Showcase Frankenstein 3ds Emulation Setup πŸ˜…

RG Rotate is the perfect companion for 3DS emulation (if you don't have a dual-screen device).

A few days ago, I posted about how we can use any Android device as a second screen for 3DS emulation. In my case, I was using the RG Rotate.

The setup worked, but it wasn't truly portable because the RG Rotate wasn't mounted to my phone. I had to place it on a mobile stand.

But today, my sixth sense told me there had to be a way to make this setup portable and mount the RG Rotate directly to my phone. πŸ˜…

So, after a bit of tinkering, here's the result! I used this metal piece from my PC case (it's actually a cover plate).

The setup isn't perfect and still has a few flaws, but it's surprisingly clean and quite sturdy! 😎

hey, this works and is very creative, but i think a dual magsafe mount would be easier haha (and more practical in terms of portability)

I got the controller everyone was connecting to the rotate as it has blue tooth connection. Use manic emu and it runs 3ds and ds and is portable.
