The RG35XX-H (and Plus) just became AMAZING! // New Custom Firmware!

The RG35XX-H (and the RG35XX Plus) are great devices that are held back by their stock operating system. BUT NO MORE! Today we're looking at an AMAZING custom operating system for these devices. It's called Koriki, and it's based on Batocera. Today I'm going to show it to you, show you how to install it, and we'll check out the gaming performance in a variety of the higher end systems. Are you excited? You should be!

For those who don't have the SHARE partition showing, you might need to allocate a drive letter to that partition to get it to show: To assign a drive letter in Disk Management, complete the following: Right-click the drive you would like to change. (find the share partition on your SD card in the list) Click Change Drive Letter and Paths. Click Add. Click the letter you want to use. Click OK. Hope this helps!

[@MrMichaelrichards]

do you mean the unallocated partition. ive followed 4 tutorials, 2 diff batocera versions, no shared folder, no boot after flash,why is there no simple instructions anywhere.

[@miamidolphin22]

@@MrMichaelrichards Flash the image to the SD - boot the SD, the SHARE folder will be auto-populated - do a proper shutdown through the menu - pull the SD out and into your mac/pc - drop your stuff - boot the SD in the handheld again - enjoy

[@TechenZz]

tyvm for the update!, I was freaking out aha.

[@richardrandall9809]

@TechDweeb how do you change the themes I go into the theme manager and download a theme but it doesn't change to the new thing what am I doing wrong

Outstanding ! Thank you! Up and running with zero issues....

[@GarydeBrown]

Is Quake working for you? Because its not for me

[@newdrone1277]

Is Hdmi out working in this version of Batocera?

[@TheInternetIsDeadToMe]

I installed MinUI on my RG35XX Plus and I honestly haven’t looked back. It’s perfect for me. It’s so streamlined and minimal and stops me tinkering around with the system setting and has actually got me playing games. I know it’s not for everyone, but I highly recommend it if you like clean, minimal UI’s.

[@Micchi-]

Wait.. you actually play games on these systems? I thought we were supposed to tinker with it until it's perfect then buy another device

[@steelzepplin2012]

Thats what I have been doing the last 2 years, now that I have most of the handhelds from Anbernic, Mini Miyoo, Nintendo, AYN/RP, and Valve, I can actually play the games i spent a thousand hours configuring...(yea man, I wanted to do it!) From OnionOS, to GarlicOS, to MinUI, to JELOS, to Batocera, to Emulation Station, to Android/Daijisho, to Adrenaline, to Linux/SteamOS/Proton/EmuDeck/Chimera, emulation is stronger than ever... btw retroachievements is soooooooooooooooo good!@@Micchi-

[@freezersk]

@@Micchi- oh, I was thinking that's just me… 😀

[@freezersk]

I like the minimalistic design but not the minimalistic functions like missing support for some systems mainly (no MS-DOS and no Arcade if I remember correctly?). But its greate CFW for all GBs, NES, SNES, Genesis… GarlicOS was nice compromise for RG35XX something between MinUI and Koriki, but for now no real support for RG35XX Plus, so I give Koriki a try definitely.

[@FabuBrik]

box art would be nice

[@steelzepplin2012]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors was one of my favorite couch coop games growing up, that and Toejam & Earl. Love those games so very much, and it excites me to see you playing them!

[@MrSegaLives]

This helped a lot. Thanks for this.

[@juliusanthonydelacruz4627]

[@janX9]

They really do.

[@mirkodiciano4647]

great guide video TD

[@davidrhodes9997]

I tried this the other day. It looks great. I love Emulation Station. It needs to be emphasized that this is a relatively early build - there's still some way to go. As much as I liked it, the boot time and a few other omissions stop me from using it yet. Hopefully it wont be too long before it becomes really good.

[@adinwalls]

Ah man and here I was thinking I had the inside scoop on this! I’m going to add this to my devices for sure.

