Aight wont beat around the bush when it comes down to like technology configuration shit I am as clueless as a medieval peasant would be in the current age.
So I got myself the RG477M after hearing it can run ps2. Fast forward to me downloading 250 gb of ps2 games.
It arrived today. Updated it, connected it to internet etc. Put the sd card it had in and have no clue how to play games on it. As of now it feels like a phone without the calling tbh. Anyone please explain how to play games on it. I've opened the emulator apps with their SD card in but nada.
How do I use it? Or did they give me an empty card?
How can i make it run ps2 games. I'm guessing I have to download an emulator for it but once again I am as cluelesss as an atlantic fish in Brussels.
If someone can find it in their heart to help me out so I can go ps2 again and play childhood games i played with my dad again that would be awesome, either in chat or comments.
I know it's annoying when a perosn begs for help instead of figuring it out on their own but idk fam.
Sorry for my post, I hope anyone can help.
Thanks in advance :)
It's too involved to summarize in a Reddit post, so this guide is your best resource:

Good luck!
Baseline, though is always:
- find the emulator you want to use (PS2: netherSX, aetherSX and then several version of each; NGC: Dolphin)
- open the app and configure
> chose the path to your games directory, i.e. sd card
> set up the controls
As u/iamsumo said, the specifics for each emulator are far more steps than anyone wold want to write, even less read on reddit.
You can follow Joey's retroHandheld or Russ (link above) and read the guides on their webpages or follow them on Youtube.
And don't forget the most important thing - have fun :)
Helped thanks :)
