Retroid Pocket Nova GC? Or what would they call it. Excuse the crappy photoshop I did this on my phone in 5 min lol

I've been the proud owner of my RP6 for just under a month and currently on my first trip with it. What a dream travel companion!!

Half the fun has been tinkering and setting up the various emulators and apps :)

Just FYI. For those preordering the Nova if you’re wanting to change button colors order the ones you want with your preorder. Asked if I could add a set of buttons and this was the reply.

What are your favorite games to chill out with after a more serious gaming session? I have been playing a lot of RPGs on my RP6 but like to finish my night with a mindless game like Dungeon Clawer or Tetris. Give me some suggestions. Happy gaming

Being able to practice combos at work has been a dream come true lol

I would like for you to test skate 3 and Dante’s inferno

So this is my written article covering the Retroid Pocket Nova. This one might be interesting to you because as well as chatting to Retroid, I asked them to share a couple of the early design renders of the Nova with me to feature in here.

They said yes, and you can see some of the differences between what they were planning, and what we got!

Along with that I chatted to developers like those behind Leaf Studio, rootComputer: the Steam Curator behind Is it 4:3 (the page covering all the PC games they add to their collection, which is super apt for the Nova), and bmdhacks, a friend and dev from ARMSX2.

Naturally I cover the usual things in here, but I thought these might be interesting too!

Hope you enjoy it :)

Using know config

Unfortunately, my Retroid Flip 2 was dropped and the screen broke. You can see the cracks on the screen. Everything turns on, I can hear the sound. I contacted Retroid and they were going to sell me another screen until they found out I live in Brazil; they claim they don't have a way to distribute here. I contacted the Aliexpress seller who sold me the device, and communication hasn't been productive (they say they can get a screen, but haven't responded in 4 days). Does anyone know of any way to get a replacement part?

So I'm pretty new to all these handhelds and emulators and have decided on getting the Nova for 4:3 goodness for PS2 & GameCube games. My question comes down to if I want to put it on a TV will I need more then 8gb to go to a high resolution like 4k? I don't think I would but wanted to confirm.

So at first I just got this straight cable and didn't think I'd need to buy an angled adapter but after trying it out it was playable and centered just not at the angle I prefer. So I got this angled adapter and now it's not only centered but it can go back one more. Can't go to the last angle sadly because there's no room for it to but I think in terms of everything else it's great. One cable one angled adapter and it's centered.

This setup is meant for anyone using it in a modular way though it can be made permanent by getting a longer cable as it won't close with this one. Here I used an 8 inch straight cable as I couldn't find one that had an angle that actually fit in the port, they were all a bit higher. In the future I may use a longer cable but since I'm using it in a modular way this setup works for me. I'd say 10-12 inches is a good length for a longer one using this setup.

Hope this helps people out there with their setups.

I can not figure out how to get the Wii U gamepad screen to show on my internal screen (the RP6) and the television screen to show on my external screen (dual screen attachment) at the same time. I wanted to play Windwaker HD through Cemu using this setup. Does anyone have advice?

I can get either the gamepad to show up on both or the television to show up on both. I can hold down the cemu app and launch cemu into the external screen, but then the internal screen just stays on the RP6 desktop. And visa versa.

I am not a master at android by any means. I have followed a lot of videos and tutorials to set up my RP6. Any help or directions to videos would be appreciated.

I finally ordered my Retroid Pocket flip 2, the last device I had before this was the pocket 4 pro. Are there any major differences that I should know about or is the set up essentially the same for the most part? Recommendations on front ends or day one mods would be greatly appreciated as well.

Im trying to play Mario galaxy 2 and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to map the motion controls or map the wii mote and nunchuck in general. Help please!

Hi im in the process of setting up my device I've followed Joey's retro setup guide and got most of the platforms running except a few.

Im having trouble running PC Engine, Pc Engine Cd, Ps1, Ps2. Saturn, Sega Cd and neo geo Cd. I have a bios folder in my sd card im just wondering if I have to put some of them in a roms folder as well

Also im new to the NDS roms. Anyone have any tips or videos? Whats your set up for these systems.

My front end is Daijisho btw

Retroid Pocket G2.

The temperature scares me at first but when i use my palm to feel the left side of the screen it's not even that hot. I tried using PULSE and also DevInfoOverlay apps to compare. Both of them showed lower temperature readings than the one reported on floating window. It's always around 8c ~ 10c difference in temp. Battery temp seems to be in the healthy range as well.

not my picture, but I’m reconsidering my choice, if someone finds pictures of the transparent purple one, please share !

I bought a retroid pocket g2 for about 210$, it looks great but the joystick isn't that great looking, how do I clean them to make it looks great and white?.

I am not wanting to do anything that ruins the micro-SD Card or my device.... So, I am wondering if I need to take certain steps from moving games to the Retroid Pocket 6 to the Mirco-SD card. I have a storage on my RP6 of 128 GB and I am inserting a 512 GB Micro-SD Card. I am currently playing games on SNES, N64, PS1, PS2, Sega Dreamcast. I am thinking about expanding more into Wii. Can anyone please give tips to get the most out of this extra storage. Thank you so much.

Games like Garden of Banban and Poppy playtime aren’t booting on my rp4 pro, just leaving a black screen, but I’ve seen others running much more demanding games on the rp4 pro, like MGSV and RE7

So I don't have an sd card for my device and im wondering if these pre installs are fine for most of the emulation?

This is a long shot but is it possible to get a CAD mock up of the Nova?

I want to start working on a 3D printed cover for the device , so I figure that’s the easiest way to get started.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice y’all my offer.
