The Retroid Pocket 5 is a strong 4:3 Android handheld for PS2 and GameCube emulation, with a bright screen and solid streaming performance through Moonlight. The setup process is fairly involved, but the initial wizard can install a long list of emulators, and the device feels solid once configured. Performance is good for many lighter PS2 and Wii games, though harder titles like Jak 2 and 3 or Sly Cooper can struggle, and Switch support is not a strength. Taxes and checkout promos also pushed some totals higher than expected, so the final price can land well above the headline deal.
Buyers comparing midrange handhelds, because it offers strong performance for the price and can be a better value than stepping up to pricier models.
Players focused on PS2 and GameCube emulation, because the handheld can upscale many games and run lighter titles smoothly.
People who want a dedicated streaming handheld, because Moonlight works great and the system feels better than pairing a phone with a clip-on controller.
Handheld gamers who want a 4:3 screen for older systems, because the display suits retro content and is easier to read on a larger panel.
People expecting every PS2 game to run at full speed, because harder titles like Jak 2/3 and Sly Cooper can drop to unplayable framerates.
Players who want reliable Switch emulation, because the hardware struggles with compatibility and many Switch games run poorly.
Gamers who want a plug-and-play setup, because the PS2 emulator must be installed manually and the initial software setup can be a pain.
Buyers who need widescreen-first gaming, because the 4:3 display is a poor fit for widescreen content and hacks are not universally compatible.

Even before adjusting settings nothing was ever at an "unplayable framerate".
Tbf if you upscale the MK games certain effects dont work right and a weird box surrounds the base of the fighters, so you either have to deal with that or run at native. But thats a glitch with upscaling, the framerate and everything else is perfect.

It includes a couple android pack in games I never touched, but for emulation games you are 100% on your own.

The PS2 emulator isnt on the list and has to be installed yourself, that was a pain. Every other emulator I have installed myself has been easy.

If they listed this as fees or whatever, it would be shady but legal. But they are branding this as sales tax and likely pocketing the difference which is illegal (it would make no sense to over-collect sales tax by such a significant amount if the seller plans to remit that entire amount to the state. It just makes their pricing less competitive.)
Some states allow you to file a form with the state to ask for a refund of excess sales tax paid, but that sounds like a huge pain and who knows the likelihood of actually getting a refund.
