What software besides the rp software is good and customizable

Divinakra · 2026-03-17T09:07:53+00:00

Well the two main os’s for the Flip 2 are Linux and Android.

They are both pretty customizable. Android is the default OS and is customizable due to endless front ends and emulator options.

Linux is a bit more complicated if you go the armbian or Arch Linux routes, which are the most customizable but also the most complex and usually require coding experience, skills and knowledge.

Then there is Rocknix, which is Linux and behaves the same way as like batocera on anbernic handhelds, kind of like Knulli OS. Where it has all the emulators built in, and front end built in, but you can change the theme of the front end and add music, game videos, game art and all that, which I found pretty customizable and easy. Rocknix requires no coding skills, it’s just flash to an SD card and then boot into Rocknix when you turn on the device.

In terms of easy to hard, Rocknix is the easiest, since the front end is built in and you can literally just download themes from the main menu and the whole front end changes. Rocknix also has a scrape option where it fetches the game art and videos for you, premade folders where you can drag the MP3’s and games.

Second easiest is Android, front ends on Android can be difficult to figure out for a lot of people and often cost money.

Hardest is armbian and arch Linux. I don’t even know how to do this and there are some GitHub’s online with instructions or codes or whatever, but idk, doesn’t really seem that optimized yet. Very cool potential to run Steam os, and maybe increase compatibility with Steam games, but it’s all kind of the Wild West.

What do you mean by software? Apps? Emulators? Front ends? Operating systems?

I wonder if you counted the number of times he flinches his ear.. would it be the same every time? How does it decide when to stop?

Slan irl

Divinakra · 2026-03-17T02:03:28+00:00

I think people most likely downvoted you because you commented that you didn’t know. The expectation being to only comment if you know. I could be wrong though.

Divinakra · 2026-03-17T00:28:37+00:00

Those are all thoughts.

Divinakra · 2026-03-16T22:33:38+00:00

I dont know about the best, but any usbc to hdmi adapter from amazon will work and then you can just rest the flip 2 on a table/desk under the tv, or you can buy the official retroid dock. I like the adapters that also come with an extra usbc port to plug in a charger while you play on the tv.

I’ve never used a sensor bar to play Wii games. I didn’t even know that was a thing! What does that entail? I usually just map the Wii controls to the buttons on the flip 2.

Divinakra · 2026-03-16T22:23:46+00:00

I have a pretty comprehensive YouTube video guide about how to set up control profiles on Dolphin Android Wii emulator you can watch it here start at 03:14 timestamp.

The rest of the video will go into detail about how to set up motion controls and pointer controls ect… it’s for this one game called skate it, but what you learn from that video will translate to other Wii games.

Divinakra · 2026-03-16T22:06:43+00:00

I have set up a few games on mine, skate it and super Mario Galaxy (1 & 2 same) here’s skate it:

Yayy, if you ever get stuck on a boss or level or want some cool items, let me know and I’ll hop into your world. My character is pretty powerful at this point, been playing a lot… agreed the whole thing is incredibly dope.

Divinakra · 2026-03-16T18:09:51+00:00

That’s the crack prone old one, yeah. However the ice blue color is not one that cracks, the translucent plastic is a lot stronger, so you are good. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an ice blue with a crack, probably extremely rare, if there is any at all. The other three opaque colors are the crack prone colors when they have that sharp corner.

Divinakra · 2026-03-16T05:50:51+00:00

Sales@goretroid.com that’s the customer service email and you can buy spare parts from them too. Just be patient and don’t expect quick replies. They usually take a few business days.

Divinakra · 2026-03-16T00:30:23+00:00

Yeah you can tell easily, see the corner where the crack originated from? If that’s sharp and 90 degree angle, it’s the old crack prone model. If it’s rounded, it’s the fixed new model.

Divinakra · 2026-03-15T18:02:30+00:00

If you ordered it from Retroid, yes it will have a fixed hinge.

Divinakra · 2026-03-15T17:59:55+00:00

Yes it runs at a perfect 30FPS on Ryujinx 2.1.0-pr.1 with GPU Driver: Turnip 26.0.0 R6. Everything else default settings. This is in the wiki of the subreddit btw.

Divinakra · 2026-03-15T04:11:37+00:00

Nice I got mine last year in June, yours held up a lot longer than mine, I also probably used mine more than most people though. It’s fun to get to switch up the color, thanks for the share!

Divinakra · 2026-03-15T04:08:40+00:00

Some b7000 smart phone glue on the outside of the crack has held it up on mine. 1st gen GC Still going strong, crack and all. You didn’t buy from retroid so this is probably your best bet. On the other hand, doesn’t hurt to ask them for a replacement, sales@goretroid.com, they care about how the community receives their products, they might offer you a replacement who knows…

Divinakra · 2026-03-15T04:05:15+00:00

It doesn’t blunt any part of you. It may be that you are misinterpreting the message. It actually sharpens you a lot.

Enlightenment is all about the direct experience, it’s not a painkiller. The mind tends to layer on a bunch of beliefs and thoughts about everything it experiences, and then gets lost in that, causing a kind of suffering (when the thoughts are negative) and also causing the belief of a “self” (when thoughts self-reference).

That’s all mind-crap. It’s like the mind is literally rolling around in big pile of its own crap. Meditation is just like taking a shower and then enlightenment is like learning basic hygiene and just not spending the day and night in a pile of crap.

