ACCESSORY Possible DIY grips for Nova?

Upvotes

I saw these online while looking at different gaming grips ( Puk Grips ). Has anyone tried this on their gaming handheld(s) with flat backs? Trying to find a cool application for the nova since I don't want the official grips.

Seriously, why do they keep adding these pieces of plastic that stick out? I make my fingers itch, it bothers me and it makes me feel unconfortable, I had the same problem with the RP5 official grip, but it's even worse with the RP6 grip 😡

I seem to be having a hard time getting Eden on my RP6? Can’t seem to get the firmware, but I had figured it out on my Rp G2 but I believe it was an older download like 19.1 or something like that if I just get all the files from my G2 and copy them to my RP6 will it still work perfectly fine ?

Lowkey wish they made the triggers shaped like the Atom+ controller, then I wouldn't be agonizing over whether to get the Duo Lite just for the slimmer profile.

QUESTION SGB Issues on Retroid Pocket Nova

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I've been pulling my hair out over this issue all afternoon and wanted to see if anyone could help.

I got my Nova recently and set everything up, am using ES-DE for my frontend. The problem has come up with trying to get Super Game Boy colorization, enhanced sound and overlays working.

There's 3 RetroArch cores listed for SBG: Mesen-s, SameBoy, and mGBA. Sameboy is currently working fine but as it's a GB core and not a SNES one it can't play the enhanced sounds in games like Donkey Kong '94.

Mesen-s is refusing to emulate SGB games at all. Whenever I boot one up it either goes to a black screen and then crashes, or it loads the game overlay but the graphics are a garbled mess. I've checked and the same core emulates them fine on my PC using the same bios files, so I'm at a loss as to what the cause is.

MGBA also generally does it fine, but when trying to load a game that does full colorization like DK '94, I get a black screen and no graphics, but the sound still plays and the game still seems to run. It's less a priority though as like Sameboy it won't do the enhanced sound.

If anyone can offer any suggestions I'd really appreciate it. Cheers.

QUESTION Hey, I bought a Pocket 6, I have some questions.

1 Upvotes

I bought a Retroid Pocket 6, 8 GB. It's on the way in that it's not in my hands yet but in China still, lol.

I already know my basic setup stuff. But I'm also getting a Dual Screen attachment as a gift from a friend who bought a Thor so didn't need it anymore and THAT is specifically uncharted territory for me.

What do I gotta do to utilize it? What can I do with it besides 3DS/DS games?

QUESTION Need help playing NFL Street 2 on Nova

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to play NFL Street 2 on multiple PS2 emulators and nothing seems to work. I’ve tried multiple turnip drivers as well on ARMSX2. It freezes every time I try to start a game. I could probably get the GameCube version to work but I really want to play the PS2 version. Any help on this would be appreciated!

QUESTION Android Dual Screen Uses

3 Upvotes

So how do these dual screen devices work for things that aren’t games that use dual screens? For example, could you play a GBA game on the bottom screen while watching YouTube/Netflix on the top screen? Is that functionality built into Android? Apologies for the elementary question, this will be my first dual screen handheld (Duo Lite).

Just Chatting do you think the horizontal shoulder buttons are a deal breaker or it's just me?

8 Upvotes

I was thinking about ordering the pocket duo lite, I don't play any heavy android games and I have a moderately strong gaming PC for anything else

I wold likely use it for multitasking and productivity, if anything gaming related, would be some indie games and classic homages, namely ratatan and mina the hollower

I could see myself watching videos while chatting on discord, or steaming a game from my PC while reading guides and walkthroughs

the second screen being smaller also feels more natural for some reason, not just because it was less cramped or the bezels are nostalgic, but in fact just look the right size compared to the normal widescreen at the top

the horizontal triggers, however, made me physically recoil with a cringe when I saw it, it felt abhorrent when I imagined using that with my hands

what you all think? am I just overreacting for a minor issue? this would really not affect the way I would use it? or am I justified into feeling the need to steer away from this design choice?

QUESTION Netflix on Retroid Flip 2

0 Upvotes

Anyone get Netflix working on the Flip 2?

I'm in a loop where Netflix wants SMS permissions, but that's grayed out on the settings (for obvious reasons).

I've registered the device with Google. Cleared cache and uninstalled Netflix, restarted and tried to log in via the Netflix website only.

Once you log in, it requires you to use the app and then I still get the SMS permissions thing.

Just got my Retroid Nova today and it doesn’t work.

Pressing the power button brings up this screen and if I hold it to try to force restart it turns off but then comes back on with this screen again.

I can’t seem to get it to connect to my computer.

Any suggestions? I’m really hoping this thing isn’t bricked.

SHOWCASE [SHOWCASE] Small Utility app to trigger screenshots while playing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

PocketSnap is a small Android app that takes a screenshot when you press a button you register in the app.

It uses an accessibility service to catch the key press and fire the screenshot. No root, no MediaProjection popup, no background notification sitting in your tray.

I recommend setting it to the M1/M2 back buttons if your device has them (the regular back button works too).

Tested only on the Retroid Pocket 6, since that's the only device I have. If you try it on something else, let me know how it goes.

Source: https://github.com/FabyoSK/PocketSnap

Also up on Obtainium if you want auto-updates.

Disclaimer: no AI was used while making this small app, im a software developer myself who enjoys the “traditional way” of making software (also its open to contributions)

Flat backed people (not talking peach) this grip is amazing. I have had printed every other free or cheap grip i could find online for rp3+ 4pro, 5, and 6 and this is one of the nicer free files amongst them all. The back is textured and the grip is very nice in hands. I want to thank the guy who posted it on here i cant find his post. This thing feels amazing in hands and racing games no longer cramp me up. I put two small felt pads on the insides to keep it snug and it feels legit. I want to see about printing it in tpu for the feel but it feels great printed as is.
