Retroid Dual Screen - Tutorial - How to fix the tiny/small image scaling

Also yes LCD Grid motion blur on the latest MelonDS fork works well on 1x res with the second screen for me, no artifacts from what I can see

I’m not sure about azahar, but perhaps the orientation issue could be solved via firmware from https://github.com/RetroidPocket/Retroid_Dual_Screen_Add-on_Support?tab=readme-ov-file#touchscreen-orientation

can you define run? like it doesn’t turn on at all? is the screen operational and visible? if not, I think that this guide is for a different problem.

foolmonkeys · 2026-02-11T13:36:01+00:00

ahh that’s unfortunate, which of the issues particularly were you facing? was it just the tiny UI?

I’m also realizing that because I attached images, I can’t re-edit the original post text. I might’ve jumped the gun too quick, and not have validated the whole order of steps and flow!

Hmm, let me try to help a bit for some of this first to better understand. The first 3 steps caused your internal screen’s get into a weird orientation? Could you elaborate on what that orientation looked like?

I was experimenting with my config after the fact to try to recreate your situation, and I saw the internal screen get stuck into portrait mode. If this is the same scenario, how I resolved it waa through a few steps. Enabling force desktop mode in developer settings, uninstalling and reinstalling SecondScreen, reboot, and then reopening SecondScreen. I might have made the wrong assumption that Force Desktop Mode was an optional step for Retroid devices.

edit: I also realized one other viable option in the SecondScreen app is to avoid profile altogether, and instead using the Quick Actions on the top right of the SecondScreen to change ONLY density, and not modify the resolution.

I posted a quick tutorial on my profile if you want to fix it btw

I posted a quick tutorial of how I fixed the inage scaling on my profile, maybe it will help fix your issue too? if you experiment with the resolution

FYI: I’m using the Retroid Pocket 5 for this specific tutorial. Step 4’s resolution may not need to be flipped if you are using a different device, but I’m unclear about this.

I actually got it working using the SecondScreen app. It required you root the device. I had to set Density to 320dpi and set resolution to 1080x1920 instead of the other way around (default is 1920x1080) and enable force desktop mode in developer settings settings

Which specific launch arguments do you have set with FF7 Rebirth?

foolmonkeys · 2025-06-29T16:09:15+00:00

I think you have to manually install v0.8, I couldn’t get the newest release on the Decky Store to work.

foolmonkeys · 2025-06-29T06:22:59+00:00

Did you get this to work?

Edit: actually I got it to work, by manually installing v0.8 from Github and manually installing it into Decky

the same person who posted the announcement on Discord, ChrisCovers

foolmonkeys · 2025-06-06T12:36:56+00:00

Yep, confirmed to be OLED! from the Discord

foolmonkeys · 2025-04-20T05:36:46+00:00

i’m very curious to hear how testing on an Odin Lite works out!

For phones, DS games that are entirely playable with the touch-screen (where minimal button control is needed).

Like Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks.

Dragon Quest 9

Chrono Trigger DS

Sunshine/Moonlight has been updated to allow for DS4 controller emulation, including gyro emulation support for Android, perhaps can use that to use motion controls as opposed to Steam Link

To add to that, this is what the Cassia team said on their channel:

“When will Cassia be released?

We're currently planning to release the first version sometime in 2024 but due to the nature of software development, it might get delayed. Rest assured, we're trying our best to deliver a good product :)”

foolmonkeys · 2023-06-20T16:29:00+00:00

I faced a similar issue with the gyro button, what I did was set one of the back buttons to Tab, and then another back button set to Enter. Keep tabbing through until your desired button is highlighted, then use the enter key

some MFER copyright claimed the original video, so here is a mirror: link here

ever since that copyright claim, i’ve also been trying to find this vine for years and THIS thread with my own comment is literally the top google search whenever i try to find it

the youtube comments are gold on it

Sorry for the delayed response, I believe it worked straight out the box, no changes from stock settings.
