I just got my Retroid Pocket Nova yesterday! This thing is seriously cool.

Coming from the relatively simple Trimui Brick there is definitely a learning curve in getting this guy set up but it's also much more powerful and versatile.

The only mistake I made during setup was not checking the file format on my SD card before starting to set up my game library so when I went to add my first PS2 game the card wouldn't accept the larger file size so I had a reformat from FAT32 to exFAT and reload some of my SNES ROMs I had already setup but other than that no major difficulties and the rest has just been following tutorial videos and tweaking settings here and there. There are SO MANY settings to adjust that you absolutely will need to or want to adjust to get things running correctly, especially with the more advanced 32bit gaming systems like PS2 and GameCube.

The 4:3 OLED screen looks fantastic. The photo here doesn't do it justice. I'm looking forward to playing 16bit retro games on this but the main draw of the Nova for me is the ability to play some PlayStation 2 classics on a handheld.
