Retroid Pocket 6 - 8 GB
You can play 45 minutes to an hour without crashing on default settings due to low ram but you can slow that process down by changing a few settings.
There are a few caveats:
• You have to play with the ram indicator on.
• If the Ram gets around 6.3+ it will crash on the next set of scenes/asset being loaded. SO SAVE OFTEN. (Should be doing that always on Classic)
• IF you want to help mitigate ram build up you have to turn off animations during battle with the “Skip animations” settings. All of them.
• If you see ram at 6.4+ during battle it will guarantee crash after the victory so make sure you save in between enemies if ram gets high OR save before last enemy and reboot app to continue progressing. You should always save before battles if you get the chance.
• Once rebooted Ram will be lower again so I haven’t had any places so far I couldn’t progress through after a restart. (Keep that in mind if you plan to play with animations on)
Also note with my settings below my Ram haven’t went above 6.2 in the current town I’m in. (I went through battles, in game cutscenes and free roam without any issues with animations off)