[@simonhakansson8187]

Excellent video, thanks. Pretty cool OS :)

[@JD-fi4nk]

Loving your videos. ❤️ I won't switch from the stock OS until we get HDMI and BT. Looking forward to feature parity on a custom firmware for my RG35XX Plus.

[@MattyHerrod]

Beta out today with both those working

[@Tjensen999]

My favorite thing about this is that it is about the same dimensions as my phone, and since I have my nose in my phone anyway, it will be helpful with the controls. 😊

[@KovanNova]

Very great video showcasing this custom firmware. I think I'm still just gonna wait on Garlic OS 2.0 to get fully baked. I like the ability to multitask and to just turn the system off while I'm in the middle of a game and being able to turn it back on and it'll boot up right where I left off. But I do understand the appeal of Koriki and if Garlic OS wasn't a thing I'd see myself using this for sure.

[@dragon2knight]

I agree completely on Anbernics launcher. It's....ok. Hope this gets put onto more devices in the future, I like it! Great review Mr. Dweeb!

[@john-manuelquiogue5267]

Just picked up the H model with your affiliate link. Thanks for all the work you do!!

[@TechDweeb]

Much appreciated! Hope you love it!

[@tbatrics]

Great news. Mine comes Saturday

[@itsbonjee]

can somebody explain where he got the bios files from? if I want to use the tiny best set can i just use the bios files they provide? also, if i have one 128 gb sd card should I even use 2 different ones? and how would I even go about using two different ones, what would the second one have, just folders with roms?

[@leannesin1545]

Thanks for the great video!! How does it work with bluetooth? Does it require mapping all the keys of the BT controller like stockOS?

[@CTMoney7]

Great video.

[@michaelbenny659]

MiyooCFW just added USB Mass storage mode. This means you wouldn’t unplug the card from the device, you would just plug the device directly into the PC to transfer game backups

[@KWPZ21]

Is it a fresh install or update via WiFi?

[@ToyKeeper]

For almost anything Linux-based, there's a pretty good chance it can also be mounted as a disk over wifi, using sshfs. No need to even plug it in.

[@calculateddeclination5534]

This is definitely the one for me. I've been looking for a replacement for my rg351p and this seems to be the evolution of it.

[@MankyGit]

I’m glad I gave your vids another shot, you’re not doing that unwatchable accent thing. You just gained another subscriber! I’m still waiting for my H, by the way… can’t wait if it’s anything near the old 35XX original.

[@PhenMr]

Awesome video at first i tought the black version but this one is crisp looking 🔥

[@LinksFan]

This is my first video I've seen of yours, and you've just convinced me to get the H over the Plus. Great vid!

[@dangrcat]

Thanks for the details. I grabbed one from Litnxt and its great. One question I cannot figure out.. How do I add save states to Koriki ? I see an option to start a save game, but cannot find an answer to this question.

[@samh5886]

So cfw (this and others) are now able to use the gpu for acceleration already for the 35xx plus series? Are all PSX titles running at 2x (480p) ?

[@thebrightyoungpeople]

How do I set it up to have my roms on the 2nd sd card slot?

[@kici5777]

Would be nice to see a stock firmware(updated) vs latest Koriki version comparison sometimes soon 🙏

[@FunkyHQYT]

I really enjoyed the Russ jumpscare. 😂 Great video!

[@derekswitzer9624]

hey hey! is this kiriki still good a few months later? just got my H plus and definitely want to use bato! thanks again!

[@bullymaguire243]

Would be pretty cool if you did a emulation cloud saves tutorial between the steam deck and a gaming pc

[@JustAMust]

Awesome video! Convinced me to grab one of these and install this firmware! Question, i want to get pico 8 working on here but having trouble getting it set up. I tried looking for guides but the instructions i found were confusing. I dragged the files i purchased in the bios folder but the game crashed and i cant access splore. Any help you can provide??

