Excellent job on making one of the most useful videos I've seen for the 4 Pro! I'm going to order a 4 pro as my first retro handheld, and was wondering how the setup process went. I'll be following along with this video when it arrives. I was thinking the setup would be the hardest part, but now it's deciding which color to order! 🤣

Hmmm I haven’t noticed but that is a possibility. You should report the issue to Retroid so they can look into it for their next update.

It's probably only works for games that uses the vibration feature, some GameCube and PS2 games not all. All retro games that came before doesn't use the feature, not sure about Switch since I've never played it.

GOW crashed when I was fighting Hydra and Lego Batman crashed during the fight with two face. any ideas. I am using Vulkan, 1.75x. I also tried under clocking and other changes and got the same results. others emulator like PPSSPP work fine, fan was set on smart and High Permormance.

Hey there. The only thing I would change is some of the emulators. I would use Dolphin for Handheld for GameCube and for 3DS I haven’t tested Canary on the 2S so if it doesn’t work try Citra MMJ. And use a lower resolution output in the settings of most of my emulator setups.

Would have been easier if you just showed nstalling the emulator apps over obtanium. Less steps. You didn't show the feature in OdinTools where you can set your controller per app/emulator. Also you didn't set to kill the running emulators in daijisho and had to kill them manually each start of a new game.

Why is this even a issue? Its practically a mini PC. Most of the apps you install from the GooglePlay Store. Etc. Maybe if you could explain the biggest/major issue with using Android then i could see where youre coming from, but i found it very intuitive, and obvious. Or at least, there wasnt any moment where i was thinking, "wow how do i install this? or how do i start my emulator up after ive moved games?", Everything is very point and click.
