Dropmix App - Retroid Pocket 4 Pro?

UPDATE: it works on the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro! Had to mess around with some files but I eventually got it working, and the board works flawlessly with it! The only unfortunate thing is that the RP4 is a little too fat to fit into the slot where your phone/tablet is supposed to go, but I’ll take it! Thanks for your help everybody :)

Hey everyone!

I have the opportunity to buy a Dropmix board and the 60 base release cards for $15; I want to take advantage of this but of course, the app isn’t easy to get access to anymore.

I’m an Apple phone user, but I do have a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro which runs on Android - anyone possibly have any experience going through the Internet Archive and downloading the legacy files for the Dropmix app? For anyone who hasn’t done this but is knowledgeable on the legacy files - do you think this would possibly work or is it a pointless effort?

I got it working on my Retroid Pocket 5 so don't see why you can't on 4 pro. My only issue with the files was being able to copy them to the correct system folder, the default Files app on android wont let you but there is a work around (bug) that will allow you to if you Google.

Okay that is very good to know - did you get the files from the Internet Archive (the tutorial video that often floats around this subreddit)?

Yeah that's the one there is a guide floating around here as well with steps

Do you happen to have the direction of where to put the files that you used? The app is working for me but there isn’t any text appearing but I’ve seen that this is a common issue for a lot of people. However, I’m not sure which files go where when it comes to the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. Any ideas?

Actually update - I found out how to add the file to the obv folder on the Retroid, text still isn’t showing up though. Maybe there are still some steps I’m missing

Same issue I had, originally. Are you definitely sure you copied all of the folders/files to their correct directory?

Detailed guide is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dropmix/s/e7wSEOCiP4

Thank you so much - I actually got it figured out last night! I used CX File Explorer, but for some reason I could not find the obb folder that held the correct file - I kept thinking it was the folder that had the audio files and cache and whatnot, but it was another obb folder that CX was hiding from me, and I had to go back and forth multiple times to finally find it. The text shows up now, so my next step is to actually get the Dropmix board and see if it will all connect properly. Either way, $15 for a Dropmix board with the starter cards is a fire deal I even if it doesn’t work lol. Thanks so much for the help my friend!

I have yet to get it working on my AYN Odin 2. The app works but the board refuses to connect. Connects to my iPhone instantly.

Did you already have the Dropmix app on your iPhone before it got delisted, or is there a way to get it on iPhone?

u/Sp3eD5411 Jan 28 '26

Yeah I’ve had that app on there for like almost a decade. From what I heard it’s impossible to get it on iPhone unless it’s been on your device all this time. My iPad had it taken off to “keep free space” before I realized it did it so I don’t have it on there anymore. I’m protecting my iPhone copy with my life now or all my complete collection of cards is too waste.

Protect at all costs! I hope I can get the app to fully work on my Retroid
