There are no changeable settings for emulators within RetroidOS, and currently there is no way to add new emulation cores. Switch to the AndroidOS for custom options.


RetroidOS supports the following systems out of the box, with the listed emulator cores for Retroarch:

== Emulation within Android OS ==
== Emulation within Android OS ==


The Android OS on the RP2 comes pre-installed with standalone Emulator apps and RetroArch (1.8.4), a single application with the ability to emulate many systems cores.  
It is generally not recommended to update the Emulators, as the Retroid developers chose these builds because they run well on the device. This can be done however as emulators and retroarch cores get improvements all the time.
 
Emulation is generally prioritised as a [https://www.retroarch.com/ RetroArch] core first, then a stand alone Emulator second. Retroarch offers internal options across mltiple systems, including Online Leaderboards, image filters, and save file paths to allow you to save to a google drive or dropbox for cross console play.
 
The Retroid Pocket 2 comes pre-installed with two versions of RetroArch 1.5.0 only for the GBA gpSP core, and 1.8.4 for all other cores. (see table below)


Also included is a single RetroArch (1.5.0) app, exclusively for the best performing GBA (gpSP) Core.
For help setting up and using Retroarch on the RP2, see [[A Brief Guide to Retroarch]].


It is generally not recommended to update emulators, as the Retroid developers chose these builds because they run well on the device. This can be done however if you choose to, as emulators and RetroArch cores get improvements all the time.
The RP2 Comes pre-installed with Stand alone Emulators: (see table below)


Emulation is generally prioritised as a [https://www.retroarch.com/ RetroArch] core first, then a stand alone Emulator second. RetroArch offers internal options across multiple systems, including Online Leaderboards, image filters, and save file paths to allow you to save to a Google Drive or Dropbox for cross-console play.
The one paid Emulator that does not come standard and many recommended is DraStic for Nintendo DS emulation.


For help setting up and using RetroArch on the RP2, see [[A Brief Guide to Retroarch]].
*Flycast - You will need to configure Reicast and configure the Bios. See [https://wiki.retroidhandhelds.com/index.php?title=Emulators#Dreamcast_Configuration_Tips DC Configuration Tips] at the bottom of this page (Flycast is not included on beta batch units).


The only emulator that does not come standard is DraStic (which is recommended) for Nintendo DS emulation; it can be [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsemu.drastic&hl=en_US&gl=US purchased from the Google Play Store].
*MAME4droid(0.139u1) - You will need a .139 MAME Romset.


*Mupen64Plus FZ - Use recommended rendering profile per game for optimal performance. [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/742403626634575903/756279168098107422/mupen64plus-fz.7z Here] is Mupen's settings & render profiles if you lose them, copy to internal storage.


Listed below is a table of standalone emulators & RetroArch Cores for best performance. Systems listed as A are Recommended (usually installed as default) and optimal for the Retroid Pocket 2, although harder to emulate systems may still show issues.
*N64oid - Right joystick will not map.
 
*NeoDroid - NeoGeo MVS Emulator - Compatible with MAME Roms. Put neogeo.zip bios file in your roms directory “/sdcard/neodroid/roms”.
 
*PPSSPP - Use the recommended profile settings per game for optimal performance.
 
*Reicast - The back end for Flycast (beta units only have Reicast installed).
 
*ScummVM - Shows no directories on launch. Fix is to search for a game and place a “/“ in the search box and select “Choose”. This will bring up the directory listing.

===== N64 Emulation Tips (new) =====
You can use N64 in your RP2 with RetroArch (so you can use RetroAchievements, for instance). Not every game runs perfect, and many need further tweaking, but overall you should be pleasantly surprised.
 
With over 300 games tested with the universal profile provided by Expertwooden,
Retroid Pocket 2 is now able to play most of the [https://www.webmulator.com/games/nintendo-64 N64 games] smoothly without further configurations.
You can find the video tutorial here or follow the steps below:
https://youtu.be/nF8Mb9WIF5Q
 
# In the main menu (outside a game) select 'profile' → 'select profiles' → 'manage profiles'
# Select the profile named 'GlideN64-Fast' and click copy
# Rename it to whatever, like 'Universal Profile
# Find and disable the 'Enable noise emulation' and 'Enable LOD emulation' options.
# Go back to the main menu and select 'profile' → 'Select profiles'
# Find your newly created profile and select it.
 
You will need a specific Mupen64 FZ version:

Configuration for the pre-installed Flycast Standalone app is done through the pre-installed Reicast app. Flycast will have a better performance than Reicast.

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.

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 named Android_Playstation3.cfg. Open the file, scroll to the bottom, and erase the line for dead zone value. This should not be needed if Reicast 20.02b or newer is installed, or if you have used the .cfg file.
