retro-go VS BlueRetro

I’m trying to port Retro-GO to one of these tiny gaming handhelds and I wanted to compile a list of the parts used, but I’m having trouble identifying the ESP32 module used since it looks like the telltale metal shield on the module was removed. Any clues?

Link to retro-go firmware: https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go

https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go/releases/tag/1.31.1 There are a couple cool 3rd party images. This one is my favorite, and has tons of cool features, including a slow snes core.

No I don’t! It would be a fun toy, but it’s definitely underpowered… since it uses a esp32 chip instead of something like a raspberry pi (like other portable emulators do). I might buy one if I can find it for cheap, and add the Retro-go firmware.

During development of this device they ported (info here) Retro-32 to the device, a multi-emulator software developed originally for Odroid-GO, that support PrBoom.

This. With the firmware from ducalex (https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go) the emulation for GB[C] and NES is excellent.

May have better luck with Retro-Go: https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go/releases

SNES: FX Pak Pro, Internal BlueRetro mod (BT controllers), Voultar's RGB bypass, Recap. N64: Everdrive x7, Tim's RGB mod, Noctua fan, Recap. GC: PicoBoot, LaserBear's internal BlueRetro mod (BT controllers). PS1: xStation, Internal BlueRetro mod (BT controllers), Pico PSU + Noctua fan, Recap. PS2: Ultraslim mod with SD card reader in top Fat PS3: This is actually a sleeper PC with a GTX 1060 and a Ryzen 5 2600 for emulation purposes.

I do plan to do an internal BlueRetro mod at some point (so I'll be able to connect controllers without dongles) but I'm waiting til this issue is hopefully fixed.

best i could figure out is that he did this. https://github.com/darthcloud/BlueRetro/wiki/BlueRetro-DIY-Build-Instructions maybe there is something better?

https://github.com/darthcloud/BlueRetro This is the GitHub page with tons of different links to different sellers. I would try my chances there.

It’s already available and fairly easy to build yourself: https://github.com/darthcloud/BlueRetro

This issue is documented on the BlueRetro github, where it is the 5th-oldest reported bug, as well as by far the most commented. This issue has been known for at least a year and a half. Will's Console Modifications used to have this bug listed on the UnoRetro page, but they removed it - even though the bug still hasn't been fixed - which means you have to use the Internet Wayback Machine to verify on an old version of their website that they knew about it.

The official BlueRetro docs have great instruction on how to install the code and pair controllers, but for internal installs I'd recommend nostalgic-influences wiring diagram.png) if you're like me and have trouble reading electrical schematics.
