Good news for handheld gaming fans: the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro now works seamlessly with the Retroid Dual Screen Add-on. An over-the-air update is rolling out that fixes the compatibility issue and adds several useful features.
The firmware arrives as version 1.0.0.167 and lands much sooner than expected. Retroid had previously told buyers it would process refunds while working on a solution that might take months, but the company resolved the problem quickly with help from MediaTek field application engineers.
Beyond restoring support for the Dual Screen Add-on, the update enhances day-to-day usability:
– A new AOSP launcher enables true dual-screen multitasking, making better use of the second display.
– Volume control has been added to the Quick Settings menu, a smart tweak since the Dual Screen Add-on can obstruct physical volume buttons on some handhelds, including the Retroid Pocket 5.
– A new Handheld Settings menu lets users change video output mode for more flexible display options.
The Retroid Dual Screen Add-on, priced at $69, adds a second screen to compatible handhelds, including models from other manufacturers, expanding what you can do with emulation, productivity, and touch-driven games.
If you own a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, watch for the OTA prompt and update to version 1.0.0.167 to restore full Dual Screen functionality and unlock the new features. This swift fix not only resolves the initial hiccup but also makes the Pocket 4 Pro a more capable dual-display handheld for gaming and multitasking.
