You keep stepping up your ad game like this, I'm gonna need a highlight reel. This stuff is too good Bob wtf.
Sup, KO here
Better yet, no ads at all😍
Def makes the best ads - this one and the pizza one are hilarious and brilliant, while actually making me want to try the products
The only one that comes close is Internet Historian.
Nintendo should immediately accuse this illegal guy.
why not???
Wulf Den: I set up my phone as an emulator.
2011: Welcome. Glad you made it.
Lmao. Was just thinking this.
Lol

Bahb is totally right that it makes no sense to buy an Android phone just to emulate games. But for those of us who already have an Android and an 8bitdo controller, it's a lot harder to spend another hundred bucks on a dedicated emulation box.
Great video!!
None of these little handhelds are a hundred bucks anyway. Will be nice when a handheld can emulate up to PS2 3-4x native for about 150 😁
IDK. I've been emulating games on my new phone and I'm thinking more and more about changing it to a higher end in order to have more power to emulate other games. The greatest thing about it is being able to emulate different brands of consoles in the same place. I was thinking about buying a Switch, but now I'm more inclined to spend the same money on a high end smartphone than in a portable that will only run Nintendo games.
@@zerocal76mbernic makes one that’s 60 and the rest made by everyone else is above 120. there might be some around 150 that definitely run ps one but i don’t know about ps2
It actually is the absolute best choice to buy an Android phone for emulation. There is no single device more powerful, or with broader emulation range. PC emulation on Android is in full swing and renders everything else redundant
@@-pROvAKWell there's the AYN odin 2 that's running on SD gen 2 and prices at only $250.
HOWEVER. Knowing the company's history, this really sounds too good to be true. Many people are still complaining about many unshipped odin 1.
So the controller that looks and functions like a joy-con has drifting issues? 🤔
Ah yes, the true joy-con experience
I hope Nintendo sues them to oblivion for stealing their patent for Joy-Con Drift ™️
You can't escape the joy-con curse
@@alexsilva28 🙄😂😂
It is not actual stick drift, it is the controller occasionally forgetting to send a command.
This the main reason I use Android over ios

@@funfromabove9728 that too
I think a really important thing to note though over the dedicated handhelds for emulation is that the phone is so much more flexible. It's like the argument pc players make that you can use it for a lot more.
Want to play android games too? Cool. Want to set it up to listen to podcasts or music, if you have limited space on your main phone this could be an option. In a pinch when traveling, if your main phone dies you can just throw your Sim card in this (pack a sim ejection tool), and you have a fully charged device. You main phone breaks, you can use this one in the meantime while you wait for a replacement.
I don't like to use phone for emulation because i prefer to not spend battery with games, just save it for another uses and emergences. I like to have my phone and 1 portable with me. Some times i carry my PSP, sometimes New 3DS, Ps Vita, but never Nintendo Switch, it's too big. Even the PS Vita I think is big, close to my limit size.
I used to use ípega 9087 for emulation, but the high input lag and my way of thinking that I just mentioned made me just abandon it, along with deleting all the emulators from my phone.
@@henrique4225 good point, guess it just depends on use case
Exactly... I just needed another phone to have a backup for all my 2-step authentication crap. The way I had things setup, if I ever lost my phone, I'd lose access to everything. Not anymore. The fact that the 2nd phone can act as a dedicated gaming handheld is a huge bonus.
I can also think of people who use their phone for content creation. It's always helpful to have a 2nd phone for extra battery-life or even to record 2 angles of the same footage, or use one phone to record yourself doing something on the other phone, etc.
Agree! I'm an iPhone person, but was able to pick up a lightly used Moto G and a GameSir X2 pro for under $200 and the phone has a lot more capability (actually kinda forgot how good Android can be) Also the screens on the gaming handhelds are just sorta meh. It can emulate up to PS1 well, haven't tried PS2.
