I had this and it can play everything up to psp smoothly. But it struggles with some ps2 and 3ds games. For this price its pretty good though and the oled screen is pretty nice.

I picked up a tweak I didn't know about from the Metal Jesus Rocks YouTube channel (for PS2 emulation using AetherSX2 on Android devices, like the one posted above). He shows it at this part [youtu.be] in his video (for a visual aide).

You can access the same menu two different ways:
While you have a PS2 game running that's struggling - swipe from the left edge of the screen to the right to bring up the AetherSX in-game overlay menu.
Find the icon that looks like the letter i in a circle. Click that, go to "General Settings", then click on either "Set Fast Settings" or "Set Optimal Settings". See if either of those gets your game to a playable state. You can disable these under that same "General Settings" menu by clicking the entry labeled "Clear Settings" (that will restore it to the settings you had prior to enabling Fast or Optimal).
Or... While you're in the main AetherSX2 menu with the list of games, tap and hold down on the game you want to configure, until a small menu will pop up. Go to "Game Properties". You can then access the circled "i" menu and then go through the steps above. Worth a shot for some tougher to run games and you can customize the other settings in the emulator a bit further.

This is a steal - I paid $200 for this several months ago so I could play Ratchet & Clank (PS2) and Time Splitters 2 (GC). Ratchet & Clank sometimes has weird slowness at times, but if you hit start to enter a menu and then exit the menu, it goes back to normal. Works great for the games I've thrown at it. Currently playing DK64.

I'd recommend the rubber cover that goes around it (can buy from other vendors on AliExpress). It's much easier to hold and it's survived a couple of falls...probably because of the cover.

Does it come with any games? Should I download manually? Are the game downloads free? Looking to play super Mario, contra, road fighter, galaga, pacman at the minimum

Man, I'm really thinking about buying this for HDMI out and newer consoles even though I recently bought a trimui smart pro

Great price. Works with PS2 games/Silent Hill series using AetherSX2 separately than the built in OS. I didnt do the full strip down and instal crucial apps as advised by youtube videos online but works well OOB

Final price I'm getting after the code is $141.90 ($166.90 - $25).

Correction. I was able to get $129.22 after removing from the cart, adding again and applying the second code KATE25.

The problem with mine is that I had 100 items in my cart (I use my cart to bookmark items, I'm sure a lot of you all do too). After I deleted a bunch of stuff, I no longer had my issue.

Seems like a decent price, I actually got a black one for $100 on tiktok about 6 months ago, thought it was ok. The screen was nice and performance was good but it is huge and the sticks are tiny. Sold it on ebay in the end

Was debating between this and the Retroid Pocket 5, but this deal makes it about 40% cheaper than the P5 so grabbed this one.

4s has Lil more performance while pocket 5 is way better then this. I'm sticking with an old cellphone and emulationstation for android until ps2 emulation is on point at this price

Finally was able to process my order without any errors. The total for me $140.69, but that was cheaper than it was directly at Anbernic's website. So this has been the cheapest that I've seen this item for. Can't wait to get it.