[@Knezy-fb5vu]

I was waiting to get this until there was custom firmware out. Excited to get it now

[@Sadtiric]

@@TechDweeb You both did great! :P

[@ChrisRider]

I've been holding out on a hand held retro device for a few years. Your video sold me on this one - with the software suggested in this video, I think it's great. The price on this device is also cheap.

[@gboyzgaming4824]

i have problem with bios in batocera cant detect my bios

[@mastaboog749]

wow this looks great, i have the 35xx+ and I wanted dreamcast to run just a little bit better I think with flycast and frame skip will really help. Plus this firmware just looks better I plan to use that noir myself! Now the BIOS can I pull the original card that came with the system? Or I have to get bios for all the emulators I install?

[@TechDweeb]

Yup you can use the bios that came on the stock SD card, but you'll need to find your own bios for Saturn because that's not included on stock.

[@RodaLisoRetrogames]

Congratulations on the video 🤩👍 I have a question, did you test the moonlight in this cfw?

[@TechDweeb]

No moonlight yet.

[@RodaLisoRetrogames]

@@TechDweeb I understand, so I'm going to wait a little longer, I hope it's soon because Koriki really is a great system🤩👍

[@agalvez4]

Have you been able to figure out the button mapping for NDS? I'm having the same issue you did in the video.

[@angrygnome4304]

Its crazy how much better these retrohandhelds are with a proper OS. Would this OS work on my Arc-s or does it only work for the 35xx handhelds?

[@gettic]

hey TechDweeb! watch a lot of youre videos and got myself a rg35xx h, and want to try this. but sins its in beta how easy will it be to update? is it build in or do i have to flash it with a new version and do all of the small twikes all over ?

[@gluttonousmaximus9048]

I think my favorite theme at the moment is Elementarial. Doesn't support my language so I didn't take the internal updater route - instead I download the package and put the fonts I wanted to use in it and then changed the config script to use the fonts. Really working well in my case.

[@thetrashcanman199]

it smells like a smash tournament in here

[@ksarp1281]

Finally a review that doesn’t sugarcoat

[@dougeefrezzz8701]

What bios files are you adding where do you get these files? I found the reddit website to get all roms I need. Don't know where to get these bios files you need seems like a lot

[@eiadithecoder620]

"yeah man, i wanna do it" what a bro

[@fullyproblematic]

Got a crystal white RG35XX H just like this one. Love the "Amblernic" build quality and the form factor, but this is the second Amblernic device that the stock micro SD card died almost immediately. Replace those cards people! Put in a Sandisk 128GB card with Batocera, now this is my new daily driver.

[@Farmeryeti]

I actually just ordered an RG35XX Plus so finding this video was super handy. The default Anbernic front-end alway felt super janky and boring.

[@user-lq6yb2qb3c]

Hi! Great video! What happens when you plug in the HDMI cable? Does the screen mirror on the device, or only show up on the external monitor? Thanks!

[@TechDweeb]

Mirror

[@RetroVGs]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors is one of my favorite snes games! I'd totally get this if I didn't already have the RP2s (but I might try to get one for my dad so we can play retro games together!) Great review!

[@steelzepplin2012]

Same! Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Toejam & Earl were/are my 2 favorite coop couch games growing up!!!

[@KeiTech0]

Great news and great video, 1 question, can i pass the save states and save files from the Stock OS to the Koriki??

[@stayhungry8052]

Any advice on whether to snag this device or the RP2S? Can't decide and then also kinda want to get a Miyoo Mini plus just for giggles? Dunno lol Am noob, this'll be my first device. Mainly thinking PS1 gaming

[@klopm1976]

Thank you ever so much. I am a newby to this and your video guided me through it all. Batocera is a very big improvement and my 11 year old son loves the games I've been able to add to my list

[@walangkwentangvlogsetc7337]

I burst with laughter with that Russ's cameo.😂😂😂

[@rudya.hernandez7238]

Is it an older version of RetroArch than stock? Because some games don't run as good and the stuttering is awful. Tried dolphin blue (atomiswave) yesterday and plays great on stock but not on this. Love the UI especially the jelos-like theme but needs a few fixes still

[@DanVanDam]

i was reading the notes, does it support the output for HDMI?