@@joquerol My main phone is a samsung s23 ultra and my secondary phone is a samsung s21 fe. Even if both of them are too strong for emulation i use them for my job. I need many phone calls, emails, messages, viber with both of them. S23 ultra is used for handwriting notes and photos too. So i need a 3rd emulation device for my games. A phone with t618 cpu costs like the same as my retroid pocket 3 plus. But its already made with controllers, and running cooler than a phone with the same cpu. So i cant see the reason to buy a 3rd android device for emulation...
I just installed lemuroid and started to use my phone as a portable emulator, so this is like a dream episode
I usually use a GBA emulator but Lemuroid is better than my old emulator 🤣
The madlad finally converted to the smartphone gaming atmosphere 🙌😭
Bob when the pandemonium is over we gotta hangout and make some ads, you gotta show me how you light your shots, I’m only a hop skip away
That would be awesome to see
It’s been over
@@roman7954 Definitely not.
@@2S2F1 yeah lol wtf
Hey, KO here
When retro games become too expensive (prices going up), I already have an android phone and emulation has been amazing (with slight lag once in a while). I use a Razer Kishi, and it's great.
You should have a separate video with just your ad spots on it. Your video quality of your ads are awesome. You're one of the few TH-camrs I watch the ads because they're so good and interesting.
I've had this device for a while, thanks for the info on the apps you use! Definitely gonna set it up like that
3:15 Wulff is an expert on doing the sponsored/ad segments in his videos in the most entertaining way 😂
Bob out here having every emulated system in existence.
Now we need Wii U.
@@TheGreatOwlMaster well we have switch emulation (not all games work and you need a really powerful device)
One of the smartest things I did regarding emulation was using my old Samsung Galaxy A20 for emulation after I bought a more up-to-date phone. My A20 is a damn good emulation machine for everything from 8-bit games to PS1 and PSP games, and a few PS2 games too. Just recently, after a retro gaming expo, I dusted off my A20 and synched it up to my Ipega Wolverine, and I went to town. Between the PSP and PS1 games alone, I’ve been having a field day. And obviously, every 8-bit and 16-bit game you can name is at my disposal. While a Retroid or something similar is almost tempting, I’m realizing that with my Android phone, I have all the emulation power I need right now.
That’s what I’m using. My old a20 and it’s working very well. I never will pay 200 for an emulator
I have an old Samsung Galaxy S9 I want to use, but unfortunately don't have a clue where to start. Any hints or tips?
This vid is sick, I have newfound hope for a clean looking emulation setup. Thanks for posting it!
Bob, you're also forgetting you have 8bitdo SNES controllers that you love, that can play the emulators well, only requires you to purchase the phone clip if you dont have it yet. And it gives you acces to the headphone jack.
Yep, I do this with the 8bitdo
SN30 pro 2. Awesome controller with a great clip. I get all the performance I need from my phone along with a (somewhat) large OLED display. The Pro 2 is such a comfortable controller for me.
I on the other hand hate clips, the whole contraption is too unwieldy for me. Still don't have a controller shaped like these Razer products, though, so I can make a final conclusion for myself.
@@youzernejm The SN30 pro does get a bit unwieldy since the controller is difficult to hold with the weight of the phone hanging over. However the Pro+ and Pro2 both have the controller grip legs make the setup easier to handle since you can use your entire handgrip to leverage the weight of the phone and the controller.
@@Robodob0 100% yes! I had an older SFC30 I tried this with originally and found it uncomfortable because it was too top heavy. The Pro+ and Pro 2 are essential for my use because of the grips. Also, the phone clip is awesome on the Pro 2.
@@youzernejm I do agree that the controller and clip combo is a little unwieldy when it comes to the little things like setting it down (I have to set mine on a stand to keep it from pressing the triggers) or traveling. I would say it's handheld but not portable.
Hey Bob, I always love your videos. One random thing I appreciate about you is you don't talk in the same artificial tone that some youtubers do. You sound natural and interesting to listen to. Keep it up
huh, ive been watching this channel for a while and i cant put a finger why i keep on coming back besides the good content/editing which is a given, this might be it tbh.
