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.
The RP5 can run PS2 and GameCube games with mostly native performance and workable results for easier titles.
The RP5 setup can automatically install several emulators during initial setup, which reduces early setup friction.
The RP5 can upscale GameCube and Wii content to 1080p with framerate performance described as flawless.
Moonlight streaming reportedly works great on the handheld.
PS2 performance can vary by game, and some titles reportedly fail to reach a playable framerate.
The PayPal $15 discount has reportedly failed to apply after checkout even when the promo appeared active in the cart.
Taxes and fees reportedly pushed the final total higher than expected, with one receipt showing a tax rate that felt inaccurate.
The PS2 emulator is not included in the preinstalled emulator list and must be installed manually, which can be a pain.

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.
