Whats your dream Retroid?
Honestly Retroid Pocket 5 with an aftermarket grip checks all the boxes for me. Small size Fantastic screen Nice-feeling controls Comes in fun colors (GameCube purple) Powerful enough to emulate up to GameCube / PS2 / Wii Relatively inexpensive at $219 (for what you get). I stream Steam PC games to

RP4 Pro Restock
From posts I've read on here: Better portability / pocketability over the Retroid Pocket 5 and Retroid Pocket 6. Realizing that PC / Switch / WiiU / etc games aren't that important to them or isn't as important as the portability to them actually using the device. People that have multiple devices i

$549 for Steam Deck OLED or $133 for PS Portal?
Tl;dr: Consider a Retroid Pocket 5. It may be a good balance between cost and potential for additional (light) capability. So, OP. Most people only talk about PC handhelds here because they're the hot thing. But if you mainly want to stream, like the cheaper price point, but might like additional Ca

Trying to run conkers bad fur day and it's super choppy?
I have a Retroid Pocket 5 and an Ayn Thor, both can handle GC and PS2 without any issues, even the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro can run GC+PS2 though the screen is a bit small. The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 is the same chipset as the RP5 so it's a good candidate too. I couldn't find a sub $150 handheld that wil

Is the Retroid Pocket 5 (8GB RAM) still worth it in 2026?
The RP5 is good the 6 is better. If u can't afford the 6 get the 5 The 5 has been YouTubed to death watch a few to see if its worth your time Or order it on Amazon. 250 with free shipping. Play with it for 29 days if you like it keep it or sent it back and order directly from retroid. If it's $200 o

Consolas de emulação chinesas
Tenho a Ayaneo Pocket Micro e a Retroid Pocket 5. São ambas muito boas, mas não posso deixar de enaltecer a RP5. É inacreditável a todos os níveis, autonomia, ecrã, conforto... E o preço, não sendo barata, parece -me justo para tudo o que oferece.

Hey I’m wondering what the cheapest device to stream from my pc is?
If youre using it only for streaming - retroid pocket 5 is great if you want a smaller device and can play up to GameCube & PS2 locally or go with a MANGMI AIR x if you want something cheaper (both are 5/5.5" devices). If you want something bigger and similarly priced as the RP5 - MANGMI Pocket Max

To an extent. Id take this over the r36S or TrimUI Bricks/ Hammers. The retroid pocket 5/6 is MUCH more expensive than a modded GBA if you go the DIY/ marketplace route, and I look at the RP 5/6 as more of a handheld Android PC than a console? Like the RP6 can do emulation and stream PC games. Id bu

Is a Switch Lite worth building out?
Hardmod is really cheap and a good way to learn soldering (a bit harder as a beginner project but worth the experience if you get through it). I would still suggest a used android handheld with an oled screen because you can do so much more with it than with a switch (a Retroid Pocket 5 can even pla

From my research there's the miyoo a30, anbernic rg300x, there's allso this: https://ayaneo.co/nl/product/ayaneo-pocket-s2/?attribute_pa_color=obsidiaanzwart&attribute_pa_configuration=8gb-lpddr5x-128gb-ufs-3-1 which is very pricy but I think it can run ps2 easily In all reality I would probably just lo
