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.
Common Questions (5)
The $30 code drops the price first, and the PayPal promotion can take another $15 off, but taxes and fees can push the total much higher. Reported final totals ranged from about $155 before tax to around $185-$187 after tax, depending on the checkout calculation.
It handles many PS2 games well, but performance depends on the title. Easier games can run smoothly and often upscale to 2x-4x, while heavier games like Jak 2/3 and Sly Cooper may stay near native resolution or drop to unplayable framerates.
At this price, it is roughly $90-$100 cheaper than the RP6 after shipping and tax, which makes it the better value for many buyers. The RP6 has more power and is the better choice for Switch and higher-end emulation, but the RP5 is still seen as strong value for PS2/GameCube and general handheld use.
Yes, it is widely used for GameCube and Wii emulation, and many games can run at 1080p with good performance. Some titles still need native resolution or may show graphical glitches when upscaled, especially certain Mortal Kombat effects.
The initial setup offers to install a long list of emulators and apps, including multiple RetroArch, Mupen64, and Dolphin versions. The PS2 emulator is not included in that list and has to be installed manually.

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.
