I decided to watch because Android is Android and I was curious to see if you do things differently than me. I wasn't expecting to actually learn anything and I was wrong. I feel like Zu from Retro Handhelds, "So, what did we learn today?" Well, Vita 3K looks a lot more approachable now than it did. Maybe it always was? I've never actually used it because the initial tutorials made it look like the juice wasn't worth the squeeze and then I kind of forgot about it... Thanks for that. I have zero nostalgia for the Vita. It was the console on the shelf I couldn't afford back when I'd bought my new PSP3K to replace my 1K. However, it has much newer versions of "MLB: The Show" and "Pro Yakyuu Spirits" compared to the PS2 and PSP, which makes Vita emulation relevant to me. In regards to PS2; for anyone who reads this I'd strongly encourage you to enable 16:9 output in the PS2's BIOS (Aether's Hamburger menu > Start BIOS > System Configuration) as one of the very first things you do as part of setting up AetherSX2. It is incredibly simple to do and really does make a difference. It's something that everyone should know about because it's not a hack. It's literally how the stock PS2 worked and a number of games, including some (all?) of the 'Burnout' entries, solely depended on it to enable their native widescreen options. It also won't impact 4:3 only titles. Once you've enabled this setting if the game supports native 16:9 then when you toggle the Aspect Ratio in Aether's settings to widescreen it'll be true widescreen instead of just a stretched 4:3 image. You paid for a console with a 16:9 screen, why not use it all, especially in cases where the developers intended for the game to be played that way?
Great guide especially for people who own a retro handheld for the first time, but for others who already own Retroid Pocket 3+, basically the same setup with Retroid pocket 4/4 Pro.
Joey is fast becoming my go-to as far as set up guides are concerned. So clear and easy to understand for those new to this hobby. The step-by-step on screen instructions are a godsend. Subscribed.
You reminded me of Ted Wasannasong from King of the Hill at 2:13. No insults, just made me laugh! Great video. I'm still deciding if I want the Retroid 4 Pro for emulation when I'm already using my Switch and Series S to emulate. The Retroid 4 seems like the best of both worlds
Just got mine in on the 7th and I've gotta say they've nailed the cooling system on this one; multiple hours of CoD Mobile have been played on max settings and the device simply doesn't get warm.
What an amazing walk through, thank you! As a complete novice I got through pretty easy, still struggling to get the bios right for Ether but Im sure ill get it
The only problem i had with this guide was that it wasnt mentioned that Flycast needs to be set to Vulkan. It fixes alot of the glitches with text in games. The other thing is, it doesnt mention stuff like needing cheat.db for PPSSPP, or needing the original PSP font fix.
Nice job Joey! Thanks for this tutorial! Would be nice to create a tutorial on how to safely backup our save games from these multiple systems in cloud service, like GDrive or OneDrive.
I am wondering can you do a setup for Retroid Pocket 3+ because you are easy to understand and you show what you are doing. I’m a visual person. I can’t get my PlayStation one and 2 game on it. They won’t even show up. My Sage controllers won’t work. Can someone help
I got retropocket4pro and are overwhelmed with the whole setup steps.... Is there a ready to use Android backup / custom firmware with an empty folder setup for sdcard? No adjusting of setups, only SD card with own roms,bios and ready to go.
Hi, if 128gb of storage are enough for me and do not want to buy a microSD, can i move ROMs directly on the console with the cable connected to the pc? Thanks
What switch emulator would you recommend with yuzu removed? seems like none of the forks are active, so pick one and pray someone picks up development in the future?
19:28 Hey, how does Yuzu know what what you are using? (I usually use Bluetooth) does it detect Retroids controller automatically. also, I am unable to successfully load any Saturn games outside of Yaba Shanshiro. Would you have any guides to set up any sort of Saturn emulator? Or front end outside of Yaba
Did you play the PS2 game "Pro Evolution Soccer 6" and did this game run well? And is the Display big enough to play soccer games? I am afraid that i hardly can see the ball or it is just everything too small to play this game on this device.
I downloaded a complete rom set was just wondering if i had to unzip all of the games, i have read that in some cases you dont have to? wondering if that was the case for the RP4
Thanks for the tip on Obtainium. Question: If you add the Retroarch nightly build page as a source, does this mean that the device will update Retroarch every day? Isn't it possible to somehow add the stable builds as a source for Otainium? Also: I assume a (daily) update through Obtainium does not remove/alter the current settings in the app? Thanks for all your advice!
Hi Joey, are you enjoying your rp4pro? I can't believe its running a bunch of fighting games I wanted like Under night in birth, jo jo bizarre adventures, melty blood etc. You don't use redream or flycast app from playstore to run dreamcast? The cores from retroarch run better? Thanks.
Hey, I got rid of mine. I prefer Flycast in RetroArch for Retro Achievements, and it should be fine performance wise for any game, but if you run into issues, try Redream.
Awesome guide! Thank you so much! I'm getting a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro in a few weeks, so this is extremely helpful! Very much appreciated! Random stupid question if anyone knows, but when selecting a BIOS file for a system that requires it, how does having multiple BIOS files work? Like say I have US, Japanese and European BIOS files for a PS2. Do you have to first select the correct BIOS file by default before running a region-specific game or would the emulator detect the correct BIOS automatically?
hello , thank you for the video, saved me :D a question about the capacity of the sd card, how many go minimum is needed or advise please? is 128 enough or 256 or more
thanks, subbed and added to watch later cause im getting mine may with 400gb card, i found the rp3+ wasnt very powerful, hopefully this is so much more Brilliant video 5*
I'm sorry, I simply did not understand the portion during RetroArch where you mentioned Directory and saving BIOS files for PS1 on internal storage. Any advice?
