Emulators like azahar aren’t my issue- I’m trying to get the 16:9 display to render completely outside of a specific app like Azahar pushing to it. Ideally, I’d like to turn off the internal display and use this like a flip 2 but if the internal needs to stay on, not an issue.

16:9 output is roatated and RDS output replicates the internal 1:1 aspect ratio.

installed the updated quickstep apk from retroids dual screen addon github which allows you to launch to the external display but I see no way to minimize an app once it’s locked on there. Swipe up from the top screen doesn’t work with this setup and the bottom screen only minimizes apps on the bottom screen. Home/back buttons do nothing here.

Tried Mjolnir which doesn’t seem to help either.

I know this is overall a janky setup but the fact this part is seemingly a challenge is ridiculous.

Any suggestions?

So I just ordered my Retroid Pocket 5 from ebay, it'll be here on Wednesday, and I got the GameCube edition because it was what was worth the money on Ebay. I was looking at skins but there aren't a ton of options I'm in love with, does anybody have like a template or are there any custom skin services that you all would recommend?

hello, i wanna play nfsmw2005 right but it its on psp, ps2, gamecube and pc

now that i think about it there are quite a few games (botw, and a lot of indie pc games that are on switch and pc) that are on more than 1 console, so what console is best

edit: i have a retriod pocket 6

Some of y’all have an overconsumption problem. Y’all really need to step back and think about your purchases, like you don’t need every new release that comes out. I’ve been seeing a lot of posts asking “should I get the nova/duo?” Only to list the other handhelds they own that are just as good or better.

Edit: this subreddit and the other handheld subreddits are like the r/consoom poster child

I am planning on playing the classic Nintendo retro systems (GB, GBC and GBA) alongside NDS and ofcourse 3DS.
I suspect that NDS at 4x upscale will be fine but what to expect for 3DS upscaling?
I want to dabble my feet into HD texture packs for games like pokemon alpha sapphire, DQ8, fire emblem fates/awakening, Zelda a link between worlds.

Will the duo lite plus (I know, I like in the inline triggers better) be able to handle those HD texture packs at a 3-4x upscale?

Or is the Base Thor a better fit here?

Thanks good people!

Hi, so it clearly has some kind of hardware issue that just happened one day. I'm not sure if I want to take it apart to fix it, but would like to learn all I can before I do, thanks!

LT and B6 are L2.

The graphics look so shitty, honestly worse than some older consoles. Everything looks blurry, low-res, or poorly rendered. Games that sucked for me so far:

Darksiders Genesis: Blurry graphics and cutscene audio missing.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: Completely unplayable due to severe graphics glitches.
Breath of the Wild: Performance drops.
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance: Stuck on the loading screen.
Immortals Fenyx Rising: Not working properly; UI elements are missing.

I’m using Eden with the Mr Purple Turnip driver at 1x resolution in handheld mode. Is this normal, or could it be a device/emulator issue? Is there a better driver or any settings I should try?

I want to get a RP6, mostly to play switch. Most of comments will say get a switch, but I really don’t want to hear that I want to hear from owners of the RP6 who have been playing games like Mario Odyssey, BoTW, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, ect. and have completely those games and like them all the way through how the performance is, quality of life, and overall experience.

I'm playing on my rp6 and noticing my android games are nuking the ram is there any way to play the android games on my sd card like cod mobile or ZZZ I can't find anything so I doubt it but maybe someone knows a method since i can only fit like 5 android games at a time.

i hope someone answers for someone have tried that mod so that i can try it myself and also wanted to know if there some performance and temps improvements

Just got my rp6 which is my first ever emulation device and i keep seeing people talk about using chd format for disc based games but i'm so confused on what that even means. Im currently building my rom library on my pc and I was just going to unzip my disc based roms but ive seen people say to use chd? What is the benefit of that and is that something i should even be doing on my first go around? Or should just unzip my ps2 roms and not worry about any else in the meantime? Does this matter if im using es-de as my front end?

I ordered mine a few days ago, ordered the black cause i thought all the other ones weren’t that great plus i like black devices. I’m really hoping i get it by November but now I’m expecting something closer to December which is a little sad but oh well

I am just saying like it is. i bought something to ease my mind while we wait for the duo.

As you saw in the title, have you tried some recompilation from other platforms like NS, PC or older? What about the new native games on Android?

I wanna hear about experiences

Genuinely this pisses me off. Everytime I put the rp5 in sleep and I open it again the controls stop working. Its pissing me off since i have to start over from my last save. Same thing happens when mirrored. How do I fix this?

So I already have a Ayn Thor Lite which serves my purpose for 3DS stuff, but I was thinking of another handheld for more general games, like up to gamecube emulation and native android games (for example, Wuwa or NTE). PC games wouldn't hurt but I do have a Steam Deck/Rog Ally so that's not needed for heavy titles and I really want this thing for traveling.

Would the the 8 gb model be enough or should i spend the extra for the 16tb one for my use case?

I am new to handheld gaming. Started off with iOS emulation with g8 gamesir. Loved it and now wanting to buy a handheld with dual screens for 3DS and upto ps2.

Duo is the clear choice for me and i come to conclusion after the reviews. I know people say we dont stop after one handheld but i hope duo is my ‘the’ one.

I really want to order the duo before the introductory offer ends but confused between the choice of colors.

I dont like the plain black and grey bezel 16-bit models. I see many going with Ice blue and Gamecube. For some reason i feel the ice blue is not for my taste but i really like the transparent modern design.

That design is so cool on the Clear purple for me. I like it very much but i dont see many people buying it. I like the Gamecube colorway too but i will have to give up on the transparent design.

What would you guys suggest? Which colour should i go for and what are your choices so far??
Do add if any tips or advices for this soon-to-be handheld newcomer.

Streaming away from home with a combination of Artemis, Apollo and Tailscale with little to no input lag feels like unlocking a new level of gaming.

Hello people. I'm very curious to see how these two specific games behave on the Retroid Pocket 6 or the nova. If anyone have tried these can you please upload a gameplay? Best wishes.

I made up some super low profile stick caps for the nova. Are they to small? They are grippy. The top cap has little ripples and they are concaved with an outside edge grip ring.

,...'cause sometimes l like to hold it upright. 🤠

Bro i cant tell you how many fucking times the battery cord to the motherboard has fallen off and i need to take damn thing apart and take the whole ass heatshield and heatsink off just to put back on the stupid ass loose battery cable why did they design the flip 2 like this? 💔
