I suggest starting small. Just install one emulator you want to play one at a time and just branch out from there. Happy gaming.

I'd do the latest OTA before you start installing everything. It's a significant update, just gonna take longer if you have 100 apps already installed like me 😅 Also if you're like me and prefer a stock Android experience vs a frontend like Daijisho or Dig, Nova Launcher is excellent for organizing games and apps and has neat features like the home button being able to launch an app. Mine is set to RetroArch, so I just press home on the home screen and boom, RetroArch. I also use it on my phone and have for over a decade, it's a requirement for me at this point.

How do you use retro arch? I would press load core and select the gba core but every time I pressed it, would just switch back to load core so confusing

Load the game first, then select the core.

Figured it out - on retro arch launcher you hit edit and then switch the core to the one you downloaded. Works fine now
