Retroid Pocket Mini Nintendo Switch Gameplay Testing
In today's video, I take a look at Nintendo Switch gameplay on the Retroid Pocket Mini (Android 10).
Switch on the RP Mini is quite unstable and I encountered lots of random crashes while testing games and so, if you are buying an RP Mini for Switch, you should consider any game that works as a bonus.
All games are played in Yuzu v278 for Android 10 using Turnip Driver 24.3.0 R9v2
Most games are also played in the "Performance" (middle) performance mode on the Mini.

TrimUI Brick Nintendo DS Gameplay Testing - Stock OS
Переглядів 94714 днів тому
In this video, I take a look at Nintendo DS emulation on the TrimUI Brick Overall, the TrimUI Brick can emulate any NDS game at full speed, but the lack of a second input for the stylus and the small screen makes for a less than ideal experience.

    As fun as it is for me, my problem with the N64 games on the R36S are the texture issues and crashing problems. Because idk why but when I play N64 games for a long period of time, the games would then start lagging and then just freeze. Causing me to press the reset button on the console. No other platform has this issue for me either. Idk why it only happens with the N64. Because Dreamcast and PS1 for example, I can play for hours and there's no freezing or crashing.

      If you are looking to play switch games then get a modded Switch 100%. Emulation compatibility for all games is still a long way off and there will be lots that will not work on the rp5 or mini.

      It does help slightly in some cases to give you a few extra fps on average, however, anything that is text heavy will be completely unreadable at 0.5

    Ovviamente siamo in un era in qui abbiamo dispositivi molto piu performanti e quindi nei commenti trovo qualcuno che riesce sempre a trovare dei lati negativi su questa piccola consolle, ma se ci pensiamo bene e ritorniamo indietro di 20 hanni fà chi avrebbe avuto questa piccola consolle avrebbe doninato il mondo, se pensiamo che in questo piccolo dispositivo riusciamo ad emulari i migliori giochi arcade che hanno fatto la storia dei videogames racchiusi tutti in un piccolo dispositivo e qualcosa di grandioso, si e vero con i giochi pesanti si surriscalda, ma gia quando riesce ad emulare alcuni giochi degli anni 90 che trovavamo soltanto nelle sala giochi gia per me vale tutti i suoi soldi

      Goto gog.com in a browser and go to your profile. Then select games to show your games list. Click on one of the games and select View Downloads and find the Download Offline Installer section. Generally the game installer will come in many parts including an exe and a bunch of bin files.. you need all of these but you don't need any patch files as the patches are included in the installer already.

      You can copy DRM free steam games directly to your winlator drive and run them. Installing steam games via steam in a winlator container is not possible with the "vanilla" winlator but it is possible in some of the winlator forks like Glibc or Frost though I haven't had a chance to really test with those yet

    Hello, I have a retroid pocket mini, I did everything you said on the dolphin emulator and wii input, but I couldn't get the controls of the game Wario Land Shake It to work on the mini. For example, the d-pad directions don't work as they should, but I didn't have any problems with the gamecup input and gamecup games work fine on the gamepad. I'd be glad if you could make a video about this. I don't understand if the problem is with this game or the wii input. I'd be glad if you could help me, thanks.

  • @Sinistralitee
    @Sinistralitee 16 днів тому

    for those of you struggling to open and use the menu, the new update removes the config.ini file and to adjust the settings on the device itself what you gonna do is press L3 (the button on the analog stick), then you hold x then press R1 to choose the "main menu" option and THEN you have to press x again to control the menu bar with your d-pad and now you can adjust settings and whatnot, took me a minute of mindlessly pressing buttons to get to that so yeah, do this instead. also if you change the X and A button, i;e swap the "Retro" button option to "Modern" on the main settings of muOS the buttons basically flip so now the X button is now the Y button so press that instead.

    Thank you for the video. After watching it I went searching for what options are available on the brick for DS emulation in current custom firmware. Stockmix by costlyclick on github has an updated version of drastic for the brick with fullscreen, sharp scaling and audio fixes, they also made a build available for MinUI. It's not as fully fledged as Drastic Steward on muOS, but from what I tested it seems to work way better than stock.

    • @RetroHandheldGuides
      @RetroHandheldGuides 19 днів тому

      In the stock os you need to go into the settings menu and look for "fn settings". Using this setup you can map a hotkey to Joystick toggle. Now when you are in a game, you can press your joystick toggle hotkey to toggle the dpad between Dpad/joystick/both. You'll see the LEDs flash when the toggle happens. Now you can use the dpad to act as a joystick to trigger the stylus movement then toggle again to go back to dpad input.
