@adinwalls have you tested Super Mario Odyssey? I got mine delivered today and tested this game but lots lagging, and the music is bad. Perhaps I missed a tweak or two?
I thought you were going to say as complicated as possible at the start, great work Wall!
Hehe honestly I tried to make this video a quick setup guide and it ended up as long as the others on UA-cam. Hopefully I bring a unique flavour to the mix.
@@adinwalls well your time stamps are perfect I've watched you since you were around the 5k mark and it's crazy to see your progress and this will be helpful to many!
Ah cool thanks man. I was trying to remember where my subs were when I started the retro gaming and it’s crazy to see how it’s grown. Here’s to even bigger things!!
This little console for what it costs is something truly incredible! Also considering that you can play Android and streaming games with Steam and Xbox GamePass. practically with €200 you can do EVERYTHING and carry it in your pocket. Thank you for this very useful video! 🙏🏻🧀
Very true!
Thankyou so much for this guide , i have used it now on two devices and made setup so easy , it was nice to have the video running in the background but follow the text guide at your own pace
You’ve made my day!
Thank you for putting the effort into this, super helpful for first time setup!
Excellent job on making one of the most useful videos I've seen for the 4 Pro! I'm going to order a 4 pro as my first retro handheld, and was wondering how the setup process went. I'll be following along with this video when it arrives. I was thinking the setup would be the hardest part, but now it's deciding which color to order! 🤣
Thank you. The setup can be annoying so I am hoping this video helps! I really like my Crystal white but all the choices are really good.
Oh and I highly recommend a grip and a screen guard.
The written guide is ready! www.adinwalls.com/2024/02/22/retroid-pocket-4-pro-setup-guide/
If you see any errors please let me know and I will happily respond with a sarcastic remark 😀
Tip: a turn off autofocus. Your auto focus keeps blurring the shot.
even i need video like these sometimes i know how to do it but its good having a step by step video
The written guide is nearly done! I will add it to the description as soon as I am done editing it.
most excellent setup guide for pocket 4 ever !!!
Thank you!
Just ordered my RP4Pro and while im quite savvy when it comes to emulation on Android systems still gonna be using this guide to get the most out of my system. Cant wait!!
Thanks man. I love my RP4 pro setup. I have just put it down for a while for productivity sake!
Thanks 🎉
Getting mine today and am just realizing I’m not ready for this lmao
Haha. One step at a time
mine arrived today :)
Yes!!
20 minutes into this video and I realize that I did it all wrong. Damn you, Aidn, there goes my weekend! Great video man!
Haha. My work here is done [mic drop]
Was going to get the 16bit color way but after seeing yours has me interested in the crystal👀
Ya it’s great. Retrobreeze hates the grip but I kinda love it on my Crystal version
Thank you for the guide! I was curious on using the preinstalled apps or not. Also, so... pocket knife step not recommended? :)
Haha no. Although I highly recommend a nice artisanal pocket knife. And ya, I gave a bit of thought to which apps to get from where.
Just brought a TB card 😁
Does it work well? I couldn't find the max SD card size for the RP2 Pro
@@AlmightyyCres mine is working great 👍
Hello, I can't launch my games with Daijisho and yaba sanshiro 2 pro what are the settings? Thanks for your help.
thank you for your video, I have a question: my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro is not recognized by Redream? What should I do?
Hey, just going through the tutorial - what do I do if I just went ahead and installed everything without knowing what I was doing? Can I factory rest and start over?
My RP4 Pro is now not lettting me update. Can yo8 do a video on clearing the cache or making sure internal storage is not filled up?
Can i connect two bluetooth controllers to the device and play local mutiplayer games?
Wonderful video Adin, much appreciated!
Hey thank you
Great video. On my rp4, vibration won't work in any of the emulators except dolphin mmjr2, do you have similar issues ?
Hmmm I haven’t noticed but that is a possibility. You should report the issue to Retroid so they can look into it for their next update.
It's probably only works for games that uses the vibration feature, some GameCube and PS2 games not all. All retro games that came before doesn't use the feature, not sure about Switch since I've never played it.
I have this and I gave up on the setup process, its my first time so it is super complicated for me, the roms, the bios, I don't even know if I got the right ones.
My advice is to start with one system. Forget about Daijisho. Just download one emulator and get started.
will i be able to download roms and bios just using the RP4 pro if i dont have any access to a computer to download all the files and then upload?
Yea you can actually do that with your browser
How so setup retro pocket 4 to play mobile games such as genshin impact with built in controller instead of touchscreen? If you or anyone knows how and can assist me would be appreciated.
Hey man did you ever figure it out? I am trying to do the same thing, can’t find anyone who can explain how to do it
@rhwpo1195 you need to use the key mapper from the top down menu
@@adinwalls thank you 🙏🏾
I have a question how do i download games for the retroid pocket 4 pro does it have games in the files or do i have to use a roms website if i have to use a roms website whats the best website for the retroid pocket?
Hey there. I’m not allowed to tell you how to get ROMS but just use Google.
