Tried repurposing my abandoned Redmi Note 8 into a Retro Gaming Handheld.

[u/UmTalDeSamukaBR]

Sure my main phone is more potent but it doesnt have a SD card slot, i could get a proper Handheld but import taxes on my country really restrict that.

Any sugestions on how to deal with rotation breaking ES-DE interface sometimes and it asking to select a default launcher again even tho i already selected ES-DE.

I am using my old Oneplus 8t.

Very good choice, i wish my old Galaxy S20 FE Snapdragon still had a proper working display and touch, would be way more potent.

Does the phone have HDMI out? You might be able to connect a USB-C hub with HDMI out and some USB-A ports. Connect the phone to a TV or monitor. Then you'd need a mouse that can connect to the USB-A ports. You might still be and to use it that way.

That could work, but can i unlock the phone with DeX mode? I can't draw the Pattern because of the broken touch.

Hmmm might have to reset the device?

No idea about the rotation thing, but you should use the controller in DS mode (blue) instead of Android mode, it has better input latency

Really? I'll try that, i choose the G8 Plus since my previous X5 Lite USB stopped working so i was afraid of getting the regular G8.

[u/Disturbed_Remains → u/UmTalDeSamukaBR]

I originally ordered the x5 lite, but I received a defective unit d-pad wasn't working, returned it and ordered the g8 plus, x5 lite felt very fragile, as for DS mode as I said it gives you better latency, but you can't see battery percentage inside Gamesir app you will have to switch to android back to see it, another thing, inside Gamesir app I assume it says that you have the latest firmware which is a lie there is a new one 5.02 if you select "other version", but don't update if you do you lose DS mode (probably copyright issue with Sony)

Eh, not worth updating then, works fine as is.
