I was quite surprised with there being from a 2% to 11% performance difference depending on the benchmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that we did upgrade the 128GB SSD to a 1TB so we could install all of the games we used in the review, but this should not have a major effect on the in-game performance. So for us at least there is little difference in performance if you are planning to upgrade either the RAM or SSD once you get one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-games-testing\">Games Testing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steam-os-overview\">Steam OS Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of our Win 600 review we will cover both operating systems.

You have access to your Steam Library along with games that are known to work with Steam OS which is handy to have. Other games will likely also work, but there may be things like having to use a keyboard to enter text for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have picked a few games from my Steam library which are a mix of officially known working and unknown working games. Keeping in mind that the Win 600 Windows handheld processors are not as high specification as a ONEXPLAYER or <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/brand\/ayaneo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AYANEO<\/a>. We won&#8217;t be trying the very high end games on this, but there&#8217;s a nice mix of older games for Steam OS and after some newer for Windows. We are testing these games on the 3050e model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fallout-new-vegas\">Fallout New Vegas&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We start off with Fallout New Vegas which was suggested to try by Dankey Kid on Youtube. We are playing at 720P on Medium graphics settings and are getting between 30 to 60 frames per second, depending on how busy the scene is. Lock it to 30 and you will be fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bioshock-1-remastered\">Bioshock 1 Remastered<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Also suggested by Dankey Kid is Bioshock remastered. We are playing at 720P on the lowest graphics settings. Depending on how busy the scene is, we are getting between 30 to 60 FPS,&nbsp; you can limit the frames to 30 and play this game just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-borderlands-2\">Borderlands 2<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Borderlands-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Borderlands-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Borderlands 2\" class=\"wp-image-22782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Borderlands-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Borderlands-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Borderlands-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Borderlands-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Borderlands-2-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Borderlands-2-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Borderlands-2-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Borderlands-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Borderlands 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Next we have Borderlands 2 which was suggested by Retroresolve on Twitter. We are playing at 720Pon the lowest settings. We are getting around the 30 frames per second area which is not ideal, but the game is playable if you set the in game frame limiter to 22-62 FPS which smooths it out for the most part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-portal-2\">Portal 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Portal 2 is a popular game on Steam so we thought to check that out. We are playing at 720 on the lowest graphics settings and are getting around the 60 FPS area. You could leave it at that, or increase the graphics levels and limit the FPS to 30 if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sonic-racing-transformed\">Sonic Racing Transformed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We finish off our brief look at Steam OS with Sonic Racing Transformed at 720 on Normal Graphics quality. We are getting in the 30 frames per second area which is very playable on the Win 600 handheld PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-windows-operating-system\">Windows Operating System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Windows we will be trying a mix of older and newer games on the 3050e model. And after that we will be trying a number of emulators to see how it performs as a handheld console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hades\">Hades <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We start off with Hades which was suggested by Retroresolve on Twitter. We are running at 720P on the default low graphics settings and are getting a good 60 frames per second. You can tweak one or two settings to increase the graphics a little if you wanted to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-powerwash-simulator\">Powerwash Simulator<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Powerwash-Simulator.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Powerwash-Simulator-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Powerwash Simulator\" class=\"wp-image-22787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Powerwash-Simulator-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Powerwash-Simulator-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Powerwash-Simulator-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Powerwash-Simulator-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Powerwash-Simulator-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Powerwash-Simulator-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Powerwash-Simulator-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Powerwash-Simulator.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Powerwash Simulator<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Next we have Powerwash Simulator which was suggested by Phil Graham on Facebook. We are running at 720P on the low graphics settings and getting between late 30s to 60 FPS depending on what&#8217;s happening. You can lock this to 30 FPS and play the game fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lumines-remastered\">Lumines Remastered <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We are playing Lumines Remastered at 720P and pretty much have a solid 60 frames per second. We have no issues here with the game at all. Thanks to Robert Szpanderfer on Facebook for the game suggestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-art-of-rally\">Art of Rally <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Also suggested by Robert was Art of Rally. We are playing at 720p with all the settings on their lowest. We are getting around the 50 frames per second area which is not bad as this game is quite demanding despite its appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pac-man-museum\">PAC-MAN MUSEUM+<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And one more suggestion by Robert is PAC-MAN Museum+. We are running this at 720P at the default graphics settings and are getting a solid 60 frames per second. It&#8217;s a very basic game so you shouldnt have any issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xbox-cloud-streaming\">Xbox Cloud Streaming<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Xbox-Cloud.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Xbox-Cloud-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Win 600 Review - Xbox Cloud Games\" class=\"wp-image-22792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Xbox-Cloud-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Xbox-Cloud-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Xbox-Cloud-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Xbox-Cloud-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Xbox-Cloud-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Xbox-Cloud-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Xbox-Cloud-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Xbox-Cloud.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Win 600 Review &#8211; Xbox Cloud Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>We had a number of people suggest trying the Xbox Cloud service and we are happy to see it runs perfectly! We are playing Forza Horizon 5 and there&#8217;s no issues at all. The WiFi access point is around 10 metres away and there were no graphics artefacts or lag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-emulator-performance\">Emulator Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We finish our Win 600 review with a close look at some emulators to see how well the 3050e model performs. You will have no problems with 8 and 16bit era systems, so we will skip to the more recent or more demanding systems to see where the limit is on the Win 600 retro gaming console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dreamcast\">Dreamcast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We kick off with Sonic Adventure 2 running on FlyCast on RetroArch. We are getting a solid 60 FPS but I did notice on other games that it was running a little slow. This might be a retroarch issue so running the dedicated app will likely have better results than via RetroArch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-playstation\">PlayStation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We tried a bunch of PlayStation games on SwanStation via RetroArch and had no issues at all.

