    What about the 16 GB firmware? I'm assuming it's the same thing without ROMs. If so why not just install the 16 GB onto a 16 GB card and ROMs into the other secondary SD card?

    I never touched that as the buying options for the SP starts with the 64GB. But yes you're right, you could just have the software on 1 card. I've also learned the 64GB card that comes with it is a reliable brand from Toshiba, so that can still be used. But definitely don't keep any of the black ones for expanded storage

    The Kioxia cards are safe to use and keep, they used to be a memory centric spin-off of TOSHIBA but rebranded to a different name in 2019. It's the black unbranded cards that you need to watch out for! Good video, by the way!

    Thanks for the video pal. It was good as always man! As I’ve said times before, I’ve STILL hadn’t picked up an emulation handheld. (Call it gun shy, should put money to something better, what have you) I did not know that the official firmware was customizable. Good to know, I learned something today. and of course custom can be fun to play with too. I like the design here, and good on ya for walking us through the retroarch hot keys.

    Happy birthday!! I got mine yesterday, but retroarch is so difficult for me. I've been watching videos and still only understand basically what I already figured out myself. There's so many menus and options. Plus all the files that dont need to be seen. Like just alot, i hope I can grasp it and customize to my liking soon. Spent the last 2 days trying to get it set up. Also how do you get the gameroom/ RA game folder to read card? Mine are always empty, so I have to use retroarch itself. Just wish it was not so difficult for somethimg that should be plug and play. I love clamshells and would like to get this working to play. Also the touch power button to analog does not work for me. I also mapped the d pad to the analog controls for n64. But it unfortunately does not work for me. Does any of this become second nature.

    Thanks for the video. I am sure you will be able to expend the memory. I use a pi to do it but I think windows has a disk manager in it. Also the new firmware does it come with the games (if you did not get the 128 gig one?

    Is there a reason why the rg35xx h runs out of charge super fast even after doing a full shutdown? I havent used my rg351p in over a year and it still had a 93% charge and took hours for it to die during gameplay. Keeps a charge just fine too. I was looking forward to replacing it with the 35xx h but with that battery issue that's not happening. Is this an issue with the other xx devices? Is it the OS that could be the problem? I have knulli.

    We got that retro handheld SD card PTSD. The Powkiddy V90 came with a green & white card that was garbage, so seeing this one never gave me any indication it was reliable. First time hearing about these leaders in the industry. I've never had an issue with my SanDisk cards though

    Thank you! It sounds like your unit may be defective? You could try doing the software update to see if it fixes anything. You should be able to do a return for a new one if you need to. Also, try watching some RetroArch guides on KZread they can be very helpful. I read about it on Reddit too

    @batpixel You're welcome, thank you for the fast reply. I hope it's not defective. I'll see what I can do. I did update and download the latest firmware. I just can't get the D pad to emulate joystick and I don't see anything showing up under RA folder. I have to go into the Retroarch app itself. It be a bummer to have to send it back. Would I just message the company I bought it from or contact Anbernic themselves? Everything else appears to work. I can play games when I do load them. I just have a learning curve ahead of me lol. But those where the two things I don't have out of the box. Is the RA folder is just empty and the analog option. I'll keep looking around, but also try sending a message to Anbernic maybe before it gets to late.
