Yes, go for it!!! 🤗🤗 I definitely recommend watching through the Winlator video I did for the RP Mini to get the full process but it's not difficult at all and fun to mess around with.
Awesome video. Can't wait to play Dishonored on my RP mini! Just a note: Arkane is not defunct. The Arkane Austin studio that made Redfall and Prey is closed, but Arkane's Lyon studio which made Dishonored and Deathloop is still very much around. Keep up the great work!
Tip for those “off the grid” (i.e., not using Google Play): you can use the non-Play version of Retroarch to find your SD card’s ID number. Just choose load content, look under storage and you’ll see the 8 character ID.
I enjoyed this follow-up to Rob's last Winlator video. He is ending the year strong, like steel. I used a slightly different method to get Winlator to use my MicroSD for game storage. I'll type it out here in hopes that it might help someone sometime in the future: Download Files by Google - it's free from Google with no ads. On your SD card, use Files by Google to create a folder called Windows (or Winlator, or whatever - the name doesn't matter) where you're going to stash your Winlator games. Then tap the three dots > tap Folder Info > Long press on the string of numbers and letters that begins with "/storage/" until you get a pop-up saying "copied", then paste it into the text box in Winlator's Container Settings next to the Drive you want to use. And that's it. This is especially handy if you're like me and you nest your game folders. I have a folder on root of my memory card called "Emulation" and then inside that I have a list of folders, one for each system I emulate. That can result in a lot of typing if you're trying to manually input the path into Winlator. This way one can just copy/paste it.
Ngl, you could absolutely get better performance in tons of these games, especially fallout 3 and mad max. You could use the performance preset for both, or even modify the presets to get slightly better performance by changing the dynarec safeflag to 0 instead of 1. Also, mods work for fallout 3. Theres a lot of optimizations i would love to help you with ^^
The stability is not there for Mad Max with the performance preset. The same issue for Fallout 3 but that game does well with the "stability" preset staying above 30 fps. I want viewers to have as much of a pain free experience as possible. 😅😅 I'd love to know more about your optimizations that you recommend. 🙏
Thanks. I knew how to map external storage, but I was being lazy. This video influenced me to get it done. I don't have a Retroid Pocket 5, though. I'm using the Lenovo Y700 with a bsp d11. RP5 looks amazing, though!
I tried grim dawn from gog and it works too. Now I got fallout 3 new Vegas far cry and grim dawn working for a system I only bought to run PS2 games like Tony hawk. Thank you without your videos I wouldnt know it was possible
Hey Rob, thank you for these Winlator videos. I’d love to see what the latest version can do on the Odin 2 Portal. Are you planning on getting one? Thanks.
Yes! I backed one and I should have a review unit on the way whenever AYN is ready to go. I know they're still fine tuning things. 🙏 BTW, Winlator is amazing with the SD 8 Gen 2. I can't wait to dive in and share with everyone. 🤗🤗
@ Thank you, Rob. I have an Odin 2 and a large GOG library. I’m contemplating an upgrade for the base Odin 2 to a Portal as I think that screen is going to make a big difference, especially for PC games with Winlator. I look forward to your review and tests. Have a great week.
I have an Odin 2 Mini, and Winlator has been a super fiddly yet fun experience. I've had the most success with Winlator Frost. Currently making my way through the Battlefield 4 campaign, stability and performance are fine (720p low settings, 60% resolution scale, about 40-50FPS most of the time) but its the controls that took me a while to set up.
Great Video. I just learned I don’t need to put my games on the internal drive. I always thought it was possible but neglected to see that pesky “add” button 😂
I seriously love you're content. It's been so helpful with Winlator. Made the RP5 even more badass. I have a request, It's related to Doom. I can't seem to get Doom 3 & Eternal running via Switch emulation or Winlator. I'd love some tips on getting either running... or knowing if it's hopeless. Same goes for Wolfenstein 2 New Colossus. Gahhhhhhh, I'd give a pinky to get any of those running at even 30p.
Great video as always! Would love to see how the Sega Model 2/3 emulators might run on this. Some great games that aren’t otherwise playable on android
Yes, I like the way you think and it's been something I've thought about for a bit since diving into Winlator. 🔥🔥 I really want to do a "general" kind of video for that so it covers multiple devices. 🤗
I'd say right around the Retroid Pocket 5/Mini, so the Snapdragon 865 is a good starting point especially because of compatibility. I wouldn't go too much older/less powerful than that. 🙏
@@retrotechdad my favorite pc games are from 2002-2005 dont care about later, Condemned Criminal Origins was the last PC game I probably really care about, on GPD Win 2 with newer CPU it ran at max settings in 480p (I finished Sleeping Dogs, one of my favorites of 2012 but it felt kinda bland after older games), I would be curious how Mafia 1, Manhunt 1 and Condemned 1 run on it
Can this manage Don Bradman Cricket 14 through Winlator? My poor experience with cricket emulation has been a thorn in my side since I bought my first device, but it's my fault. Should've saved more/waited longer.
does steam work on winlator? how powerful of a device do you need for steam on winlator? how many years of updates will we need for winlator to work right?
Imagine it would run with the new Snapdragon Elite. But to be fair, it would need a good cooling system too to help with the heat produced from the cpu
sadly snapdragon chips get more support for pretty much everything so if you're into emulation its better to just get a device using a snapdragon chip.
How long does it take to download a game from pc to rp4. I have winder waker files buts it’s been downloading for like 5 hours . It just says copying …
Winlator is amazing on my AYANEO pocket S but I’m struggling with the Halo 1 anniversary edition.. it plays smooth but the sound is having some kind of Eco effect. If anyone can help and share their settings please do.
@ Thanks and yep I tried that first thing but no luck.. it’s strange because I have the whole collection and Halo1 is the only one giving me these issues. FPS and gameplay is smooth though.
Sorry for the late reply I retested it yesterday and I can't get it to boot up and I got it to boot up one time but it freezes 5 minutes into the game. Also I got the copy off of steam I can't find a gog version
Imagine playing metal gear rising revengeance aswell as crysis on a portable handheld suhc as the RP:mini. Somethign that lierlaly just fits in your pocket
goddamn if sleeping dogs runs, games like mafia 1, call of cthulhu dark corners of the earth and manhunt should run at 60 fps, I hope, in 480p or 600p at least
I hope so too, but its not a given, especially considering how old those games are. I got NFS The Run working, but couldn't get NFS Underground 2 to properly work. I got Battlefield 4 working, but not Battlefield 2. Compatibility can be real fickle still.
@@retrotechdad most Frostbite games work much better on it, though I've been using it with an Odin 2 Mini not an RP5. In general the Frost builds have some QoL improvements over the regular builds too.
Unfortunately, I've not. I did test the Switch version which works very well on the Mini/5. Have you tried adjusting any settings for Arkham, maybe switching to compatibility/stability for the Box64 preset?
@retrotechdad I've played with settings a little but I wasn't sure the best settings to mess with, I'm still pretty new to it. Watching your video I thought I should try the stability setting. The little bit I've played seems to play, so hopefully that's all it takes to keep it from crashing

