I was going to write a whole big story of my Anbernic mess of a story, but i'm going to keep it simple. Your videos are awesome. You're awesome and this video brought my handheld back to life thank you lol.
bro. THANK YOU for this video!! I been trying to watch other videos on how to update and run a 2-sd card system but this one was the best. I actually ended up deleting windows on my pc and had to get it repaired but this vid did me justice!! now I can play my RG35xxH in PEACE!
man youre doing awesome! Everybody whos into this should take some time and appreciate you for using so much time and energy for all this! I will Join your Discord after i took some time to get familiar with my new devices!
Thanks, this was a comprehensive guide no BS, I have the H a month already but now a I know how to properly use it, although I may have to revisit the video 😅
Swear to god everyone says a different thing. Batocera, kalli os, stock, muos or others are either mandatory or garbage, I feel the community is very scattered currently
I’ve tried them all, and I’m always a fan of cfw, but simply for this device, the newest stock os just works so well it’s not worth changing it. I recall hearing that an issue in the cfw community with the Allwinner H700 is they don’t have an open source gpu driver for it. I’m starting to wonder if Anbernic has the driver and that’s why they’re using the H700s… so they control the firmware more. My 2 cents
@@therealchriskirk From what ive been getting from research deviating from stock os now in may of 2024 is only useful if you want specific little things like better certain kinds of emulation or to make portmaster stuff work better. i cant believe anbernic discourse is worse than R36S discourse right now too, it's insane how centralized the internet is but how gatekept all the good info is on these open source consoles
@@StarmenRock I have tried them all and the main problem I come across is you have to spend hours and hours after install to set everything up to work how you want it to work and things still don't work how you want them to work. If you look at the latest Stock OS for H you copy over the roms and your done. Everything works. I have not come across any game on stock where it didn't work.
@@mohrasher thats what im going for too probably, just really wish we could use portmaster on stock os. Its the only missing piece in the whole equation, im just not too upset over that because i also have a psp for those games and also bought an r36s for 26usd on ali which runs portmaster better than the rg35xx. Thanks for your perspective on the subject!
Ok thank you. The 2024 model had me all messed up. Had to use the Firmware download for the plus! Thanks a ton for the information. I was so scared of the stock sd card crapping out at any moment since i had 2 friends that the card died day 1
It was super easy to install: RG35XXH V1.1.0 (20240428 ) Change log: - Optimize psp performance - Move apps to App Center - Add N64 emulator. - Add RA emulator ATARIST, AMIGA, AMIGA32CD, C16, C64, C128, VIC20 - Update gpsp, mgba core to support interstellar good dog vibration - Add vba-next core
Hi, my rg35xx has dual system. I don't wanna use the existing SD 64gb card that came with it. I tried clone it but it's so difficult because my win10 got very defensive at everything I did. Now I decided to just download the large update on anbernic site. I wonder if those zip files would appear afew zip files. Now if it do appears a few then what should I do? Do I write them multiple times into new SD card?
I have an Anbernic RG35XX Plus so now I subbed to your channel and thanks for your amazing JOB!!! i appreciate your help and guide! I am wondering if a new BATOCERA CFW will come out, I'm stuck in STOCK OS because iv been told performance now is very good for psx or PSP games But I don't like the ugly design I want something more aesthetic and Batocera is the best but still on process hopefully they can give us a better CFW Cheers my friend !
The music player works well; you put your file in music folder and put .MP4 files in the videos and it just works. I enjoy those features and you will too! 😊
I'm really struggling and need a lot of help. I am not computer savvy at ALL I'm 23 and feel like I'm 80. When I got my RG35XX H and turned it on it only flashes the logo screen. I emailed Anbernic and they sent me a video that wasn't in English. I did my best to follow instructions on it but ended up formatting the unbranded micro SD card it came with, without backing anything up. I bought the 2 micro SD cards you recommended in this video, and have an adapter but I don't know what I'm doing and don't want to mess up. Do you think you could help me? ;; I can't get any help from Anbernic and I don't understand any of the steps here with my situation. I feel really stupid.
Great tutorial! One question: I flashed the 16 gb iso in a 128 GB sd card because I already have the bios/roms in my PC but now I can't expand the partition to 128 gb. I'm trying the single sd setup. Should I go to 64gb img?
