Anyone here into handheld emulators? Got a Retroid Pocket 3+ and guess I need to set it up? (hexbear.net)

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?

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 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!

Sick! Whats Retro Game COrps?

He has a pretty comprehensive handheld emulation based YouTube channel. Don't feel like fucking with YT? His website has actual free guides on how to set up specific devices, and they are painstakingly precise.

Awesome, thanks much!

If you can set it up on your phone, you can definitely handle setting up the rp3. I got one a few months ago and I love it.

Right on! Any experience using it for Gamecube/N64? Hoping to be able to play some of the old Smash games on the go

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.
