RG35XX Plus Tutorial | How to Flash New Updated Stock OS 20231221 | 2 Card Setup

This is an updated video to my original Stock OS installation Video. This time I made sure to disable windows sounds and tried my best to make it a little easier to see. This is a 2 Card Setup ideal for keeping your games and OS separate. Anbernic keeps releasing updates, so it makes sense to separate them and make it easier on yourself to update.

Hey guys watch the updated version here 👇🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmrMnYqLeLJ_grssi=jj1uo-kIcNfB6uZQ

[@Aznrocky]

Just wanted to thank you for making this informative and well thought out video. I was confused about how to flash and install the new firmware prior to coming across your video. But you made it very straight forward and easy to understand. My RG35XX H and plus should be arriving in the mail soon. I can’t wait

[@HeathenEDC]

Great tutorial. Everything worked smoothly. Liked, commented and subscribed 👍🏻

[@whatsgood123]

Thank you so much for this! I'll be subscribing to keep up with updates for this device! Super great walkthrough, compis!

[@sonajxsonaj]

Followed this guide and successfully flashed my sd card. Once Garlic 2.0 comes out, will wait for your guide. Thanks!

[@MMWorkz]

[@2662superwin2662]

This could not have been easier. You rock!

[@pierre45]

A big thank you, everything is fine now :D

[@manadecide]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I was able to do this on Linux using the Gnome desktop.

[@723lion]

Really appreciate this.

[@DontPaniku]

I couldn't for the life of me get the one sd card method to work. I ended up just putting the OS on a 16gb SD and the roms and bios on a separate 128gb card. Now that I think about it though it's probably better that way. Now I can use the SD card with roms and bios wherever I want.

[@can123xx]

Hey there, as a new owner of that device, im in love with your channel. Can you make a video for people like me have the retro handheld for first time. Like; websites for roms, how can we upload them in device, how can make special folders for organization etc. Thank you so much!

Where do the new save files show up on the second sd card, there is a roms, bios, and save folder, but the RS save folder is not repopulating and I can not find the save files after saving a game as a test. Thank you in advance for your response!!! GREAT VIDEO!!!

PSA: My boxart tutorial will not work for this firmware in case you were wondering. You can use scraped boxart that has not been run through imagemagick. Boxart is a little squished.

Hey, ive tried this. But im trying to only do the 1 card method. After doing the first step, and i put the sd card in the device so it can download the files. I put it back into my computer and it didn't download. Do you have a walk-through for one card set up?

[@paolopartipilo590]

Thanks for the tutorial, can I do it even though I have Mac?

[@excel-6]

Not sure if it was just me but I could not get my ROMs card to work with FAT32 on Windows 11 but exFAT works great. Awesome video thank you!

[@solastro5595]

Maybe the SD card is greater than 32gb because for anything greater than 32gb it better to use exfat.

[@Leunam1695]

thanks for the vid. Why you put Bios folder inside TF2? what is the advantage?

[@StopToBreathe]

good video Javi! I don't know if I missed it in your video but can you map the dpad switch to different buttons like the select or r2 l2 shoulder?

[@en9940]

is it at all possible to run native pico 8 on this device with the stock os? russ's guide from 2021 on old emuelec os does not work any more. thanks

[@angelcorralejo7576]

Hey Javi! First off - awesome videos, tyvm! I had a quick question. In your accessories video I saw you had recommended the Samsung Endurance microSD, but here it looks like you switched to the Pro Plus. Which did you end up liking better, could you tell a difference?

[@JaviPlayRetro]

So both are great. After doing some further research. Samsung Pro Plus had 3x faster read and write speeds, but endurance are built to last forever. I wanted to try the Pro Plus to see if it really makes a difference in actual practice, and it really only does when you're first getting it set up. So both are great. You can't go wrong with Samsung but I think if theyre the same price maybe get Pro Plus just for faster transfer speeds.

[@mrbuncakes]

Worked fine (bar not being able to read the original stock mem stick and having to find bios elsewhere) but now the analog sticks seem to be disabled for general use on the console and all the games. How do I fix that? I don't want to only be able to use the D-pad and the sticks worked fine before..

[@montelmonkey]

So when i got my RG35XX i accidentally formatted the SD card before getting any of the files off it including the games is there a way to get those back or am I going to have to redownload everything ?

[@_marta30_44]

Hi, this latest update has battery display problems. Let me explain better, when you charge the battery normally up to 100% (while charging the display correctly shows you the image of the battery with 100% written on it), as soon as you unplug the console from the charger, even if the console is kept completely off ( not on standby) and you don't use it, even if only 5 minutes pass, as soon as you turn it on and check the percentage from retroarch, it shows you approximately 90%, even if in reality it is correctly 100%. From 90% onwards, if kept off, the console loses the normal percentage of approximately 1% / 2% every 24 hours (if kept off obviously, without using it). This problem is present in the December 8th, December 12th and December 21st updates, but not in the November 8th update. I contacted Anbernic and let them know everything, with all the relevant evidence and they replied that they checked with the technicians and they actually know the problem and that they will soon release a new update, even if they are not sure they will be able to solve the problem (which seems strange to me given that the first update, the one on November 8th with which the console was released, did not have the problem).

