Emulation - Retro Gaming In Style

It's finally here -- a small 4:3 handheld that packs a punch AND with a high-resolution AMOLED display. Let's discuss all the reasons why I love the Retroid Pocket Mini, some of its promising future updates, and why it may or may not be the right handheld for you.

I absolutely love MinUI on my RG35XXSP, but I hated that it turned the power LED off. Initially I tried to fiddle with just disabling the part of the MinUI boot that turned off the LED, but then I realized that putting the console to sleep and turning it back on disabled the LED anyway. That was baked into the OS, and I didn’t want to recompile the whole thing just to disable that.

Enter this tool. It contains a script that gets set to run during boot to turn on the power LED and keep it on. It can also undo all of its changes by running the tool again. Since it does modify system files, I also figured out how to recover from any potential issues. I was unable to cause any significant issues during my testing, but the recovery plan is there nonetheless. Full documentation is available on the repo.

Let there be light!

Looks like they're going after forks or projects otherwise containing Yuzu code.

I read in the Suyu subreddit that some people are using the flatpak instead of the appimage to autoupdate the emulator, but obviously there is no information about a flatpak in their official site and there is no Suyu in flathub, so my best guess is that there is information about it in their Discord, but I do not use discord.

Does anyone know anything?

I know we're going to see a lot of new forks at the moment, and it's likely that the vast majority will stop developing soon, so which is the most promising fork for you?

With some google searches I found two options, but there are probably a thousand more, and they are: Lemonade and Lime. Lemonade seems to have a lot of commits in comparison to Citra, and Lime already has a release with some fixes.

And by the way, in case you didn't know, there is a very promising fork of Yuzu called Suyu.

I would absolutely LOVE to hear feedback from the community.

If you don't know what RetroAchievements is, now is a great time to check it out!

I used to use Retroarch in the past, but on a degoogled phone I can't get it to work, download cores etc.

On Retroarch, I used to play a lot with gambatte and a few shaders that made it look really close to how it was on gameboy/GBC. Now I find myself having to use pizzaboy instead and it looks quite bad in comparison, and the shaders make it even worse.

Anyone knows of a way to get back to my old usecase? Even Retroarch from fdroid refuses to work for me. On pc I am using standalone emulators for everything, but on the phone I really feel like Retroarch is the only good option for old systems/handhelds especially.

Hello,

I've been using this wiki for years to keep up on lesser know projects and to sort out what is fake and what is actually real when it comes to the latest systems.

Are there any other resources like this?
