GammaOS is here for the RG405V! Setup Guide!

[@Eleselperez]

Dude, you’re killing it! My RG405V has been stuck in a closet waiting for this guide. Thanks!

[@Faillord1]

Thank you for this guide (and all the other set up tutorials) I just got my RG405V and put Gamma OS on it and I love it. Your guides were very helpful.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Glad I could help!

[@meatfest1974]

...fantastic! You make this way easy, Dude. Appreciate the straight-forward and simple guide, thanks!

[@gianlucalovasco]

I did it on the first try, thank you for this guide dude!

[@778zr]

If you could do a quick video on what gammaOS can do and it's advantages, that would be great. I had no idea you could switch analogue and d-pad, untill you just mentioned it and I've had it for a while

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Hey, it's all right here in the wiki! github.com/TheGammaSqueeze/GammaOS

[@deadfred69]

I think Joey should share with the class what are considered very bad websites. LMAO

[@sergiorenanable]

Awesome guide! Very easy to follow. Worked for my RG505!

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Glad it helped!

[@estebanzap7]

YES!!!! Ive been wating for someone to do a guide video on gamma os install since it dropped almost a month ago. Thanks Joey 👍 🫡🫡🫡

Perfect guide, worked without an issue. Thank you!

Big thumbs up , very clear and good instruction !

[@IQuitWoWForThis]

Worked perfectly, ty!

[@tomfurifrance]

hi , thanks for the tuto , but i cant find any wifi , can you help me

[@IQuitWoWForThis]

Does anyone know how to update Magisk? I get "unknown image format" error. Also i cant add Superuser Apps.

[@renosudibyo8383]

bruh thanks for this detail step by step tutorial.... this is really helpfull for us.....

[@nunits]

It's incredible, I get 10fps more in Nintendo Switch emulator (super mario deluxe) vs stock android version.

[@M0nkeyMetal]

it did not work. gamaos did not installed try again now i have my console saying INFO LOCK FLAG IS: UNLOCK!! and not working not even turning on or off HELP PLEASE!!!!

[@1justbeatit]

I'm having difficulty getting GammaOS to properly work on my 405v. Everytime I flash over the software full or lite, it won't pull up any wifi. With Daijisho it seems that I have to download a majority of its libraries from its github which doesn't connect because no internet. Anyone experience this that was able to fix this wifi problem? Really want to play PS2 games that won't chop up at 10 frames a second but I can't seem to get it to work right.

[@Aceskies]

same here. Got the console this week, flashed it everything looking good, but impossible to get any wifi network thus not able to pull console data from github repo. I had to restore back to stock firmware. Did you manage to fix gammaos somehow?

[@jorgexplosion]

Same :(

[@Aceskies]

@@jorgexplosion @1justbeatit I got the fix. You have to reinstall stock os, then install gamma os again. But before running the FlashPartitions.bat (gamma os lite) open the file with notepad and remove the line "fashboot flash vendor flash/vendor_custom.img>>>"

[@user-qr4qw8qb5u]

Would really be awesome to have linux retro game distro on unisocs, android complicates many things for me and my rp3+ :(

[@joiryde1328]

ANY ADVICE? awesome video, i follow step by step, i beleive it flashes correctly. then when i push power button to reset device, it just boots up as is like nothing happened. i see no gammaos or interface.

[@legendodinson7082]

I get stuck at the connecting part. Always allow usb debugging does not pop up and the bootloader doesn't open.

[@vhsretrogamer1664]

Weird thing is that retroarch flycast vulkan is broken now for some reason. Crashes right away. Other cores work fine with vulkan though. Tried different versions of flycast core, deleted all kinds of cfg files etc nothing works. That's a shame since vulkan flycast was for me the perfect way to play dreamcast with minimal lag and graphical glitches. Open gl flycast has way too much problems and redream has a huge lag

[@googletarded8300]

After bootloading, is there a way to get rid of the "flag is:unlock!!!" prompt?

[@VeerajMuniandy]

Keep you're fingers and away from the handheld and you're pc. It will be gone. Just like we all did

[@Fgcao]

Hi! I did this twice, and in both times the device couldn't connect to any wifi, I had to unbrick the device. Do you know how can I fix this?

