I'm no stranger to setting basic configurations, directories, and emulation what-not but that all being said, I would have had utterly no clue where to start on my Retroid Pocket 3 + (also picked up based on your initial video) without all three of the starter videos for Android, Retroarch, and this one for the RP3. Plus, your written guides were excellent for per system tweaks and notes on file compression types. Really appreciate your attention to details for the sake of the purists out there. Thanks so much for drawing a map for this one and the others!
I don’t own a Retroid Pocket of any kind, nor do I foresee purchasing one. However, every Retro Corp video is worth watching, whether it be for a cat break, lusting over tech, or simply picking up a cross-applicable tip as Russ talks his way through configuration. Great work, as always!
Totally agreed! I dont own any retro devices too and after watching a few of his videos, it makes me wanting to order one too. Very detailed and unbiased always.
@@samuelwong1310 hi, my Android guide would be your best bet, it is device agnostic and includes widescreen instructions for all the emulators. retrogamecorps.com/2022/03/13/android-emulation-starter-guide/
I just got my Retroid Pocket 3+ and thank you for this guide. Setting up the system was MUCH more complicated than I had expected, even with this guide it took me all day.
I have been watching these kinds of videos for years now and I got to say damn this shit is hard,I set up my rp2 perfectly but here come the rp3 and you can’t swap the sd card,I like to play retro games but can’t dedicate all my free time to setting these things up,it’s so weird because of copyright issues so I have became anti-Nintendo they are the worse to me because they have benefited the most from programmer opening their code-zip files unzipped file-the Average customer doesn’t care a fuck -if I person has the resources they will buy-it would be wise too instead of Spamming these roms sites put commercials on them with new up coming games cuz new games have gotten stale since Grandtheft auto San Andreas
Your site and channel are unbelievably helpful. All emulation stuff is completely new to me and I haven't bought a device yet so having this kind of info in one place is invaluable. Thank you so much for the clear instructions on this
I've got an RP3 on the way, mostly for steam link/moonlight streaming from my PC but I also want to be able to play some stuff from the 16 and 32bit eras. Thank you for all of the work you've put in to this video as well the written guides, I'm sure they'll prove extremely helpful.
Hey! There is a bug on the RP3 where setting any key to the pause game hotkey makes Retroarch no longer detect that button! If you set it and that happens, highlight the pause game hotkey option and press the start button. It will reset it. I figured it out after i had reinstalled Retroarch sadly.
You just saved me so much time. Also I figured out that it's basically pausing the menu when you press A after you set the hotkey, even though it's not supposed to do it unless you're holding L3.
Been looking for a device but been worried about getting setup going because I’m new to this. I wouldn’t justify buying an emulator until I found your videos. Truly making it possible for me to understand all of this stuff and get going. Thanks Russ 👍
I love my RP2+ a lot. This device looks amazing, but the select/start button position and lack of performance increase made the 3 a skip for me. I hope they make a more powerful device with similar screen quality to the RP3, hopefully with better button placement. I would super buy that. Retroid is great. Thanks for making these guides, I always learn a new tweak or two when I watch them.
I have both, yeah software is not an upgrade, but the hardware is 10x better! (excluding the ridiculous button layouts) better screen, bigger viewing, feels 100x better in your hands, the RP2 kept stabbing my palms, the 3 does not, it's smooth and comfortable to hold. Not clunky as the 2. But yes, to each their own. You'll have to wait next year for more systems but I doubt it'll be software upgrades, the Chinese loves to use same software, just different hardware upgrades and looks. We're using 10 year old tech for these handhelds, mainly for budgeting.
PSA: !!!IN ORDER TO AUTO LOAD YOUR GAME USING RETROARCH YOU MUST DO THESE STEPS!!! (for GameBoy Advance at least) go into the "saving" section in "settings" and enable "don't overwrite save RAM on loading save state", also make sure you enable "auto save state" AND "load state automatically". One won't work without the other. This saved my save states that I overwrote accidentally
Hey, great guide! This was extremely helpful for setting up my RP3+. I wanted to share some of the issues I had in case anyone else runs into them. In RetroArch, it seems the Pause hotkey is broken, and it caused me lots of problems by even assigning it to a key. If anyone runs into issues with Retroarch, skip that key assignment. My other issue was with Button Remapper. Great functionality, adding a Back, but it was breaking almost every emulator, causing lots of weird issues, from PPSSPP not recognizing D-Pad and analog sticks, to a bunch of others not accepting input at all.
