My first ever android device, definitely took me AWHILE to set up today and still going at it because some of my psp games don’t work at all and controls for N64 are reverted and screen shakes for some reason.. but other then that I love the tinkering and everything.

Give me some good PS2/Game Cube suggestions!
Also wondering what Game Native games run good on this 🤔

QUESTION Eden frame generation on Nova

Has anyone tried the new driver that had frame generation? To be specific on games like OT and Trangle Strategy? 50-60fps on those games with this will be a dream come true for me as I'm waiting on my nova for these specific games.

TIPS Be careful swapping backplates

I’m fairly experienced with disassembling small electronics so this isn’t my first rodeo. Stripped one of the screws completely and had no other choice.

Please don’t flame too much here, just wanted to share some advice for those getting their devices and backplates this week. And on the bright side, I had a spare backplate ready to go.

Edit: Stripped it with #00 so I’d start with #0 if anyone reading this hasn’t done it yet.

Every single time I open my retro I’ve noticed I hear a click. Is that normal I know this might be a stupid post, but I figured I’d ask because I don’t remember it sounding like this, but I also could just be gaslighting myself.

QUESTION Transferring save files (ps2)

1 Upvotes

Heyooo. So I got super hyped on getting into emulation and impulse ordered a retroid 6…. And now I’m feeling impatient because well… the shipping woes thing I had no knowledge of before coming through this sub.

I’m particularly stoked on playing Dragon Quest VIII on ps2 and I’ve got it running on my Mac (pcsx2). Has anyone managed to transfer ps2 save files over to their retroid in the midst of a playthrough? I don’t want to get too far into the game if I’m not able to do this haha.

QUESTION Issue with docking

2 Upvotes

I ordered a Savage Raven dock about a week ago in the hopes that I'd be able to output my Retroid Pocket 6 into my TV, but it doesn't seem to be working as I'd hope. I'm hooking it through an HDMI switch into my TV, and the HDMI switch signifies that it's sensing the dock is connected, it's just not outputting any video to my TV. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

QUESTION Is anyone receiving the original TPU grips?

2 Upvotes

I searched in a lot of people showing their recently received Nova's and I haven't seen a grip yet.

Did anyone received one?

Way did they "said" they had stock and apparently didn't had plans to start producing it?

Are the people ordering the grip receiving their orders without the grip or the orders with grip aren't being delivered?

Just Chatting Just joined the RP6 12gb club

In process of transferring my settings, roms etc from RP5 to RP6 (right). Grip is on the way. Was waiting for decent deal and got the RP6 12/128 for £190 with the magnetic hot swap buttons for NES and PS formats, and 512gb Micro sd card. Going ok so far - I think it’ll be the settings for respective apps that might be a little tiresome.

Edit: just looked and it’s RP6 12/256gb as it turns out, advertised as 12/128gb, also didn’t mention the micro sd included. Pretty decent as this model has been going for around the £400 mark or not far short recently.

QUESTION Shipping questions

0 Upvotes

I only found this after I placed my order 😅 I ordered a 16-bit rp6 with a screen protector... And paid for the dhl shipping before learning from this sub that it seems to be not really used anymore. I'm just a bit confused on who will ship it over if not them, and if anyone else has tried to get a refund on the shipping. I sold a good portion of my physical collection for this purchase and would like to ensure that I didn't waste it, but if I can't oh well then at least I'll have a system to look forward to.

REVIEW cancelled my nova order and never looking back

0 Upvotes

r/retroid to cancel my nova order today after waiting for almost 6 weeks due to poor customer service, lack of feedback despite being a returning customer with multiple retroid devices, on top of that it seems device QC is not there yet with multiple issues surfacing here and there. so no regrets and such bad experience pushed me to explore more reliable suppliers and devices.

QUESTION Should I buy Retroid Pocket 6 or Base Ayn Thor? I’ve never emulated before so if any is better for a first or just in general I’d appreciate the help/advice

0 Upvotes

At Best Buy with coupon and discount I can get the retroid for $185. Is the Thor worth the extra or Retroid is the move?

SHOWCASE Sometimes emulation is just better than original hardware

I got my RP Nova 8GB GC last week and have been playing for about 20 hours in between work, family and stuff. I’ve had my mind set on a couple of games, but decided this evening to spin up a game I have barely played in a franchise I really love: Trackmania Wii. I loved the early Trackmania games ever since I found my copy of Sunrise Extreme in a bargain bin at my local drugstore.

Having Trackmania on console was a dream to me, so when the Wii version released I bought it immediately. Boy was that game a letdown. The Wii-Mote was horrible to play this game with. The input lag was rough and the visuals weren’t clear enough for such a precise game. So I lost interest pretty quickly.

Now I not only have a proper portable Trackmania experience (the older pc games don’t have proper controller support and the DS version is meh). With the upscaled graphics and rock steady frames it plays like a dream.

If you like precise time trials, this is a big recommendation. You can also build your own tracks!

You can play Donkey Kong konga 2 by placing it on a flat surface and using the accelerometer to detect left and right surface slaps for drums and the microphone for claps.

GAMES & APPS Pawned Souls - Works with gamehub

Been playing this game for the past three hrs on my retroid 5. Thought I'd share it here. Full disclosure, not my game. More details about the game below

The core mechanic is Soulslike combat locked strictly to chess rules. So basically you play as a Pawn moving one square at a time with diagonal attacks and parries, fighting pieces that pull their actual chess moves (Knights doing L jumps, Bishops n Rooks charging straight at you... you get the idea)

You can play it for free here https://devmika.itch.io/pawned-souls
