Had Samsungs for 10 years watching them slowly get worse and worse. Switched to a Pixel last year and couldn't be happier.

I've been following the community for about 2 years now. Started with a Retroid Pocket 2+, then picked up a Miyoo Mini for something that was a little easier to take on the go, then added an Anbernic rg35xx. I still think the rp2+ (and now the recently released rp2s) is the perfect 1st device. Generally handles everything up through Dreamcast without issue, 4:3 screen, decent enough buttons, affordable.

If you want something a little cheaper or in a verticle format, the rg35xx or Miyoo Mini+ are both good devices as well. I've never used the Miyoo Mini+, but I personally prefer the rg35xx with Garlic os to my Miyoo Mini with onion os.

If GameCube or PS2 are important to you, just get a Deck.

Just curious what the selling point was for those of you that have one? Most of my gaming is retro stuff on my rp2+ or rg35xx and I just don't see the appeal the pocket has over the Retroid/Anbernic alternatives. Is the quality and ability to play actual carts that big of a selling point for the higher price and waiting?

Amplitube 3 and Bias fx both have readily available torrents. I was happy enough with old versions of Amplitube that I purchased Amplitube 5 and have been really happy with it. They have plenty of metal rigs, but I haven't personally used them as I mostly stick with the tweed and plexi stuff.

Neural DSP is another paid option but everything I've heard is that they're the cream of the crop for metal tones. They also offer a 14 day trial.

Sideload Firefox onto the shield and install ublock. You want the normal android version not the android TV one. Connect a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse and use the sites you'd use on your pc.

They offer a subscription for $5/month that includes access to all the dlc.

I use Reelgood. I think it lacks a little on the recommendation side, but I really like the tracking. It also shows me when shows I'm tracking are coming back for new seasons.
