Hello, I'm Alex and welcome to RetroPup.

Here you'll find videos covering all things gaming, from Emulation and device setups, to in depth guides for devices like the AYN Thor. Whether you're configuring emulators for the first time or fine-tuning per-app performance, I break it down step by step so you can get the most out of your device.

The RetroPup Patreon is now live!

First of all, thank you for being here and for supporting the channel.

I never in a million years thought I’d end up becoming a YouTuber (or, even worse, an influencer, which makes me gag a little).

I’m slowly working towards the dream of being able to do this full time (once I’ve cleared my debts and can actually replace the income from my day job!), so I’ve set up both Patreon and YouTube memberships.

I’m treating the two exactly the same, so you only need to join one or the other. Unless you REALLY want to support me through both, in which case it’s massively appreciated, but you may be almost as financially irresponsible as I am.

Before getting into what membership will eventually include, there are a couple of things I want to make clear.

Any reviews, guides or tutorials I make will NEVER be paywalled. I’ve always believed that knowledge should be freely available, and I’m not going to start locking useful information behind a subscription.

I’m also not a fan of having loads of different membership tiers. I’d much rather keep things simple.

Right now, there is a single YouTube membership option of £1.99, which is to show support to the channel. Once members-only content has been scheduled for release, this tier will be phased out in favour of a single tier, for the same price on both platforms.

£5 gets you everything. Members-only, early access, feet pics, whatever I think is worth it.

More than anything though, thank you for choosing to support what I’m doing. Whether you’ve been watching since the early days or you’ve only just found the channel, it genuinely means a lot that you’re here.

Absolutely devastated to hear about the passing of Andy Williams. Every Time I Die has been my favourite band for around 20 years and I was lucky enough to meet the big man himself back in 2008 at Manchester Academy 3 after a gig. Whilst the photo I got with him is lost to time, the experience and memories will last for ever.

Rest In Peace Butch

Thanks to YouTube for helping me recover my channel after it was hijacked by a dodgy sponsor link and my channel was terminated due to a scam livestream. I assure you that I have zero interest in crypto so the channel didn’t suddenly take a hard swerve into finance-bro BS.

Normal service will resume shortly. What a week it’s been!

A huge thanks to people who reached out to me to make sure I was ok. I greatly appreciate it 🙏

Until then, you can invest in PUPCOIN:

Hey folks!

Having a little break for this week as I’m off on holiday soon, daily videos takes it out of you!

Once I’m back there will regular videos going out about the Thor, Odin 3, the Steam Machine and (when it arrives) the Retroid Pocket Nova!

Thanks for all your likes and comments (even the occasional bit of negativity from the grass-avoider). It’s been a pretty life-changing 6 months and I’m just getting started.

Love and treats

So this morning my Gmail account was hacked and I was unable to access any emails or my YouTube account.

There will be no PupDates tomorrow.

Also, I am now on X (FKA Twitter)

Don’t forget to join the Discord also for all things emulation and retro gaming.

Now, to catch up on some sleep that I lost this morning due to the stress