That depends on which option you choose when you buy it. It should state something about having games or no games included wherever you're getting it from.
know im a bit late to the party but can anyone give any input on the portability of the 35xx h vs the pocket flip?? ive been thinking about replacing my miyoo mini v3 with something like the 35xx h, but i already own a pocket flip and from what i can tell the footprint and weight of the pocket flip is very similar to the xx h but with the 5'' screen basically slapped on the front. is the size/weight of the pocket flip really significant over the xx h?
What the heck does “branded” mean for an sd card? These things are two partitions to make it even more complicated. Are the newer updates even good ? Updates don’t always make things better
Branded meaning actual brands that are known for SD cards - Samsung, SanDisk, Kingston etc., not unbranded, or the crap these ship with. Yes, the newer updates are worth it.
I thought filling SD Cards to the brim is not good for the SD cards? Should I have got a 128Gb card? I wouldn't mind TBH, I think they were only like $20 (CAD).
Does the 64gb file provided by anbernic online come with the emulators? Or does the modified stock OS come with emulators? Or should I just use my backed up emulator files after a new flash
Awesome tutorial. I ve got a question. Adding new roms (in this case tiny best set GO) to new micro sd card needs to move from old game card the BIOS FOLDER or its enough to copy just all FOLDERS ?? Asking because the games mostly are working but some doesnt give the opportunity to move(Arkanoid for example) and there is NO GAME with EXAMPLE FOTO how this game looks like . Thanks in advance for help. SUB
my RG35XX H is up to date but will not charge to full capacity. I've done numerous things to try to get it to charge, shutting it off and plugging it in seems to be the best but when the battery symbol comes on it begins to charge for a few seconds and then stops. What could be the issue? Please help! Thanks!
I just got the RG35XX Plus, 1st off it doesnt turn on but it charges. I tried all the reset stuff that ive read on reddit. Also i completely dont understand that whole flashing and downloading os to the sd cards. I literally almost started crying cause im frustrated and dont understand, even after watching all these youtube videos. Why couldnt it just be completely ready when i bought it 😭😭
I saw many people get 128gb from Samsung. Do you think its better to set all two sd in Sandisk brand. Also, are you using a set of sandisk for all different consoles? or the roms SD can be common used?
SanDisk or Samsung are both great, either works. I'm not sure I understand the second question, but the ROM SD card is just one card with all the systems on it.
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds T very much, sorry for confusing on the 2nd question. what I meant was, for the system SD, if I am purchasing another item for instance RG556 in future, can I just pull it form 35XX H and then just plug into the new device then play? or I need to keep purchasing new TF cards while I am buying new machine? I am newbie acturally but acturally I don't know how poor the quality from the micro SD which enclosed with 35XXH. I am learning from youtube now :) Someone tested the Samsung cards and it wrting speed is very good. I think I will purchase one or two more consoles later. This is fun and Thanks for your video.
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds Thanks very much, in your opinion, for instance on Samsung between 128gb EVO plus and 128gb Pro plus, any difference in your game experience? will it lag for specific games according to the card quality? Thanks again.
Great video 👍🏻 Btw, Any idea how to backup the games that is saved under “Favorite” listing ? My saved favorite list of games gets wiped out once i’ve updated the firmware using two memory card method. thanks.
Hi! I'm currently running 2 sd cards build (64gb for OS and 128gb for ROMs) and planning to download the latest firmware for my RG35XX Plus. Do I need to do anything to my 128gb sd card or is it good to go once I've gotten the new firmware on the 64gb?
I dont know how much of a big deal this is, but the latest update only offers the 16GB version and even if I try to download it, there's no IMG file after Ive extracted it. Did I do something wrong?
Can you guys help. I've flashed the dual system images its okay. But when i flashed the newest patch it doesn't work at all the console won't even turn on indicator of bad images in the sd . But when i flashed it back to the stock os its working . So i guess my case is not bad sd card but the way i flashed it wrong. I've used yumi, rufus, & win32disk bootable maker . All seems not working. Help a brother out
After flashing via 64gb, i am not able to see anything on the console. It's just blank. But when I flash 16gb firmware on 64gb sd card I am able to see the options as soon in the video . Please let me know the issue ?
