RetroPlay Handy Tips
Charge the Right Way
Keep your RetroPlay battery healthy by charging slowly — plug it into a laptop, PC, or even your console’s USB port. Avoid phone chargers, turbo chargers, or anything not designed for it, as these can wear out the battery faster. Always stick with the USB cable included in your box.
Quick Break or Long Pause?
Just pausing for a snack? Tap the Power button once to enter standby, then press again to jump right back into your game.
Stepping away for hours? Shut down properly: go to Main Menu > Exit > Power Off.
Tweak the Brightness
Screen too dim or too bright? Use R3 + D-Pad Up/Down to adjust on the fly.
Make It Yours
Spice up your RetroPlay with different themes! Head to UI Settings > Theme, browse your options, and hit B to select.
