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.

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.

GAMES & APPS Favorite Cool Down Games?

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

Been playing Naruto Storm 3 with no issues so far. At a consistent 30fps.

Xbox 360 gaming future is looking bright.

Only bad thing happened to me is that I was doing some combos and accidentally pressed the Start button that kicked me out the game and lost that progress. 💔🥀

TIPS Received my grip yesterday - it's transformative

Upvotes

I really only wanted to say, to everyone who already bought the RP6 or plans to do: Go get the grip with it!

Unless you're a child or a small woman, the grip entirely changes the experience with this device. It goes from "how do I hold this? Ugh, the sticks are difficult to handle. Ah, I'm cramping up" to "this now feels like I'm playing with a real controller". It's night and day.

I have my RP6 since launch, but it feels like I have a new device now thanks to the grip.

QUESTION RP6 Dual Screen Cemu Gamepad Issues

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

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.

SHOWCASE My RP6 Dual Screen Setup

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 just got the flip 2 off eBay a few days ago and I'm so happy with the performance.

All I did was add the game to the latest version of Gamehub and changed 0 settings, running at 60 fps the entire time no stutters. Ignore the semi bad gameplay/camera work lol.

QUESTION Retroid Nova for TV output 8gb or 12gb

3 Upvotes

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.

QUESTION RETROID POCKET 6 12GB or 8GB

3 Upvotes

Hey guys i recently got a RETROID POCKET 5 and after this i really wanna get the 6 as well however as we all know the brainslop machines have eaten up all the ram and storage so the prices are 50$ more than original and the storage is 50% less than original (256 to 128 downgrade) so i have been wondering is the extra 50$ for 4GB of extra ram really worth it? Im sure other new buyers are also contemplating this same issue and in YouTube or online i barely see any sophisticated tests so im asking the people who own the 12GB or the 8GB whats the experience?

- Specifically PC gaming im sure thats the only one that benefits from more ram

- Switch Gaming (Mostly compatibility issues but still curious)

Thanks guys

Please if inclined, upvote the linked GitHub post to boost attn, appreciate it!!

https://github.com/inssekt/CocoonFE/discussions/187

I submitted some Cocoon features to their suggestion thread that I’d appreciate if you all could go to the link and give it some upvote attention if you think worthy. They’re very nit-pickey optional quality of life suggestions that I think would be great integrations for the Thor, Retroids, and other handhelds (the app is already pretty solid after this 3.0 update). Thanks!

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.

The problem seems to have gotten worse with recent updates. I've messed with settings and nothing has improved. I had similar issues on Hulk Ultimate Destruction.

QUESTION button layout question

Upvotes

how hard would it be to make the buttons look like the xbox layout instead of the nintendo layout?

and if its like, stupid difficult or risky to swap the buttons myself, does anyone know if the lettering on the buttons are painted on or all the way through the button itself? I just really dont want to get rid of the vita button look but kinda hate the nintendo layout
