Tech Dweeb over here making videos in 2 minutes for things that take me 20 minutes. Everyone but my wife is impressed

(just kidding, great video my friend)

[briandemodulated]

Please forgive me for being the bearer of bad news but my wife refers to you as "Gesturing George". My condolences.

TD: Did you like the video?
Me: Yup! 😁

I go on vacation and come back to this perfection! Thanks for the quickie tutorial Mr. Dweeb, very well done!

One thing to note about the Rg556 is that it doesn't charge when docked to hdmi output. No matter what dock or dongle you use, it can either charge or do usb/hdmi output, not both at the same time.

Which seriously makes the hdmi output rather limited. You're fighting against the battery life every play session

I have Launchbox for PC and Android, but I'm tempted to switch my RP3+ to Emulation station.

[conza]

Excellent! I have one of these in the mail so I'll come back to this when... Actually I could do this on my RG552, hmmmm

[umbrellacorp.]

First 😎👍💯
Good morning Tech buddy, I hope you have a great day buddy. ☕️😌👍💯

[edismoz]

Excellent video … it’s going to help me set up my RG556 … Thanks for sharing …

[swisskristin]

Perhaps the worst video tutorial on YouTube. “Easy 2 minute guide…… glosses over hours of setup that I have absolutely no clue about then immediately goes to open a file from an app I have no idea how to get it” solid, thanks mate.

"You gonna watch this video although you know how to d..."
"Yep"

[meisner-effect]

u should share your images on google drive, it's noob friendly, most gamers don't comprehendo flashing os images or even setting up retroarch, my friends throw down devices like a unsolved rubix cube, lol, sweet tutorial techdweeb, your friend in time and space

[ItsCoolKen]

Love your review and guides. I recently purchased a RG556 and this helped me alot. I was wondering do you know if it's possible to link ES to the frontend button on the device?

[GameTechTalk]

I'm bad at remembering these things so what better than a nifty tightly TechDweeb packaged video to bookmark and return to when opening a new Android handheld. That's extra brain space I don't have to utilize, I got this video instead from now on, thanks TechDweeb! ❤

[stressless]

duuuudeeee. you read my mind, love your content mr mysterious dweed. i reckon you get on the hard shit

[LordNuttington]

If you’re switching from Daijisho to ES, is it just a matter of getting ES, setting up the folder structure and then moving the files over (obviously needs a bit of tweaking)? I have my rom files on my RP3+ internal storage, is it worth getting an SD card and copying the roms etc. to that in case I want to switch back (I know I should really have them on an SD anyway)? Great video!

[imthatguy]

I heard ES-DE Android can now also launch Android roms and be used as the Default Home Launcher. Deff looking for a guide on how to do this!

[TheScripflipNetwork]

Struggling here with launching any of these. RA just opens nothing when I try any systems. I didn't have any issues with this on deck but suddenly I'm not having success here.

[mydasmurray]

so you have to point each emulator to the bios files individually by launching the emulator into settings right? not like in emudeck just emulation/bios. (can't remember if the front end found the bios before)

[fieryfirevivin]

any chance of a tutorial on how to setup on cloud storage for the saves between the steam deck and android like how steam games have?
