Hey there! If you'd like to pin this, I found a fix for the people who have an issue installing the dependencies.

Install Dependencies
Extract files
Right trigger Install_all
Properties (make sure it's on General)
At the bottom Click "Unblock"
Hit Apply
Run Install_all again

It should work and I hope this helps!

Thanks for this guide, I’m a newbie to emulation and got the ROG Ally just to be able to play some classics from growing up. You just got a new subscriber, 2 thumbs way up😊.

[Wilscuts]

Thank you bro been looking for something like this.

[jayrufino]

Thank you so much for the guide. It's easy to understand and it works. I appreciate it.

[Dan_Vice]

Very helpful and easy to understand video. Thanks.

This has sold me on using RetroBat. I was looking at emu deck, launch box as well but I have been using emulators separately. I still probably need to for some games like Valkyrie profile 2 4K fan remaster as it requires PCSX2 QT night build etc but for general emulation this looks so good. It might allow save states and load states easier too as I tried using the M1+ another button for F1 or function keys.

Thanks. Got a snes game to work but having issues with Xbox games. It worked on xemu itself but for some reason xemu won’t work within retrobat. Gonna tinker around more soon. Love this Ally!

[cmilton]

Thank you you video was very informative and helpful… I just have one question… Every time I add a game do I have to do step 6 over? Besides that great video and I look forward to your next one…

Great video im waiting on my 2tb hard drives to come before i put retrobat on my ally plus i have a 1tb sd card so ill have enough space thanks for the video and you have a new subscriber

[alexandergozzi]

Bro, we needed you to know these things😂

[JesusLopez-ysvn]

Great tutorial, thank you. But when trying to asign START and SELECT buttons, Ally doesn't recognize my pushing the 3-line button and the 2-square button.

[valg.]

Thank you for sharing this it worked and happy. I noticed xbox runs slow?

[richardhernandez]

This is working great for my snes games thank you!

Quick question- if I downloaded ps1 roms, how would I get them in this app? I’m using a rog ally as well. Thanks!!!😊

[andyartmaster]

Yo i got my ally and after switching out the ssd for a 2tb one, which was hectic, its been great. I also added a 1tb sd card and the jsaux steam deck dock with the m.2 slot ive been giddy with all the storage i have. So much room for activities 😂😂😂

[RalphMartin-gluj]

Thanks for the video. Super helpful. I did the steps but when i load SNES games on the ally there’s no sound. Any help?

[flaviochapa]

Will ROG Ally work with a SD Card preloaded with retrogames with Garlic OS

[danielsaponara]

Thank you for the useful tips! However, I'm encountering a problem with mapping the controller. It seems that the retrobat is unable to recognize input from certain buttons, specifically the Start, Select, only the right back button, and the two triggers. Interestingly, the analog sticks are being recognized but only as directional (cross) buttons.

[jimyinam]

When I go to set up the buttons it’s not letting me do it properly

[garydeane]

Hi, recently got an Ally and I've been tinkering with retrobat. Quick question I skipped the dependencies step as I presumed that surely it would already be installed, and so far everything seems fine.. Am I missing out on something by not doing this? Great vid 👍

[frankjerome]

I’m having trouble running windwaker, it lags in some areas have you had the same issues?
