Tired of emulators creating tons of images in your picture gallery? Create a .nomedia file. It will hide every image in the same folder (+ subfolders).
The Retroid Pocket 2 Plus has two controller style: Xbox and Retro. If you enjoy the A button (Right) as your select/accept then choose Retro. I'd recommend sticking with Xbox for game and app compatibility.
To set input style or check other input related options: Android setting > Handheld Settings > Input

If you're ever needing to type out your folder path on the device:
| Storage | Path |
|---|---|
| Internal Storage | /storage/emulated/0/ |
| External micro SD Card | /storage/sdcard0/ |
- External SD card can also appear as /storage/xxxx-xxxx/ (x = random string of numbers). It's best to use /storage/sdcard0/ in this case if your swapping out multiple mirco SD card.
- When switching portable storages to another micro sd card, make sure to re-add the path as the /storage/xxxx-xxxx/ has changed.
To update:Android Settings > System > Updater
- If your having issues checking for updates try changing your WiFi connection and make sure your time zone is correct.
