I wish people would stop saying the RG DS Plus is $50 cheaper. To use it, you really need to buy 2 SD cards, one to replace the crappy OS card and one for Roms. And SD cards aren't cheap right now. The Retroid has built in storage. This makes the pricing about the same it not making the RG DS Plus more expensive. However, I'm glad I got the RG DS Plus since it really feels like an actual DS. I just wish it had better battery life and the new expandable stylus going in the RG DDS.
People keep raving about the price being under $100. Keep in mind there is no on-board storage. You will most likely be buying 2 SD cards, one for whatever OS you use and one for ROMs. The price difference between this device and the Retroid Pocket Duo Light is basically zero due to having to buy cards. I still chose the RG DS Plus because I have a Thor for 3DS and this thing just feels like a DS.
Woven fiber tip stylus is the to go. Not the Switch one, though. There are much cheaper ones on Amazon etc. My favorite ones have a large tip on one end and a small one on the other. The small tip is great for precision. Rubber tips pick up the oils from your fingers on the touch screen and eventually don't work well.
It's not just for DS/3DS. It's basically a clamshell Odin 2, also. PS2, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Switch, Android games, Winlator, steaming etc. second screen can also be used for videos, faqs, etc for the game you're playing.
Jumpman Junior was my favorite C64 game. Yeah, graphics are very primitive, but I loved it. Each level was a trial and error puzzle until you learned the pattern for each. Jumpman was even better since it had a lot more levels.

Re: Review: Retroid Pocket Duo Lite - a Nintendo DS Clone That Doesn't Play DS Games Very Well
@Handy_Man All of my DSs have screen yellowing making them very unpleasant to play with. My 3DSs are all still great though.