He's a good actor
thanks for the info Bob! I wanted to get back into emulating on my android but didn't know where to start :)
I love how Bob used the Razer phone 2 case for the pixel. Cut them plastic out, if it fits it sits.
Another good controller for android which also has an option for iphone is the gamesir x2. They have a version for each iphone and android that just uses the charing port for power or a bluetooth verson thay works for both. The style i think makes it look like a switch. Id check one of those out for emulation too. Works well
I adore my PSP and 3DS for most of my emu needs. Super easy once you get it all set up, and I love the hardware. Emulation definitely brings new life to old hardware. Now I can’t wait for a software mod to hit Switch 🤔
Switch CFW has been around for years, but the main problem is that you basically need a launch day switch to install it because nintendo patched it super quickly. As far as I know there’s still nothing universal which is really disappointing.
I fucking love the 3DS for emulation, native GBA and DS are great
@@thepuff_vods7618 yeah, that’s exactly what I’m waiting for. I’m patient for it and have the 3DS and Wii U to hold me over 😅
I have a lauch switch...im actually trying to get a end all phone one one day.
I wana sel the switch and maybe my moded oled vita. Just need to be able to emu on 1 and good. I jave a lim edition hyrule 3dsxl moded also. All set up with ftp, i can do all file transfers for them on my phone.
Bro bobs videos are so chill dude. the music, the edits, EVERYTHINGGG poggers/10
Totally agree that this is probably the best option that's out right now (assuming you already have a phone for it). I recently turned my old Samsung Galaxy S9 into one of these and have been using it to play anything up to the Dreamcast (as well as some PS5 and PC through streaming) and love it. In fact, I've actually been using it and the built in screen recorder on my phone to record gameplay for reviews on my channel (which look great, given the 1080p recording and the 19Mbps bitrate)
Dig is definitely worth figuring out. It's flexible to where you can choose the background images and music for individual systems or however you'd like. A good idea is to use one of the themes that's closest to what you'd like and adjust it from there. There are good tutorials on youtube and with 30 mins of tinkering you can make your dream frontend
Dig seems to confuse which iso or rom goes with which console and I can't figure out how to edit it manually. Can you help me?
If i hear correctly, the shaks controller works on just about every phone because it spring clips into a phone, it has analog controls and triggers, and it even converts into a pseudo mini portable controller for everything with the phone taken out.
and it's one of the better controllers in terms of deadzone from what i hear too.
LMAO, I subscribed because of that Lumin add man. Laughed so hard at it. Also your content is excellent.
Whoa! Thanks for the shoutout! Amazing video as always - keep being awesome!

I hope you get paid extra for your ad spots. Always stick around to watch what you came up with now 🍻
High quality 👍
Been doing it for years. I use My Boy and Drastic for GBA and DS support. Paired with an 8bito pro + with the phone grip, gets the job done easy
Ew myboy

Thanks for posting you always post a lot of valuable information your reviews are spot on. Thanks to this video I started using my phone along with the Razer Kishi for emulators and its great. I love being able to play 8 and 16 bit oldies on the go or just lounging at home on my couch
I've been emulating on my Android for years. I love it, don't play to many platformers. But I love the ability to basically play whatever I want. Also the kishi has some issues with some emulators, but still the best emulator controller for me.
What app do you have to play the games?
The Lumin ad was comedic gold.
I laughed, I cried, I was entertained.
lmfao
If I didn't know better, I would've assumed those shots were provided to him by Lumin lol
6:15 just a small correction, the kishi is just for passthrough charging, you cant connect adapters to it, for example USB-C to headphone jack etc.
Great video! Helped a lot! thanks :D
Bob's ads are literally the only ones I actually enjoy watching even if I don't have the money or the interest for basically any of the products
Great video as always Bob! I'm using a Pixel 4 XL that I got on the used market for $120 and just ordered the USB version of the GameSir X2 with the actual D-pad. The Pixel 4 can do 3DS everything you demoed in this video. Plus it has a beautiful OLED screen, and all for about $160! I think for the price it definitely beats out every dedicated emulator out there.
