is metallic, feels premium quality, and won’t scratch or scuff easily because of this.

Fixes compatibility with games such as COD, Diablo and Geforce Now. The RG405M now has a 4” IPS touchscreen display, a slight increase from the RG353M 3.5” screen. The resolution of 640 x 480 stays the same though. The 4:3 ratio on a 4” screen is perfect when playing your retro games. The RG405M is easily capable of emulating Sega Saturn games. No special tweaks or settings are necessary to run any Sega Saturn games. The RG405M is capable of emulating some PS2 games but don’t expect to be able to emulate everything. You’ll really need to test and tinker with the settings on an individual game level to get the most out of PS2 emulation on the RG405M. To make emulation a tiny bit easier, I recommend that you use PAL (European) versions of games as they only need to emulate up to 50fps at full speed.The RG405M is easily capable of emulating Nintendo DS games. As an android device with a touch screen, it can also emulate the touch screen of the original DS. No special settings or tinkering is really required to play any Nintendo DS game on the RG405M.

Its display isn’t exactly top-of-the-line, but at its price point, it definitely gets the job done. Screen-wise, you’ll still be fine emulating games from consoles like the PS2 without having issues seeing what’s happening in the game, but it’s still small enough to feel like a handheld.
