What I’m after

• Budget: roughly $150-$200 (so Steam Deck / ROG Ally are off the table)
• Use-case: up through PS2/GameCube, plus native Android titles
• Must-haves: good AMOLED or IPS screen, hall-sensor sticks, decent battery life, comfortable d-pad

Questions for you lovely people

1. Anything else sub-$250 that’s been announced but not shipped yet? I’ve seen whispered mentions of the OneXSugar Sugar 1 and Ayaneo Pocket S2, but details are hazy.
2. If you already own an RP5, what bugs you after a few months? Thermals, stick drift, ergonomics?
3. For those who grabbed an RG556 or pre-ordered the Flip 2, was the wait worth it versus grabbing an RP5 day-one?
4. Anyone running custom ROMs on these? How’s community firmware support these days?
5. Real-world battery life numbers (especially for PS2 emulation) would help me a ton.