I'm using a Pixel 4a and I'm loving it! It can handle Dreamcast and Gamecube
Android emulation is why I loved the GPD-XD so much. Shame it's not in a more solid form factor like the Anbernic systems
That's quite informative... Thanks... Review the Backbone controller for the iPhone
I need to see this, i have an old LG v50 that was in my room i will converted in a retro gaming console THIS WAS GREAT! thanks man, like and new subscriber!!!!
As someone who has spend an unhealthy amount of time learning to set up retroarch on pc and android, I welcome you to the life, lol. It's great after you learn everything, but it takes a while. Don't even start about syncing saves among devices with yet another app. I had a great time before my telescopic controller stopped working, hope I find a cheap kishi someday
16:21 it has a full arch installation with KDE, yes it'll be an emulation powerhouse.
it might even be capable of switch emulation.
I bought a Kishi Razer and installed Lemuroid and love it. thanks.
Yo thanks for the shoutout! Totally unexpected and awesome.
the fact is most of the handheld won't be perfect without you channel guide.
Dude the ad was amazing, I’m probably never going to buy the product cus I’m not in that market but I’ll never forget the brand because of this ad 😂
I have a 1st-gen Razer Phone with a Mobi controller and a Vita with CFW. I must admit, I don't use them and actually prefer to buy re-releases on newer consoles. Not sure why, but once I get over the novelty of having all these games at my disposal, I have no desire to actually use them. I will probably feel the same way whenever I get around to modding one of my 3DS systems, and also if I ever pick up a dedicated emulation handheld.
I get what you mean I myself take more pleasure hacking my consoles and tweaking things than actually playing games after all my tweaking.
So it sounds to me that you enjoy the hardware aspects of emulation more than the actual emulation itself lol
Same. I went through all of the trouble of getting a flagship Android and a Gamesir for portable emulation. It was fun and exciting getting everything set up. But ultimately I found that I would rather just enjoy the games I already have on my Switch because using a phone doesn't feel like an authentic and immersive gaming experience. There was just too much tinkering involved getting the game run the best that it could. Also, I just have a different mindset using a phone than a dedicated gaming device. I do enjoy my CFW Vita and 3DS though, but not so much for the retro emulation aspect.
@@biokrash Probably. It's also a bit of a pain to remember what I'm supposed to do when I'm jumping back into one of my modded systems. What directory do I put the save states in again? Which drive has to be mounted before the games show back up? Then again, if I actually used them more, that probably wouldn't be such a problem.
Yeah i don't get why i do this. Smh something wrong with us
You remind me of a vampire, especially during that lotion commercial you shot. I say this in the best way possible. I watch and love all your videos! Keep up the great work!
How do you keep coming up with great videos of such high quality? Thank you for the effort you put in!
I'd say pick-up a x2 controller. It comes in a Bluetooth model and USB c. Fits any and every phone. Comes with a carrying case and of course the Bluetooth one needs charging (through USB c) and the built in USB c uses pass through charging..
I actually use separate apps for every emulator but then I use Reset Collection front end. It also downloads all the art and separate the systems.
This was a good watch, and I wish the Lemuroid devs the best of luck. But I'm honestly conflicted
given the recent news around Libretro, the team behind RetroArch not being exactly nice to emu devs
as they claim publicly. Real bummer too, just recently started using RA to cover all my emu needs
its a shame I loved using retroarch but all of the rumored stories of retroarch devs being rude to devs with is a shame.
Off the bat, you have a fire intro. Wow, I'm super inspired to revamp some of ours now LOL
Wish I found this video last year. I'm loving this
And here I'm planning to do just this with the steam deck lol.
i was thinking about the deck too and then i realised that i can just stream steam games to my phone and i can emulate everything else
@@ronnorhgih3265 Game streaming won't work everywhere, the steam deck is different to that.
