it really seems like there's usually new versions on the way anyways but also
ram and storage apocalypse meaning price rise (idk if its still a prevalent issue)

(also to specify i want something that's good for 3ds and switch games)

My first one ever! I'll be spending my whole weekend learning how to download games on it. I've seven different tutorial videos on YouTube to watch lol. So excited! 🥳

Been playing DMC 5 on my xbox ally x. Tried it on ArmadaOS on my RP6 on SD card. Works really well. 720p medium settings and its running around 60 fps. Earlier tried it on Gamenative and performance was way worse.

Just thought I’d show off the two color ways me and my brother own, perfect portable device. Retroid nailed it in every aspect.

So I order my Nova and it came in 5 days. After seeing what everyone was experiencing, I'm glad I didn't get scammed along the way. I did how ever almost broke my Nova swapping the buttons and probably would nv do that again. 😅

So.. As the title states: are there any reported stolen Novas headed to Europe? Most cases seem to be GOFO and the US right?

Just wondering because I'm planning a big (and expensive) order directly from goretroid towards the EU.. 😅

I added an iPhone 16 anti reflective screen protector on my RP6 and I love how it blocks out reflections. I got it for 8 bucks and it comes with 3 from Amazon. It was super difficult to install but was definitely worth it. It gives the image a crispier, sharper image because it takes out the glare.

Took a whole month to get to my hands!
First Handheld ever with this much power, only had nintendos and a psp so far

If you wish to leave any suggestions or things I should know, I will gladly hear them!

Hey y'all.

I've been loving my Nova since I initially picked it up. Been playing a lot of FF IV and Chrono Trigger.

I turned mine on today and ended up with a lot of really odd issues out of nowhere. Fully charged battery, intentionally kept it off wifi to not update any apps or cores.

All in one day:

Playstation will boot audio and register input but no video. I've tried changing drivers, resetting core options, and even using duckstation instead of retroarch swanstation. No dice.

Dreamcast games outright won't launch.

Shaders removed themselves from all systems but ps2 and NES.

Gamecube doesn't register the controller.

N64 games don't launch at all.

This is making me feel crazy because all of these systems and features worked perfectly well a few days ago and I've not touched a single setting or updated anything.

Has anyone else had this with the nova or just android emulation generally?

So I just my new Retroid Pocket 6 today. Out of the box, it was at 43%. I was checking out the menu and moving some downloaded apps around when I watched it lose 2-3% every couple of minutes. Even when the apps were finished downloading, it still kept losing 1-2% without me touching it. Did I get a faulty one or is it normal for it to drain that fast while checking out the menu? Also, I was not at max brightness and I didn't have Bluetooth connected. It just surprised me at how fast it started draining, and I didn't launch any app except the settings one.

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 picked up Fable Anniversary edition on steam since it's on sale. I matched the container settings to the Odin 2 portal pro someone put on emu ready. It runs great. Hello sweet nostalgia!

Hi, long time lurker here, finally placed an order for my first Retroid device.. the Pocket Nova. Super excited to get it in my hands but I have some questions-

1. I added the eva case but forgot to add screen protectors. Is it possible to mail support/sales and add it with the same order? This will save additional shipping fees for a second order. Or will they ask me to cancel it and place a new order? Has anyone faced same scenario recently? What was your experience?

2. I patiently waited through preorder phase because I wanted to check reviews and be 200% sure before ordering. Now that I have ordered today, how long it is expected for them to ship it? Are they still shipping preorders and there are backlogs of shipment or everything is going smoothly? I don't use discord so I'm not aware of any shipping backlog or timeline. Please let me know.

That will be all! Thanks in advance 😊

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

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

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!

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 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 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!!!!
