If you set it to Internal storage, you will then be able to install apps on the SD card to save space, but you won’t be able to plug the SD card into your PC - instead, you will have to plug the device into the PC and transfer files via USB instead.

Portable storage means that you will be able to freely take the SD card out of the device and plug it into your PC, as demonstrated in the video above.

It will ask you to choose between the default portable storage option, or using the card as internal storage.

When using Android 10 or below, you may get prompted to “set the SD card up” when first inserting the SD card. If you have a microSD card slot on your device, you may have some decisions to make regarding how the storage works.

This guide will walk you through how to compress many of the CD-based systems PlayStation, Sega CD, Saturn, 3DO, Dreamcast, Jaguar, and TurboGrafx-CD (PC Engine CD). When building your ROM library, another handy trick is to compress your files to save on storage space. Here is more information about BIOS files. Note that PS2 BIOS files can be easily dumped from your PS2, or you will need to find them elsewhere. These files are copyrighted so you are on your own to find them, but a quick search for a RetroArch bios pack should get you on your way. BIOS files are system files necessary for some emulators (GBA, Sega CD, or PS1/PS2), and are helpful in improving accuracy with other systems.

If your game name matches the thumbnail name found in this directory, chances are that it will properly download the media for it.Īdditionally, an important component of a ROM library is maintaining BIOS files.

If you have a question as to how a game should be named, I recommend checking out the Libretro thumbnails directory, which is what many emulators pull from for their media files. By using no-intro naming, you will be more likely to get box art automatically added when you load up your games in RetroArch or most frontends. When getting ROM files, I recommend using the “No-Intro” naming convention, which is the standard naming used for ROM sets within RetroArch and other emulation communities. ROM files are copyrighted and will not be shared on this website. For PS2 and GameCube on lower-end Android devices, I recommend getting PAL region ROMs, because they cap out at 50Hz which will give you better performance than struggling to reach the standard 60Hz found in NTSC region ROMs.

Those noted with an asterix cannot play every game at full speed, and so performance may vary. Here is a general list of systems that can be played on Android. This controller also has a power passthrough, so you can charge the phone while playing (sadly the USB-C passthrough does not support video out).Īnother important aspect of retro gaming is to build your ROM library. This USB-C controller will wrap around the phone and provide a more seamless experience than clipping a controller to your phone. If you are using an Android phone, then I recommend a telescopic controller like the GameSir X2.

Note that in order to use a USB controller, you will also need an OTG adapter to plug the controller into the device’s USB-C port (you could also use a USB hub to plug in multiple controllers at once!).

You could use a bluetooth controller like the 8BitDo SN30 Pro, or a wired controller like the Betop BD2E. Speaking of controllers, there are plenty of options out there, but I prefer to use something that’s somewhat retro-friendly. You can use a larger card than these but then you’ll have a card that costs more than the device itself, and are you really going to play more than 512GB of games at once? 128GB cards: A 256GB or 512GB card will allow you to store even more of those larger games. A 128GB card will allow you to load EVERY 8-bit and 16-bit game out there, just all of the arcade games that work, and quite a few PS1, Dreamcast, PSP, GameCube, PS2, and Sega CD games (those systems have the largest file sizes). In general, I would expect to pay $20 for a 128GB card, $30 for a 256GB card, and $60 for a 512GB. The prices fluctuate all the time, so keep an eye out for deals. In general, I prefer the cards listed below, in order or preference. I recommend using a card from reputable brands like SanDisk or Samsung to use in your device. Some Android devices will have a microSD card slot, which is handy for storing game files. Sandisk (left) and Samsung (right) microSD cards
