About this deal

Now tap the Paths button and navigate to where you stored the relevant Roms. And select “Use this folder”. When you plug in your device for the first time via USB you will be given the option to use the SD card as Handheld Storage or as Portable Storage. I have been using Portable Storage without any issues, but I know some people prefer to use it as Handheld Storage – the only downside is that you can’t unplug the SD card and plug it into your computer for faster file transfer. Screen Flexibility: The adjustable screen angle enables you to find the ideal viewing position, ensuring optimal comfort and visibility during gameplay. CITRA (3DS) NOTES: For some random reason my Citra defaulted to having audio disabled, if you open the in-game menu and tap on MENU > OPTION > AUDIO > SOUND ENABLED – ON. Also, because I opted to have the savestates and system files saved to the ROMS folder, they end up appearing in the games list in Daijisho. To fix the tap EDIT ITEM > VISIBLE (PLAYABLE ITEM”S VISIBILITY) – OFF

NOTE: I decided while making this that I will use the Retroid version due to it offering lower resolutions for better performance. Choose to install ScummVM, Redream, , AetherSX2, PPSSPP, M64 Plus FZ, Moonlight, Citra and Dolphin for Handheld because these are the ones that I found were nicely set up for the RP3+ by RetroidDolphin (GameCube and Wii) –note: I decided to use the Retroid version below due to it allowing 0.3 and 0.5 resolution, allowing higher end games to play, albeit at a low resolution. When you open up the device you will be greeted with the 4.7” display which has a resolution of 1334 x 750, which I noticed is incredibly bright coming in at a strong 450nits, I had to turn the brightness down out of the box it was that strong! Button Layout The only difference between these two is the obvious flip screen, the M1 and M2 buttons and the active cooling. Initial setup of Android 11

Choose your HOTKEY ENABLE (this is the button you press in conjunction with other buttons to use hotkeys): L3 Map Hotkeys– these are shortcuts that will allow you to navigate RetroArch easily. You can always change this, but I recommend something that you are familiar with. I have mostly copied the hotkeys from my Linux devices. Whether you are using the Retroid Launcher or AOSP Launcher you will need to set up the RetroArch app. RetroArch is an all-in-one frontend and emulator system (known as cores) that makes it very easy to play many classic computers and consoles.

NB: At the time of writing this there has been some drama with the developers of this app, with the Playstore version being sabotaged. So, for now, rather use the Retroid version and disable automatic updates until this matter has been cleared up. Since this happened I have noticed adverts are now in the app and it no longer directly loads from Daijisho. Additional performance boost: Also look into Dolphin MMJR and MMJR2 – these are two unsupported Dolphin forks that drastically improve performance and are recommended in the compatibility sheet linked below. However, it does not link up seemlessly with Daijisho so I don’t want to make it my official recommendation for this guide. Main menu – L2 (this is to make it the same as PPSSPP to ad to a unified system) / on the FLIP I have mapped the menu to M1

Disable “Prevent press the Home button accidentally” unless you have been having an issue pressing the home button during gameplay. With this you will only need to press the home button once to return to the home screen/front end. Ergonomics: The ergonomic design of guarantees a comfortable and enjoyable gaming experience, reducing hand strain during long gaming sessions.

Please Note

I like retroachievements mostly for the progress percentage that pops up when you load a game. It gives you a sense of progress. Another excellent list was made by Monospace: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RtW2YVZLi7oywEX0KLO2PkCTSOYTJXRu/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=102173091593497184615&rtpof=true&sd=true OR you can try the BETA enhanced version for better performance (see below), personally I have used the regular Citra emulator from Retroid. If you want to dive into specific Android games you can too, you can even do some cloud gaming on it if you’re into that, although the screen is a little too small to have a pleasant experience doing it. The setup wizard will finish off any other tasks and you will be launched into the Launcher you chose. Adding games to your micro SD card

To disable the side menu, swipe down from the top, swipe to reveal the system icons like wifi etc, turn “Floating Icon” OFF Disable Confirm Quit Settings >> Confirm Quit (disable) – this way you don’t have to press your quit hotkey twice to exit a game. If you really want a grip, Retroid sell an official grip but there are also 3D printable files out there to consider. Moises Perez asked how screen mirroring works, and unfortunately not well. I had my TV and my device on the same network and it was very stuttery.

Watch the video for a more in-depth coverage of this. Remember to save the shader and the override. After you have mapped the above your X-box controller (if you chose this option) buttons will react differently as A and B