Which device should get Winlator treatment next? Share your recommendations below! 🤗🤗
Ayn Odin 2
Odin 2
S21 FE (SD888) or Razer Edge, please. That is, something between the RP5 and Odin 2, please!
Any forza game! 3 would be great! 2 is fine.
How about old games like Painkiller 2004, Quake 4.
Humbly throwing my suggestion out there, but would love a winlator walkthrough for the RPS2. 🤞
Great timing. I was considering trying out Winlator on the RP5 today
Yes, go for it!!! 🤗🤗 I definitely recommend watching through the Winlator video I did for the RP Mini to get the full process but it's not difficult at all and fun to mess around with.

Would you happen to know how to get the Halo1 anniversary edition working flawlessly? The sound is echoing but the fps and gameplay is smooth.
Everyone should be told to change to performance mode after installing...
My default settings for this and my prior video use "performance" as the standard setting.
Zarchiver also gives the external storage information.
Would love to see a fable game or grabbed by the ghoulies. Great video!
That might appear in another video for another platform. 😉😉🤫

thank you bro
I'm waiting for this
btw how about gta 4 or 5 bro
Version 9 is out now and your guide links to that version. Is the install still the same / is it worth the upgrade? Thanks!
Great video, thanks for sharing! Can you tell me how to setup ES-DE with winlator?
Arkane Austin closed . Arkane Lyon is still open. Dishonored was made in Lyon
Yea, I didn't realize Arkane Lyon is still around
@ I mean it’s still a crime against humanity to close the studio that made FREAKING PREY 2017 but yeah….
There's a fairly nice software synthesizer called Odin 2. With Winlator, maybe I can finally run Odin 2 on my Odin 2.
Thanks for the guide
Can I use this for Halo Combat Evolved and Halo 2 on a Logitech g cloud?
Imagine it would run with the new Snapdragon Elite. But to be fair, it would need a good cooling system too to help with the heat produced from the cpu
could it run starcraft 2?
I wonder how Winlator MGR compares to the NVidia port
I got Outrun 2 running great on it but the game isn't centered on the screen 😭
Does it run on the rp4 pro, they have about the same specs?
Unfortunately, it won't be the same performance (if it runs) since we don't have Turnip support for the D1100 since it's a Mali GPU.
sadly snapdragon chips get more support for pretty much everything so if you're into emulation its better to just get a device using a snapdragon chip.
