Downloading n64 and SNES no problem however when i try this with PS2 and Wii games it does not show up when i press x and scan for new games. Any help?
Try naming the folder PS2 and the other wii&ngc. Alternatively, you can try to play PS2 games on the aethersx2 emulator and Wii games on the dolphin emulator.
Hello I have a question. I am able to run a rom on anthers app emulator but not off the ps2 list of games. Ps2 start up appears but then says Says insert disc 2. Am I able to program to run off the installed emulator athers off the game list?
So the retro roms website allowed me to download two games but when I try to do a third, the page gets stuck on downloading and then it will say click here or if it doesn’t automatically download and when I do, it tells me the page can’t be reached
Question. Mine didn’t have any N64 games. I downloaded Donkey Kong 64 but when I go to “move to” and then SD storage, N64 isn’t displayed. Is it because there are no games pre-loaded? Because I noticed with the others that do not have pre-loaded games, such as WII or N3DS, they also do not have folders under SD storage. How do I add Donkey Kong 64 to make it playable
@ thought that too but now I’m thinking that if the emulator comes with 0 games, you can’t add any directly to the emulator itself. Creating a new folder in the SD card named N64 doesn’t mean that folder is synchronized to the actual N64 emulator simply because it has the same name. The N64 games that I put in the N64 folder that I made up unfortunately do not appear in the N64 emulator. I’ve just been playing them by going directly into the SD card, finding my created N64 folder and clicking on the game. I’d rather view it in the N64 rom directly with all of the other emulators but 🤷🏽♂️
@ Hey again. Yes for both questions. The folder I created although it is named N64 it doesn’t sync with the emulator itself. When I add an N64 game to that created folder, go back and hit X on the N64 emulator, there are still no games listed under N64. Almost as if the N64 emulator doesn’t exist. It’s the same for gameboy color, Wii and a few others that did not have any games loaded
Heres my question i have no more room on my sd card so i have roms on my device is there a qay to use both internal and sd card pathways on the anbernic front end and it show both storages
Yes. When you open the files app, scroll to the bottom and you will see internal storage. You can set that up in files. If you add rom folders there, you just need to add those folders in your front end and maybe also emulators.
I also highly recommend Daijisho as your front loader. It’s easy and you will still have your Anbernic front loader working the same while you set it up and figure it out. It’s just an android app. But you can have as many platforms as you can dream of and box art for every game in your library. It’s 10 arcades tucked under your arm.
@Killionboy I know how to add different folders once in nethersx2 or any of the other emulators but the one that shows up on the front end it just the sd card.
Yes, so you have to point the front end at the internal storage folders. I have not done that since I use daijisho, but I’ll take a look and see if it’s doable.
i can’t even get my anbernic device to connect to wi-fi. i enabled it and everything and if just rejects both my wifi and my phone hotspot. so looks like no adding games for me.

@@JacksonGonzales-w7y if you don’t have any game folders then you need to go back to the initial set up. Did your device come with an sd card or did you add one yourself?
You would just select internal storage instead of sd card storage and create new folders for the ROMs in internal storage, but you have to point your front loader or emulators at the folders in order for the system to see them.
