Should be here in a few days. Anyone ever fucked with one? My loftiest aspiration for it is to be able to play Smash Melee on the go, if I know how to set up Retroarch on my phone will I be ok with the Rp3?

    I have the Pocket 2 (maybe 2+ - I dunno). But I’ve been rocking the Miyoo for the last year and it’s my go-to for on the go. I never pick up my Retroid.

    Theres a launcher app that comes with the RPs that’s pretty good. Learn how to set that up. I’m sure Retro Game Corps has a guide.

    Have fun!

    Enjoying my rg353vs, very handy for lounging playing something without really feeling like you are committing to getting too “settled in” to a gaming session, easy to pick up and put down

    Get a decent SD card, use internet archive to get some rom sets (the set below is a good start for PS1 and older).

    I also used a program called chdman to do some conversion of the compressed ROM files for some systems, probably some of the other roms I had downloaded to fill in some gaps in the sets iirc

        I’ve got some N64 games loaded on it and they work. I haven’t tried any GameCube ones. I mostly play ps1 and ps2 games on it. It played the ps1 games flawlessly, but it does lag sometimes on the ps2 games occasionally.

        I also really enjoy using steam link with it to play controller friendly games over wifi when I’m home.
