Daijisho Ultimate Setup Guide!

[@mtterzoli]

You are a great teacher. You know how to break things down and make them super clear and simple to understand.

[@retrohandhelds]

Joey, this guide is awesome! Now I can't wait to setup Daijisho again 🎉

[@Cyko..]

Daijisho is pretty awesome. I've been using it for a while. I love how when you're viewing games in your library it will automatically load a video in the background of that game. This saves a TON of space, as I usually scrape videos to go with my roms on other devices.

[@Qubasar]

Great video Joey! My RG405M is on the way and it's gonna be first Android handheld I have. I'm a bit worried about Android/Daijisho setup progress because in Linux side, most things are already configured. This guide will be very helpful to people like me who got their first Android handheld device.

[@danandtab7463]

ha! thanks for the section at 5:34. I' have a new Pocket 2S, and am new to this fiddling around with android, (which may explain my terrible luck emulating on my Galaxy Tab) and this "kill the process" box was downright maddening. I must've accidentally gotten this working on a couple of systems. Now to get emulators to remember my controller layout, that's my next challenge...

[@joeylo2365]

HI Joey, this is Joey from Hong Kong, Daijisho is really awesome, thx!

[@brandenprateek273]

Is there anyway to view a folder/subfolder in the library? like NES/platform? it usually shows all the games in the list, which is quite confusing and overwhelming

[@NickTaylor-Phantom-Works2]

This's really starting to feel like a community. Cool video. Couldn't have got the thing working without it. BUT.....PS2 bios files - I've got roms, but it's like daijisho won't acknowledge that they're in the file. I've got 8/16 bit and MAME all working fine. It's just ps2 and x68000 I got issues with. Though x68000 recognises that there's games in the file, they just won't launch. Cheers guys.

[@Cunningcox]

Apologies, I forgot to mention that both M64plus and Redream used to work but recently doesn't. I'm not sure which update broke them on Android 13. Would you recommend retroarch instead for N64, Dreamcast and Saturn rather than standalone?

Just the cores, check the why my games don't load section of the video, guarantee you have the wrong one selected from daijisho.

Thanks for the guidance, though with more testing it looks like it's a bug/limitation of RetroArch with Daijisho when using external storage for games as RetroArch can't read the path.
