So I've had a Retroid Pocket Flip 2 for a couple of weeks and while I currently have a 512 GB microSD card I'm considering getting a 1 TB before prices spike even higher, because I want to test out more PC games natively which take up a lot more space.

I have multiple SD card readers and good type C cables that reliably transfer files so I feel like I should be able to hook up my Flip 2 and a new SD card to my computer at once and transfer all the files over, but is there anything I should know or do before hand?

When I set my Flip 2 up I put all my BIOS and emulators on the internal storage with this in mind. Before my Flip 2 came I pre-installed a bunch of games onto my 512 SD card, but it corrupted soon after inserting it so I had to reformat it and re add the games again, so I'm a little scared of that happening again after transferring everything over. Any tips or advice is appreciated!

Sidenote, I'd be going from an A2 170 MB/s write speed to an A1 150 MB/s, are the speed differences gonna be noticeable?

Noticed my monitor I've had for years got a glitched row of pixels, and has been pretty finicky with HDMI cables for months now. I feel like it might not be a bad move to get a new monitor soon, especially one with a smaller base or is mountable that works better on my current desk setup. I just use my monitor for everything, like gaming and watching movies, and I know a dedicated gaming monitor may not be as good for those other things, and I may have to get proper speakers alongside it. I also have my same 1080p laptop, so upgrading to something that's 2K or 4K isn't gonna play nice with it.

Since it's been so long since I've looked for monitors, I am pretty out of touch with what's good currently. However, I saw that specific AOC recommended in an article, and the price is right around $100. Is AOC actually good? Or is it that cheap for a reason and I should look elsewhere?

I've had my Vita for a few years but I'm just now really getting into game streaming, and I've been having some interesting hurdles. Some games work perfectly, some games work to a certain point, and others don't work as soon as the game launches. How do ya'll specifically get 3D games to work well?

2D games consistently work. The Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection works perfectly, as does Streets of Rage 4. Fire Pro Wrestling World also works but looks significantly more pixelated.

3D games are where I consistently have issues. Kingdom Hearts 2.5 is the only 3D game I've played so far that works perfectly (probably due to it just being a HD remaster of a PS2 game). Games like Virtua Fighter 5 REVO and Sleeping Dogs, the display freezes from the jump in menus. King of Fighters XV, the main menu works until I get to the character select screen. WWE 2K25 weirdly worked flawlessly through all the menus and even the character entrances, but froze the instant a match started. However, the Vita controls all the games perfectly. Looking at my monitor it had the responsiveness of a standard controller, it just didn't stream the game's visuals at all or would change frames every 10 seconds.

I have fiber internet and have my computer hooked up with an ethernet cable. What settings do I need to tweak to help this? Is my computer just not strong enough for it?
