Heya. I have a (used) Odin Lite and I think that if you search around pretty good you won't find a better device for a 100 dollar price tag! Ps2, N64. All playable on a nice sized screen. Still I'm looking forward to the retroid pocket 5 to get some added colors on screen and higher resolutions. 🎉
You don't have a Retro gaming device?? 😢 Or, Do you just not have an ANDROID... retro gaming device? Meaning you have a Linux or a windows Or some other operating system based retro gaming device?
This is very timely, I was just staring at my half-configured Odin 2 thinking I would never get through the setup and just play one system on it… thanks TechDweeb!❤
pretty good guide for beginners, i use a separate fork of yuzu which i am not going to name, that required me to make a custom system file along with messing with the config, I would love to see a dedicated es-de video
I haven't used the DIG frontend in yrs but last time I did it was the best and easiest frontend I ever used...and it was FREE. It boggles my mind how there are hardly any videos that don't recommend it.
super helpful. i'm not a very techy guy, and i really want to get an RG406V after watching your review (i desperately want portable panzer dragoon saga). appreciate your videos. helpful and good, goofy humor. cheers!
For the last few months I've been sitting for 12 hours a night in the oil fields. Waiting for something at my site to require my attention, once a week I have to do something, otherwise I'm basically dedicating 12 hours of my night to watching movies and gaming, that being said, I've had the chance to do more Android based emulation Gaming of sixth generation consoles than any other time, and I've gotten really comfortable with it. So comfortable in fact That I think I finally gave up my 20+ year search for a for a Linux based handheld that can run all pS2 at full frames with no issues for $150 and bought a Samsung Galaxy tab S8 ultra And popped a 1 TB card in there. I've been slowly working with daijisho and getting it up and running. And it's a slow progress with me, I Do have experience with running emulation station on a raspberry Pi 3B+ and might consider installing it on this device.But I'm a cheapy and don't like paying for stuff LOL I haven't quite gotten it set up perfectly... by far and there are still a number of emulators I wish to download like turbografx CD. Great tutorial, I thoroughly enjoyed watching😊
@@TechDweeb OMG right! unfortunately I've been on a Sega run for a while right now, finally played through EGG for the Dreamcast last month on my pixel 6a and just figured out 2 days ago how to transfer my Dragon Force for Saturn save file from my 6a to my, JUST purchased a week ago, Galaxy Tab s8! GREAT game btw, looks fantastic on S8 ultra!! may also play Dragon Force II as I have the translated iso and DEFINITELY want to play Panzer Dragoon Saga again and maybe get past disk two this time! =P
(1) This is great! Thank you. (2) I've got a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, and while I'm pretty happy with the setup, one of the things I've found challenging is setting up each retro system with an overlay and video filter (CRT mimicry, etc) that looks good on that system, and it seems like everybody's tutorials on that (Retro Game Corps, etc) are tailored for Linux handhelds. Do you have bezel/shader sets that you particularly like for 16:9 Android handhelds? Or just a good repository for them?
I personally use Beacon for a front end, but this might have just sold me for Emulation Station. While I'm not jumping from device to device as often since I'm not doing reviews so I can just use a device till it dies. But having to scrape the data again every time I do get a new device sucks. Like it's some times tempting to just not bother. The idea of just having the SD card already set up sounds so nice.
first handheld i got was the Retroid Pocket 2S, spent a bit over a month just making configurations before I actually got to play my first game. I don't understand why these companies don't include some starter manual , even if only for retroarch which operates like a damn spaceship
The problem IS retroarch. I hate it and don't really use anything that's tied to it. There are other frontends that make the whole process a lot easier and cleaner...not to mention that retroarch is a huge memory hog so if your device has low ram as it is, retroarch will use up most of it and cause your games to abruptly crash.
Thank dweeb I was watching one ur videos..and I was I hope he makes a video on how to set up android..and voila...u did it..ur a wizard thank u..so much..no I can buy my rg406v
Watched the whole video, but I'm still thinking about those Lay's Potato Chips which are made with just 3 ingredients: potatoes, salt, and vegetable oil. I mean, whoever created that simple recipe is genius!
Great video! Now I want to go out and get some chips. Is it safe to say I could just load up my 1.5 Tb micro SD card and move it back and forth on multiple Android hh?
Pro Tipp: Depending on your device its usually worth it to go out of your way and get the EU/PAL Versions of Bios and Games for Systems like PS2 or Gamecube, especially if you have somthing like the RG406V, the Cube, or something like that wich caps out at GC and PS2 Reason for that being that the EU/PAL Versions usually run at 50fps (instead of 60fps for USA/NTSC), so you can expect less stress on your hardware and better performance with PAL.
I don't think I have ever heard Mr. Dweeb cover something so quickly, even though this was a 15 minute video :p Were you a car salesman in a past life?
The what is "three plus three divided by 3"equal to" is a trick question. The way people speak, they don't indicate order of operation. They could mean (3 + 3) / 3 = 2 OR 3 + 3 / 3 = 4
@TechDweeb damn, stupid YT. I guess this is what happens when you haven't finished a comment and YT autoplays the next video. Enjoy the engagement algorithm bonus.
I went back to Daijisho because ES-DE makes my device warm by just scrolling games at it. Also it's more lightweight and support different internal and sdcard location support. Just my opinion
Can I have some roms folder on SD Card and some on Internal ? I mean, normally on the PC (and ES-DE) it is a matter of manually adjusting config, to point to proper drive+directory. I hope it's possible on Android too :) then I'll be able to switch my Odin 2 from Dajhshou to ES-DE like on the desktop, windows handheld etc. :)
Hey dweeb do you also have a similar guide for android phones? I have a oneplus 7t pro I wish to convert into a console for my son but I don't know where to start from!
Hey, just wondering, does this work on android phones as well. The only issue I can think of is that you'd have to download the ROMs directly from the phone.
i just got the pocketdmg i have my retroid pocket setup like yours. can i just grab that sd card and pop it in the pocket dmg and everything will be there or do i have to now follow ur video and do it all over again
Something that bugs me and would be helpful to know: Is it possible to transfer box art etc from say Windows, to Android, to Linux and between the various distros? For example, I originally scrapped a bunch of art on my PC, but could never figure out how to move it between DaiJiSho, Emulation Station, and wherever else I want to put it.
Is there a way to copy the android emulator folders from one device to another so you don’t need to reason those (and can just copy those folders from as to the new device? That would be cool! 😎
They can be, but that's one extra step - you need to create a saves and states folder on the card, and point Retroarch to that in Settings>Directories.
I have a problem with ES-De... i have a rp4 pro and i use (under daijisho) both the internal storage and the sd card to storage roms... and i haven't found a way to make ES-DE to be able to select multiple directories for roms... that's the only thing preventing me from using it as main frontend... have i missed something or there is no way to do so?
I'm sad because my dad is unwell and things are very tense. Seeing this video was a nice opportunity for some respite for 15 minutes. Thanks Dweeb ❤️
Hope your dad gets better soon
his liked like ever comment but yours lol
I’ve been playing on Android for a while but I still watch these setup videos and usually learn one or two things I can try differently.
Please, hear me out y'all.
RetroArch > Settings > User Interface > On-Screen Notifications
Turn "Scale Graphics Widgest Automatically" to OFF
Set "Graphics Widgets Scale Override" to 0.50x
You won't have the screen BOMBARDED with popups now when you start games as seen at @13:52
Great video though.
I've done this a ton of times and just wanted to see what your settings were.
ES-DE is a great project. I've bought it, mainly to support the project.
Thanks! Yes, interested in more es-de and this overall standardizing theme
These type of videos are invaluable for us dweeb minions 🤓
Nintendo hears its name in Dweeb's video and then copyright strikes Russ as punishment.
Me watching that video just because I like to hear Tech Dweeb speaking even though I don't have an Android retrohandheld device...

