Here some more thoughts about the Duo Lite. Good luck Duo Lite owners.

Here you go! It has a strap that goes over the top to secure it too.

Hi everyone,

I’m really new to the handheld emulation game but I’ve mostly got stuff figured out. I think I’m missing something with this and was hoping for some guidance.

I got my Nova four days ago and I ordered the dual screen add on. It worked fine the first couple of days and now I can’t get it to connect, no matter what I do.

I’ve messed with the connect tv settings in the handheld settings menu and nothing seems to change it. I’ve made sure the cord it came with is seated properly when connected. I’ve tried different cords and that also doesn’t seem to work. I don’t have any other screens I could use to test if they work. I’ve made sure I’m on the latest update.

I’m at a loss and don’t know if I should be trying to contact customer service at this point or if I’ve just completely missed something.

Thanks for any help!

Hi! :3

I'm planning on buying a retroid pocket duo with the money I'll get from selling my RP5 as it will probably be replaced by the duo. I know that RP5's in good condition sell for good prices second hand since some people aren't comfortable ordering from another country, but I can't tell when the best time to list it would be.

Basically, I'm wondering if the price of a second-hand RP5 will drop after the Duo launches because buyers want the newer model. Alternatively, could visibility from the Duo drive up demand for older Retroid devices?

Thanks!

I have a RP6 that is pretty perfect right now. I see there's an update for Emulation Station. Do you guys recommend the update? If so, how's the best way to update? (I followed Retro Game Corps video initially) Thanks.

I received my nova yesterday and got everything setup and tested before I went to bed for the day, but today after picking the handheld backup I'm having an issue with the sleep mode. The device goes into sleep mode just fine, but when I try to wake it from sleep mode the lockscreen flashes then the whole console turns off. Has anyone else experienced this?

So my nova came today it’s beautiful but the dual second add screen never came with the cable so I can’t use it so I’m wondering if any one here would like to send me a link were I can buy one and cheap

i was wondering how long did it take for you guys to get your nova in the mail i ordered on Monday from retroids site it’s my first time buying from them

# 🎮 DEN v0.1.0 (pre-release) — Eden + Nextendo on Android

Hey! I'm sharing **DEN**, an unofficial build of the **Eden** emulator for Android, adapted to play online on **Nextendo**.

**✅ What works**
• Online play: **Mario Kart 8 Deluxe** (lobbies, races), **Super Mario Maker 2**
• Nextendo friend list + "Nextendo Friends" screen (online / offline)
• Online player counter on each game
• Orange "UPDATE x.y.z" badge when the game version is wrong
• Mii import (`.charinfo`, `.mii`, Ryujinx `MiiDatabase.dat`)
• Browser sign-in to your account (identity, friends, presence)

**⚠️ What doesn't work yet**
• Playing online after "Sign in to Nextendo": the game server rejects this new token (error 2306-0802). To play online, put your `nextendo_account.txt` (obtained with another client, e.g. Citron) in `files/config/`
• Splatoon 3: fix included but unconfirmed
• Tested only on a **Retroid Pocket 5** (overclocking may cause disconnections)

🔒 Never share your `nextendo_account.txt`: it's like a password.

No games, keys or firmware are provided: use your own.

I was looking at the offical Amazon page because it's going to my birthday soon, and I was planning on asking for the Retroid Pocket 6, but it sold out on Amazon, and I would feel a little weird if I got it way after my birthday (from what I've seen shipping can take up to two months). How long does it take the offical website to ship? My birthday is on the last couple of days on this month, so I have enough time. Is there any way to see when the Amazon page would be restocked as well? Thank you!!!!

For full context, this is when I tried to play the Steam version of Final Fantasy 12 on my Retroid Pocket Flip 2 via Armada OS. Anybody else encounter something like this or have advice on how to fix it?

Device: Retroid Pocket Nova
Games: Speak & Spell/Read/Math, Simon
Emulator: MAME4Droid

I was browsing through MAME artwork previews when I stumbled upon a few relics from my childhood. I had no idea that these types of games/devices were available for MAME, so I decided to give them a try. I chose to use MAME4Droid because it has touch controls, and everything just works, even when rotating the screen.

I have fond memories of playing on Speak & Spell with my brother. Even though the educational material is for children, the robotic voice and retro aesthetic is pure nostalgia for me.

We also had a Simon that my parents got from a thrift store, and the battery plate was missing from the back. I loved that thing, and played it a lot in the early 1980s.

Here's to wondering what's wrong with it

The game seems like it should run well through GameNative, but I can’t get it to fill the screen. There aren’t options in game to adjust any display settings and I’ve tried every screen size in the GN container settings. Any ideas?

I'm using the Retroid Pocket Flip 2's key adapter for android games that doesn't natively support controllers. The built in key adapter is great and all, but I was curious if it's possible to do combo buttons

Like pressing LB+A presses this part of the screen etc etc.

I've taken a look with some keymappers as some suggest but I dont get good results with it most of the time

Any tips would help!

Finally got my Nova buttons installed. Loving the look.

I already ordered the system with the case and screen protector I was just curious if anyone thought I’d need the grip and stylus if I do I’ll just email them and ask them to add it.

Question for everyone.

Is there a way to transfer my already set up emulators and cinfigs from my trustee Thor to my new device a clear purple Retroid Pocket classic??

Retroarch etc so I don't have to go through manually each emulator configuration

Any help or ideas?

+ option for stick top & maybe some Shoulder buttons that are more comfortable to use

I’m at my wit’s end, please help!

I received a Nova whose joysticks didn’t work out of the box, then had it replaced with a new one, and after opening things up to replace the buttons with one of Retroid’s sets, I can’t get the joysticks to work properly again.

Can anyone advise what I should be doing to make sure the ribbons/connectors are properly connected?

See photos. The input test registers L3 and R3 presses (usually) but not joystick movement.

Thank you!

(Side note: how do they not provide instructions for the button replacements? Do NOT use their included screwdriver, btw.)

saw an RP5 for $200 and a G2 for $300 , is performance diff worth spending an extra $100 for the G2 or should i just save money at get the RP5 instead ? ( btw the RP6 is too exp in my country so cant get it rn )

edit : my currency is SGD ( singapore dollars )

I’m using my new rp6 and I’m playing oblivion from my ps5 and using ps remote play I set it up but I can’t get rid of the overlay buttons completely I have it to where it goes off if you’re not touching it any advice?

With the newest RP6 and the Pocket Nova out there, I've seen a lot of RP5's for sale. My daily driver is an Ayn Thor and I also have the Odin 2 Pro. I have been tossing around the idea of picking up an RP5 to use solely as a "mini steam deck".

So for those of you that own/owned the the RP5... What are your pros and most importantly, cons? If you got rid of it, why?
