Haven't dabbled in these in a while. Is there Switch or Switch 2 emulation possibility? i.e. poor man's Nintendo Switch? Thanks.

We are years and years away from a soft exploit for a Switch 2

I followed this to set up mind. I think one of my emulators is broken (my fault) but the rest all work.
My issue is that ever since spending the day setting it up, I've used it twice in the last 2 months lol.
That makes two of us hehe.

Oh wow, last year's handheld is selling a bit cheaper than the launch price of the handhelds meant to replace it!

Ok, sorry for the sarcasm... frankly, it's a powerful handheld that can do a lot, and with everything skyrocketing in price, this is fairly affordable for everything it can do, and it's just as capable as when it was launched. I don't know if Retroid is clearing these out or if they have a cheaper supply of these chips than the RP6, but hey, hope that people who missed out on these the first year they were released enjoy the second chance at a bit lower price.

Quote from milkmandan :
holy what a steal. thank god i was still awake. RP5 is still $199 on official Retroid site. $249 on Amazon. if you buy more than one you can stack with the limited coupons and get even MORE off. USSS35 / USSS70 / USSS90 all work if you meet the orders over $X amount. Maybe they are trying to clear stock as RP6 continues to struggle to ramp production. But honestly with all the hardware constraints, these little retro android devices are showing extreme value in the handheld market.

RP6 is still on mega backorder and most RP6 orders are taking solid 4-5 weeks just to even ship out. Total order to ship to door time is like 6-7+ weeks.
As far as power, the RP5's 865 performs decently well for everything PS2 and below and can handle very very light Switch and PC gaming. I have the Flip 2 (same 865) I use as my EDC, and i have no problems with most games. Even Android games.

When i wanna play beefier games, I dig out my Ayn Thor or Pocket DS.
Let us just hope Coopreme is a solid seller doesn't ship a bunch of duds.

These RP5s will make excellent gifts. Insane find, thanks OP!

Considering this is FREE shipping, and its at such a discounted price and the fact you can stack even more coupons on top of the deal is insane.

I duno why but GC/Purple color was $120 for me and black is the noted $139.

As of posting GC/Purple color is completely sold out. Only black left.

Switch 1 is easy to emulate, this might not have the power to emulate all Switch games though.
