Retroid provides a RetroArch config themselves.

You can enable this by opening the Retroid Launcher > Setup > RetroArch Setup

Here's a few settings I go through personally whenever I load and setup RetroArch myself

• Video of Setup

• If your using Retroids own Retroarch.cfg simply: Open Retroid Launcher > Setup > RetroArch Setup > Ok

• Update 1.10.0 changed the vendor id for the controller so you will need to update the controller config.
• Open RetroArch by itself > Input > Port 1 Controls > Update each button > Save Controller Profile > Exit RetroArch
• If using multiple RetroArch's (64bit & 32bit) update controller config for both
• If your A/B are flipped for the menu after updating controls:RetroArch > Settings > Input > Menu Controls > Menu Swap OK and Cancel Buttons > Enable or Disable to your preference
• Video

• Right Click > Save Link As
• Download only one cfg your RP2+ control style currently set too (Android Settings > Handheld Settings > Input > Controller Style)
• Video

These are preset core config files for the Options in the RetroArch Quick Menu. These files and folders are simply for those that are too lazy to find out which options should be set.

Place these core config files into the config folder.

Make sure to also include the folder of the cores name.

These directory's can be switched by navigating to: RetroArch > Settings > Directory

File Browser on Android

RetroAchievements are achievements for retro games. Simply create an account with RetroAchievements and sign in on RetroArch.

RetroArch > Settings > Achievements > On

Please note that cores that appear on this list might not be supported on the Retroid Pocket 2 Plus. This list just covers cores that support RetroAchievements

Some cores support a feature called softpatching. Meaning it can apply a patch (in .UPS, .IPS or .BPS extensions) on the fly.

Simply place the patch in the same folder as the rom and make sure its the same name.

Example

./Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon SuperS - Fuwafuwa Panic (Japan).ips
./Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon SuperS - Fuwafuwa Panic (Japan).zip

If the core doesn't support softpatching you can use online patching tools.