Wolff Den: you should know retroarch has many UI themes. One theme is similar to the ps3 interface and is way easier to use with controllers. It also download the box arts for all the games.
The ultimate is launch box for android. You download the individual emulators and retroarch to your phone. And set launch box to use those emulators. It’s a front end with a great UI and you can add dolphin, redream, or any emulator to it. Anytime you click a game it will utilize that emulator you specified. ETA Prime did a great video on it. Takes some initial set up but when you’re done it’s flawless and easy.
Personally I cant stand Retroarch cause a lot of the stuff you just mentioned and the stuff Bob mentioned you have to do manually so downloading the box art needs to be done manually downloading updates for cores has to be done on a core by core basis downloading cores is also kinda a pain cause If you have no clue about about retro emulation like me then you just don't know how each of the dozens of SNES emulators are different.
Also not having separate settings for each emulator sucks cause you very much need to be able to change the resolution with PPSSPP also one thing that wont apply to most people but absolutely applies to me is the fact that you can't mod games that can be modded with the normal emulator so for instance PPSSPP and Mesen emulator let you mod the visuals for games so in my case I played Daxter with a retexture and I played Metroid and the original Zelda with updated sprites that make the visuals look more along the lines of SNES games.
And kinda the biggest thing for me is they really don't make it easy at all to change the UI design and I can't stand the PS3 UI I never liked it for the original system and I don't like it now and Retroarch would benefit greatly from just being like newer emulators like RPCS3 or Cemu and just running in a normal program window instead of being way too extra and having a whole as big screen mode like Steam that emulates the look of a dated ass system like the PS3.
@@theninjamaster67 Launchbox will download all of the box art for you.
I really appreciate the time you took to make this video. It really gives a good perspective on the current state of Android emulation.
This is a great video thanks for uploading
Holy crap. Lemuroid is amazing. With no effort at all it emulates ogre battle 64 better than anything I've tried so far
i play n64 on my phone with a ps4 controller and every game i've tried has worked perfectly. i have ogre battle 64 on there but haven't tried it yet.
@@Jack_80 lol,same
I wish there was 32x support, but other than that, it's my favorite app on F-droid
I had a lotta fun using lemuroid on my Sony android but when I tried to use it on my new Google pixel its wouldn't find any games I had downloaded on it
Can i play it using a ps5 controller or xbox core controller?
As for what I think about android emulation, I will say this:
Galaxy s10e + Razer Kishi = Amazing emulation up to Nintendo Wii
I mainly play Arcade, SNES, N64, Dreamcast, 3DS, GameCube and Wii on my phone, but it does them all nearly flawlessly.
Actually, I just went back literally the day before writing this message, and downloaded an old Pokemon game and a GBA emulator and within 5 minutes, I was up and playing.
There isn't a device on the market right now that can run all the emulators that a Snapdragon 845/855/865/888 phone can run at a better price than what you can buy a used phone for.
This is the first vid I've watched on your channel. The intro was awesome, but you had me at "Lumin" 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣. I'm 2 minutes into your vid as I type this and my sub has been well earned. 🤙🏽
Speaking to my heart with Power Stone! 😍
2022 really was a huge jump in handheld emulators…
Same! Too bad the AeathurSX2's development got cancelled because of death threats.
@@prestonanderson1719 yeah it sucks man talreth (the developer) isn't free from criticism and he did do some questionable things but not to the extent of death threats at all
@@yottabyte1152 Yeah that is true I haven't heard about the developer when I wrote that comment.
YES! Let's normalize men using skincare. I love to see a gaming channel advertising skincare. If you need skin youtube channel recommendations, I would send you to Cassandra Bankson, Dr. Dray, Mixed Makeup (Susan Yara), Dr. Alexis Stephens, Lab Muffin Beauty Science, and Hyram. Great skincare advice for all genders! :)
As an acne prone 26 year old male, I really appreciated Bob's ad. If I don't cleanse twice a day, my skin is a hot mess.
