For players who like a slide-out form factor: the 4.7-inch 4:3 120 Hz screen slides up to reveal full-size Anbernic controls.
Retro Game Corps found it bulky and top-heavy for its class at 379 g, so check the size before buying.
We rate PS1, N64, Dreamcast and Saturn as full speed; GameCube and PS2 as some games.
Retro Game Corps measured about 11 hours of SNES play and just under 5 hours of PS2 at 50% brightness.

Questions
Can the RG Slide run PS2 games?
Only some. Retro Game Corps needed native resolution, PAL versions and sometimes underclocking, and games like God of War II still ran below full speed. We rate PS2 as some games.
How does GameCube run?
Retro Game Corps ran most GameCube games at 2x resolution, with heavier titles like F-Zero GX needing native resolution. Android Authority found it far from ideal, so we keep the lower rating of some games.
Does the RG Slide have video out?
Yes, over USB-C DisplayPort. Retro Game Corps could not find a dock that charges it during video out, and 16:9 output needs desktop mode in the projection settings.
What does the 120 Hz screen add?
Retro Game Corps used it for black frame insertion and lower input latency, but noted BFI needs around 90% brightness to look right.
