I've been working on a companion application for the RG35XX that uses the ADB connection in GarlicOS to intreract with the device without needing to remove the SD cards.

This is awesome and I am shocked I am not hearing more folks talk about it. You've done some great work and I am excited to see how far you can take this further.

[@prosthetichead2k]

Thanks!!

[@RefreshThisPage]

Amazing work! This is why I love this console. There are people with skills and passion to make from this device a legend

[@IlManaka]

Thank you for the effort put into GarlicPress. This will be quite handy. 👍

[@MurkTheCreator]

You are a wizard thank you for all your hard work!

[@Gabi_90.]

Thank you so much for this work! you're awesome.

[@colin458]

You are a scholar and a gentleman

[@x-rOtT]

Thank you for your work 👍🏻

It's a shame but my RG35XX is not being detected by Garlic Press. The last line on the log is "Device disconected". I tried 3 different cables but no avail. It seems ADB might really not gonna work on my unit.

[@parowkowyskrytozerca77]

Good job. I wish you further success, because now working with the RG35xx has become even better and easier. I'm wondering how it is with Amiga games and what shortcuts the rom should have for the game to work well on GarlicOS. Most games run badly for me with a lot of slowdown and it's impossible to play.

[@prosthetichead2k]

Thanks! Yeah Amiga games can be hard Make sure you have all the BIOS files for Amiga and also putting the RG35XX in overclock mode helps!

[@AlanRiosoff]

This is amazing, muito obrigado pelo projeto!

[@user-mu3fz2kn1j]

Very good JOB!!! Is there a way to shut off the RG35XX screen during the process?

[@MobileDecay]

Is there any way to scrap art for the rg5xx h?

[@efika1267]

Quick question. Is there a way to add a layer that pulls the boxart from the Img file in roms folder? I already have all of the boxart saved to my SD card but I'd like to use garlic press to resise them to match my theme

[@everettrantanen1732]

This would be great software if I could get it to work. Keep getting error dialog box "Index is outside the bounds of array" error. when trying to add artwork. If I select continue. The app stops working...any help? Using latest version of GarlicPress and Latest Garlic OS 149.

[@deadfred69]

I followed the guide exact on windows 11 but it will not connect just stays in the no device state. Any ideas? I even deleted the adb file and re tried it same results. I know its connecting to the pc because it gets power and starts charging the battery?

[@prosthetichead2k]

This is so odd could you try another cable? If a new cable doesn't work Would you be able to submit a issue to the GitHub? I would love to get to he bottom of this issue as a few people have said they have this issue and I can't replicate it.

[@ivanvalentona2576]

The same thing happened to me. Using Win 11, the device is charging but undetected by adb.

[@Micchi-]

Try changing the cable. Some cables only charges the device & can't transfer dsta

[@poltergijstt]

For some reason I am unable to actually place files on the device using Garlic Press, when dragging a file from my explorer into the application there's this black 'stop' sign, so something is preventing me from doing this and I don't know what!

[@tyzerro]

cannot figure out how to get text aligned in ver. 0.2312.111 It gives me an "unhandled exception" saying it could not find a part of the path "\GarlicPress\assets\skins\settings.json" what am i doing wrong?

[@carlosabregosuarez]

Hi, I would like to know how to erase some systems from my home screen because I´m not interested in them...

[@redberry33]

Hi! For some reason, despite habing created the enableADB file, GarlicPress won't detect my device. Any way to fix this? Thanks!

[@prosthetichead2k]

Hi, I released a new version last night that might fix this issue. Some people were reporting the device never being detected and so I added a way of changing the way the device is detected in settings. github.com/prosthetichead/GarlicPress/issues/106

[@redberry33]

@@prosthetichead2k Hey, thanks! Works now!

[@OfficialSilentPLAYS]

I'm stuck! I have the most recent version of GarlicPress installed, and it's scraping just fine. It searches, finds, downloads, and generates fine. It says it's uploaded to my device, but there's no images. I can move the text tho, so that's fun. Between typing that section and this section, I noticed something. I have to select "Rom System Folders on Root of SD Card 2" to see my roms at all. If I get my roms list up, deselect that setting, THEN update the art, it works. But I have to keep selecting/deselecting that checkbox every time.

[@prosthetichead2k]

Oh I'm sorry you're having this issue. Sounds like a bug in the way its writing the imgs directory when roms are on the root of SD Card 2. Would you be able to submit this as an issue to the github page? github.com/prosthetichead/GarlicPress/issues If you can't that's fine let me know here in a comment reply and I will submit it for you tomorrow night. Having all the issues there in one spot helps with me keeping track of the bugs. I'm pretty sure I can get this bug fixed soon though!

[@packratshq]

​@@prosthetichead2k I'm having the same issue (SD Card 2, Root). No rush, I'm just so happy you made such an amazing app for this device. It was the missing essential companion it needed! Thank you for your efforts; they are incredibly valued.

[@bradbrad6750]

where can i download this theme?

[@prosthetichead2k]

That theme was one I found on reddit www.reddit.com/r/RG35XX/comments/1566yzu/finally_got_it_themed_the_way_i_like_mashup_of/

[@frhea1]

This is a wonderful app, unfortunately, I cannot seem to find the .exe file in the GarlicPress zip file.

[@prosthetichead2k]

Are you downloading the zip from the releases page? github.com/prosthetichead/GarlicPress/releases

[@ItsOnYea]

Unfortunately can't get the .exe to open for me regardless. Maybe need to mess with RegEdit...

[@prosthetichead2k]

Did you get it working? Is windows defender or some kind of security blocking you opening it as its an unknown application maybe?

[@paulboardman01]

great program, shame you could do a left click and move the box art on screen,

[@prosthetichead2k]

Check out the new version! A very talented developer is adding some great additions to garlicpress including a media editor!

[@jaycee1088]

Does it work on Mac?

[@prosthetichead2k]

Sorry no. I don't have any plans to make a Mac version.

[@KageChen]

When I try to do the text alignment to the right, there's an error message said "could not find a part of the path C:\Users\ccyka\Desktop\GarlicPress.0.0.2311.081\assets\skin\settings.json" May I ask how to solve it? Thanks :)
