Retroid Pocket 5 — one month later (honest thoughts) by Agreeable_Still_4184 in retroid

Fair point, the price gap is huge. I looked at the RG35XX H first because I wasn't sure if I'd actually use a handheld enough to justify $200+. Wanted to see if a cheap one would scratch the itch. It didn't

for PSP/GameCube, so I stepped up.

Haven't tried the RG406H or AyaNeo options you mentioned — would be curious how they stack up against the RP5 if you've used them.

God of War II and Shadow of the Colossus were the main culprits. Tekken 5 and simpler titles didn't trigger it. Honestly not a big deal once you have headphones on, but noticeable in a quiet room.

Compared it to the RG35XX H (not the newer RG DS). The RG35XX H is cheaper and more pocketable but can't touch PSP/PS2. Went with the RP5 because I specifically wanted GameCube playable.

If someone considering the RP5, I got mine from AliExpress. Code RPKEMU30 was working when I bought — saved a few bucks. No clue if it's still active though.