Okay thanks @@adinwalls
my PS2 games keep crashing with any of those versions 3668 and 4248 so far I have try GOW and Lego Batman both are .ISO format. GOW crashed when I was fighting Hydra and Lego Batman crashed during the fight with two face. any ideas. I am using Vulkan, 1.75x. I also tried under clocking and other changes and got the same results. others emulator like PPSSPP work fine, fan was set on smart and High Permormance.
Hey thanks for the detailed feedback and honestly I am not sure. God of war should be working. Never tested Lego Batman. Have you tried different Roms?
what yuzu version are you running? i notice everyone runs Mario wonder at around 50 to 60 fps but when i run it, my game is very choppy. Im running the latest version of yuzu, res is at .5
Is your device performance mode set to its highest setting?
@@adinwalls yes it is!
If your resolution is already set to 0.5 I’m not sure what else there is you can do. Close all background apps.
Hi, do you succeed to play dead or alive xtreme scarlet with yuzu on this console ? Tanks you for your answer.
I haven’t tried that game sorry
@@adinwalls Thanks for your answer.
Do the Analog pocket
Thank you! I can now see why people are selling these as soon as they get them. The setup and transfers took me all day. I enjoy the setup as much as playing the games...Now it's a beast!
Yes it’s a bit of a mission. I think people need to be made aware of the pitfalls of emulation
Could you please do a video testing Winlator or mobox on it?
Interesting. What would be the benefit of trying to run windows apps on a relatively low powered device like this? I’m intrigued
Would it still work if I put the bios files on external storage ?
To be safe put it on both internal and external
Can i use this same guide for my odin lite?
A lot of this setup will work for the Odin, yes
hello why drastic and no melonds ? whats the difference for now? thank you
The Android Drastic app is usually better.
I have been having issues in the dolphin emulator.my left stick is working but at the same time is like reading the L2 button and is making playing games in the retroid pocket 4 plus difficult. Please can you address this if there is a solution...keep the good work!!!
Hey there I’m not sure what your problem is with the device. Are some of the buttons not working?
All buttons work perfect even in the others emulator they are perfect only in the dolphin emulator i have that issue... thanks for your reply!!!
Ilthe issu is only with the left stick ,is like its using also the l1 and l2 buttons including the left analog stick. It makes movement difficult playing games in the dolphin emulator( the reason why i bought this console the first place)
If the left stick is working everywhere else then you need to try remapping it
I’m so impossibly confused that I want to send this back I feel like I’m in over my head with “bios” and “ obtainium” is there a way I can pay someone to do this?
Hey there. You don’t have to do all of these things. My advice is to find a system you want to play like Gameboy advance. Find out how to set up that one system. And move on from there
I feel so left out lol
nether classic is based on 3668 an has better compatability in general ,nether 1.7 is based on 4248 and thats better for games that use the snowblind engine, like campions of norraad and baldurs gate dark alliance but will break other games like sly cooper.
Yes. The PS2 situation is annoying. Hopefully a legendary dev does something for the team😊
Just realised now that it’s you Aish. When you say left out… did you not get one? And then my answer to that is, don’t you have an Odin 2?! So you are not allowed to complain… 😂
@@adinwalls no I did I put out a review a few weeks ago I was just joking.
Can you use this guide to setup 2s??
Hey there. The only thing I would change is some of the emulators. I would use Dolphin for Handheld for GameCube and for 3DS I haven’t tested Canary on the 2S so if it doesn’t work try Citra MMJ. And use a lower resolution output in the settings of most of my emulator setups.
Got to retro gaming corps. Way more coverage and comprehensive guides.
Can't find anyone talking about wii u emulation, could anyone help?
I stand corrected but the last time I checked we didn’t have Wii U on Android.
No vita?
Guide for product keys?
You need to extract them from your Switch
Is this able to play xbox emulators?
No... Xbox game pass streaming=yes
@@lowlifeNPC thanks. It's weird to me that they can play switch wii ps2 but not original xbox
Would have been easier if you just showed nstalling the emulator apps over obtanium. Less steps. You didn't show the feature in OdinTools where you can set your controller per app/emulator. Also you didn't set to kill the running emulators in daijisho and had to kill them manually each start of a new game.
None of my 3ds games load in citra,help pls
Try the encryption tip in my written notes
@@adinwalls Followed those steps nothing even read something about renaming to .cci for citra...still nothing,do I need to add a bios for it to work ?
Hey there if you’d like to join my Discord: discord.gg/QWk8xEf8
This handheld is VERY tempting but Android is my major deterrent. Give me a Linux or Windows based device.
The setup is frustrating for sure but once it’s done I much prefer it to Linux. Although I still prefer Linux on lower end devices.
Why is this even a issue? Its practically a mini PC. Most of the apps you install from the GooglePlay Store. Etc. Maybe if you could explain the biggest/major issue with using Android then i could see where youre coming from, but i found it very intuitive, and obvious. Or at least, there wasnt any moment where i was thinking, "wow how do i install this? or how do i start my emulator up after ive moved games?", Everything is very point and click.
Sir can you plz provide me bios files sir I am unable to run any game on my rp4 pro sir plz give me one memory card with all emulator and games I will pay before you send siri am Indian no body khow about these stuffs plz help me out
Google!