[@khanimania]

I did notice but i didnt looked in to like you did. Thanks

[@_marta30_44]

@@khanimania You're welcome 😊 At first I thought I had a faulty battery, but since I went from the November 8th update (I had cloned the SD card that came with the console, on a Sandisk) to the December 21st update and before that I didn't have this problem, so I decided to pay attention to it every time I charged the console. Then I tried the previous versions, those of December 12th and that of December 8th and happened in these too, I was practically sure it was the battery that was the problem. In the end I decided to put the SD card back with the November 8th update and there is no problem there. So I let Anbernic know right away. Among other things, when they told me that they had actually encountered the problem with the technicians and that they had started working on it to release the correction with the new update, I told them if they could also solve the problem of the partition to be placed at the end on the right to be able to expand and if they could also add OTA updates. We'll see what they do 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@reddo5581]

I love how detailed this explanation is. So does that mean we should wait for an update before flashing a new sd card?

[@_marta30_44]

@@reddo5581 Thanks 😁 Nah, you can easily flash the SD with this update of December 21st, because there are several improvements especially compared to the first version. Furthermore, once you carry out this method with 2 SD cards, at the next update you only have to use SD number 1 to update quickly, without having to waste time putting back the ROM and saves, since these are found in SD number 2. I only have made the problem known, because maybe someone else notices these battery problems and thinks, like I did at the beginning, that they have a faulty battery if they don't do the various tests with all the firmware released 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@reddo5581]

@@_marta30_44 ah, can i ask, how come we need 2 sd cards but the regular rg35xx is fine with one? I was planning to purchase instead of flash and when i look for sd cards its usually 2 which kind of makes it pricier, and for some reason theres only 2k+ games on a 128 cause apparently storage issues but i just don’t understand when the original rg35xx was fine with like 10k+ games i believe on 128gb+the system in one sd card

[@chrisfarri8914]

Hi. How do you do all this on an Apple Mac computer please. Thank you

[@mrbloodyred13]

Hi, just want to ask if how to use the unallocated gb or space where the os installed. To add roms at the same ssd.

[@curt6525]

Is the sole reason of using the partition tool to make sure the cards are fat 32 or is there another reason. Also if we download the stock file can we add roms we have sourced to the 1st card make use of any free space? Like what is that deleting partition doing? Thanks

Thanks for the video, is there a way to copy a save file from pokemon crystal from the original SD card and use it in the new rom SD card? I don't want my wife to loose all her advance in pokemon crystal

can I flash a 128gb sd with the no root firmware and use it also as Roms storage.. I wanted a single card boot becuase its a waste that the extra 100GB of storage will discarded if i'll use a 2nd sd card for games

[@themstrom]

Great video! Just a question, is it okay to use the 64gb sdcard that came with the system to put the roms on? I have already flashed the os on a 32gb branded sdcard and it works fine. Thanks

[@Far1988]

Yes, it's okay but not adviced. The cards the consoles are shipped with are basically electronic waste. I wouldn't recommend trusting them.

[@allenjohnroe]

ive gone through this process 10 times in the last 4 days. no matter what i do the system will not even attempt to turn on after inserting the card with the img on it. what am i doing wrong? i also received the file directly from anbernic and tried that several times after formating it to a .img file. I'm glad i got a 128g card with it when i got the rg35xx plus or the system would be unusable til i figured this out. great video, very informative, thank you.

[@xleecumminsx]

Exactly the same thing with me. Followed through the video step by step and nothing, put in the old SD card and boots up fine.

[@thebiglad25]

In a pickle here, downloaded RG35XXPLUS-EN-20240118 firmware update from the anbernic website. So confused about which one to download as there are three different folders, and no guidance about which one that users ought to download. Not just that but I flashed an image to my 32gb Sandisk Extreme Pro MicroSD and now I do not know what is going on. The SD Card is not being recognised by my laptop and when plugged in via the SD Reader a notification sound goes off every few seconds like as if my laptop is trying to read the SD Card but cannot and the SD Card will not show at all on this PC when plugged in via SD Card Reader.

[@tigerex777]

Trust me, this is the gist of the Retro handheld community. Nobody will explain to you which file to download. They just point to you where to download and you will come across like 4 files and nobody really explains which one to download.

[@DannyRWade]

Thanks so much for making this. I just got an anbernic rg35xx and after using for a few days ive started to have an issue where the a and b buttons aren’t registering in the IO test and they are only mapped correctly while in retroarch. Would flashing a new SD card with the new updated OS fix this issue or is that a hardware related issue?

[@JaviPlayRetro]

If this is on the stock sd card, it's possible that could be the cause. I would try to flash a new firmware and see if that helps, but keep your box that it came in just in case it is a hardware issue. Hope this helps!

[@JaviPlayRetro]

Make sure to use brand name sd cards like Sandisk or Samsung

[@JaviPlayRetro]

Stock OS or Stock firmware refers the default operating system or software that the device comes with out of the box. Custom Os Or Custom Firmware refers to community developed custom software that has been created to improve over the stock os experience. Onion OS is a good and mature custom firmware for the handhelds, Miyoo Mini & Miyoo Mini Plus. Basically custom firmware is almost always better than what you get out of the box from the companies. Usually they are really lazy and do not spend enough time polishing the Stock experience and leave alot of user disappointed with the overall software experience. Hopefully, this clears things up for you. Thanks for your question. I know it can be confusing to be new to this hobby.

So I’m pretty stupid with this stuff. Scared I’ll mess it up 😂 as far as adding games that it didn’t come with goes. Do the firmware updates add games at all? I just want to add ds Pokémon games tbh. Haven’t flashed to my own sd cards yet cause I’m still confused with everything.

Dont be scared its alot easier than it seems. Just make sure to follow instructions step by step. Even if you mess up, you can always start over again. These images are blank, so they do not contain games. You can find games online really easy. Just search Nintendo DS archive or something like this.

My update went great, but the box art is tiny now. Don't know why. I used the 16G one.

Boxart governor was changed on this firmware. So you'll need to use original images that have not been run through imagemagik.
