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.
The RP5 can run PS2 and GameCube emulation with upscaling options to 2x through 4x.
The initial setup can automatically install multiple emulators, which reduces the most complicated setup steps.
The PayPal discount and $30 code can apply during checkout, lowering the pre-tax total.
Moonlight streaming reportedly works great on this handheld for remote play use cases.
PS2 performance can vary by title, and some games may not reach a playable framerate.
Taxes and fees can push the final total higher than expected, even when the discounts apply.
The PayPal $15 promotion can disappear overnight, making the deal less predictable.
The PS2 emulator may not be included in the preinstalled software list and can require manual installation.

Killer deal.
I used S25 ultra for emulation but having dedicated handheld is way better imo. Decent controller will cost you $70-80 so why not spend little more for dedicated handheld?
Purchased yesterday and it's already shipped. Shipped from Los Angeles CA.

Also, it is not Ayn's fault they have been hyped up to this walk on water level in the handheld world that they cannot keep up. Nor can they hardly quadruple their company size for 6 months to satisfy production (especially when things like ram and memory are so hard to come by) just to accommodate short term boom.
That being said, they could streamline their communications, order processing, updating lead times, etc. Those changes could be implemented by temp staff and SOP changes without completely rescaling their production footprint.
P.S. Yesterday was the last day of Chinese New Year so hopefully you'll get an update soon.
