to switch between mouse and controller mode if you aren’t doing all of this in controller

and map stick X & Y, you just need to move each stick in one of the directions for these.

{Flycast config fix comment by u/Chainsaurus} : You need to goto the gamepad config file for
flycast and edit the line towards the bottom where it shows the deadzone value and erase
the line. Go into the folder where your directory path is set for flycast. In a folder called
mappings, there should be Android_Playstation3.cfg. Or you can just install Reicast 20.02b
and not have that issue and still have the same performance, in some games Reicast works
better and vice-versa. {Fixed with Reicast 20.02b onwards then?}
{Taki has mapping .cfg file that should fix this?}

This page contains standalone emulator options for systems that will run on the RP2.

For the preinstalled emulators on the RP2, it is not recommended to update the apps, as the Retroid developers seem to have chosen these builds because they run well on the device.

Dreamcast Configuration Tips

Configuration for Dreamcast is done through reicast, and then ROMs played in flycast as it has better performance. Download flycast here and open the APK using File Explorer. The latest 6 MB versions are noted to perform better than the 11 MB builds.

Open reicast and click on the DC bios and format memory card 1. For controller settings, set the ports of all to none, and the port for Android Playstation to A. Click Map, and map the buttons to their appropriate locations - you may not need to map all buttons. Click Done, then Done again. You may now close reicast.

Launch flycast, which shares a config with reicast, and load and play your game.

If there are issues with the controller, you may need to modify the .cfg file in flycast. To do this, go into the directory path for flycast and find the folder named mappings. Inside, there should be a file names Android_Playstation3.cfg. Open the file, scroll to the bottom, and erase the line for deadzone value. This should not be needed if reicast 20.02b or newer is installed, or if you have used the .cfg file from the Taki Discord.
