Hope this helps you out guys! Any other guide or tutorials...let me know in the comments

[@tommy6742]

You want to use the modified version of stock os, Stock OS Mod 4. Also YMMV with Balena Etcher, Rufus is generally more widely recommended for installing OS onto the SD card. Modified stock OS allows you to run ssh script in the RA folder in SD card 1 to do things like install custom themes.

[@SonicLoveEmulation]

I might just give that a bash thanks man

So what about the 64gb image folder? There are a bunch of z files which make a 64gb image and another 64gb image in a zip file. Are they the same? Does this one have all the ROMs like the original SD card?

Hi there… don’t suppose you could make a tutorial vid on getting pico-8 native to work on the ambernic rg35xxplus/h? I know it can be done and it can support splore too but despite following the batocera wiki I can’t seem to get it working. Hope you can help!

i know how to install STOCK OS and re flash but I don't know how to install batocera or other CFW... i would love to know that cheers

[@SonicLoveEmulation]

On it buddy

[@fonzitheman]

Well I believe theres no official version of Batocera for this device as yet, so any that you see is obviously modded to run on it. Not that theres anything wrong with that, just saying if you end up having issues you wont get support from Batocera for it, you would have to go to the creator of the modded Batocera firmware.

[@SonicLoveEmulation]

@@fonzitheman yup its just a fork of Batocera sadly..and koriki still has a long way to go for being as good as the original or of a official Batocera build

[@joycewong8303]

Do I need to update the previous firmware version before proceeding to update the v1.1 or this is not necessary? And omg its 59GB which I assume one folder is the Stock OS and the other are the ROMs as you mentioned there will be 2 folders after extraction. If only someone is able to just upload the Stock OS folder in either one drive, google drive and provide a link download on this. This would be very helpful to others.

[@SonicLoveEmulation]

I know right it's a pain in the backside, however hopefully someone will do this to help. And no you just need to flash the latest version to a SD card and you are good to go

[@paulsilva5886]

Question: do the sd cards need to be in fat32 format (either of them - the one with the os, or the 2nd one with the games)? Or is exfat fine?

[@SonicLoveEmulation]

Fat 32 is fine, the only difference with exfat is you can upload lager roms to it like ps2, wii, game things like that

[@paulsilva5886]

In regards to using the second sd card don't you have to put the blank card t in the slot to configure it before adding games to the said card? Or just pop it in full of games roms?

[@TheY00shi]

how to prepare second sd card? should i just create same directories as in first card and put in games there?

[@SonicLoveEmulation]

If you go in to the folders there should be roms and then a folder structure and then just cope that and then put it on to the 2nd sd card and then add games and roms

[@ryanlewis4751]

Does the second SD card have a bios folder? Cause mine didn't when I popped it in the card reader and idk if I can just create a folder

Im a bit confused so sorry in advance if I sound dumb... new to all this, so lets say I take out the original sd card it came with and completely destroyed it in the lake of fire.

[@SonicLoveEmulation]

@@chunky129production ha ha it's OK, yes I would get a 128gb card and download the firmware of the Anbernic download page and flash it to a new SD card or you can choose a custom firmware and flash it to a 128gb SD card and then just add the bios and roms to the folders.

[@skyr1447]

Do you have to use two SD cards? I've only got 1 atm, I assumed it was enough

[@SonicLoveEmulation]

I would say 2 sd cards and the fist sd card a minimum of 32gb for the os the 16gb dose ot fit on a 16gb card. And when you download it you will get 2 folders one with the os and one with the games. But the games will only be able to go on the 2nd SD card as the os dose not alow te partition to be used or expanded. i.e if you flash the OS to a 128gb card it will lock it at 16gb

[@tron962]

Hello there, very useful video. 👍🏼 Just want to double check with you, before starting the latest firmware download, I have to copy all the files from the original SD card provided to the new SD card? As such the original SD card will be for the latest firmware and the new SD card will be for the files for all the games. Am I right? 🤔

[@SonicLoveEmulation]

There are a few ways but keep the original SD card as if you mess it up or something gose wrong you still have it to use...I would copy the bios and games of the oG sd card and then have 2 new SD cards one 32gb for the firmware and 128gb or higher for games..download the firmware but the 16gb downloaded firmware on the 32fb card and then copy the bios and games to the 2nd new SD card and then you will be food to go man

Stupid question probably but how did the file shrink down to 15 gb when the zipped folder was 59 gb?

[@SonicLoveEmulation]

It is actually split in to 2 folders one with games 64gb folder and then a 16bg folder for the OS. So if you don't have your own roms or bios then you will need to extract the games folder also.

[@JackieWoodruff-o8u]

@SonicLoveEmulation oh, that makes sense actually. How would that change the process in balena etcher?

[@EL90291]

Anyone was able to burn the 16gb on a larger sd card then resize the partition as not to loose the extra space ?

No, I tried to do that with a 128gb card but even with disk Genius I was unable to resize the partition

[@sieg.4444]

Will there be an issue if I flash the OS onto a 128GB card?

[@SonicLoveEmulation]

You will only have 16gb to use and it will lock the rest of the card so you can't use the rest of the gb like wise if you flash the 64bg with included game rom pack you will then lock the rest of the gb. Best flashing the os to 32bg card and then use the 128bg card for games in the 2nd SD card slot

There is 2 files, 16gb folder and 64gb folder if you want to use the 128gb SD card you will have to use 64gb folder as it locks the SD card after you flash it, that's both 16gb folder on a 128gb card you will have the firmware but you will not be able to use the space on the 128gb card, likewise with the 64gb folder you will only have the 64gb firmware and roms but the rest will be locked

You should just be able to re-fkash it, check there sd card right click and go to properties and if it's not used any gb try re-flashing it. If it has used the space, you will have to use disk Genius to delete the partition and make it fat32 again. Are you using a 16bg card for the firmware? If yes you need to use 32gb card. Not enough space on a 16gb card.

And if you flash the firmware to a SD card you will not be able to add games to it as it's blocked all other partitions, you have to use a 2nd SD card for the games.
