Hi, I want to rename the folder location that retroarch is installed to. Where can I edit the path for this?

Reason being, I thought I'd installed retroarch to a folder on my Win 11 PC called 'Emulators/retroarch', when in fact, it just installed all the retroarch folders into 'Emulators' directly.

If I put those retroarch folders to a new "retroarch" folder, but the problem is ES-DE can't run any emulator that is dependent on retroarch, as it can'st see the retroarch original folder any longer.

How can I get ES-DE to see the new location? I presume there is a path in a settings or config file somewhere, but I haven’t found it.

Thanks!

So I pulled the trigger recently on a Legion Go 2 (thanks to you guys on this community for the advice). Context is: coming from a bazzite Go 1 z1 extreme

My initial take is:

- Legion Go 2 feels much more solid and well built, feels a bit more premium. Lovely looks, feels more refined and honed.

- Controllers: so far, I miss the flat sides of the Go 1, Go 2 is more curved and I need to adjust how to hold it. The flat sides on Go 1 are useful to help hold and stabilise the device whilst playing. Maybe I’ll adjust to this with time. I remember reading lots of reviews of the Go 1 bemoaning the ‘sharp’ edges and flat bits, I love them. Controllers don’t have any real perceptible wobble in the chassis.

- Controllers: right side thumb stick feels closer to the edge of the device, the Go 1 has more distance and so far I think I prefer Go 1 for this. Maybe it’s just a case of getting used to, but Go 1 feels much more comfortable for me. Left side controller feels equal between the two.

- Screen: Go 2 OLED is awesome, but the Go 1 screen is not bad at all by comparison. Quite close tbh.

- in Bazzite desktop: higher resolution of Go 1 is really nice, and Go 2 is perfectly usable. But kind of prefer Go 1 for the usability due to the better resolution.

- Function buttons: Go 2 puts the function buttons in different places, and adds two additional buttons for a total of 6. They’re actually great, and I just need to adjust my muscle memory. Ditto for the volume buttons, these are now right side on the Go 2. Love the big power buttons

- Customisation: disk replacement is a bit more involved, with a few components needing to be removed before you can access the disk position. But, you don’t need any extra interfaces to install a bigger/longer disk like 2280.

- D pad: circular type D-pad - sort of, has cross controller on the face. I have an upgrade mod but won’t be able to use my preferred metal cross d-pad which I prefer… it’s an insanely good mod on the Go 1. Will be installing the x box elite pad soon, cross pad doesn’t fit properly.

- Performance: I deliberate went for a Z2 cpu, not the Z2 Extreme: I don’t play AAA, mostly play emulation and medium taxing Steam titles. Battery seems to be better so far but hasn’t had too much time on it. So both have similar CPU performance according to the Internet. Haven’t had time to notice the difference yet, if any. But I understand Z2 will be more efficient power wise.

All in all: both devices are great, the Go 2 makes me realise how great the Go 1 is. For me, and my use case, it’s pretty close to call to be honest. The go 2 is beautiful to hold and feels more solid and premium, but the Go 1 is brilliant also, in its own way. I feel like I’ll grow into the Go 2. I can’t speak to the performance hike of the Z2e - I didn’t get this - but I was never going to outlay that much money for that level of gain. Will see how it goes over next 2-3 weeks and will probably report back here!

Hi all. Just got a disk cloner device to duplicate my Legion Go nvme disk with Bazzite and full setup of games etc, onto a second disk for my new Legion Go 2. I have not used this technique previously so new ground for me.

Cloning is taking a while - 2tb drive - and I understand cloning is sector by sector, not file based, so this takes longer as it copies data and empty space. About halfway at 5 hrs so it ain’t fast.

Will let you know how I get on. Plan is to drop the cloned disk into the Legion Go 2 hopefully later today (England match dependent 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿)

Hi all, I have a Legion Go with z1 extreme. I absolutely love this device. I use it 75% for emulation and 25% for some steam games, running bazzite (no dual boot) but I don’t play AAA titles or anything too heavy or taxing.

I am tempted by Legion 2 because of the OLED screen. There seems to be a massive price difference between the z2 model vs the z2 extreme, with the latter being 15-20% more powerful.

However for my use case, I can’t justify going for the z2e.
I’ve read z2 is essentially same power as z1e. So, if I upgraded I’d get essentially the same machine but with the all important OLED screen.

Is there any downside to the legion go 2 z2 version versus the z2e version?

Thanks all!

Ps: and can I drop my current legion go nvme right into a Legion Go 2?
