RetroArch Core: A Guide to Getting Started

Are you looking for a way to play classic games on your Retroid Pocket 2? Look no further than the RetroArch core, which technically runs games with some major issues. To get started, make sure to switch the settings to 'Atari 5200' and set the resolution to 336x240.

RetroArch offers internal options across multiple systems, including online leaderboards, image filters, and save file paths. This allows you to save your progress to Google Drive or Dropbox for cross-console play. For help setting up and using RetroArch on your RP2, check out A Brief Guide to Retroarch.

It's worth noting that emulation is generally prioritized as a RetroArch core first, then a standalone emulator second. It's also important to keep in mind that it's generally not recommended to update emulators, as the Retroid developers chose these builds because they run well on the device.

The Android OS on your RP2 comes pre-installed with standalone emulator apps and RetroArch (1.8.4), which includes many system cores. Additionally, you'll find a single RetroArch (1.5.0) app exclusively for the best-performing GBA (gpSP) Core.

To play a single disk game, such as Stunt Car Racer, from the main menu in RetroArch, select 'Load Content,' navigate to where your ADF file is stored, and select it.

RetroidOS supports several systems out of the box, including the Amiga, which requires specific BIOS files named and matched accordingly. To get started with the Amiga, you'll need to copy the Amiga Kickstart ROM files to the RetroArch system folder.

Overall, the RetroArch core is a great way to play classic games on your Retroid Pocket 2, but it's important to note that some games may experience issues due to their complexity. With some tweaking and experimentation, however, you can enjoy a wide range of classic games on your device.
