Tuesday I got my Rp5 (12gb+128) version in, I mainly been using it for “DroidDeck” and play store games. I love it so far my most “premium” android device I’ve had. I feel like I’m not using it right or how I should be using it since I’m mainly using it for just lite steam titles and Android App Store games, does anyone else do this with their device?

I installed ARMSX2 on my P3+ but I can't get it to work through the launcher. I tried side loading it and installing it through the play store. I went in the settings for the ps2 and made a profile for the emulator but no matter what I do it it says Launcher Fail. Does anyone have any ideas?

QUESTION 3DS vs RP DUO

3 Upvotes

I really want a dual screen handheld, but I can't decide what to pick, a "new" 3DS or a RP duo.

I want to firstly clarify that I already got the old 3DS XL from someone from family, but because it doesnt have a second stick, and other buttons, I am afraid I won't be able to use it much. I want a travel handheld. I wish there was a device that can get from both worlds, but there is no such handheld.

the 3DS gives you the huge 3DS library, all games running perfectly, a huge modding scene, and the nintendo charm. but it can't run modern games like Celeste, Stardew Valley, etc; and it has a low resolution display.

on the other hand, the RP duo can run modern games like Celeste, Stardew Valley, Minecraft AND 3DS games. But a major flaw is that it does not give a smooth experience like the 3DS. It can stutter, you need to change settings all the time.

I have a feeling it's intentional to invoke the PSP Nostalgia which if it's true then kinda nailed it, I like the Silver look it, it looks very metallic.

SHOWCASE Questions about my rp6

1 Upvotes

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?

QUESTION Retroid Pocket Classic - Fan on while charging?

1 Upvotes

I've not had my Classic long, but whenever it's charging or connected to the PC, the fan kicks in with a really whiny noise - even when the fan is set to off. Is that supposed to happen? I can understand it when I'm trying to run something demanding, but when it's just charging?

Please tell me I'm just missing something from the settings!

QUESTION Which dual screen to get

1 Upvotes

I am at a fork in the rock and don’t know which dual screen to get. I love the form factor of the duo lite but the performance of duo/thor. Here’s my conundrum I hate retro handhelds that have switch style triggers (I even hate them in my switch). I keep my handheld in my pocket and want it smooth. I mainly use the handheld to play gba/3DS/GC games. My current go to is the mini flip for gba and older titles.

What handheld would be the best?

Howdy. I'm on a G2. Was working fine until last night, now no controls register at all in the Luna app. Is yours working?

This is it

This happened to me. Try this:

The Chrome Flag Fix (Highly Recommended)
You can directly change the specific browser setting causing the block: [1]
Open a new tab in Chrome, type chrome://flags into the address bar, and press Enter.
In the search box at the top, type: Extra axes for unknown gamepads.
Change its setting from Default to Disabled.
Tap the Relaunch button at the bottom of the screen to restart Chrome.
Go back to Amazon Luna and test your games.

QUESTION Retroid Pocket 6 fan not working even after opening/reseating the cable. Any fix?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm having a major issue with my Retroid Pocket. The cooling fan is completely dead and refuses to spin at all.

Here is what I have tried so far:

* Updated to the latest FOTA firmware.

* Switched between all fan profiles (Smart, Sport) in the settings.

* Launched demanding games to force the console to heat up.

* Opened the console up and carefully disconnected/reconnected the fan cable to the motherboard.

Despite all of this, the fan remains completely still.

Has anyone encountered this issue? Is it more likely a dead fan or a motherboard connector problem? I already emailed Retroid support, but I wanted to check if the community has any troubleshooting tips or if there is a known hardware fix for this.

Thanks for any help!

QUESTION Achat retroid pocket 6

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'm planning to buy the Retroid Pocket 6. I live in France and I'd like to know which shipping method you used, i.e., 4px or DHL. Which one is better? How long did delivery take? Did you have to pay VAT? I see many people in posts saying they didn't have to pay it when using 4px. Also, I'd like to know if the "free purchase" option is worthwhile and which payment method is better and more secure: PayPal or credit card.

Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions, and sorry if there are too many.
