However, all Retrobit consoles support adding games manually, and Tech Trove Innovations provides tutorials and customer support to help you set up your device.

1. To add games, take the micro SD card on the Retrobit Gaming Console™, and insert it into your computer, you will need a microSD card reader.  

2. Do not format the card. A pop-up will appear that says, "There's a problem with this device, scan and fix it. " Ignore it, as if you reformat the card, you will need to replace the system.

3. You will need to copy your ROM files over to the SD card and put them into the appropriate folder that matches the system that the game belongs to.  You can download ROM files online.

4. Once you have downloaded the ROMs you choose to add to your device, copy your ROM files to the SD card into the appropriate folder that matches the system to which the game belongs.  In your case, you will select the ROMS folder GBA.

5. Safely eject the SD card and add it to your device.  Remember to reset the device.

6. Afterwards, load the game.

If you ever played a Gameboy Advance emulator, then chances are you will need ROMs. The ROMs will act as the cartridges, which are basically the games.

A Gameboy Advance ROM will have a .GBA file format. This means that only a GBA emulator can run this type of file, or there are some NDS emulators that can run it as well.

It is like an MP3 player can’t play an MP4 file, or at least only the audio will play, but you can’t see the video.

That is the same for Gameboy ROMs, but there are those that come in a .IPS or .UPS file format. However, the Retrobit Gaming Console™.

What you need to do is to know how to apply an IPS or UPS patch to these ROMs. What happens is that you need to do a step-by-step procedure to transform a .IPS or .UPS into a .GBA file.

What you need to do if you want to apply an IPS or UPS patch

The outcome that we want is to change the .IPS or .UPS into a .GBA. You can’t play the .IPS or .UPS files; hence patching the file is needed.

The process of patching means that we change or update the original content of the .GBA file to have the contents of the .IPS or .UPS files will be keeping the .GBA format.

In order for that to happen, we need a couple of things.

Things Needed for Patching a ROM hack

• Patch file
• ROM base
• Patcher app

The first thing that you need would be the .IPS or .UPS patch file. You’ll need those because they are the games you want to play. With Pokemon games, the ROM hacks will change the game’s content.

The next thing you need is the base ROM or the ROM on which the hack was based. For example, a ROM hack Pokemon Gaia uses FireRed as its base game.

The third thing you’ll need is the patcher which is the app or program that you will use to apply an IPS or UPS patch. The gist of this is that we will patch an actual Pokemon ROM into a ROM hack or whatever the contents are inside the .IPS or .UPS file.

Finally, always make sure you have a separate copy of the original Pokemon game ROM because once the patch is finished, all the contents of that ROM will be changed and gone forever.

Why the patch would fail

• There are several reasons, and the first one is that the .IPS or .UPS file from the start is unreliable. In short, it isn’t a good copy or it just wasn’t programmed correctly.
• The second reason is that you’re not using the right base game. You’re probably using Pokemon FireRed as the base game but it actually needs Emerald.
• Your copy of the base game isn’t reliable. There are ROMs out there and not just Pokemon that may have been corrupted or isn’t suited for patching the .IPS or .UPS format.
• The patcher is not good and unreliable. Don’t worry, we’ll be including reliable patchers in the step by step procedures.

How to Patch a .IPS file using Lunar IPS (Works for Windows PC’s)

In this procedure, we will guide you on how to apply a .IPS patch. The patcher we will use is Lunar IPS. This patcher will only work on .IPS formats. We will also use the Rocket Edition Final v1 as our .IPS file which we will patch with FireRed as the base game.

Step 1
Download the Lunar IPS patcher.

Step 2
Launch the Lunar IPS and click on Apply IPS Patch.

Step 3
Choose the .IPS file you want to patch which in this case is Rocket Edition Final v1.

Step 4
You will then click on the base game which is FireRed in this case.

Step 5
The patch will automatically happen which is usually a couple of seconds.

Step 6
This one is optional but you can rename the newly patched FireRed ROM to Rocket Edition Final v1 or whatever you want.

Step 7
Launch the GBA emulator, and if the ROM loads properly and it isn’t FireRed but Rocket Edition that comes out, then you did everything correctly.
