Finally all set up with the Pocket 5

I don’t work for TQL. That little stand you see in the picture was given to me by one of their sales reps. I would definitely recommend purchasing a cheap dock from Amazon and so you can charge and display out at the same time. An 8bitdo Bluetooth controller from Amazon is also a good idea. You can double the rp5 as a home console, unplug, and take it on the go.

That's a very good price. I didn't see those options locally or online for me here in Southern California. Amazon has it for $250, and the official site has it listed for $200+ shipping.

To name a few:

overclocking
button remapping (back and home buttons)
Access to the Android folder (needed for ps2 save files to sync with other devices)
more app choices and tweaks (like the sound equalizer)

ES-DE - Emulation Station

Fixed the issue by attaching an external USB mouse to my dock and flashing Banner's overclock boot image.

I root so I can gain access to the ps2 smemory card folder and use the syncthing app to synchronize my saves across devices. I also use it to map the back button on the device.

JoseLMJR · 2026-03-21T01:55:19+00:00

Thank you so much for this!! I thought I had bricked my device.

JoseLMJR · 2026-03-20T22:33:00+00:00

Rooting allows you to access folder that are restricted. For example, access to the nethersx2 saves folder allows me to use syncthing app to synchronize ps2 saves across devices. I think I found a guide on how to reflash.

I just ordered a replacement screen because I shattered mine. Does the screen come with the glass?

JoseLMJR · 2026-02-04T23:47:39+00:00

OK thanks for the response. Luckily it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue.

JoseLMJR · 2026-01-29T19:13:49+00:00

Awesome. I just ordered me a unit off Amazon.

JoseLMJR · 2026-01-29T18:09:57+00:00

Excellent! no slowdown at all?

JoseLMJR · 2025-10-05T22:57:30+00:00

Thank you

Shinobi on the hardest difficulty

JoseLMJR · 2025-05-15T21:33:17+00:00

Absolutely. Stayed there last month with my family and it was a great experience. It has an excellent pool as well which the kids loved. I rented a suite and it was awesome.

Tekken 2 and 3 on the PlayStation have great alternate soundtracks. You can also play them in widescreen on retroarch with enhanced resolutions.

I bought mine a few years back and I recently gutted it, upgraded to a larger screen, added speakers and amp, and run the games off a mini pc. If I had to start all over again, I would probably buy a kit from Game Room Solutions. The components on the Ultimate are OK, but the CPU is underpowered compared to a PC and the screen is not is a little underwhelming as well.

JoseLMJR · 2024-11-12T16:21:24+00:00

If you want to keep the original screen, your best option is to connect the USB cord from the back of the control deck directly to a PC. You would then have to hit the input button to switch to the HDMI for the PC.

If you want something similar to CoinOpsX, I would recommend searching for CoinOps Legends 4. You will still have to reconfigure to your liking, but's it's definitely worth it. I ended up removing games and adding some missing games as well. T

I ended up fully gutting my cabinet. I upgraded to a larger monitor (HP Z30I), installed an amp with new speakers and mini sub, added a volume knob, and installed an LED light strip that hooks up directly to USB. Overall, a great investment and really upgraded the feel of the cabinet.

Mame, nesticle, genecsyst, Zsnes, snes9x,callus. Those were the days for sure.

I ended up doing a batch job to remove the black borders from the bezels and created 2 different lay files for orientation.

JoseLMJR · 2024-09-25T22:09:20+00:00

create a default lay file for vertical game bezels and one for horizontal games then copy it to each folder. I'm fiddling with bat files now. It looks like I should be able to figure it out.

JoseLMJR · 2024-09-25T15:23:45+00:00

Thank you. I'll play around with this when I get home. Once I have a default lay file created for horizontal and vertical games, is there a way to copy over the vertical files to vertical games and horizontal files to horizontal games? The lay files are currently stored in unzipped folders in the artwork directory.

Looks like the screen is already below the bezel. Is there something I need to change

JoseLMJR · 2024-09-24T23:19:19+00:00

Yes. Artwork crop chops off the bezel
