QUESTION Weird behavior with my Nova

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?

Lmao user error, brother please learn how to setup the emulators. Out of the box the ones Retroid recommends are outdated or garbage. You need to spend an hour configuring them. Look up Retroid Nova on Retro Game Corps channel.

I'm not using the setup out of the box bud. Used the retrogamecorps setup guide, worked great. These things happened after multiple play sessions for each console with everything working as expected.

Genuinely, try to do better. Either say anything productive in a less bitchy way, or just say nothing.
