2. Decide if you would like to run your device through internal or external storage (from your SD card). The pros and cons of both options can found on the wiki setup guide.

3. Decide if you would like to run a frontend or use Android directly, then read through the corresponding guide(s) and ask for assistance on the [https://discord.gg/RetroHandhelds Discord Server] or [https://www.reddit.com/r/retroid/ Subreddit] if anything is unclear.
