Hello everyone, in this video I will guide you through emulating the Secret Console on Android. Of course I can’t provide any links to games as I believe you will be using your own legally-purchased games for this. I don’t endorse piracy.
This will hopefully be a very painless tutorial which will help you get up and running emulating the console and I have included lots of little tips and tricks for fixing many frequently asked questions.
If you have any issues or questions, leave a comment on this video or join my Discord from the link below!

![Retroid Pocket 5 Emulating The First Ever Video Games
Hello everyone, this video is the first in a series I’ll be creating over the next week looking at games from every single decade from the first ever video games until now!
In today’s video, we are starting at the very beginning and looking at the first ever video games in history! As is to be expected, many of them can not be emulated in the usual way as they were never released for consoles, but thankfully there are lots of great recreations to try!
In tomorrow’s video, we will be diving into 1970s games which means testing out the games for the first ever home consoles from the likes of Atari!
Here are the games mentioned in this video and the links to play them:
