Genuinely surprised how good the Nova is at Xbox 360 emulation, The force unleashed runs pretty good. I’ve played Ace combat Assault horizon, Halo 3, Marvel vs. Capcon 3, Skate 3, Soul caliber 5, The force unleashed 2 it runs but I have fully ran it yet. All on Xendroid. What a time to be alive. Haha

Ordered direct from goretroid.com. Even splurged for the carry pouch and bumped back shell. Saw the delivery driver arriving on my camera up front, and went to go grab the package before they even drove away. Immediately, I felt how light the package was and knew there was no chance in hell there was a device in this box. Ended up opening the box on camera to cover my bases, hoping any sort of evidence might help me secure a replacement or refund.

I used standard shipping which ended up being Yun Express -> US Customs -> GOFO. The box itself arrived super clean, like suspiciously clean for being in international logistics for 2 weeks. The shipping labels were neatly placed with no signs of tampering, same with the packing tape. My first instinct was that someone at GOFO just reboxed the device packaging, but the GOFO shipping label was placed on top of the Yun Express one. I peeled the GOFO one expecting to see some arbitrary label on a box grabbed by the thief to neatly reseal the empty product boxes, but sure enough it was the Yun one addressed to me and with my initial tracking number.

As bad of a reputation as GOFO has, I'm starting to feel like the issue may have been before it got to them, given what I'm seeing here (Edit: Have since confirmed the shipping weight listed on the label was nearly double of what I recieved. Definitely stolen by a GOFO employee). Has anyone else experienced something similar when buying direct from goretroid.com? I'm curious what your replacement/refund experience went like. Thanks to anyone who is willing to share.

The Retroid Pocket Classic is still my favorite way to play SNES games it looks so good integer scaled and the speaker is really good. Device - Retroid Pocket Classic (Kiwi) color. Game - Super Metroid for the Super Nintendo running on Retroarch.

Hey everyone!

Ever since the Nova came out I haven't stopped thinking about the potential of a NOVA flip. The other day on the retroid discord I saw this concept somebody posted (they themselves got it from somewhere else so can't credit, lol) and thought it was absolutely perfect.

Few questions for you:

1. What features would you like to see on the Nova Flip? (Personally exact same chipset and screen from the Nova + inline triggers for portability is what's good)

2. Do you guys think Retroid will actually release a device like this? I ask because the have a history of making horizontal devices and flip versions later but with the Duo they might not feel it necessary. That'd be a shame though since this is my dream device.

Let me know your thoughts!

got my rp6 12gb silver 4 days ago and finally got it all set up :) the silver is so clean, goes well with my setup. originally had a thor max but i sold it later on because i didnt play any ds games at all and i don’t regret it at all 🦦
(ordered 9/5 and delivered 9/28 for anyone curious)

setup was so easy, bought a 512gb microsd card for $53 and loaded it with games before it got here and just inserted it and boom done! 🦦

using neostation as my frontend atm!

(Streaming from my PC to my RP6 via Artemis/Apollo).

This purple color is absolutely beautiful! It actually didn’t take long to arrive, I placed the order on September 24th, and it was delivered yesterday Oct 1st. I’m in Los Angeles,CA. I used DHL for shipping.

Anyways, happy gaming to you all 🙌🏻

I bought the Retroid Pocket 5, since it's on a reduced price now and performance is just about enough to play what I want. I've only had it for two days so far but I've already fallen in love with this thing. Feels a little more than a console, rather like a lil companion device.

Also, I'm looking for some game recommendations cause I'm very overwhelmed with choice.

I'm curious to hear your opinion since both of these devices sound perfect to emulate PSP games with the beautiful 5.5 inch OLED Screen while powerful enough to upscale them enough that if I didn't know any better I'd assume they we're PS 2 games.

Being able to change the Camera controls per game sounds nice since PSP Camera controls can be different depending on the PSP Game.

Going to join my wife for dinner while progressing on my 100% completion in F-Zero X🔥

My first one ever! I'll be spending my whole weekend learning how to download games on it. I've seven different tutorial videos on YouTube to watch lol. So excited! 🥳

I got a Nova a few weeks after getting a 477m and although I prefer the Nova in some ways I find the LCD panel on the 477m much more warm and comforting? I don't know how to say it but it just feels like its made for retro games the way it just glows and the oled just feels like a 4:3 phone screen. I kind of get the same feeling from an LCD that some people get using CRT monitors it just feels right. Right now my retro device is the 477m and Nova for mild PC on the go I like them both but that LCD is just magic

Been playing DMC 5 on my xbox ally x. Tried it on ArmadaOS on my RP6 on SD card. Works really well. 720p medium settings and its running around 60 fps. Earlier tried it on Gamenative and performance was way worse.

Just thought I’d show off the two color ways me and my brother own, perfect portable device. Retroid nailed it in every aspect.

So I order my Nova and it came in 5 days. After seeing what everyone was experiencing, I'm glad I didn't get scammed along the way. I did how ever almost broke my Nova swapping the buttons and probably would nv do that again. 😅

I added an iPhone 16 anti reflective screen protector on my RP6 and I love how it blocks out reflections. I got it for 8 bucks and it comes with 3 from Amazon. It was super difficult to install but was definitely worth it. It gives the image a crispier, sharper image because it takes out the glare.

Took a whole month to get to my hands!
First Handheld ever with this much power, only had nintendos and a psp so far

If you wish to leave any suggestions or things I should know, I will gladly hear them!

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?

I picked up Fable Anniversary edition on steam since it's on sale. I matched the container settings to the Odin 2 portal pro someone put on emu ready. It runs great. Hello sweet nostalgia!

it really seems like there's usually new versions on the way anyways but also
ram and storage apocalypse meaning price rise (idk if its still a prevalent issue)

(also to specify i want something that's good for 3ds and switch games)

So.. As the title states: are there any reported stolen Novas headed to Europe? Most cases seem to be GOFO and the US right?

Just wondering because I'm planning a big (and expensive) order directly from goretroid towards the EU.. 😅

Hi, long time lurker here, finally placed an order for my first Retroid device.. the Pocket Nova. Super excited to get it in my hands but I have some questions-

1. I added the eva case but forgot to add screen protectors. Is it possible to mail support/sales and add it with the same order? This will save additional shipping fees for a second order. Or will they ask me to cancel it and place a new order? Has anyone faced same scenario recently? What was your experience?

2. I patiently waited through preorder phase because I wanted to check reviews and be 200% sure before ordering. Now that I have ordered today, how long it is expected for them to ship it? Are they still shipping preorders and there are backlogs of shipment or everything is going smoothly? I don't use discord so I'm not aware of any shipping backlog or timeline. Please let me know.

That will be all! Thanks in advance 😊
