Heya. I have a (used) Odin Lite and I think that if you search around pretty good you won't find a better device for a 100 dollar price tag! Ps2, N64. All playable on a nice sized screen. Still I'm looking forward to the retroid pocket 5 to get some added colors on screen and higher resolutions. 🎉
pretty good guide for beginners, i use a separate fork of yuzu which i am not going to name, that required me to make a custom system file along with messing with the config, I would love to see a dedicated es-de video
Watched the whole video, but I'm still thinking about those Lay's Potato Chips which are made with just 3 ingredients: potatoes, salt, and vegetable oil. I mean, whoever created that simple recipe is genius!
first handheld i got was the Retroid Pocket 2S, spent a bit over a month just making configurations before I actually got to play my first game. I don't understand why these companies don't include some starter manual , even if only for retroarch which operates like a damn spaceship
super helpful. i'm not a very techy guy, and i really want to get an RG406V after watching your review (i desperately want portable panzer dragoon saga). appreciate your videos. helpful and good, goofy humor. cheers!
The what is "three plus three divided by 3"equal to" is a trick question. The way people speak, they don't indicate order of operation. They could mean (3 + 3) / 3 = 2 OR 3 + 3 / 3 = 4
I went back to Daijisho because ES-DE makes my device warm by just scrolling games at it. Also it's more lightweight and support different internal and sdcard location support. Just my opinion
I don't think I have ever heard Mr. Dweeb cover something so quickly, even though this was a 15 minute video :p Were you a car salesman in a past life?
Something that bugs me and would be helpful to know: Is it possible to transfer box art etc from say Windows, to Android, to Linux and between the various distros? For example, I originally scrapped a bunch of art on my PC, but could never figure out how to move it between DaiJiSho, Emulation Station, and wherever else I want to put it.
I prefer Beacon Game Launcher. This is easier and more console like experience than ES DE. ESDE more arcade style, and also doesn’t have normal android app menu.
I have a problem with ES-De... i have a rp4 pro and i use (under daijisho) both the internal storage and the sd card to storage roms... and i haven't found a way to make ES-DE to be able to select multiple directories for roms... that's the only thing preventing me from using it as main frontend... have i missed something or there is no way to do so?
Is there a way to copy the android emulator folders from one device to another so you don’t need to reason those (and can just copy those folders from as to the new device? That would be cool! 😎
Great video! Now I want to go out and get some chips. Is it safe to say I could just load up my 1.5 Tb micro SD card and move it back and forth on multiple Android hh?
I had a ES-DE setup and everything scraped and ready to go on my PC but whenever I downloaded it on Android most of the boxart and stuff just doesn't want to transfer over. I think it has something to do with the gamelists because they say they have an error on line 5 for some reason for the systems that don't work. I know I can rescrape everything but I've been lazy. Honestly I might just delete everything and start over from scratch using your video since my ES-DE needs updated to the latest version anyways.
Can I have some roms folder on SD Card and some on Internal ? I mean, normally on the PC (and ES-DE) it is a matter of manually adjusting config, to point to proper drive+directory. I hope it's possible on Android too :) then I'll be able to switch my Odin 2 from Dajhshou to ES-DE like on the desktop, windows handheld etc. :)
I have a Google Pixel 8 Pro running Android 14. I installed ES-DE frontend, several standalone emulators, roms, bios, etc however I'm constantly as to why starting the emulator is always showing in Portrait mode rather than in Landscape. This seems to be the case with pretty much all of the standalone emulators. I wasn't able to find the option to change Portrait to Landscape. Is this controlled via RetroArch? If so, how do I correct this? Thanks.
@@TechDweeb Wonderful to hear! Thx for the guide! ❤ I wanted to help a friend with setting up his Odin 2 Pro but now he can do it. Learning by doing is better. :D
I don't like Android handhelds because setting these up are tedious.. wished there was a single zip package with all the APKs, setting files, etc. minus the bios and roms, or better yet if these devices came pre-setup like the linux handhelds
They can be, but that's one extra step - you need to create a saves and states folder on the card, and point Retroarch to that in Settings>Directories.
That's the reason why I hate android devices. The setup is extremely annoying and it has so much software overhead that is unnecessary. Just give us the power of these Android devices with a clean batocera install and most of us would be happy. The batocera installer for the retroid 5 is gonna hopefully finally turn this around. There is no reason why these android devices need even Android. Just open it up and allow batocera. Done.
