Android Emulators:
 
Do not update the pre-installed emulators. Retroid developers seem to have chosen specific
builds that run well on the device. Many users have reported issues when they updated
Mupen and a few with Retroarch {unsure and generalizing about the others}. So better not
update them until we know more.
 
Dreamcast --- Flycast***. Change controls from Reicast if needed, they transfer over
to Flycast. Look reddit info 2 below for more details and a Flycast fix.
 
N64 --- Mupen64Plus FZ***
 
PSP --- PPSSPP***
 
PS1 --- PCSX-R (also in RetroArch) {users reported ePSXe bugs}
 
NDS --- DraStic DS*** (paid) {can use L2 for screen swapping, R2 and right "analog"
to control stylus or use Taki file settings} Jump to reddit info 5 for a gamepad friendly
 
DS games list
 
GB/C/A --- My boy! / My OldBoy! (paid). Supports Link Cable
 
DOS --- Magic DosBox (paid, free version is ok)
 
Rest --- RetroArch {was hacked, mostly up. info: Reddit, site}
 
Look reddit info 1 below for more standalone emu suggestions

for DC, DS, N64, PSP. Later units may have some or all of these settings
preinstalled
 
Cosmetics & Other
 
(Non-essential suggestions to improve your UI. You can probably find more launchers and frontends online since I’m not focusing much on this section)
 
Reset Collection frontend (paid)
 
ARC browser frontend (paid)
 
ATV launcher pro launcher (paid)
 
{Get a launcher after emu setups to avoid confusion}
 
Wallpapers: You can find awesome community made wallpapers for the RP2 here. Since
that website isn’t always updated, its sources are this channel (Retroid Handhelds discord)
and r/retroid

Original Comment (I’ve cut the ones already suggested above and removed incompatible
ones)
 
Here is a list of emulators I have been using for years. I haven't tested all of these with the
Retroid Pocket yet so take it with a grain of salt. Some of these apps are paid and for the
quality I would suggest supporting their devs.
 
Nes = NES.EMU (paid) *
 
SNES = Snes9x EX+ (free) *
 
Genesis = MD.EMU (paid) *
 
NeoGeo = NEO.EMU (Paid) *
 
Turbografx 16 = PCE.EMU (Paid) *
 
Sega game gear = Nostalgia GG
 
Sega Master System = MD.EMU *
 
Sega CD = retroarch with genesis plus gx core
 
Turbografx cd = retroarch with Beetle PCE core
 
Virtual boy = retroarch with Beetle VB core
 
NeoGeo Pocket Color = retroarch with Beetle Neopop core
 
Atari Lynx = retroarch with Handy core
 
Mame arcade = MAME4droid (0.139u1) with identical romset.
 
Panasonic 3do = Real3DOPlayer
 
Atari 2600 = 2600.EMU


you will also need some BIOS files for Turbografx CD, panasonic 3do, and maybe a couple
others