I don't really need an ad for this, I just put on my face what my wife tells me to put on. Of course not everyone has a wife
I stay dirty 24/7
Thanks for the recommendations!
Men don't need skincare we are ugly as f
You're using pretty much my set-up at one point here. I've got a Google Pixel 3 and picked up a Kishi on sale a few months ago for Game Pass stuff, but it's a great set-up for emulation. Super happy with it.
Does it run yuzu
you have the best takes. tru fax
So fun story I ordered an rg350m after seeing the review here.
While I was waiting for it I decided to install retroarch on the vita to saciante my craving for retro games on the go.
The problem is that after trying the vita everything else is a letdown
The screen is perfect for upscaling
The oled display is amazing and everything else feels like a letdown after. It's so good in fact I want to get a oled switch because the current switch screen felt like a downgrade from the vita.
And the button layout and dpad are perfect.
I can't believe how expensive the vita has got. It really sucks because its the ultimate retro gaming machine :/ and I can't say enough good things about the modded vita
Bob, you might also want to try AetherSX2 (PS2) on your phone.
And yeah: Android-based emulators have come a long way in the past few years.
If I didn't have my GPDs already, I'd definitely use my phone for handheld gaming.
I would love to know the games on your rom list, I always have trouble figuring out which games to emulate
Great video man. I just wandered here randomly looking for something to watch while I ate and ended up watching the whole 19 minutes, and I'm not even interested in having my phone as an emulator hahaha.
Personally I haven't felt a need for a controller that attaches to the phone. I use a PS4 controller wirelessly or a usb a to usb c adapter and an iBuffalo SNES controller. Both are great. Will look into the new app as well, but it's gonna have to be pretty special to pry me away from RetroArch.
Lemuroid has been great. Wish there was a bit more setting for cores, especially psx. Best feature of lemuroid has been cloud saves.
Can i play on it using ps5 controller or xbox core controller?
For a more universal game pad attachment for phones, look at the newer GameSir controller, as long as you have a USB-C device it fits it pretty well and there's no lag issues or separate charging to figure out.. the only annoyance is dealing with control setup in your emulator apps.
The frase "just use and android phone" makes sense because most peoples already just have it. I hapen to have an dual screen lg and a joycon style controllers that so my day to day phone, is already an perfect emulation station
Also should be noted, the choppy emulation may not be the emulator itself and could be because of the age of your phone. The pixel 3a is 3 generations old now, and A-line of pixels are the budget versions of the pixels already on top of that.
This is why the Apple eco system is so much more reliable. Android over releases *on* too many devices with their software on it, even to the point that Google's devices themselves (Pixel), become outdated within 3 years...
The iPhone 11 performs just as well today as it did 3 years ago. The only time this was a problem was when Apple got sued for purposely making older devices slower, via software updates, a few years ago. Thankfully they can't do that anymore.
With sideloading coming to iPhone/Apple devices soon, I think Android is going to have steep competition with people who were with them solely for open sourcing.
@@CryptoFrogg android doesn't release any devices. They just make the software.
@@derrickkorstick8984 I meant to say they release ON too many devices. It’s the same concept as Windows, also why Windows is stringed together with spaghetti code.
@@CryptoFrogg fair enough. In defense to android phone makers (Samsung, Google) they are supporting their phones with main updater for much longer now and are catching up to Apple in that regard. And I think the perks of it being more open source outweighs the cons
@@CryptoFrogg bro does not understand the concept of budget phones😂. No shit the cheaper phone with budget chip is going to be outdated sooner than the flagship released at the same time. Samsung S10+ had sd855 and is still a powerhouse after 3 generations
This is why I started going for gaming phones. Dolphin ran with zero hitches on my ROG Phone 2 and it runs even better on my ROG Phone 5. I do a good amount of mobile emulating on my phone, and that's a very real argument for buying a gaming phone.
I have been using my old One Plus 7 since I upgraded to the 8 and honestly having the full screen for playing Gamecube game flawlessly has been a dream. I have the Funkey S for when I wanna dig away at some PS1 RPGs but the One Plus gets my recommendation.