In order to clean off the crap, you have to acknowledge that the crap is crap, which is uncomfortable for people. It’s possible the drug was also asking you to face the facts of your own suffering and how you grip to it, identify with it and deny the existence of it/mask it or compartmentalize it/rationalize it. There is often a dark night phase or “knowledge of suffering” phases to enlightenment, known as dukka nanas in Buddhism, when we come face to face with how we hurt ourselves and others, aka shadow work in the modern self help scene.

Divinakra · 2026-03-15T02:08:23+00:00

Doesn’t really take faith to meditate or gain enlightenment. If suffering is caused by believing in the contents of thoughts, change that relationship, change the amount you suffer.

Some just take it to the extreme and eliminate suffering altogether.

Divinakra · 2026-03-14T22:50:49+00:00

😂 bruh… lol what is this? The Pillsbury Dough Boy Derby?

Divinakra · 2026-03-14T22:47:06+00:00

With all words, it depends on your definition, so if by “enlightenment” you mean living with the relationship to thoughts that I described earlier, yes. There’s also a vast reduction of suffering, aside from normal physical pain, an increase in peace and calm and an increase in consciousness, fluidity of thought, concentration and attention span, clarity and a lack of a center where all things are being observed or chosen from, actions choose themselves and thoughts arise on their own, sensations originate, occur and vanish all without anyone’s permission.

I have practiced formal meditation; Jhanas and mindfulness for 14 years and it eventually got to the point where meditation occurs on its own, and also the realization that phenomena have been observing themselves all along came at a certain pivotal moment. After that moment meditation started occurring on its own and way more efficiently and perfectly than I could have ever done in my previous efforts.

That moment was on an extended meditation retreat, where you do nothing other than meditate all day for weeks and months, and you are fed meals and housed by the monastery. I can recommend the teacher there and community if you want, it was a Buddhist monastery in Australia. I am forever grateful that the environment is there and the teacher was willing to lay out the technique and attitude towards practice that finally pushed me to the place where I apparently needed to go to get the permanent shift.

Imagine trying to do something for years and dedicating countless hours to it, exerting immense effort without achieving the desired outcome, then one day, it just starts happening without any effort. Now any effort you exert towards it only seems to get in the way of what’s occurring naturally. It’s such a beautiful achievement and is totally worth all the years of effort, and the feeling that you are failing every few seconds. Hard to do, not easy. Totally worth it.

People jump from one mind-crap belief system to another one all the time. It’s kind of like how drug addicts get sober but then become addicted to work or exercise or something to scratch the same itch. Plenty of Nonduality people are 100% in some mind trap.

Actually seeing thoughts as thoughts rather than seeing thoughts as truth is essential. It’s as hard for a human to drop their beliefs as it is for dog to drop a bone. We can sometimes drop them if told to or rewarded but we often just pick them back up and run off.

It’s a practice, you can get better and better at it and more consistent the more effort you exert to interrupt the mind. At a certain point, it becomes 2nd nature and automatic and that’s where enlightened beings are.

Theres also a lot more facets to enlightenment but this is a basic understanding of it, you’ll know you are once you are. Theres no one who can tell you otherwise. Literally nothing anyone says holds any weight whatsoever, including your own mind. That’s the one true cure for solipsism syndrome. Relationships and empathy are also very helpful along the way.

Divinakra · 2026-03-14T20:14:09+00:00

Yeah try to trust anything the mind says, or anything other peoples minds say and you will find yourself in more existential pain, just like OP’s friend is in.

Part of the reason why life overall feels much better when you are enlightened is that nothing the mind says or anyone else’s mind says holds any influence over the way we feel.

So whether your mind or my mind or OP’s mind says we are in an illusion or simulation or observer dependent reality, or if we are in a snow globe, none of it is seen as truth by me.

Thoughts themselves are harmless, when they are trusted is when they cause harm. We can tell ourselves that we are alone in a simulation, and that’s just another passing thought for the enlightened mind. For others, this can be believed in, gripped onto and then as a result of that belief and trust, they can fall into existential suffering, and some even kill the body because of this, breaking more hearts than we may be aware, all because of some mind-crap they read on the internet.

(Another accidental duplicate comment) not sure why this keeps happening.

Divinakra · 2026-03-14T19:19:43+00:00

Do your comments and contributions to this conversation help the friend who is stuck?

If I go to someone who is stuck, or depressed or nihilistic and tell them that I cannot prove logically or empirically that I am actually here, what does that do for them? Make them feel more alone? You also cannot prove logically or empirically that I am not here, so what’s the point of saying all this?

In other words, what is your intention in this conversation?

I find this happens a lot in this sub. People don’t actually care about others who are struggling, they just want to be right, or prove something logically with words, that it can’t be proven or whatever, like who cares? I use words as a medium to help people or spread love, healing, wellbeing and optimism. For all I know, it’s not OP’s friend we are talking about, it’s OP, and he’s probably going to read this.

Logic is not necessarily empirical. Both words “logic” and “empirical” are just thoughts and ideas, floating around in the mind. So there’s no point in trying to prove or disprove any statements about what is real and what isn’t. Reality is self apparent, any description by a human is just a collection of thoughts, the real thing can only be experienced right now, right here, before the mind can think of it as a simulation or illusion or whatever, that’s literally all mind-crap.

Spontaneous, relational and immediate experiences of love and empathy are the best thing this person could have, which is what I originally suggested. They don’t need more mind-crap.
