You know Dweeb....I always overlooked Dig as it seems kinda primative compared to Dijisho, but I never really like that front end as it tried to do too much. After watching this video and setting Dig up on my RP3+, I'm really starting to like this front end for it's simplicity. Great video Dweeb keep up the good work. (PS. All these handhelds are exactly the same for the most part LOL)

As for variables to why, screen, controls + buttons, usability and comfort, ergonomics, wind resistance, weight on planet Mars.. you get the idea. Lastly, thanks for making such an entertaining show and you won't lose me as a fan..

I just received my Odin 2 max. I usually don’t use front ends. But I’m gonna attempt to be cool as you by setting up dig. I just hope dig can give me Japanese cover arts since all my games are Japanese. Yes I can speak read and write fluently in Japanese. That’s gotta be at least 1 cool point 😂
@TechDweeb
@TechDweeb 10 ай бұрын
Dig works great on the Odin 2! If you don't get the right box art, you can manually change any box you want by holding your finger on the box art and selecting "box cover" and you can find whatever cover you want on the browser that pops up (I often do that if I want a box that it didn't choose). Speaking Japanese and having Japanese box art is worth way more than 1 cool point. 3 at the very least.

another video that is exactly what i need. bought a retroid pocket 3+ last year and just havent gotten into it yet, the first few times i tried using it i just didnt know what to do with it. managed to get some "cores" downloaded, but it just all seems way too clunky. every time i load anything i get messages poping up like "controller not something something, resorting to alternate settings", and things like the start/select button dont work, then i was trying to get mame games go work, started trying to configure settings and accidentally changed an input i didnt mean to but then i could find anything to reset the settings to default, so i just deleted the core entirely and downloaded another one... In the end it just got left to gather dust until the other day i put some android games on it, crypt of the necro dancer, world of goo, the room games, monument valley,.... so i've been enjoying using it for necrodancer, but the whole roms side of it just feels way too messy. even the retroid launcher is awkward the way it loads up and then you have to the little roms/emulators button at the bottom. rather than booting into a nice interface where everything is nicely presented. anyway, will get around to watching this when i get the time.

Yeah those retroarch notifications are pretty useless. You can disable those through the retroarch settings (under notifications). If your controller doesn't work you can set that up yourself through the settings too, go to 'input' and then 'port 1 controls' and then 'set all controls'. You'll go through the setup process, and it should work after that (make sure you 'save core override" when you're done changing anything!). Happy to help if you get stuck, feel free to stop by my discord server and ask any questions you have :)

I don't care about gamecube or PS2 for the most part, those games play better on a TV IMO, but the early 3d stuff is simpler looking and plays great on smaller screens like this, and the RP2s can handle all those without issue.

So can dig launch games in different emulators besides RetroArch? Because Each of the systems I have, has its own emulator and it would be a problem if I couldn't launch a specific system from dig.. and also dig doesn't scan my roms so easily like that, it won't scan no where near all the roms and it will duplicate roms.. and I have all roms organized in a ROMS folder and each system organized within.. is there a way to get it to properly scan?

VERY new to this scene and been having issues as one would expect, but for some reason I get duplicates of games. This most recent time, following your instruction, I had less but still have a lot of dupes even though there are no duplicate ROMs in the folder. Any idea what I might be doing wrong or what might be happening that I can fix? Also, they aren’t multi-disc games that this is happening to so I know it’s not RE2 disc 1 and 2. It’s like Crash Bandicoot and it’s theee twice.

@@TechDweeb Yea, they are a single file (chd if I remember right), but the duplication happens in all systems but it’s not every game within it. I just checked SNES and games like Chuck Rock and Chrono Trigger were duplicated. It feels very random. Also, there’s many dupes in PS in dig, but then when I play it duckstation opens (but not the game) and all the games are not duped. I used a previous “set-up” video that used the Retroid and RetroArch and RA had dupes as well as a hidden file version that obviously did nothing. So I had a list of 600+ games that did nothing, then duplicates as well. Needless to say it’s a bit of a pain to traverse a list that big. This video has left me with the best version and I can deal with dupes a LOT easier than an enormous list of hidden files before I get to the actual playable games on my list, so thanks so much for that and any further advice.