The boos in the beginning scared the shit out of me, thought someone was behind me for a second holy shit wulf!! Didnt know jumpscares were the topic of this video lmfao
The reason why Retroarch doesn’t just give you all cores at once is because of storage space and time. Why have unnecessary cores for consoles you’re not gonna use or have multiple cores of the same system like GBA has a couple of cores, even though they are different have pros and cons with each. Time also because Retroarch at boot up has load each core that was downloaded so if you have all cores, it’ll prob take more than a minute to launch a game which they know you don’t want to wait that long so they opted this way.
bro lemuroid size is 78 MB and can run everything you want there is no reason to retroarch do this
"i don't like retroarch"
90% of the portable emulator machines you buy use retroarch, they just don't tell you.
Exactly. Retroarch is the emulation standard.
11:30 when your in a game and open the menu, scroll down to settings and click it, then under preferences select screens layout - hybrid top. this looks a whole lot better imo.
Razer Kishi is such an awesome thing. I am using it for a couple of days, and I already like it. I paired it to my Galaxy A52s, and currently playing A Plague Tale Innocence on Geforce Now. It's been a wonderful experience to me. Way more joy than playing on my PC.
I discovered PSP library through emulation on my cheap 2018 phone + 8bitdo controller.
Was pleasantly surprised how well these games still hold up.
With resolution boost they look just and play just like PS3 games.
Motorstorm Arctic Edge is the best so far, and I tried 50 titles or so :)
Here for this!
Duhh
This channel is next level
this is the best video I've watch!!!!!
I tried retro emulation on other portable devices, and all I can say is that android is the best way to do it!
i would rather carry one device, my phone, instead of having to carry two devices.
Hey Bob, my GF approves of your videos, and production value, even though she's not a gamer/geek.
She just appreciates the thoroughness, and the quality you put into your videos.
Just like I do.
You played some megaman legends and it warmed my heart
Came for the gaming tips, stayed for the "Lumin", 11/10 great service.
I greatly recommend the GameSir X2 USB-C or Bluetooth controller over any of Razer's controllers. They are well built, cost less, and are more comfortable (in my opinion). I do have a Kishi but never use it.
I'm surprised you so had a bad experience with RetroArch. It's pretty plug and play. I hope you don't have issues with Lumeroid due to incompatibilities.
And Nintendo is trying to charge 90$ a year for 10 N64 games smh
great video!, first time trying emulators on an android phone and it works great. Currently using one of those big bluetooth contrller, it;s like you mentioned, not as portable but it works great. I'll try out the apps you've mentioned that does it all in one instead of 6 emulators, thanks for a great video!
Bro...... That "boo!" At 0:50 had me bugging out fr! Sitting here in B&N thinking, "Ayo, who just walked in that all these random strangers unanimously hate?" 😂
Retroarch is actually really good, but yeah the phone UI sucks hard, ozone on any other modern device looks much better.
Moral of the video is iPhones are s#!t
Just get an Android phone
(at least for gaming)
Nice video! I keep thinking about turning my now retired phone into a emulation device but I just don't. I don't even have a really solid reason why.
Maybe I need to at least explore the option.... until my steamdeck arrives haha!
Yoooo, I got the 3a XL too! lol
I still ordered the RG351V recently though because I still want a dedicated handheld emulator. I don't want to wear out the battery on my pixel from gaming too much.
I have a Vita and I don't even play on it...
The lengths you go through just to play ahitty "MAH"rio games is nuts
Good video, great ad! Flowers appear on the table at ~14:06
The Flydigi Wee 2T has been my go to. It's a bit weird ergonomically but it telescopes to clamp your phone. My daily driver Note 20 is wide enough that I can clamp it in a vertical orientation. Playing vertically was the crucial feature that made me buy this one, since NDS was what I grew up playing. The controller also just barely fits horizontal for any other games I want to play.
