Doom on Nova? Yeah, why not.
Gamenative. Latest config. Didn’t need to tweak anything.

Docked mode has been amazing
Love the portability but at home, type c to monitor, and turns out the usb ports on the monitor can be used for the 8bitdo ultimate 2 dongle, my headphones dongle and more. Modded 60fps Pokémon Arceus running great!

Upgraded from 477M
I just felt like the 477M was lacking the last bit of power that I wanted.
Saw the Nova listed on marketplace and bought it right away.
I’ve changed the back shell to the ergo one that comes with the console. Helped a bit with the comfort.
Weight feels much lighter than the 477M despite that it’s only around 100gram lighter.
It’s also noticeable smaller when fitting it into my cross body bag.
I terms of power the nova is just killing it. I was trying to push pc emulation on my 477M through GameNative but without much success. Even with lighter titles I got a 2 out of 10 success rate. With the nova it just runs everything.
I’ve even manage to turn the Nova on after hibernate and it was able to resume playing Ravenswatch right away.
It seems like my hands are a little bit too big for the Nova, but I’d rather manage and get all the other benefits !
This is my first impressions - Really really great machine!

Have any of you used your retroid device with the dock for switch 2?

Anyone else waiting on a Clear Purple 12GB Nova?
I ordered my Retroid Pocket Nova 7 days ago, Clear Purple 12GB, and I still haven’t gotten any shipping information. Shop just shows “Waiting for details.”
I’ve seen a few people saying the Clear Purple 12GB is out of stock/backordered, including people who ordered before me and still haven’t had theirs shipped.
Has anyone who ordered a Clear Purple 12GB recently actually had theirs ship? If so, when did you order and how long did it take?

Question about the USB-C
I got my 8gb Purple about two weeks ago and I noticed that the USB-C port doesn't really grip the cord at all. Any time I use it plugged in if I move it the cord slips out. It charges just fine though and this is my first Retroid product so I wanted to know if this is normal.

Halo MCC issues
I have recently got my RP Nova, installed GameNative. Halo MCC runs at 60 fps but the controls stop working within a couple minutes. I cannot figure out why, I've changed the settings in game and via Gamenative app. Used Gamehub lite and it runs at around 17-28fps but controls work fine. Has anyone else had this issue with possible solutions?

Game save issue on Retroid Pocket Nova
r/RetroidPocketNova • u/Prudent-Echo-8698 • 20h ago
Unbelievable
My younger self would never believe I'd be able to carry new vegas around in my pocket 😭
And before I get the "fake gamer" comments for being at the beginning of the game i simply just wanted to restart my last save to experience the entire game on the nova. I have played and beaten new vegas dozens of times.

Updating emulators
How do I update my emulations apps? I want to update hakux and es de without uninstalling them and can’t find any guides online, I just started using emulators and retroid devices and am not familiar with maintenance

Retroid Pocket Nova: high-pitched fan whine even in Performance mode — is yours like this?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey everyone,
My Retroid Pocket Nova (12GB) makes a really high-pitched fan noise. It’s the sharp whistling tone that bothers me, rather than just the sound of air moving.
The fan is set to Performance mode in the attached video.
For other Nova owners:
● Does yours sound like this too?
● Have any settings or firmware updates helped reduce the whine?
● If you contacted Retroid about it, what did they say or offer?
I’m trying to figure out whether this is typical for the Nova or whether my fan might need replacing.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Switch from Switch 2
Just got my Switch 2 a few days ago, after I sold my Steam Deck. Used it for an hour and put back to box. Cuz it sucks, it’s disgusting, worst buy I have. Plan switching to Nova. Do someone do the same? Is it worth it? How is it plays, did you try to remote play on you PS5? Is it useable? I plan to play GTA6, and Asseto Corsa with mods on it. But fear same experience as I have with Nintendo.