My RP4pro came and in 24 hours the R2 Trigger broke down just like many others. Now no response on when the replacements will arrive - even before Chinese new year. Very disappointing.
Don't have a retro handheld yet and only have experience with snes/ps1 emu more than a decade ago😅 Got a question. Which systems are fine with running zipped roms? I want to know the total size of my games before i buy an sd card.
I was able to figure out how to switch to retro vs Xbox controller by input however I set the “Retriod pocket controller” as my controller but none of the controls are working when I play a game. Apparently, I would need to setup the profile for each controller mode as each controller has a driver built into Retroids OS. I see the profiles options but how do I set up the profile Xbox vs Retriod?
Since you never mentioned obtanium on the odin 2 setup I assume its something you use more recent. Would you say it will be the same for Odin 2? I'm thinking (when it arrives), I should setup my odin 2 watching both the guides in combination. But again, thank you for the steps and guide, I really appreciate it!
Heyas! Awesome guide! I just got my RP4 Pro! A question: would it be possible to install NetherSX2 and keep it updated using the Obtainium method? Thanks again for your great content!
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds Thank you for your kind answer! Another question: Is there a way for Vita3k to read roms downloaded from NPS Browser from the SD card?
Well i usually use another TH-camr for that Stuff. But mine arrived today, the other youtuber has no video to how to setup so here I am :D Looks good, gonna start now :D
New to emulation. I watched this video and the ROMs/Bios video. I have everything I need but for the life of me I can’t figure out where to place the bios files. Do I just create another folder under rooms , and drop them in there? Thanks for this video by the way, very informative.
This is one of the best set up video I have watched and was actually able to get it all set up. Only three emulators I can’t get to run are Sega Saturn, 32x and CD. Anyone have any tips or tricks why those are giving me issues? Thanks!
Have retroarch on rp4, Took out the sd card to add bios to system folder in retro arch through the pc . And the retro arch folder is not on sd card . Am I missing a step?
About Obtainium, I already have all my emultors set up . Can I link Obtainium to the emulators I already have installed, or will I have to download and set them all up again through obtainium to get the updates?
Thanks the very useful video! Is there a site where all these can be done with games all pre-installed and I just purchase the unit? This all sound too heavy for me
Kind of annoyed that the lead up to the rp4p implied that it would be the perfect GC/PS2 "pick up and play"/ "tweak free" device. It's obviously the best in its class at this price point, but all hands-on videos testing emulation show the capabilities have definitely been exaggerated
This was more the greater community rather than retroid assuming it would run the same as the Odin lite or whatever the comparison was to the pro. Most of the folk on TH-cam were shilling it as fully compatible with GC/PS2. In fairness I think Joey wasn't like that but most were especially RH ones.
No reviewer worth anything ever claimed this and even retroid never marketed it as such. It was mostly hype from the community itself that created unrealistic expectations since theres no such thing as perfect emulation without tweaking or set up on any platform
@@pspsmallz in fairness a lot of the preview videos on TH-cam did hype it up as fully compatible with GC/PS2. A lot of that was based on comparing it to the Odin lite with similar processor I believe.
For putting games on the console do I have to put them on myself on a computer and then transfer them or do I create files then link the emulator apps to them to get the games
I cant seem to map the left stick in aetherSX2, it appears to just be moving the menu tabs instead of being accepted as an input bind. Anyone has any ideas how to fix?
how do i know which sd card will work on the retroid pocket pro 4 that i got? I'm thinking 256gb will be enough cause i don't plan on downloading a shit ton of games
Will you please do a service to the people who don’t have a laptop or computer and show them how to use the device itself to get the RMS using the onboard browser and how to put them into their respective areas
The only thing I struggled with was putting the ps1 BIOS file into the system file in Retroarche with the RP4 plugged into my mac. It's the part he says literally not to skip. I had to go with Duck Station because of this. Just a heads up, good luck.
Hi I’m still having problems getting killer instinct to work I have the chd and the rom but it just doesn’t load Amy help is appreciated Thanks for the video
i've been trying to download melonds from the app store among other things and nothing seems to download from google play. aether worked for some reason but after that nothing does. clicking install makes me verify me account by logging in, which i do. then download says it will be installed soon. then nothing. i never see a notification that it was installed nor do i see the app appear anywere. doesnt seem to be in the files anywere . how do i actualy get this thing to download off the app store? or any work arounds? i want to play ds games :(

Where you can download roms?
i've been trying to download melonds from the app store among other things and nothing seems to download from google play. aether worked for some reason but after that nothing does. clicking install makes me verify me account by logging in, which i do. then download says it will be installed soon. then nothing. i never see a notification that it was installed nor do i see the app appear anywere. doesnt seem to be in the files anywere . how do i actualy get this thing to download off the app store? or any work arounds? i want to play ds games :(
Hey, that sounds defective, but you might want to jump into the Retroid Discord and troubleshoot there.

For now! I'll have an updated one once I get the 5.
