Good review. Have you tested out Drastic as opposed to the Desmume port (included in RetroArch)? In my experience, it runs most things I've thrown at it fullspeed on my Galaxy S2 sgh-989 (a good bit less powerful than the g5a). It should be noted that Drastic does cost money,  but it is indeed highly functional. I'm wondering if the screen is accurate enough to allow for solid performance in games that use the touch screen (assuming a stylus is used).
Ordered one of those fancy GPD G58 devices. Review soon.

Cool review, good that the G5A is getting more press as it's a great device. Would be handy for you to mention Skelton's firmwares and Tincore mapper in the review too, they make the console even better.

That was a good review and I might consider one of these. Can you make more reviews like this? I'll reblog them for you. Maybe one for the G7 or G58...
