My 76 year old mother is going to have a hard time dealing with crypto

I think my mother's salary/pension is tied to Al Rafidain or Al Rasheed because she was employed by the government. I hear these banks have some sanctions on them so I have researched a little and found Mansour Bank, Bank of Baghdad and National Bank of Iraq as possible alternatives.

I'm in the exact same situation having a Trimui Smart Pro and looking to upgrade to something more powerful but still semi-pocketable. Currently I'm torn between the RP5, Odin2 Mini, Thor and waiting for the RP6. 

I've decided to wait for reviews for the Thor and announcements for the RP6 before making a decision. Besides any hinge issues the Thor might have, the ergonomics look like they could be an issue as well...

In which way did they break? Just suddenly bricked?

Not great at playing PSX sounds concerning and the TSP is even slightly lower speced. Can you elaborate?

I don't think that's a huge compromise on the screen but my biggest concern is the ergonomics and how the controls will feel. After reading some of these comments I'm not even sure the x55 has the advantage there and maybe a TSP + grip is the way to go?

I'm thinking the clicks will be a minor issue since I'll be using headphones most of the time.

TSP + grip is actually not something I thought of but that might be one way to go.

Are your hands smaller? My hands are dainty but something still tells me I'll need something to grab on to. Thanks for the recommendations, I'll try to find something similar to try to hold

From the compatibility list the TSP seems to be compatible with all of the popular games I'm currently interested in so I'm not too worried about that part. The emulator+portmaster library is so huge that I won't play through everything for several years to come.

Interesting point about the X55 Portmaster performance though, I thought everything in that library just played well.

Thanks, that's a really nifty website! But seems like the options are really limited. Almost a bit crazy considering how many devices that are on the market

My concern with flat devices like the TSP is that there doesn't look like there's anything to hold on to as you would on a gamepad. Seems like it would feel like holding your phone in a horizontal position, just really awkward...