[@richsmart321]

I think this is great but for me the steps from 10m20s are the ones I have no idea how to get everything working with roms and bios etc. Looking forward to the links to those

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

I have three different setup videos in the description that should help you with what you need. Or even my latest Retroid Pocket 4 Pro setup guide, Android is Android so all of it works on anything.

[@richsmart321]

Brilliant. Will take a look!!! You sir are a legend! 🎉

Hello, I installed a beta version and everything works fine except the fan. There is a way to solve it

[@MrSattawat]

I just bought the rg405v, i'm about to debloath it and reinstalled the emumators. Should i debloath first or setup the rg405v first?? Thanks!

[@Weakno]

Hi ! I'm totally lost... after multiples reboots, deactivate debuggig and start again the guide... My rg405v show me the fastboot screen message INFO : and i'm blocked here... don't understande why... can you help me ?

[@gringo1207]

hello after installing gamma os my sd card is suddenly write protected and when i open an emulator apk and want to take the sd card as rom path it is not shown to me does anyone have a solution for this problem?

[@Pridetoons]

I'm just going to wait for Anbernic's RG406M, P, and V. 😊

[@artemis9434]

So is all the debloating and tweaking in the Ultimate Setup video necessary if I'll be downloading GammaOS for my RG405V? Cheers!

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Nope! The emulator setup afterwards though would be.

[@pierrick95]

wow very big thanks for that from France ♥

[@JordanJacobson]

Hi Joey, I'm trying to use L2 and R2 with the app Parsec, and it is not recognizing those buttons. Is there anything else I need to do after installing gamma os?

[@JordanJacobson]

I used steam link instead and l2 and r2 work with that.

[@simp4popit17]

Does the fan still work with gammaos?

[@denielLoBianco]

???????

[@TheFraruto]

After doing all the steps correctly, screen turns black and Fan starts turning on and off constantly ¿Any solution?

[@scoundrel1680]

careful with the linked software, bricked my 405V because it contained 405M data.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

That isn't how this works, you must have accidentally chosen the 405m file instead.

[@scoundrel1680]

yep, exactly what i'm referring to; be careful which you click. Luckily there's a debricker thread available online. @@JoeysRetroHandhelds

[@modestyblaise4167]

One thing that’s always a hassle with Android is setting up the correct/optimal Retroarch settings for each core. Is Retroarch with GammaOS pre-setup (scaling/filters/scalers etc) with each system/core? Also, does GammaOS have OTA updates or do we keep having do go through all of this to update? Thanks for the great content..

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Scaling yes, filters and shaders are optional extras and not really optimal or correct settings. No OTA for updating, would need to follow the wiki instructions which are similar. I waited for this full release before doing the video due to that.

[@modestyblaise4167]

@@JoeysRetroHandhelds Thanks, Joey. I wish there was an OnionOS type OS available for Android devices that come pre-setup and optimised within of their lives. Just one thing, I remember watching the live unboxing with you and Stubbs and he mentioned he couldn’t see the over sharpening with his RG405v. I can’t on mine but how was yours?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Stubbs has old man eyes, yeah I could see it pre-Gamma!

[@user-ml4ts7jw1k]

what will happen if I skip the erase user data step?? (I did accidnetally)

[@Pumpkinold]

Hi, I have never updated a firmware. Is it as simple as an operation? Is a 64GB SD card also ok? Does the 405v experience improve overall compared to the original? Lastly, I wanted to ask you, in case of errors, can you always go back to the original one? Thanks!!

[@EfrainMartinez-iz7kx]

Is there a way to delete games on the rg405v

[@zanfear]

Thanks for the great work! My RG405V just arrived earlier today so this video is perfect timing haha. Apparently you can just transfer games over via USB-C? I think the internal storage will be enough for me since I won’t touch PS2 or GameCube.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Yep.

[@gideonamde8021]

It depends... Psp was like 60gb and psx was 75 gb dreamcast was like 20 I believe so you'll need an SD