Fantastic guide, thank you! I'm trying to make Neo Geo CD games work on the RG35XX H but for some reason the option to select the system doesn't appear on RA Game. The games are chd format on the neocd folder, the bios are also on a separate neocd folder inside the bios folder but still nothing shows up for NGCD. I noticed that it doesn't seem like there's a Neo Geo CD core available so I wonder if you can't actually play that system on the RG35XX H?
Hey Joey, I'm stuck on flashing the updated stock OS. I've used Rufus and Win32 Imager and they've both made it to about 75% and then fail. What am I doing wrong? I have the RG35XX H
This a great tutorial. just what I needed!, quick question, can I use a 512 gb Samsung evo memory card in slot 2 for all my games or is this card to large for the system? thanks
is this should update from scratch and installation in future update?why not available in OTA update?very suffering if every update must dowbnload 60GB++
Hey everyone, does anyone know why does he say "against my wishes" for backing up the roms that come with the device in 8:06? (I'm a total noob and am just trying to make sure the device is at its best)
Thanks for making this video. My device already had the latest firmware installed so I skipped to cloning the original SD card via Disk Genius. According to Disk Genius the operation was successful but unfortunately the console won't turn on at all when the new cloned SD card is inserted. It still works with the old one. Does anyone have any tips or advice please?
On stock on any of my XX devices I can't get auto load save state to stick. I turn it on in RA settings and then save the config file, but it always turns itself off. Any idea why? It is the same on my 28xx, 35xxH, and Plus. Thanks
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds I have tried both. It always reverts back after saving the config file. I can get hotkeys to change, but never auto load. Right now I am only running stock on my 28XX while waiting for MuOS to release.
When you get a prompt on android devices when you put in a new loaded sd card asking if you want the sd card to be used as a storage device or for a file transfer device, what option is the best?
joeysretrohandhelds.com/guides/starter-guides/how-to-clone-your-sd-card-for-retro-handhelds/ As long as you're cloning from the 64GB to a 64GB, you can use this.
wouldn’t i need to format the branded sd card that came with the device in order to install the new update on it? or will rufus remove those files for me?
Thanks Joey. I cloned my 64gb and 128gb non branded cards to sandisk cards. With both new cards inserted, my rg35xx plus no longer turns on. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Quick Question: Do I NEED an SD Card Reader if I'm not cloning my SD Card? Or do I just need the MicroSD and the USB drive? I would like to avoid buying one if I can
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds My USB I'm referring to has a slot for a MicroSD card. That's what I meant. Do I need anything other than that and two MicroSD cards? Also is that referred to as a SD Card reader? I'm not super tech savvy
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds So I should be good then? Sorry to keep bothering you I just wanna make sure. Thank you for the video as well! It's very informative!
I bought a new card and put on muos and it kinda sucks , glitchy and shit doesn’t work, now I can’t find my stock sd card , this sucks particular. This stuff is always stay with stock.
I definitely don't agree and don't experience glitches with muOS. I would definitely follow my muOS guide for setup as it sounds like something is wrong on your end.
I have several of these handhelds and trying to modify the sd card just bricked one of them I think. I have a powkiddy x55 , is the OS called emuelec? It’s 4.5 and I’m on WiFi on the device and when I try to update it fails and flashes something about a URL and says 0mb to download. If I want to update this for 4.7 (all I want is port master) do I have to flash the smaller card to 4.7? There’s no way to get to update from the device ? I really don’t want to F up anything like the bios’s and everything because it’s configured perfectly from stock. Please help!
Pease help, I have searched for hours with no solution to what seems to be a simple problem, I have a San Disk SDXC 64GB card, formatted to FAT32, I have an Anbernic RG28XX, I copied the files from stock SD card exactly to the new SD card, however no matter what the anbernic will only turn on with the stock sd card, even though the replacement is correct size, correct format and has exact same data, can anyone help?
You can't just copy files over, you have to clone it. I talk about it in this video and it's in the description. joeysretrohandhelds.com/guides/starter-guides/how-to-clone-your-sd-card-for-retro-handhelds/
Thing is, no CFW has been able to compete in performance on these H700 devices to date. The alpha Batocera builds are particularly abysmal by comparison (giving closer to RK3326 preformance). So in the meantime...
I have the RG35XX 2024. It won't get past the start page. Several forums, searches, and Facebook pages have led me to buy new SD cards and watch your video. Can I do anything until they update the firmware page with the 2024 model on?