Thank you Russ for such amazing content and useful guides, reviews and online resources. I bought my retroid pocket 3+ probably almost a year ago and took a completely wrong turn in the set up process trying to do it myself. Skip forward to this week after recently moving house, finally settling in and thought I'd dust off my retroid paperweight. I now have daijsho running, games are looking great upscaled and running perfectly. I have watched your content purely out of awe and interest in these devices and I now have my retroid, my miyoo mini+, RG35XX all set up and a miyo mini v4 on the way. Props to you sir!
I just got a retroid pocket 3. i don't see myself buying another device anytime soon, which makes it seem like i've gotten all the value out of the channel's content that is useful for me individually. however, this guide was so useful, and so well made, that i feel i owe you the sub, like and comment. thank you! you have saved me immeasurable time and allowed me to get to playing my games so much faster than me trying to figure this all out independently.
If you notice a white bar to the right of your game window, which can grow annoying, that is a pullout window provided by the custom RP3 OS, which you can disable from the android pull down menu. Exit your apps, pull from top, and among the icons you'll see a controller icon you can disable.
Really? He makes it seem FAR more complicated than downloading an ArcadePunks RPi-400 image to flash to chip for plug & play perfection with better hardware. All you need is a RaspberryPi 4 (or 400) and a 15”-17” flat panel monitor ($7, Bibles for Mexico), hdmi-vga converter for a laptop-sized system ($7-$10 online) or a Pi4 and press-on small GPIO display and plug it in for a 4-5”+ handheld. The fact finding premade, preset, configured MicroSDs with Roms up the wazoo compaired to Pi is my concern. Yes, I want a product that has done *everyrything forbmenalready*. That’s the point of every computer: me turn on power, me play games I want.
Just ordered one of these based on your review! I have the retroid pocket 2 and while I enjoyed it, this seems like a pretty good update. Thanks for the super in depth guide and I will absolutely be using it once my unit arrives.
@@Beekeeper8011 I ordered mine on the 3rd and it finally showed up yesterday. I did the 4PX shipping which I heard can take longer. They also have a delivery dashboard on their site that says when you should expect it based on which one you ordered and when you ordered. Hope this helps!
@@Jackzira the third of October, right? So basically about a one month turn around. Did the box come with extra buttons to install? Also which color did you get?
@@Beekeeper8011 yeah about a month. I got the black with 3GB ram. Extra buttons did not come with it. It seems the membrane buttons are already installed as they don’t feel like the clicky ones I’ve seen on the first batch. I think once you order after a certain date you don’t get any of the extra stuff except a screen protector.
Bouta get my rp3 and I just cant wait I have watched like 30 of your videos so I already know what I am doing. Your my favorite content creator and never stop making videos. 😎
I definitely appreciate all of these starter guides you make. After upgrading to an Odin Lite my RP3 has just sat in a drawer, but I've got a friend who will use it. I'm having fun going through these tutorials again to set it up from scratch. I'm thinking once I've got it ready I might just disable the "quick menu" hotkey so he doesn't end up in Retroarch and not know what to do.
Just bought a Retrid pocket 4 pro, this will be my first handheld device, use mainly for emulate old games, can't wait to start playing with him! Thanks for the channel.
Thanks man. I don't know computers very well and had zero knowledge of emulation but after watching this video and your retroarch guide I set up my retroid pocket 3 in about an hour and have been playing ever since! thanks bro!!
I miss Chicken. I am finally decided to configure correctly my RP3, and then there it is, one of the best sections: the Cat break with Chicken. A real feature of the show.
Wife is buying me a 3 plus for birthday I'm Super stoked. Will be here in a couple days. So let me just say thank you for the in depth starter guide. Your videos have been awesome for helping pick out gear. ( been using a psp for a long while to retro game) but I'm super excited to have android based. Gives me the ability to have retroarch ( like on my computer, thanks for that guide too), audible, low grade android games, and a few other apps. And not having wifi on psp really sucks cause I can't load up game guides or anything else.
What an excellent video. I ordered the white 3gig one just yesterday. Your video here makes me feel so much better about being successful with mine when it arrives. Subscribed.
I got myself a RP3+ based on this video + the review of the newest edition. It's fantastic, and I used this guide to set up everything about it! I'm so, so happy with it and couldn't be more pleased with this guide! I seem to have a unique issue where NES games (no matter what core I've selected), fail to booth, either in Retroarch or in the Retroid frontend. I've tried multiple cores, both .7z and .nes file types, and am able to run all of the other platforms just fine. Has anyone run into this issue with NES specifically? Any tips? Overall, and again, an amazing guide for a wonderful product. Keep up the good work!
