So this can do PS2 emulation. I hope SotC is not one of the games it can't run well, I've had trouble with that one in the past

I have this and am sad to report that it's not a good pick for running Shadow of the Colossus Frown I've even tried the PAL version at 50Hz. It's not a complete slideshow, but there are enough dips below 100% speed to take you out of the experience when there's a lot of geometry on screen; especially in scenes where the draw distance is high.

It's good for a surprisingly wide array of other PS2 games when you can catch it at the $100-$115 price point; but the more challenging stuff like SotC, Dirge of Cerberus, Dragon Quest VIII, among other select titles I've tried require a bit more power.

The RG Slide and 476H have the same chipset with 4.7" screens.

I got the Slide during the last sale for $112 and I absolutely love the design. Things a beast for the price, only missing the analog triggers which the 406H has. I don't think any other handheld even comes close to the T820 performance for this price.

That said, if you're willing to add a telescopic controller and forego cooling (or add one), the $30 Straight Talk 2025 Moto G phone isn't too far off in performance, which is what I did (and returned the Slide).

This runs Android but there is a build of GammaOS for it that makes it a little better

great little device. I had one for a while and it's hard to beat for the price. It doesn't run EVERY PS2 and GameCube game as others have stated but you'll get a LOT of the catalog here. I recently sold mind and upgraded to a Retroid Pocket G2 but I have a soft spot for the 406H

SD staff - can we just post the retro catalog link for each of these? Best way to get ahead of the "will this support x console" chatter.

I think you'll probably be disappointed in the G cloud's performance of SotC.

The RG476H may be worth getting for a bit more over this RG406H. It's $20-$25 more, but has a larger 4.7" inch screen, higher resolution (1280x960), with 120Hz refresh rate. Other specs the same.
