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.

This is just wrong. So far Jak and Daxter trilogy and Sly 2 has ran just fine for me. In J&D case there were some graphical glitches (characters had laser eyes, etc) so settings had to be tweaked but I never had framerate issues. I was running it in high performance mode though.
Even before adjusting settings nothing was ever at an "unplayable framerate".
I was running in high performance mode, and tweaked settings, looked online and tried multiple different setting options and no, Jak 2/3 were running at 10 FPS and Sly copper was actually down to 8 FPS. I ran native setting, low settings too and nothing worked.
Made reddit posts and asked all sorts of help in the retroid page and no option made the game to a playable frame rate.

Agree. I'm just trying to decide if I should buy this or wait for the 6. Had a steam deck but just never used it but also don't want to pay for something that I'm unsure how often I'll use. I'd mainly wan to do ps2 and earlier on it.
I buy more systems than I touch. The SD was the one that stopped me from buying any more cheap ones.
the short answer is, save money by buying 1 really good one than always wanting another one. Go straight to the biggie.

yeah, I thought about keeping it but it's too big for me so wanted something smaller.
