About this deal

NOTE: I decided while making this that I will use the Retroid version due to it offering lower resolutions for better performance.

OR you can try the BETA enhanced version for better performance (see below), personally I have used the regular Citra emulator from Retroid. GRAPHICS> vulkan (the GitHub I recommend below says OpenGL but I have found Vulkan to work well for God of War and Assassin’s Creed)

Hot Selling Items

Highlights: here you can toggle between Recent, Favourite and Newly. Then you can press L2 and R2 to navigate between platforms, allowing you to see either newly added, favourites or recently played by platform. With emulators, you’ll have no trouble with systems up to the Dreamcast, barring the Atari Jaguar and Sega Saturn, which are known for being a pain to emulate. With tweaks, you can go further –PSP titles, and some PS2 and GameCube games. But that depends how much you’re willing to fiddle and accept a sometimes compromised experience. Note that 720p HDMI out and Bluetooth support enables the Flip to ‘replace’ ageing retro hardware when you want a bigger-screen experience. Ideal if all your Dreamcasts are dead (yet again), or you fancy playing your favourite handheld titles upscaled on the telly. The 4.7″ touch screen has a 750×1334 resolution at 60Hz and a brightness of 450nits. The Android 11 operating system comes preinstalled and as mentioned previously, the device is powered by a 5000mAh battery. Grab this file and unzip its contents to the internal storage (NOT your SD card which should not be inserted yet): https://www.mediafire.com/file/6d6hk7c3pa6gc0a/fastretroid.zip/file

An SD card – I have a 128GB b ut I actually recommend a 256 or 512GB for the bigger files like Dreamcast, Gamecube, PS1, PS2 etc. When playing games though it’s impressive with around 7 hours of gameplay out of a single charge depending on what consoles you are trying to emulate. The device has USB-C charging and a micro HDMI out port. The are also additional M1 and M2 buttons that you can map to whatever you wish. Bios files are copywritten files that came with the original hardware to make the games operate. Although they are copywritten, you can actually find them quite easily. To disable the side menu, swipe down from the top, swipe to reveal the system icons like wifi etc, turn “Floating Icon” OFFSetting up ROMS: To make a folder structure use the Retroid Launcher as mentioned in the beginning. I used the onboard memory for the smaller 8 and 16 bit games, the rest I loaded to an external card. If you don’t like how complicated that is, just by a bigger SD card (256 / 512gb).

I like retroachievements mostly for the progress percentage that pops up when you load a game. It gives you a sense of progress. Enable/disable Aggressive scraping: Settings > Library > Aggressive scraping ON – I have enabled this but you run the risk of having incorrect album art. I prefer this to having blank spaces in my menu. The setup wizard will finish off any other tasks and you will be launched into the Launcher you chose. Adding games to your micro SD card

Main menu – L2 (this is to make it the same as PPSSPP to ad to a unified system) / on the FLIP I have mapped the menu to M1 Go through the initial setup being sure to select and install at least MP64Plus FZ, PPSSPP, redream, RetroArch (AArch64), Yaba Sanshiro 2 Tap the three lines hamburger button on the top left, scroll down to find your internal storage and select it As much as I don’t like them, I am not sure what they could have done when you consider that the lid has to be shut. Specifically, I recommend that you try MMJR and MMJR2. Although no longer supported, these offer some excellent performance benefits. For example I set Metroid Prime up with MMJR and it’s performing far better. Although this emulator is not without glitches.

If you want Hotkeys, this emulator does support dual-key hotkeys, so, for example: you can map “open pause menu” to L3+R3 If you want to dive into specific Android games you can too, you can even do some cloud gaming on it if you’re into that, although the screen is a little too small to have a pleasant experience doing it. If you want, you can save these settings with a profile name by Settings>Save Profile, give it a name and tap Done and then Create, and then Save. Now if you mess anything up you can always load the profile by tapping the folder icon at the top right. Make sure the BIOS files are on on the device storage and the SD card just to be safe. That way if you move files around in the future you won’t run into any trouble.It boasts an easy setup, and the Android Emulators do a great job at automatically button mapping to your device on first play. Can It Play Android Games? CITRA (3DS) NOTES: For some random reason my Citra defaulted to having audio disabled, if you open the in-game menu and tap on MENU > OPTION > AUDIO > SOUND ENABLED – ON. Also, because I opted to have the savestates and system files saved to the ROMS folder, they end up appearing in the games list in Daijisho. To fix the tap EDIT ITEM > VISIBLE (PLAYABLE ITEM”S VISIBILITY) – OFF