[@TheAntlu]

Hey @TechDweeb Nice video. it really helps a lot! One Question, can we just copy paste the Bios files on the device to the new batocera sd card ? does it need some more files or less than those in the original sd card (64gb)? im asking because the folder seems a real mess ( the sd card that comes with ). Thanks !

[@mrpeanutguy4706]

i was wondering the same thing, the part where he says a folder for roms and folder for bios, drop the bios in there, he doesnt explain where that bios came from or if we need it from the orignally or what???

[@justinhunt1714]

​@@mrpeanutguy4706ya, that was a crucial step and he says absolutely nothing about it.

[@96Sepu]

Thanks TechDweeb, very useful! 😄 ... and just in case anyone is wondering, Yes it works very well on the RG35XX-SP.

[@flightless]

I would love to be able to play more platforms on my 35xx+, but honestly, MinUI has me hooked on it's ridiculously fast startup and the ability to just press power to shut the device down in the middle of a game, and have it resume instantly on power on.

[@candeladelacancan]

Koriki is the way to go!

[@gabrielleviola607]

Mine arrived, good pocket gaming on the go.

[@peterkefalos7430]

Question if im looking for something that can play just a little bit more than my Miyoo Mini plus would this be a good option? I’ve been hearing pretty much mixed things about PSP and N64 performance and does this os help with performance at all?

[@Matucks]

Zombies Ate my Neighbors is one of my top favorite games, it was just fun, new, and tons of characters. I really wish somebody can revive that whole game ground up

[@allstar878]

I LOVE this game. I bought my 35xx for ZAMN, Earthbound, and Chronotrigger 😅

[@papa4narchia]

Just tried Koriki and it seems that I am unable to use the second SD card slot. Neither formatting it from within Batocera and pointing the storage location to it, nor using a preformatted FAT32 SD card seems to work. Dealbreaker for me, to have both the OS and ROMs on the same SD card as shown in the video.

[@PrinceKenchi]

Would you reccomend this over the RG405M? I know they different price points, but still im kinda torn 😅

[@jacobstone312]

I've had trouble getting the boxart to appear on my device. I have the pngs in the respective systems "images" folder, but it still doesn't show up? the roms and images are in the same directories for some of the games that come stock with Koriki too, not sure what I'm doing wrong... I have also made sure to do "update games list" just incase, still no results. :( Any insight or help would be massively appreciated.

[@travissalberg]

Does the batocera setup work on the xx or just xx plus ?

[@BornIntoThis20]

Do you think the Zassbizle would be comfortable with large hands? Better with the RG353V?

[@mastermaj]

just set mine up thank you so much techdweeb!

[@Jdawg0529]

Does this also work like GarlicOS does where it does a save state then powers down? then powers back up and loads the save state? I'm looking specifically for a custom OS that does that to replace the sleep mode

[@mellomations449]

i did what u did but when i try to power on its just off.

[@y.8901]

Hi, did you managed to resolve NDS emulator controls ? I could not :(

[@ugurcanaydn8543]

Hello, I did the same thing you said in the video. However, after inserting the SD card into the device, my device did not work and the power light did not turn on. What should I do?

[@Monthly_Circus]

I updated the OS as instructed. In this case, will the F keys on the top of the device become unusable?

[@olliepoplol5894]

I know I'm late to this vid but I'm setting up sd cards while I wait for my rg35xx h, and with Koriki can you have the OS only on a card in slot 1 and the roms on a larger card in slot 2? I see you put them on the card with the OS in slot 1 here, wondering if that's for a reason.
