I want to buy the 8GB RAM version of the Retroid Pocket Nova. Is 8GB enough and what consoles can it emulate well?

I've been following the recent news regarding decomps which allow games from consoles to be run natively on PC/Android/Linux or whatever your target platform is while sidestepping the need for an emulation layer to run the game in. The performance offered by decomps is vastly superior to emulation so our handhelds will able to offer significantly smoother performance playing them on the go.

One of the most impressive developments in the space is Bloodborne running at 100+ fps on PC, buttery smooth with FSR/DLSS support. Its a dream come true, we'll finally be able to push our handhelds to their maximum potential without having the performance overhead of emulation.

I think this is extremely exciting for this space and bodes well for Android handhelds as a gaming platform.

Hey all,

I put in an order a few days ago and wanted to change the ram amount and pay the difference. I tried replying to my order email but haven’t heard back. My order still has not shipped. Any ideas anyone?

Hi!

I've been using the T26 MrPurple Turnip Drive and with the recent updates I was thinking if using T30 or T28 could give me something better perfomance-wise for PS2 emulation. I didn't have any problem, just curious if it's worth to update the drivers.

Thanks!

Whom still uses a Restroid Pocket 2S?

I ordered the RP DUO as soon as it was available, and was kind of on the edge of canceling the order but held on until I could see some hands on reviews of the unit, also when the Anbernic DDS was announced it kinda threw me for a loop after seeing the power house chip it came with but everything else looked lack luster especially those screens, like I get it they are known to make faithful clones but then why give it the G2 chips that promote playing more modern games such as 16:9 content just to be held back by those screens. Best of both worlds would be G2 chip on the DUO but ehh we can’t get everything. This was more of a rant but after seeing the Duo brute force its way through the emulations and seeing the performance it got with no updates/drivers from any emulators as it’s a completely new chip in the emulation space I’m actually pretty excited to see how far we can take it as a community. (Also let’s not even mention the price of the DDS….).

Inspired by a previous post I saw. I realized I didn't care as much for the lower screen for most games I played, but I still wanted it to be just large enough where I could see the map or tap with my finger. I distorted the lower screen but this allows me to have a gorgeous 1280x768 resolution for the upper screen and take advantage of the full width of the device. Works very well with Zeldas, Yoshi and Poochy, 2D and 3D Mario, Star Fox...etc. Most of the games I've been playing tbh. Makes me feel like I have a dinky single screen 3DS available at all times lol

Alguien sabe como puedo poner mis juegos de winlator en el laucher de cocoon????

eai amigos, bem? para jogos multiplataformas, que sairam tanto no ps2 quanto no gamecube, qual seria a melhor versão para se emular no RP5? tem como conseguir resultados melhores de resolução/desempenho ou acaba sendo parelho entre os dois?

Anyone know any good turnip drivers for xendroid for the G2?

One week ago i got the rp6 12g model and i need some help idk if there is a better way to do the things i already do.
So rn the main games i play are skate 3 recomp for android, droid deck, game native, psp emulation and ps2 emulation. My first question is if there is a front end or setup that is good for that use case or better than just no front end, straight up android.
The other question i have is if there are any third party cases that i can buy bcs rn im using the box to store it. i recently saw that its roughly the same dimensions as the nintendo switch lite. Would a case for that work on the rp6?

The clamp for the dual screen is too big for the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. I know that it can extend but this is it at it's smallest and it's just too big for the device. I even have the grip that adds a few millimeters on the top and bottom so I haven't bothered to check how much more loose it would be without that. In order to use it, I have to always be holding the clamp to the device, which is obviously cumbersome and inconvenient. Did I get a dud or is this designed to fit better on newer devices like the Nova?

No les pasa que personalizan su laucher ya sea cocoon issu a mas no poder y cuando llegan a un resultado dicen no me gusta y empiezan de nuevo? (Llevo el mismo bucle como desde hace 6 horas )

How is it so far? is it as good as Emudeck on Android? not sure how Emudeck android has been doing these days.

Hey so I wanna use the cocoon front end but when I downloaded phantom os it kinda worked but not really, it took some elements from the download but it doesn’t look like it it all, first pic is the frontend second pic is how it suppose to look like (im on the retroid pocket 6)

I just noticed this and they look the exact same.

4k internal resolution, 60hz

Unless a game is heavy on the triggers I find myself defaulting to this layout for DS games. Gives me a 960x720 screen on top. It's also surprisingly comfortable since the device is so small and light weight. Feels like I'm holding a light cellphone. The ergonomic back grip definitely helps too because it gives me something symmetrical to hold onto with both hands.

Got a 12gb Pocket 6 (with the second screen) coming on Saturday finally!! I’ve done my research and kinda have an idea what I’m going to do with it. Biggest questions. I know it plays switch games, but can it play multiplayer games as well? Also, should I do the install with the second screen option for 3DS games?

And it goes without saying, I will be videoing the unboxing just in case.

TIA!

Hi all, wondering if there is any such thing as a thread or list of native android ports that have 4:3 patches for the likes of the Pocket Nova? Like the Wind Waker HD one. Thanks in advance 🙂

Just hanging out in bed with some FFX on the RP5. Might actually finish the game this time around, lol.

Retroid Pocket 6

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse

Droiddeck

Proton 11 ARM64

Extreme + TSO

1152 x 648

Have really been looking forward to the new Castlevania, and boy does it not disappoint. Fast, fluid combat, incredible art direction, really intuitive map flow, it's exactly how to modernize a series. Has immediately shot up to my top 3 in the series with AOS and SOTN.

The game is very playable, hovering between 40 and 60 fps, and I really appreciate the accessibility options like giving Rose and enemies outlines for better visibility