Video is really useful but man, this thing is a pain. I've downloaded every possible core, set the retroarch 64, still have to pick a bunch of different cores to find one that works. Then, the save state, FF, ETC functions that I set up, still don't work. I'm going to have to spend a day messing with this. I completely wish I would have bought something that already had the emulators already installed so I could just load games and go. This is not fun.

Great guide! Definitely will follow this once I have everything necessary to do it. You made everything clear to understand. The only intimidating thing for me is finding the ROMs because I'll be starting from complete scratch. I don't have a previous backlog of games. So finding a safe place to get them will be intimidating for me, and finding complete libraries for each console. And I completely understand why you can't direct people to ROMs, for legal liability. It'd be nice if you had a discord server setup so people can work together in private to get correct safe information out on it. Maybe it's simpler than I'm thinking and I'm psyching myself out. Idk. Lol. Besides that, all I need is that cozy nostalgic background photo you had! Thanks for the thorough guide!

You’re on your own, there’s no _archive_ that’s ORGanized for what you’re looking for. These retro handheld tutorials assume you already know so they have _no intro_ that explains cartridge-based systems. And for CDs, even if you tried to dump your own, it sometimes doesn’t work right and you have to _redump_ them.

I despise Android as a gaming device but your wonderful video makes things a little more tolerable. I prefer Linux though. EmuDeck and Batocera are fantastic as they usually have the aspect ratios and all that set up for you automagically. Scraping for box art seems to take FOREVER with Android. I use the Screen Scraper program on my PC and simply have it scan my SD card that's inserted and it saves the media right there on it. Using the PC is a heck of a lot quicker than scanning for box art using the device itself. I can get about 1,000 games scanned for box art and preview videos done in about 15 minutes.

What's the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit retroarch? Why offer two different versions? Also, how will I know if I need Bios? Will it ask me for one? I also can't seem to as of yet figure out how to manage Windows, unzip files, or locate my SD card and nothing but NES works for some reason. DIG keeps telling me I need to download selected core for SNES even though it shows as downloaded and I have 32 bit selected. This is pretty confusing!

Should I get RP2S for 100$ or are there better handhelds for the price?

​@TechDweeb will the box art scraper on dig work with rom names like, Zelda (usa) (en,fr,etc).gba or should I clean up the names?
@TechDweeb
@TechDweeb 10 ай бұрын
Hard to say. It's an impressive scraper but sometimes it doesn't get it right. It's VERY easy to swap the box art yourself though, just hold your finger on the box art and select 'box art' and then select google images and you'll be taken to google and you can just choose whichever box art you want. Hold your finger on an image, select 'download image', wait for it to download, and then use the A button to go back to dig. It only takes a few seconds and it's painless.

Wow, you are really moving out that face reveal :p By that time you will be more machine than man so I guess it wouldn't really matter. Thanks for the set-up guide! I might try using something similar when I get my Odin2. Sure, set-up videos are not the most amusing, but I actually enjoy seeing how others are setting up their devices and what tools they have expertise with. It gives me a more rounded toolset as well as a another tool/setting to try when I inevitably mess up something on my next project.

Haha yup. This method would work perfect on the Odin 2 as well ;)

I like this video but I'm most likely gonna stick with Retroid Launcher. I just like how it replicates a switch style home screen.

There is a switch theme for Dig. I like the features of dig like being able to browse the games list by screenshots and carousel game box view. But hey, that's the best part of handhelds like this, we can customize the experience the way we like!

@@TechDweeb really? I had no idea it had a switch theme. I feel like I would probably screw up how to set it up though cause I tried Daijisho and couldn't get it to work. 😅
