Genius! I've been tinkering the last couple of days and here you've got it all figured out! That side button will be a real life saver since I've been swiping up this whole time! I appreciate the tutorial!
thank you for helping me set up. I bought this in November of 2023 and i think it has the updated look because mine look different in the retroarch, it does not have the console symbol but name but it still same program, They must have updated the look
Have you tried the gamma os? My unit is brand new, less than 24 hrs. Tinkering it but might wait until I have enough knowledge. Im going to play more on rpgs on ps1, psp or ps2 emu here. Also do you have a video in which you provide details on what games each the emulator does play/run?
If the people you purchased yours from where nice enough it should come pre loaded and there will be 2 buttons on the right of the device just press the smaller one on the bottom and you’ll be glad you read this if you didn’t know 😊
@stefano.a sorry, i was thinking of the wrong video. If you swipe down from the top, you'll see an option on the bottom right which will give you the option from switch to xbox
Great video. When you click the side button i can see your list shows a picture of each console. Mine is just a box with no console image - how did you get yours to look like that
I didnt know what i was doing before i saw this video and set the sd card to ise for extra phone storage and i think i messed it all up so i couldnt do what you did in the video... i dont know what to do
Could I swap the entire contents of this SD card to a better one before set up? Nothing should alter it to be funky right? I've just heard bad things about Anbernic SD cards and wanted to upgrade to a better one immediately.
This is exactly what I did. I copied everything across to a Samsung sd card (SanDisk is good too), and then added my own roms etc. If you just want to change the rom list then this will not impact the sd card at all.
@pickymfpickle6127 any laptop or pc can achieve this. You just need a couple of USB sd card readers, or enough space to backup your sd card to your pc/laptop before transferring it to another
Thank you so much for your information I'm going to be buying one of these August 3rd. When I get my retirement check create an old guy bored out of his mind I hope this has a couple games that I like like Laura Croft Tomb Raider. And maybe SS tricky and of course Mario😇✌️🌻
The PSP emulator is the only one that lets me use the side button to save the game. I can't figure out how to update the others to let me save that way! Any suggestions?
Please help. I have my sd card in I went to the aethersx2 and went to "add game directory " top left has rg505 and under that in blue is rg505 but I can't click on it and I don't have those 3 lines to switch to sd card. I don't know what to do did I buy this for nothing
I downloaded a psp game rom off the internet and having issues on how to open the zip file and where to send it to on my rg 505 . I guess getting new games in general can I have some help please ? Appreciate it a lot
I just got the device but I put in the micro SD card and the games is on the SD card but I click on the game I want to play but it won't open. Can you please help me. The seller won't help.
Which game is it that you are trying to play? It could be that it is missing the bios it needs to run it, or the rom that's been put on there is a dud.
I got slot of the games on the device from your video. Thank you. But some say it wants the bios but I click yes and then it bring me to an page and I click on any of the area it has on the page but it does not work. Is there something wrong with it or is there something else to do.
@@lh7266 sounds like the bios the game is wanting is not there. Your best bet is to download some more bios for that type of game (ps1, gamecube, etc) and see if that helps
@@lh7266 if you go to my tiktok profile (The_Yorkshire_Gamer) and go to my bio, there is my linktree. From there you can email me and I should be able to sort you out 😊
If only it had a video out and stacked shoulder buttons, I might've picked this over Retroid pocket 3 plus. 505's face button are the right size for me. I'm not sure but from this video it seems the analog sticks' diameter might also be bigger. Which is a plus for me. It also should've been packaged with gamma os installed. Which removed the sharpening and improved the gaming performance because of those custom gpu drivers from rp3 plus.
Some very good points here. It does support screen mirroring, but I appreciate that the quality and reliability is nowhere near the same as a HDMI connection
Hello, I’m quite new to emulating PS2 games and was just wondering how to know which Bios I would have to pick. Especially if i later add games that were not preinstalled.
Hey there. I accidentally “clicked on the retro arch app prior to having the sd card in. Is there any way to undo this and or reload the content?? No games are showing up sadly 😢
If you press and hold X for a few seconds and release whilst on the retroarch screen, it should come up with a prompt asking if you want it to read the sd card
@@hoagiemacintosh781 What did you do to go about getting games? I did the exact same thing and did not realize that i ordered w/o the SD card. I ordered a preloaded card from Etsy. 🤞

Id contact the seller bud. If they've not provided one and you've paid for one then they should be able to send one out. Alternatively there are loads of guides online to set up an sd card
@hoagiemacintosh781 if you click the link in the description of this video, it will take you to the store I got mine from. Go to the second page of the catalogue and you will find a preloaded SD card on there. It shows in $ as they ship worldwide, but it will convert to £ when you checkout

Just was I was looking for and needed. Cheers mate! 👍🏻
@faithlove5130 no problem 😊
The RG405M was much more automated. Just pull down the top screen menu and select game mode. It does it all for you
Bro! You’re a lifesaver! 🙌🏽
I also really appreciate your tutorial! Thank you!

Thank you kind sir! VERY CPU illiterate here and you made it so easy. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Do you have a video showing how to go about adding more games? Like how to do it, where to find more games, etc.
How do you know what bios to use for each system? Just got mine in the mail and am currently transferring the SD cards to a 512gb!
Ur the Guy. Ty.
I need help 😢 my rg505 didn’t come with any games and any bios - how can I set up all this stuff?

Is it possible to swap the A and B keys function so that they behave as an xbox or PS controller?
Yes, if you skip towards the end of the video, I show how to do this 😋
@@the_yorkshire_gamer7042 thank you!
@@the_yorkshire_gamer7042 I watched the entire video but it does not explain how to do that configuration

This changed with a recent update, what you see on the video is what it looked like prior to the update
@@the_yorkshire_gamer7042 I see. Thanks for the reply. Great video BTW, you explain things super good.
@@times7171 I'm glad it helped 😊
@Times 71 looks like if you click 'settings' whilst on the list of consoles where you can change the wallpaper and view 😊
I just got mine and it doesn't turn on. Charging light doesn't come on either.
I'd go back to the seller and ask for a replacement or refund bud
Hey I've had a problem with mine after i used the button mapping function the controls dont go back to being universal
Is there a possibility to download games from the internet for this console?
@paoladicosola9038 yes, you can download straight to the device. But you will need to also download an application to unzip files
Thank you sooooooooo much you save me ... can u make a video how to add games please
Can you enable cheat codes for any emulators?
@jccharles7280 yes,some.of the emulators have cheat systems built in.
Idk if I want this or the RG405M they’re like the same but this is bigger
@Gmcking75 that's exactly it. Apart from the 405m coming in a metal shell as well they are essentially the same
@ yup! I’m going w the 505
I didnt know what i was doing before i saw this video and set the sd card to ise for extra phone storage and i think i messed it all up so i couldnt do what you did in the video... i dont know what to do
Hi,

How you the games image show next to each game?
You can download the image from the Internet browser and then press and hold the game and select 'add image'
Does it need a PC to set up????
No, you can play it straight out of the box. Just make sure that the seller provides an sd card with games
if i buy the standard version (no game) can i just download ps2 gamefile and play it?
Yes, you can add your own ps2 games to an sd card 😀
You can also download game files direct to the device and store them on there also