You can have it running dual or larger single screen and there were no issues at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-citra\">Citra<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Citra.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Citra-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Win 600 - Citra Emulator\" class=\"wp-image-22797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Citra-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Citra-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Citra-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Citra-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Citra-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Citra-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Citra-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Citra.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Win 600 &#8211; Citra Emulator<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The 3D dual screen emulator Citra does not run as great as its predecessor, with slower performance on most games we tried. With some tweaks you can improve the performance but I don&#8217;t think you will get to full speed on popular games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-psp\">PSP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As standard we are trying God of War on the PSP emulator PPSSPP. We are getting mostly 60 FPS with very minor dips every so often. If it can run this then you should not have issues with other games running on the Win 600 retro game console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-playstation-2\">PlayStation 2<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Gran-Turismo-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Gran-Turismo-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Gran Turismo 3\" class=\"wp-image-22803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Gran-Turismo-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Gran-Turismo-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Gran-Turismo-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Gran-Turismo-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Gran-Turismo-3-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Gran-Turismo-3-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Gran-Turismo-3-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Gran-Turismo-3.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gran Turismo 3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>We thought we would try the PlayStation 2 emulator PCSX2 with Gran Turismo and got fairly good results. There was some slowdown at the start of the race, but as it got less busy the frame rate rose up to 60 FPS. We got mixed success on other games but there are definitely playable ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-xbox-1\">Xbox 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And how well does the OG Xbox run? Well you can play the fairly basic MASHED at OK frame rates but don\u2019t expect many games to run as well. But it&#8217;s quite impressive that some games are playable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-the-win-600-right-for-you\">Is the Win 600 right for you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We do have to keep in mind that the Win 600 windows handheld is a far lower specification handheld than its competitors. It is also around half the price which is well worth making a note of. Because of this I came into doing this review with the expectations that it will play older games well enough, but anything that requires high performance hardware will not work great.&nbsp; And for the most part this is true, for example CyberPunk 2077 is barely playable. If you are expecting to play those kind of games, then the Win 600 is not for you.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Spelunky-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Spelunky-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Spelunky 2\" class=\"wp-image-22813\" style=\"width:768px;height:432px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Spelunky-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Spelunky-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Spelunky-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Spelunky-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Spelunky-2-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Spelunky-2-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Spelunky-2-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Spelunky-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spelunky 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>As I explored my Steam library, which is mainly older generation games as I use Xbox Game Pass now, I remembered many gaming gems that I played years ago. And with the Steam cloud saving it meant I could often continue playing where I left off. It was a nice trip down memory lane and a great opportunity to finish some of my many uncompleted games&nbsp; \ud83d\ude42&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would say that&#8217;s what the Win 600 market is aimed at, it\u2019s gamers with a library of older games. Or even those simply buying old games on Steam for a few pounds, especially during the Steam sales. There&#8217;s thousands of games to explore, or you could go down the Windows route and have access to GoG, Epic store etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We will sum up our <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product\/anbernic-win600\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Win 600<\/a> review now. For emulation the Win 600 by <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/brand\/anbernic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anbernic<\/a> is fairly good for a processor of this specification. It can handle all 8 and 16-bit systems very well. As you go up to more recent systems the performance does drop, the Dreamcast and PlayStation work great, then by PlayStation 2 we see less than perfect. It is a decent showing, but not far different from some Android handhelds which is something to think about.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Tekken-6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Tekken-6-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Tekken 6\" class=\"wp-image-22818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Tekken-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Tekken-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Tekken-6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Tekken-6-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Tekken-6-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Tekken-6-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Tekken-6-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Win-600-Tekken-6.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tekken 6<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you enjoy older games, or even newer generation ones that are not highly demanding, the Win 600 could be a good option for you. It&#8217;s around half the price of a higher performance device which is tempting. If however you want to have access to more recent games and emulators, then I would suggest the higher end AYA NEO, <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/brand\/gpd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GPD<\/a> or ONEXPLAYER handhelds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to buy the Anbernic Win 600?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn more and <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product\/anbernic-win600\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buy the Win 600 here<\/a>.
