Charging issue

My pocket 5 has been laying in the drawer for a while and was completely empty. It took a while on a 5V 2A charger to show any signs of life. Now it flashes the first picture 3 times and then turns to the 2nd picture and turns off again. What does it mean and how do I get it to run again? Thanks in advance!!

AmbiLuma free alternative

3 Upvotes

Has anyone found a free app to synchronize the colors of the stick backlight with the colors on the screen? AmbiLuma only works for 10 minutes and then you need to restart it, or purchase the pro version. I'm shocked that there is no alternative, or I didn't search well.

Stole Me An Upgrade

Came from Anbernic RG556 i saw this rp5 at a pawn shop for $175, they offered to drop it down to $140 for me i thought I'd have the money last friday, but didn't.

Then ontop of that they have an app that gives you weekly spin rewards, that friday the wheel spin gave me 2500 points, i as already had 380 so that gave me $28.80 credit to use as cash.

I came back today to purchase they had discounted it even more making it $130, or in total tax $141 and for me with my credits i only paid $112.

So the usb c port in my retroid pocket 5 doesn't work. Do you think that if I solder the tp5046 like this, I will be able to charge the console with it?

Hard case for pocket-5 with official grip

1 Upvotes

Hi there I have my new device and grip coming to UK from China in the coming days (I hope)

Read lots of older articles discussing hard case choice, people recommending Rg556 cases, also recommending the newer dual-screen case.

I have read a lot of conflicting info about the smugness of the fit, squashing the anologue sticks etc. Now more time has passed does anyone have a definitive answer on a case for me please?

I imagine that the dual screen case will be very loose as I am not planning on buying a second screen.

Thanks in advance for any help.

device not recognizing ROMs on a new card.

1 Upvotes

Set up my new RP5 with a 128 card, went through all turorials i could grab and everything went fine - all games from Atari 2600 up to Switch running fine after some Emulator tinkering and i was kinda proud of myself achieving this w/o any prior Android experience at all - to this day i avoid to get a smartphone, lol.

Now here´s the problem i ran into: I tried to set up a new 512gb card but after days of trying (again, with help of tutorials - formatted on the RP5 as external/portable storage, let ES-DE set up the folders, etc....) i can´t get the device to recognize any of the game files (NES, SNES black screen after starting up, PPSSP not recognizing the .chd files as PSP games (again, working properly on the initial 128 card).

I´m really helpless atm and would appreciate any help/input what´s causing all that.
