PSA: Retroid has a case that fits all these handhelds with the grip case. It's the Dual Screen case.

You can also just get the anbernic rg556/557 case off amazon for like $10. Fits exactly the same .

Gamemt E5 Ultra

Well; it runs a Unisoc T620 if that helps. Which is decent - should handle everything up to PSP and some GC/PS2, or that’s about what it seems to me. Not quite as good as the T820 (RG476h, RG556) but probably close? Comes with 6GB of RAM and a 128GB internal drive which is solid. But man, those ergo

Handheld recommendations?

Anbernic RG556. Works perfectly for streaming xbox game pass, using Better XCloud. Can also emulate retro games up to PS2 if thats of interest. It has an AMOLED screen, so nice and crisp.

Recommendations for a gift

PS2 basically requires that you either get an Android device, or something like the the Retroid Pocket 5 and install Rocknix for your bro. I will say that I set up an Anbernic RG556 for my daughter (12) for Christmas and she loves it. The one step that made it go from feeling like a phone to feeling

Killer Bean is a fun game but short.

Nice! That gives me a bit more confidence. I tried opening my Anbernic RG556 in a similar manner near the triggers, and the shell got kinda dinged up from prying with the guitar pick 😅. Functionally, it's no problem, but god damn it bothers my soul!

First Retro Handheld Suggestions $100 to $200

Whatever you are going to do, be reasonably quick as ram prices will keep these things going up. Retroid 6 is peak. Thor (base on) is peak. Anbernic have nice lower priced pieces BUT ask yourself if you like this hobby and will spend more going forwards... knock up to 250 and get something really ni

Part of my childhood

In my 9-year old mind in 1996, you were a straight-up baller if you were a Nomad owner playing Genesis on the go. I salivated over ads on it from Toys ‘R Us. The fuck with the battery life, you had a whole-ass game console in an ergonomic, handheld form. I own an Anbernic RG556 that is a bajillion t

Console or game advice for a 30+ gamer

You might like the Anbernic RG556,($170), or RG557,($270). I have the 556. It’ll play SOME PS2& Wii games,.. but plays EVERYTHING, from PSX/ GameCube, down to SNES& Sega Genesis. Old arcade board& systems can run as well. I think the 557, irons out the capabilities for the handling PS2& GC. It might
