The Retroid Pocket 5 stands out as a strong value handheld for PS2 and GameCube emulation, with a 4:3 screen that suits older games and a setup flow that can auto install many emulators. Moonlight streaming also works well, and lighter Switch or PC titles can run too. The main caveat is that tougher PS2 games, some Wii titles, and Switch compatibility can be hit or miss, with several games needing custom settings or staying at native resolution. It feels like a solid midrange pick if you want a dedicated retro handheld without moving up to the pricier newer models.
buyers who are specifically chasing the low "deal" price with PayPal/codes because multiple commenters report totals around ~$155-$166 after discounts/cashback and say there isn't anything else near that price that performs better.
PS2 and GameCube emulation fans who want a dedicated 4:3 vertical handheld because commenters say it's "extremely well reviewed for everything up to PS2 / Gamecube emulation" and that GC/Wii upscaling to 1080p can run flawlessly (with only some upscaling glitches, not framerate issues).
people who are okay doing some manual emulator setup because commenters say the initial setup can auto-install some emulators, but the PS2 emulator isn't included and "has to be installed yourself," which is a pain but manageable if you're willing to tinker.
retro handheld shoppers who mainly want to emulate up to PS2 (and not focus on Switch) because commenters note the power/compatibility differences matter most if you're emulating Switch, and they describe the RP5 as solid for PS2/GameCube while Switch is the weak spot.
people who want to stream from a PC/phone using Moonlight because a commenter says "Moonlight works great" on this handheld.
buyers who are counting on the PayPal $15 promotion working at checkout because commenters report the PayPal promo "didn't apply" for them and others say the $15 offer "disappeared overnight" / the promotion piece is dead.
Switch emulation-focused buyers because commenters say it's "not a great fit for Switch due to hardware compatibility," and that the RP5 "will struggle with many switch games" compared with newer models like RP6/G2.
buyers who expect PS2 to be consistently playable across all titles without tweaking because commenters report PS2 performance is game-dependent-some games run well, but others like Jak Daxter 2/3 and Sly Cooper "does not run at a playable framerate."
people who want a plug-and-play experience for PS2 emulation because commenters say the PS2 emulator "isn't on the list and has to be installed yourself," which they call out as a pain during setup.
buyers who are only interested if the price stays at the sale level because one commenter says the deal is "dead" and that the price increased back to $210.

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.
