I keep telling everyone this man is a legend in the gaming community. Give him his flowers 💐🌹💐🌹💐💐💐

[@blainelocklair]

Thank you! Nice of you to say. :)

[@NathanHassall]

Hey thank you so much for the straight forward step by step on this...45 year old retro gamer here with his first Android device. Cheers!

[@blainelocklair]

Thanks for your kind words! Gamer with 52 years under his belt here that has successfully avoided the Darwin Awards and stayed in the gene pool. 🤣

[@obscurelight]

No retroarch app in my playstore 😢

[@MKSubzer0]

Depending what you wanna play Nintendo or super for Nintendo I downloaded the app GBA emulator and for super nintendo snes9x

[@PopularAggression]

I couldnt find it on play store either so instead Google retroarch apk. It will bring up a link to retroarch on the playstore.

[@blainelocklair]

Strange. Just as a possibility, did you look in the Google Play Store or the Samsung one? I think Samsung has their own unique store with about the same app label as the Google one. Worth double checking, just in case.

[@byntoyt]

The retroarch website provides an apk

[@obscurelight]

@@blainelocklair I found it in samsung store , thanks for the tip 😇

[@D3adlyTr33zy_PLAYZ]

BLAINE I APPRECIATE YOU MAN. LIVING LEGEND. I LEARNT TO JAILBREAK MY FIRST PS3 FROM YOU MAN

[@SSJTramm]

Is there a way to put your fan game in the playlist with the other game boy games. So that all offical and fan games for a system are in one place?

[@blainelocklair]

As long as I understand the question right, yes. The ROMs can go anywhere you'd like, so long as you go to the "Settings" -> "Directories" menu and tell RetroArch where your ROMs are stored on your device / microSD. As for playlists, though, they can be a bit - "fickle" - about finding homebrew titles, so you might have to load them from the "Load Content" menu and then open them from the "History" section for future ease of access.

[@igodreamer7096]

Great video, straight to the point. Thanks again, Blaine man! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@blainelocklair]

You're welcome, and thanks for your kind words! :)

[@kjjas2508]

Thanks for the tutorial mate. Out of curiosity, what software are you using to mirror your phone to your laptop?

[@LunaECG]

How am I always so early on these videos?

[@blainelocklair]

ESP. It has to be ESP. :)

[@JamDecks]

My play store says the app is not made for the new firmware?

[@blainelocklair]

Two possibilities, maybe. What part of the world are you in? Might make a difference. Also, make sure you use the "Google Play Store" and not another one like the Galaxy Store or other proprietary store.

[@Rashmi____3400]

Thanks dude you were such a help!!

[@warrenjenkins9246]

Fantastic work again

[@blainelocklair]

Thank you! Much appreciated. :)

[@SuperLiteYT]

I saw your ps3 4.91 jailbreak vid(i am commenting here because you will probably not respond on a video from a month ago) Will it work with model 2501B

[@pawekosinski9671]

Dose GBA, NES, etc. require also BIOSes? Not explained when the BIOS is needed

[@concretywatch]

You need only the bios if you want to have the main menu of the console. If you only want to play the game, you dont need a bios file

[@joses.6821]

Do you have one of these ,for pc/laptop? I have a gaming laptop with a 3060 in it. I would like to emulate on it. Thank you.

[@blainelocklair]

It's got a little bit of dust settled on it, so to speak. That's kinda code speak for the video is a bit older. Kida like me. 🤣 But yes, I do. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF7dopirmbxgmdE

[@okram6486]

Is it because im in germany i cant find the app in the store?

[@player4lifept469]

How to search for games on SD Memory Card and not on the memory of the phone?

[@blainelocklair]

Well, if you mean where to download them online, it's not permitted on KZbin. However, if you mean where to put them on the actual SD card itself, you can really put them wherever you'd like. Then go in to RetroArch settings, them "Directory", then you can set the paths for the BIOS and ROM files from there to your specific location on the SD card.

[@ZaynSearch]

PS4 11.50 I Need jailbreak

[@NickTaylor-Phantom-Works2]

Orrrr, if you live in UK, there's no versions. Fortunately, I have a galaxy phone, and it's on Samsungs own equivalent to the playstore.

[@blainelocklair]

Wow. Didn't know the UK didn't have it. Thanks for letting me know.

[@victormercado4478]

Wouldn't Retroarch's website have the apk file instead of using Google Play store?

[@Mega6468]

Yeah, this is a simple guide so it's using the play store version

[@Georgian_Warrior]

Do I need a computer?

[@TB93Zombie]

Mr @BlaineLocklair Hi.This is Thunder Bird93 and i wanted to ask you about this,Can you make a full guide video on getting the ps2 rom emulator on Android and IOS? 🥺But this time not for ps3. Because i tried to do it but i really need your help with it.🙏🏾

[@blainelocklair]

Thanks for chiming in! I will definitely look into it.

[@beem289]

Can you show it without using pc

[@blainelocklair]

Well, you can actually just download your ROM and BIOS files directly onto your device. Then point RetroArch to the ROM and BIOS files stored on your device. That setting is under the settings section, then "Directory", and the top two settings in "Directory" let you customize the location of BIOS and ROM files.

[@closwestend]

Legend

[@blainelocklair]

Thank you so much! :)
