Note: there is now a new NEW update for 12/12/23 that people are having download issues with, and you can only get it *with* roms right now. We recommend waiting for the next update instead (or even better, Garlic, muOS, or Batocera).

Yes, and for this you have to download seven different files, some of which are different and cannot be unpacked, let alone installed. So the current workaround is to just install the firmware without roms?

Helpful! Thanks a lot!

Thanks again!😊

Where can I grab a working image for the RG35xx+ these days? Can't seem to find one.

Hey, recently got my rg35xx plus and was wanting to upgrade the storage on the device (didnt order the one with 2 SD cards). I'm slightly confused as to what files to download and am I right in saying that one of the cards is only for the system files and the other is for roms? Any help would be appreciated.

Any videos to help cover how to setup RA from the stockOS? After updating the firmware, mine seems to run PSP games at fullscreen now (instead of the aspect ratio set previously). My menu options are also changed but strangely it's only for RA PSP (RA GBA works perfectly fine).

Noice. Just in time for the shipment of my 35XX+ :D

got mine for 2 days and been testing it, found out the battery mine says 50% on RA but overnight it's fully drained after shutting it down on the settings. anything happened similar to your device?

Do I need to delete the old version in order to install the be one? Also is there an issue if I have roms and OS in the same micro SD?

Is it me or soemtimes when navigating through menus you get a lag where buttons dont register and having to press buttons again?

Thanks for a better update than anbernic . Love the vids Zu

When I put the extracted file in Etcher it says it is only 1.81 GB (not 61.9) and SD target is at 62.5 GB. What am I doing wrong?

Hello, unfortunately I have seven different files to download the current firmware. These cannot be unpacked because they are not zip or winrar files. It's very strange. How would you install the latest firmware WITH GAMES? Can you maybe make a video about this? Would help a lot!

The only thing that is good about this is that I can now easily use a new and better SD-card with a fresh system and my own Roms/BIOS files. Looking forward to GarlicOS 2.0 with GPU-support.

Does it comes with bios files?

Notice a significant heat on battery while testing the new update, has anyone encountered the same? Glad i did the update on seperate sd card.

nice Sir.

whenever i put the sd card back in, i cant use the d-pad anymore. does anyone know why? i followed this tutorial step by step.

The SD Card is 64GB, but the ROMS partition (the one that only had 1GB of stuff) is only 40GB, there are other partitions and stuff on the SD Card that take up more space. If you are on Linux, you can potentially see all of the files.

Hi, if I want to make a project of a portable console which allows me to trade and battle Pokémons like the multiplayer version of Citra emulator, what do you recommend me to do? I was thinking about putting Batocera into some anbernic but I saw some of your videos and seems like it's not compatible with all (correct me if Im wrong) I mostly enjoy playing pokemon nuzlockes and I saw that its possible to play Runescape also with batocera ! I was thinking if thats possible somehow :DD Thank you so much for your attention

hey there here new to ambernic. so i purchanced a ambernic rg35xx and like an idiot changed the values of the buttons. now only two buttons work and its up down but with l2 and r2. any way i can fix it? i have a mac compuiter.

I have a few questions, i think it only has about 4gb of rom after flashing to sdcard, with a whole 40gb of unallocated space, that be fixed, and Secondly, how do u get your box art to work, i used the skrapper program and put the Imgs folder with the rom in the same folders, thx.... Oh and Lastly, how in the heck do u get the factory 64 download to unzip and flash, I cant figure it out, theres 8 files, one compressed and the others just files?

Reason for 60gb image is so you have free space for your games, images are snapshots of sd cards that also contain volume information eg. partition size

Could someone be so kindly as to share this specific image? Im looking to downgrade as the latest firmware ruined the display of boxart

I got new RX35XX plus today and when i truned it on my screen only shows brand name and nothing happens after that. Tried multiple times to turn off and turn on still stuck at first logo screen :( please advise any toher option then returning it back :(((

i updated to the newest firmware, but for some reason on psp games i can’t switch between dpad and joystick when pressing r2, i went into calibration on the ppsspp settings to see if it would recognize the joystick moving but it doesn’t, anyone know a solution?
