How much is the thing? It look pretty neat
Running a sale, I paid like $175(?) and I do not regret.

Really curious to hear your review. I think you're gonna love it.

Enjoying OG GB on this form factor, gotta say. (Edit) And another thing (alcohol slurred) being able to play GBA with run ahead and shaders is so great. Blows my mind that you'd choose analogue pocket over some of these devices, given their versatility.

I was one of the day 1 orders for the RP5 since I skipped the 4. Wanted a new shell shape and screen coming from the 3. Between the glass front I hate, not liking any of the colors, and seemingly meh speaker quality, I was like 60:40 on the idea that I was just going to end up flipping it on eBay shortly after receiving and return to my Powkiddy X28. Day of delivery, that changed to 75:25 since I was super asshurt to find out it still didn't have enough juice to run Flycast with the Per-Pixel setting (main reason I ordered).

I'm happy to report that after a few more days of playing on it, I've decided to keep it after all. Still not quite as comfy as the X28 nor is the speaker quality as good, but it's a damn fine handheld overall. The black color is really boring, but I'll live just like I did with my black Deck and black X28.
