Anbernic/Linux Handhelds - How to Add Games/Roms to Micro SD and Scrape for Artwork

Ойындар

This video will show you how to add your games and roms to a micro sd card for use in the second micro SD card slot on your Anbernic Handhelds, this has been tested on Anbernic RG353P but it should work on other Anbernic handhelds.
It may even work on custom firmware linux OS as well and could possibly work on Powkiddy or other linux handheld devices that potentially have this function as well.

  • @HexenStar
    @HexenStar Жыл бұрын

    Thank you very much! It all worked just fine, even though i had to reboot the console several times with and without the SD card for the device to finally register the roms. This process, while apparently is easy once you know it, but it isn't something you can just guess, and it is not mentioned in the quickstart guide you get with the console. Also, I'd like to add that it's a complete waste of money to pay for those pre-loaded games, cause from my (and that of my friends) experience with the pre-loaded handhelds - you get a hundred copies of Mario, Sonic or some other toddler stuff or clone of the above and a few thousand games that are an alien text-based nonsense, clearly made for an extremely narrow audience with questionable gameplay and every single thing is written in kanji to boot. Of the games that you'd like - there is about 10% chance to have about 10% of them on the extra game card, should you for some reason decide to spend money on it. Do the estimated math, it just isn't worth it. It is extremely likely that even if you buy the card - you'll still end up adding your own selection of games.

    Dreamcast and Playstation are giving me problems and I'm presuming this is because they are cd versions rather than the cartdridge based roms that all transfer and run fine. The Dreamcast and Playstation roms all appear as doubles with slightly different symbols, when a Dreamcast rom is unzipped it gives me 4 files, do I have to transfer all 4 files to the anbernic?!

    Жыл бұрын

    ​@@dafugpugp6847 Yes, I figured it. The problem is that the games in the card are in the wrong directories. When you power on the device for the first time, it creates the directories it needs for each system in the SD card to access the games, but these directories are different than the ones that are already copied in the SD card, so the system will never 'see' them. You need to take the Games SD card out, plug it into a computer and move the games from the old directories into the new ones. Some differ in names (for example SNES/SFC for super nintendo) but refer to the same system. After a bit of trial and error you should be able to move the games to the correct directories that the system recognizes. Hope that helps!

    For PS1 files you need to add the .bin and .cue files. I would recommend adding a sub folder inside the PS1 folder to make it tidy. Example, Crash Bandicoot, create a Crash Bandicoot folder in the PS1 folder. Open the Crash Bandicoot folder, copy or drag and drop the .bin and .cue files. Then put SD card back in the device. Job done!

    Purchase a decent one that isn't cheap or bad. You can get a solid one for $30 on Amazon or at Walmart. I never had an SD card that corrupted. Didn't even think it was possible.

    Hi, i need some help, i have an 512 gb menory card, i burned an image from the original 64 gb with the games with rufus, i formated it first. When i put the new memory card on the console and reeboot a lot of games wont play, they wont start. I dont know if its the sd card the problem, i need help cause i want to add more games and the 64 gb is full and it wont even let me modify anything