I refer to it as "Daily Dose of Dweeb", or DDD for short.
@@theshepard22the Odin lite is still a great handheld
You nailed it. I have an Anbernic 556 on the way. I’ve watched this video so many times to go to sleep to. Good night🎉
You don't have a Retro gaming device?? 😢
Or, Do you just not have an ANDROID... retro gaming device?
Meaning you have a Linux or a windows Or some other operating system based retro gaming device?
Right in time for the RP5 to release!
Already bought one still waiting for it to even ship.
RP5 linux will be available
This is very timely, I was just staring at my half-configured Odin 2 thinking I would never get through the setup and just play one system on it… thanks TechDweeb!❤
Just wanted to say thank you for keeping me entertained with every video you drop. Keep doing your thing dweeb, you're killing it. 👍
Always appreciate hard work put into a good guide.
pretty good guide for beginners, i use a separate fork of yuzu which i am not going to name, that required me to make a custom system file along with messing with the config, I would love to see a dedicated es-de video
Looking at picking up the RP5 as my first device. Thanks for a solid guide to get me started. Now I just need chips....
That'll be an awesome handheld to start with!
Yes make more for this. I’m really interested in getting an RP mini and how to set it up. Thanks man.
I haven't used the DIG frontend in yrs but last time I did it was the best and easiest frontend I ever used...and it was FREE. It boggles my mind how there are hardly any videos that don't recommend it.
I made a few. It was my favourite frontend before ES:DE came along.
Great tutorial. I’ll be using this Friday with the Mini arrives.

