Retroid Pocket RP6¶

Hardware & Compatibility¶

Install REG Linux¶

Note

This device has a Qualcomm SoC: its stock bootloader does not start REG Linux from the card by itself, and a bootloader change is needed first. The steps will be documented here once they are verified for this device.

Download the image for this device, a reglinux-<target>-<board>-<version>.img.gz file, from the download page. REG Linux is in pre-release: images are not published for every device yet.
Write the image to a microSD card with balenaEtcher or Raspberry Pi Imager, or from a Linux shell: check with lsblk which device is the card, then gunzip -c reglinux-*.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=4M conv=fsync. Writing the image erases the card.
Insert the card and power the device on. On the first boot REG Linux grows its data partition to the size of the card, then reboots once.

REG Linux runs from the card and leaves the device's internal storage alone.

Files and settings¶

The card has two partitions:

Partition	Format	Contents
`REGLINUX`	FAT	boot files and `system-boot.conf`
`SHARE`	ext4, mounted at `/userdata`	games in `/userdata/roms/<system>/`, BIOS files in `/userdata/bios/`, settings in `/userdata/system/system.conf`

The SHARE partition is also reachable over the network through Samba when the service is enabled.