I may have just been scared outta buying the RP3 plus. I have it all ready to purchase but, eeeh. I'm just not savvy technologically. I'll go watch your other videos and re-watch this one again. Thank you very much for all your hard work.
I'd really like a little more power out of the Retroid Pocket 3, I'll wait for the 3+ or 4 iteration but I like the overall design and form factor for this device. I like it over the blocky and square 2+ :)
this channel is fantastic having said that. I'm 44. not super tech savvy. struggling big time with 1 area 1) Where do I get games? I can follow all of his directions but I need help with where to go to get my games.
Thank you for that insane compilation of work. I have no idea what I’m doing and this has saved my stupid ass. It’s a shame these devices don’t come with everything working as you want it to, but I suspect it has something to do with all the legal issues you bring up as you’re talking about downloading BIOS files and such. Thanks again!
@Retro Game Corps When I put the SD card into my retroid pocket 3 and then open the retroid launcher to prepare the SD card for bios and ROMs it works fine but then when put it into my computer it wo t let me access the SD card. It automatically wants to format the SD card and gives me a error saying " the volume doesn't contain a recognized file system" anyone have any advice? Thanks.
Thank you so much for teaching me. I ordered RP3+ for me and my doughter. She plays many games and they are expensive. I am hoping we could have a great time playing games i grew up with. All files are sorted and ready for the day we recive them. I am hyped. Thank you for the hard work and splended guides both videos and text.
This video is incredible. So well explained, exhaustive, and professional. This is a well deserved sub to your channel. I've purchased the RP3 just today, and I can't wait to put my hands on it to make a good use of this tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks for this video! I thought I could setup the RP3 myself without a guide but was banging my head against a wall with some things not working right Your guide is a great resource! Finally can enjoy the RP3 now 😀
I had the rp2+ and I was click baited into buying the rp3, not realising it was the same chipset. I was never happy with the rp2+, particularly the dpad was useless for fighting games. The launcher still stinks, but the rp3 is such a better system and I'm glad I got it. The dpad is superb, can dragon punch till the cows come home.
There are a lot of PS2 and GC games that will run well - some without tweaks and some with. Final Fantasy X runs well on it, for instance. And I just saw a vid of someone running Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 well too. Game performance is definitely on a case-by-case basis. Don't expect to play everything and you'll probably be pleasantly surprised - especially if you do the performance tweaks, which are not difficult to do for the most part.
I know that I was anticipating trying to run Paper Mario TYYD as pretty much my only gamecube game i was going to run on mine (when i get it. in theory it would have been in yesterday's delivery window but no tracking email sent...) I'm really looking forward to seeing how it all runs and especially if I can manage to run my various randomized versions of the different games (FF1, DQ3, FF4FE, FF6WC, etc) as well as my psp stuff since i got this specifically because my psp is just too difficult to maintain properly anymore. I've seen reviews elsewhere suggesting FFX didn't run great for them, but i suspect they didn't really tweak the settings (one even said as much). Hope you've been getting good use out of yours!
@@mbjac It depends on the kind of content you make. Keep in mind these videos are relatively really long, they contain no copyrighted material (so zero need to share revenue with copyright holders), and their nature as guides means most people are going to watch large chunks of them, most will watch to the end. That's huge for revenue.
Retro Game Corp thank you for the video starter guide. If you put internal storage it expands the internal storage on android best method expanding storage.
Of course they just ran out of units and now they're not even shipping til the end of the year. Just fantastic. Edit: I contacted them and they said that if I ordered one today I would probably get it by next month. The August date is talking about when the units shipped. It's confusing but I'm glad they clarified.
@@dorbei unfortunately that's just how everything is today. It sucks but there's not much you can do. I'm still going to get it but I'm probably buying from aliexpress.

I wonder if Taki Udon will stop whinning and finally give Retroid Pocket 3 a proper review, LOL!
Great video! Thank you for helping me set up everything from settings and emulators to the sd card! 👌🏼
Ordered a retroidpocket 3+ 😜🤙🏼

Just for the retroarch part, the video was worth watching it. And on top the rest of the video is very useful as well!

Nice video, as well. 👍
This guy best in business reviews
Thanks for the guide, just ordered this badboy.
