I bought a Pocket Mini V1 for cheap on eBay. Yes it’s the V1 and knew I’d be plagued with not being able to get a screen upgrade but I’ve never had one and it was only $90. Anyways, I got it in the mail and found out the photos he took he just set the joystick caps on top of the joystick shafts. He had them glued on and he broke them so there was part of the caps stuck superglued on the shafts. He gave me a partial refund of $30 so now it’s only a $60 device. I just ordered new joysticks ($20) with my Retroid Nova order. I was planning to replace the joysticks and resell it but I’m kind of liking it as a stickless device lol. Kind of reminds me of the Pocket Classic. Of course I wouldn’t recommend removing the sticks on one that was normally priced but since this was only $60 it’s been a fun stickless device so far while waiting for the sticks.

I have been able to play one single game on it, everything else about this app has been a nightmare. I like Gamehub, but there are some games I really want to play that don't have controller support and afaik there's no way around that. Heard Game Native can map keyboard controls to your controller but this app is barely functional. Am I stupid or something or is this just unbelievably finicky and unreliable?

EDIT: I pretty much gave up, but am now using Gamehub to map the keyboard and mouse to touchscreen controls, then using the RP6's touchscreen keymapper, and setting them to 0 opacity. It works, though not perfect. Super unsatisfying mouse look movements lol.

I saw it in a video

dabbling in switch emulation and i’m having some trouble basically whenever i click on the game in es-de it sends me to the eden emulator and the game doesn’t launch from there either. there’s no popup wirh an indicator on what’s wrong so any advice is appreciated!

I’m tempted to add one to my order for the occasional widescreen hack but I’m seeing some mixed reviews. I guess I’m looking for someone to convince me not to.

I've owned this device now for nearly five months and I love it even more as time goes on. The game on display is Odin Sphere (PS Vita via Vita3k).

I'm kinda... Betting it will. Am I wrong?

One of my favourite things about these handheld devices is the personal spin that people put on them (wallpapers/launchers/frontends). Transforming something sold and commercial into something so personal and honest is just really cool to me; that we can all have the same device, but different tastes and aesthetics that make them end up looking completely different.

I don't personally find myself to be very creative or have any good actual ideas to make my device more, like, *mine*, so I've just got a live wallpaper of Miyabi From Zenless and I think it looks quite nice (and does nothing to drain the battery!)

Hello all, just completely speechless on how this thing operates ordered on June 3rd and received on July 3.

Spent all day setting up yesterday and I love it… followed retro corps setup guide and was very detailed and helpful.

Although I did want to better setup my n64 games was not able to get em properly working in retro arch and used the standalone n64 emulator ( forgot the name)…

As for ps2 everything I have mostly works except for some bugs and problems mostly slowed down gameplay on a few games like armored core and path of neo so far… Idk I’m still very new to all this world of emulation but all yall have been so helpful i couldn’t help myself and start asking (dumb) questions lol.

Any suggestions on how I can make these games run better or any games I need to try or any suggestions at all would be great.

Howdy folks! I started this project on Steam Deck because I wanted offline WoW on the go. People loved it so I made installers that builds the private server of their choosing on the Steam Deck with as close to a 1 click install as possible.

After that, lots of people asked to be able to have this type of installer on windows, easing the process of compiling their own server on windows without having to use repacks. This windows app allows you to use the same steam deck installers on your pc to get the servers up and running for offline or Lan play.

Take care yall.

Okay so, i got this silicone case for the RP5 that came with my buy (i got my RP5 second hand) and the sec i got home i took It off, but after a little bump (nothing serious the console didn't even get a scratch) i thought, this thing is quite slim, should i put the silicone case back on oooor...?
