Follow the video, ignore the section about cloning.

[@mohrasher]

Stock OS is the best for RG35XX H. I have even tried R11 of MuOS but stock still wins. Everything just works on stock.

[@StarmenRock]

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

[@therealchriskirk]

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

[@StarmenRock]

@@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

[@mohrasher]

@@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.

[@StarmenRock]

@@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!

[@fans-zr3jt]

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?

[@klopm1976]

Thanks ever so much Joey, I'm a newby to this and your video guided me through it all. I even installed Batocera which is a very big improvement.

[@mattheww.4726]

Thanks for at least showing that music player is an option. I’m gonna have to wait until mine arrives to see what it’s like to use though

[@KawikaLee408]

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?

[@Michael_bonnylad9]

Do you have any tips for configuring buttons? So many games have the wrong set up at default

[@joelgrebinsilvestri]

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 !

[@Lukasz-ei7sv]

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

[@nyetran2440]

By cloning it, does it also carry over the save progression of a game I've played?

[@nolaeast7412]

did everythimg u said when i put in the new sd card the game do not load but when i put the card in my computer everything is there

What could be the issue? Please help! Thanks!

[@lesboalty8878]

Is there a way to backup your "favourites" you've selected from the previous OS?

[@alangomesp]

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?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

You won't be able to expand either, you can only use 16gb or 64gb.

[@ColdCamp]

Could I keep the original roms on the primary SD and just add any additional ones to the secondary?

[@Mrletmehelp]

How to get Wi-FI running on the RG35XX Plus ? Settings are correct, but it never gets a connection. No update so far supports it.

[@tbatrics]

I have a card set with batocera for my h but went back to stock with the April 9th firmware update.

[@BigSpoonyBard]

As much as I prefer the visual layout of something like Batocera, I like to play games when I pick up my handheld, not wait for the boot up.

[@mattgionet9145]

Sorrt if this is a dumb question but does the ANBERNIC RG28XX come with games or do I have to find the ROMs for it

[@54356776]

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.

[@Lowfork]

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?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

I don't believe that core is added yet.

[@Lowfork]

​@@JoeysRetroHandhelds oh that explains it then, hopefully they add it at some point. Thanks Joey!

[@junietron]

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?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Rufus will format it.

[@iamskipper]

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.

Yes, the download from the site does.

[@austingrothe2754]

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

You can if you want, you'll have no roms or bios files, and you'll only be able to use 16GB of the 32GB.

[@davidt0713]

if I have a 128gb card, can i use that for the 64gb thing? or does it HAVE to be 64gb...

[@smdimdavid]

also looking for this answer

[@Comfycrab]

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

[@benwilloughby5664]

is it possible to update individual emulators?

[@stephenrocha655]

So if we have a 35xx (2024) will this work or are we out of luck until anbernic post the firmware?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

The Plus firmware should technically work.

[@mikeyneeley]

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]

Are you opening RetroArch from settings instead of opening a game and making that change?

[@mikeyneeley]

@@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.

@@fabiencazeau1506 Use a different program, I don't have a Mac, but there are programs that let you format as FAT32. Otherwise it'll never work.

@@JoeysRetroHandhelds Thanks bro I'll try this... Another thing I don't get is I flashed the 16gb IMG of the Stock OS on a 64gb micro sd card, installed OK, all roms bios etc... folder created OK, but then my card appears in Disk Utility with partitions using a total only 15gb, leaving 50gb free that seem unusable even for roms and that don't even show in Disk Utility. I can't change the size of any partition. There's still 4gb usuable in the card where the Stock OS is installed but where is all that free space ? I should be able to use it instead of a second micro sd, no ?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

@@fabiencazeau1506 Nope, I talk about it in this video. You cannot extend the partition of the first slot with stock.

[@chocho2188]

I have none of these devices but I watch anyway 😂

[@rolandcolavizza5368]

I can't download 64 GB it's to big , can you we link the firmware only please??

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Those are the only links I have.

@@JoeysRetroHandhelds , dam I tried to email them but their English is sh it and they keep referring me to the 64gig

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

@@rolandcolavizza5368 You can try the modified stock link in the description as an alternative.

[@DontPaniku]

I used the 16gb firmware img on a 16gb card. No need to waste a 64gb card if your just going to put your roms on a bigger card anyway.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Yep that works if you have a 16gb card otherwise they cost more than a 64gb on Amazon nowadays, so doesn't make much sense to buy anymore.

[@DontPaniku]

@@JoeysRetroHandhelds oh I had no idea about the price. 😯

[@MFourtySeven]

I tried all of them and none of them made sense more than the stock os.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

This video is about stock OS.

[@cjloha91]

What site do you all rec for safe roms?

[@trynaskate7894]

I'd suggest Reddit and r/roms and the megathread at the top

[@asddsa-uy9ko]

i've just got mine device...does it worth to do update ? because in that case i have to buy card reader? does it worth that cost?

[@GRINACE]

welp I feel like an idiot, updated the firmware without backing up any of the games. all gone :/

[@sxixlxnx]

If you aren’t an emulation snob, these devices are so much better value than the analogue pocket.