You're a Saint. I have been struggling to like my Gameforce Ace and I think you just gave me hope. 🙌
@techdweeb I'd love to see a video on ES-DE! Thank you so much I feel like I know what I'm doing now!
Thank you sir for the video. Now I can enjoy my chips and patiently wait for rp5.
Been waiting on this one for a while, thanks TD.
Hope it helps! Hit me up if you get stuck 😘
Thanks for the video, will be using it and Russ’s guides for an RP5
Lay's better pay you for that expert promo
This is great! Just bought a powkiddy x28 and need a guide I could follow! Super timely! 👍
Taking mental notes even though i know exactly what im doing and use a similar method.
I love the Spaceballs reference for passwords at 7:37.
I'm glad someone noticed that :P
Tech King is back in action it’s setup time
You know, even if you don't have any android handheld device, you can apply these tips to any android device which can install ESDE.
Thank you so much. I will "re-setup" my device, as ES-DE was not working like it should. Hopefully, this is the ticket.
0:54 product placement, Tech Dweeb is selling out!!!

If the setup is too long you just don't use it.

This will be good for that new one you just reviewed that I’m going to get as it’ll be my first android handheld.

They are a gift to mankind
You're an absolute legend 💪
let's start with the first step, which I call step one.... Loughed till tears appeared.
Tech dweeb is awesome!!
Great video! Now I want to go out and get some chips. Is it safe to say I could just load up my 1.5 Tb micro SD card and move it back and forth on multiple Android hh?
I'm pretty sure some droid devices have an SD card size limit, don't they?
Bro, your mom buys you chips?
Nice.

Review coming soon!
My rg406v rework was a big mess. I thought I ruined it but I managed to get things 95% going well. I did daijisho though
which device is this? it looks perfect
RP Mini! (Review coming soon)
@@TechDweeb awesome~
Does ESDE work for the 40XXV? Linux based? This is amazing.
A part 2 could delve into managing game saves. Kind of a hassle most emulators store saves in different locations.
This is soo funny cuz i just talked about an Android device to my frend and sayd that i will look into it and now the grandmaster posted this
Can you recommend this setup on my Retroid Pocket 3+?
Definitely!
Love how he uses the Retroid pocket mini without actually reviewing it yet
Lays sponsorship when
Whats the best android device.. not for retro gaming but for general android gaming
Any plan to do an RP mini review?
Yup!
@@TechDweeb Awesome! I'm looking forward to using this video to configure the mini 😃
Can you do the same type of video for setting up a portable windows gaming handheld??!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hey dweeb do you also have a similar guide for android phones? I have a oneplus 7t pro I wish to convert into a console for my son but I don't know where to start from!
Exactly the same process. I'd recommend getting a telescopic controller and following the rest of this guide exactly.
I spent 15 minutes thinking you'd go into detail about ES-DE 😂
I would actually REALLY appreciate a more comprehensive guide on setting up controls for wii. I can only sorta make it work for some games.
Haha it's such a pain. Seems like every game needs a different setup. I should probably make a guide explaining it though.
Hey, just wondering, does this work on android phones as well. The only issue I can think of is that you'd have to download the ROMs directly from the phone.
Yup! Easy to add your roms by plugging it into your PC.
Please make a full ES-DE video!

Yup!
All you need are the emulators APK
Where is the link to the learning hats?? I cant even get to step one??
Best wishes.
Is Daijisho basically dead? It keeps breaking long after I setup my device. Should I switch to ES-DE?
I can’t believe Dweeb sold out to big chip!
Can I have some though?
I have already scrapped boxart for my roms, where do I put those files where ES-DE can use them?
Does the APK keep coming into our mailbox? Is that what you were saying? I definitely need that more than once. And I have already signed up before.
Yeah, you'll get updates via email with the link to the latest download.
Hey TD! are the save states/files also kept on the sd card?
They can be, but that's one extra step - you need to create a saves and states folder on the card, and point Retroarch to that in Settings>Directories.