This video is incredible. So well explained, exhaustive, and professional. This is a well deserved sub to your channel. I've purchased the RP3 just today, and I can't wait to put my hands on it to make a good use of this tutorial. Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
Oh I can't wait to get my RP3+ in the mail
Wow what a great video! Nice job.
Selling my Retroid Pock 3 in India (Bangalore). 3GB/32 GB Version. Listed in Olx. New condition.
Thanks for this video! I thought I could setup the RP3 myself without a guide but was banging my head against a wall with some things not working right Your guide is a great resource! Finally can enjoy the RP3 now 😀
god like tutorial. thank you. def an inspiration to establish an expertise on this stuff after watching. my retroid3+ is set up and ready to go.
This is one of the best channels on RUclips thank you for everything 👍
lets go definitely worth wile considering you helped me get into the powkiddy v90
Your guides are all amazing thank you !
I cannot get the hotkeys to work at ALL, for some reason.
Thank you! This was an incredible guide! I would have gotten really frustrated doing this on my own.
Gotta thank you and Chicken for such a helpful guide, RGC! 🎮
I had the rp2+ and I was click baited into buying the rp3, not realising it was the same chipset. I was never happy with the rp2+, particularly the dpad was useless for fighting games. The launcher still stinks, but the rp3 is such a better system and I'm glad I got it. The dpad is superb, can dragon punch till the cows come home.
I picked one of these up a bit ago but setting it up is such a daunting pain I think I'm just going to sell it lol
Thanks. This helped a lot. Still not done, but I know where to go and if I ever forget, I have this video saved to Favorites.
Woah, that was fast! Thanks RGC!
thank you so much for the time invested and helping amateurs like me Waitting for my black one to arrive, i think it will take at least 2 months still
This is a great tutorial... for me in Germany the RP3 is expansive at the moment...
130€ RP3 - Taxes 39€ - Shipping 38€
Damn Inflation....
Paid 150€ a week ago and it shoul take the plane tomorrow.
@@miclu_x at the moment its expansive to Import to europe.... damn taxes
There are a lot of PS2 and GC games that will run well - some without tweaks and some with. Final Fantasy X runs well on it, for instance. And I just saw a vid of someone running Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 well too. Game performance is definitely on a case-by-case basis. Don't expect to play everything and you'll probably be pleasantly surprised - especially if you do the performance tweaks, which are not difficult to do for the most part.
I know that I was anticipating trying to run Paper Mario TYYD as pretty much my only gamecube game i was going to run on mine (when i get it. in theory it would have been in yesterday's delivery window but no tracking email sent...) I'm really looking forward to seeing how it all runs and especially if I can manage to run my various randomized versions of the different games (FF1, DQ3, FF4FE, FF6WC, etc) as well as my psp stuff since i got this specifically because my psp is just too difficult to maintain properly anymore. I've seen reviews elsewhere suggesting FFX didn't run great for them, but i suspect they didn't really tweak the settings (one even said as much). Hope you've been getting good use out of yours!
How about Mario Kart Double Dash on GC?
@@Dawnseeker_Ch What is the large amount of maintenance you're having to do to keep your PSP up and running?
Still amazes me how he does all this for free...
You don’t think he gets money for making these videos?
@@Pridetoons I have a friend that has well over 400k subs on RUclips and he earns a very meager amount from ad revenue...
@@mbjac It depends on the kind of content you make. Keep in mind these videos are relatively really long, they contain no copyrighted material (so zero need to share revenue with copyright holders), and their nature as guides means most people are going to watch large chunks of them, most will watch to the end. That's huge for revenue.
It’s not for free he makes money.
Free?
Retro Game Corp thank you for the video starter guide. If you put internal storage it expands the internal storage on android best method expanding storage.
Of course they just ran out of units and now they're not even shipping til the end of the year. Just fantastic. Edit: I contacted them and they said that if I ordered one today I would probably get it by next month. The August date is talking about when the units shipped. It's confusing but I'm glad they clarified.
Don't wait for these clowns. There are better devices available.
@@dorbei unfortunately that's just how everything is today. It sucks but there's not much you can do. I'm still going to get it but I'm probably buying from aliexpress.
Omg your cat looks identical to mine. Awesome
Thanks a lot! Waiting for mine to arrive.
Was not planning on getting this for my collection. I might consider it now.
Just purchased this one. Hopefully I get it soon. I'll be using this as a guide.
