  • “I got a Retroid Pocket 5 for this very reason. I didn't know AYN was gonna release a Mini at the time 😅 I've had 3 or 4 Vitas that I set up HENkaku on though sold all but my 1k and 2k models The RP5 is my current go to, but the Vitas will always be special to me”

  • “I got a Retroid Pocket 5!!!! I've been spending all day setting it up just how I like it but I'm loving it so far 😊 I'm so excited to play some oldie goldie games!!!”

  • “I've also been tinkering with my Retroid Pocket 5 a bit and I feel like I got the shaders and such in a good place now. Soul Blazer (SNES) I'll probably drop, it's ok? But after finishing the first zone it hasn't really grabbed me yet.”
