    Corrections For M64Plus FZ, in the settings sidebar after you've created your controller mapping, go to Profiles > Select Profiles > Controller 1 Profile and choose the mapping you created. For Dolphin MMJR, to change the Emulated Cpu Clock Speed to work, you have to click the checkmark above for "Override Emulated CPU Clock Speed" To get Daijisho to respect your save states for standalone Duckstation, and load automatically into your save state from it, you need version Duckstation0-1-4582. Newest one broke that functionality. For PS2, you might want to try leaving EE Cycle Rate & Skip at 0 first then adjusting like my video afterwards for games that don't work. For ReDream, you might have an issue where it says not compatible for this device in the Play Store, feel free to grab the APK directly from here: apkpure.com/redream/io.recompiled.redream

    If you got the RG405M recently and you're wondering why you can't drag to remove the home apps like he does around the 3:10 mark, it's because you have to tap and hold the home screen, go to home settings, home screen, and select "with app drawer".

    I am going to add in some possible hot key alternatives. The one thing I loved about the linux builds with anbernic devices was the function hotkey enabler capabilities. Android won't let me remap the back button, but then I really thought, why do I need a hotkey enabler. So, now my hotkeys are just loating out there. Menu = L3+R3 Quit= Start+Select Save=R2 Load=L2 FF=right analog right Rewind= right analog left pause= R3 Mute=L3 I have found this so unobtrusive and functional, I'm loving it. It didn't work when I used retroarch for PS1, but now I am moving to duckstation and this works perfect for all 8+16 bit games

    A couple of points to note. Yaba Sanshiro 2 only lets you change your directory in the pro version, not the free version. Also you can avoid ads in Aethersx2 by playing offline; this only depends on whether you want to disconnect from wifi when playing PS2 or not. But great video regardless, feels good to finally have more stable PS2 framerates.

    I had a few issues with mine, I powered down and when I turned it back on again, my SD card needed reformatting and everything crashed every five seconds. So I reset it and since removing the questionable apps (apptoide, APKPure) and inbuilt emulators, I've had no such issue. Now I can install Minecraft and others on Google Play no problem and haven't lost the games I spent hours ripping from my Dreamcast collection again. Though I still love this handheld now it works, glad it was my first foray into retro devices.

    For whatever reason I just cannot get Gamma OS to install via my laptop (and I bought the 405M for that) but this video has got me close enough that this is now by far my favourite handheld (I've had the 353M, Miyoo Mini Plus and Retroid Pocket 3+). The build quality is unreal, the D Pad is perfect and if you're happy with the 4:3 era this is getting close to perfection. I'd still stack the shoulder buttons for the few games that need them (although I've just been customising the controls to move accelerate/brake to the buttons on Dreamcast racing games) and as 4:3 device I would have loved for the stick and pad to be swapped around, but it's a wonderful thing overall.

    He has a more detailed video for the rg556 on his channel, I’m using that and this to kind of do the setup best. He deletes stuff to add back because he doesn’t trust the version of software anbernic adds themselves, I believe. Just provides a clean slate to customize himself. I recommend you watch the rg556 video though, even if you don’t have the device.

    Depending on if you followed the guide to the end, we swap to Daijisho as the home app - as the home screen on Android just becomes useless. So pushing and holding the home button always brings you back to Daijisho, and you can use the Apps tab to load any non-game apps if you want. If you want to use the Android home screen instead for whatever reason, just change the default home app back to Quickstep.

    Ok, first off bro, you are a beast at this, and I'm so glad for it. I just got the new 405v and I was pretty much able to follow your tutorial beat for beat with only a few discrepancies along the way. It took me two whole days to get all of this done, mostly cause my kids wouldn't give me 5 minutes at my computer and I had to do a full reorganizing of my roms... I've got a good question for you though... so on my device, I have a button on the left side that when pressed jumps me into a front-end, I think it's retro arch? But it's sloppy. I don't like how the rooms are just dumped on the memory card, the file paths are a mess, names, box art, it's all trash. But this daijisho, it's clean. Is there a way I can make it so that button launches this app instead of the trash one anbernic has on there? If I can pull that off, I'm set. Please do a video like this for the 405v if you can!

    This was easier to set up than expected - thank you! This is a long shot, but I received my RG405M a few days ago and on occasion, the screen starts doing ghost inputs where there are random screen touch presses. When it happens, it's very hard to override and control it in order to restart or shutdown the device which seems to clear the issue. I've seen a few reddit posts about it and I'm on the fence if this is something I can fix / live with, or should just do a return/exchange. It's not often that it happens and I can't nail down what triggers this weird behavior.

I purchased it new off Amazon. I'm afraid if I return it with my configurations and Daijisho still on it, they will blame the issue on me.

I’m new to these devices or anything rom. Never played a rom in my life and don’t know where to start. Any chance you can share all your rom folders for each system? Do I stick in an sd card if all my rom libraries before I start the set up process? Hope you can help out a noob new to retro gaming!

    I have noticed audio lag with all emulators in Android since it came out on every device from weak to super powerful. It is an Android problem, their audio drivers were shit and still are. Google refuses to fix it. Those that say there is no audio lag just don't notice it. It is really easy to spot just look at an on screen animation like a bullet shot or explosion, you always hear the sound after the graphic effect.

Are these something that the 405 is importing from your playstore apps (i.e. with Android playstore you already have Retroarch, Aether, PPSSPP) all your ROMs are on there and the 405 just syncs with your playstore profile? Where are my ROM folders? How do I create a ROM folder? Do I need to download all these apps on my computer and then look for ROMs on the internet? So many questions...

    If you're like me and don't like using hotkey enablers, you can set the back button to open Retroarch menu with some fenangling. I managed to do it by selecting it in the options, then swapping back to daijsho while the prompt to hold a button comes up. THEN, swap back to Retroarch while HOLDING the back button. It will let you assign it, and won't auto-return to Daijsho. Weird workaround, but it works! I also set Quitting the game to L3+R3. This works great! Especially if you also play on hardcore mode in retroachievements and don't need save/load state and rewind buttons.
