    People forget that roms are legal as long as you have the original hardware and software. It's legal to have a backup of your games. We have to fight back against people who try to ban us for that information.

      I've been looking into this and that seems to be the consensus, I got Pokemon R/B/Y/G/S as well as a gbc new from toys r us back in the 90's/00's but the save batteries are dead now but still like to play for nostalgia, just looking into ways that I can actually save my game and not have to start over every time.

      Largely, a vpn is useless except for the above.
      I have Google fiber, and they don't like hacked games. Especially some of the larger computer companies *coughs* Blizzard. So it makes sense there. Or, if you want to find a show on a service that is localized.

    You really didn't explain anything about BIOS files. Yeah you pointed me to where I can get them, but there are like a hundred different ones for every system. How do I know which ones to get or use? Do I need to extract them? If the list you put at the beginning of the organize your files section are BIOS, which isn't clear at all, they don't seem to match anything I'm seeing on the site.

    I've only ever dipped my toe in the water when it comes to ARCADE emulation. Seems quite a lot more complex than emulating your average console. Multiple versions of mame, each with their own rom sets. FB Alpha, Neo,...And then there's the question of how the OS of your specific system and or retroarch integrate it. I you'd make a dedicated video about arcade emulation on RGH's, I would totally watch it 😅

    As far as organizing, just dump all ROMS into 1 common folder. Use launch box (giving the correct path/directory of course) job done. Categorizing just a waste of time assuming the games are working. If the emulator knows the location you are set 😊

    Sir help me please, how do I organize my files? Nobody has straight up shown their organization for Android. Like how their files setup look. AFTER I found all the ROMs for my Retriod Pocket 4 pro: for example, on my Chromebook SD card I have the Games folder, (click into it )> 3DS (click into it)> Fire Emblem Echoes - Shadows of Valentia (USA) (En,Fr,Es) zip (its zipped) (click into it)> Fire Emblem Echoes - Shadows of Valentia (USA) (En,Fr,Es).3ds. Can I leave it like this order and it will work? Or do I have to take the last one the one ending in ".3ds" and put it in place of the ".zip" file and delete the ".zip" after?
    Also for neo geo everyone says to put the BIOs neogeo zip file in with the neo geo ROM folder. Is that all? Cause mine is going to look like this Example: Games folder> NeoGeo> kof97 zip, Garou_ Mark of the Wolves zip, neogeo zip. Do I leave it like that and it will work?
    Thanks,

      Hey, 3ds needs to be unzipped. Not familiar enough with neogeo sorry. I show Rom organisation in my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro setup video and also have written guides on my website.

      you! I did as you said kept the bios inside the neo geo folder and used the final burn one. I got lucky with most of my roms having “uni bios” already in it so I can put blood on and go into change the difficulty in mslug. I believe it does other stuff it’s like having the arcade cabinet controls I’ll have to research more later THANKS JOEY I appreciate you man!

    so in the bios section you say to click the link and that is where all of the files are hosted. so if someone went to the gamecube bios files link and it pulled up a list of like 20 files. does that person need ALL of those files? or is that person looking for a specific file?

    • @worldogameplays

      If the emulator needs all of those files, then yes, but all of those files are probably different bios versions.

    If I got an SD card for Miyoo + with ps1 games already on it, would I just need to copy the ROM since there are already bios files on it? Or do you need a bios and rom download for every game? I don’t understand any of this 😭 I feel like your video is helpful and I’m just dumb lol

      You can backup the bios files, those are fine, the roms are typically bad quality and will give you issues (ex. Not saving in Pokemon). I'd replace those. But I do have a dedicated Miyoo Mini Plus guide that shows all of this to help you!

      @JoeysRetroHandhelds fully understandable. I finally found all of the bios files I needed from the video. Didn't mean to take it out on you, I was just frustrated is all. I followed the rest of your video with ease after I found those files and sources a few from friends. The yuzu portion has to wait for Nintendo reasons. Now I'm trying to optimize performance for PS1 games, specifically MGS1. I loaded it with Vulkan but I get some frame loss during the invisibility cloak scenes. Everything else during the game runs fine though. It's only when the invisibility cloak is present in the frame. I also swapped my joysticks thanks to your video
