Great video, I’ve been meaning to make my own guide on it, and you’ve summarized things nicely.
Thanks man. Hope it helped a few ppl out.
@retrogamecorps Russ you need to do a guide on it. Garlic OS basically won't load any Sega CD games
@@TeamPandory how do i get back my cfw files if i acedantily delete them by formating please help me i cant use my rg35xx 😭😭😭
@@Jesse-12 Go to the Anbernic discord channel. They should be able to help you with firmware issues.
@@TeamPandory i cant find anbernic discord
Nice video! I've got Batocera running on my RG552 and it's amazing! Lots of systems run very well, including harder to emulate systems. The extra features are a nice treat such as touch-screen support on Linux, the PDF, MP4, MP3, and comic book reader, and live TV and radio through Kodi.
Amazing, never would have thought batocera was possible on this
Yeah. It's a bit nuts, batocera seems to be appearing here there and everywhere
That exfat tip is gold! So much easier!
You're welcome 🤗
Nice video as always! We need this on the x55 ❤
yeah, I agree x55 needs some lovin
Thanks. ... Um. Powkiddy X55? They were pretty pushy in the comments section with me recently .. unsure if they actually want to be known as a good brand or not? Maybe they're going for the Jack Sparrow approach.
I enjoy being able to get a bit more out of my rg35xx! Great vid! Wonder why Anbernic didn't tap into that GPU🧐🤔 also... Wifi works with a dongle 👍👍
Love the color, pikachu!
Colour is okay ... But it's a disaster to use 😂. More on the other video where we paint it 😂
@@TeamPandory I painted mine matte black, same paint used for cars on exhaust, after that, a layer of clear coat and some nivea on it and I polished by hand with a towel. Looks great, i used a special car tape to cover the display, on the front and back, because I didn't want to remove the display. But now, i want to buy another one to try your color, love it! You make cool videos.
@@soaremicheledavid6020 thanks 👍. Yeah we totally ruined this one by using the wrong paint. Good fun 😂. I like the old school yellow on the original Gameboy, works well I think on these handhelds.
Thanks pollo. I installed it yesterday, anything 3D on dreamcast is horrible, but I hadn't remembered that atomix wave exists. I recommend lowering the resolution to 0.5, so marvel vs capcom 2 is "playable". Better to keep an SD with garlic, batocera lite is much slower to boot.
I'd also recommend using the NAOMI version of MvC2 and CvS2... A better version, and oddly was lighter to run than the DC version.
Thank you! After a little more testing, better than lowering the resolution, switching to vulkan, opengl runs the games worse.
@@TeamPandorywhere Can i find bios for Naomi please ? I'm on koriki , maybe its already included ? Thank u
Great info!
Where did you get that Yellow?! It’s awesome! I have every color (and doubles because I’m afraid to ruin them or drop them lol, plus they are so cheap). Would love to have a yellow!!! Even silver and black lol. I’m afraid to paint them myself. These handhelds are amazing and such good quality for the price!!! More than worth it. Mainly for people who love PS1 and down console/system wise. Which is right up my alley. I’ve been playing the Tomb Raider series again among other series for Ps1 and it plays almost every Ps1 title, if not every, flawlessly. I can’t wait until we get the release for the supposedly upcoming Wi-Fi edition of this 35xx. Best retro purchase I ever made. I know the RGB20s plays more systems but it feels so cheap compared to this and I had to buy almost 5 of those to get a screen that wasn’t falling out. The 35xx is a blessing to those wanting to hold onto game history or wants emulation at it’s simplistic form while still maintaining awesomeness. I left all but 1 of mine on stock because the stock itself wasn’t bad at all! Came with so many amazing games. I only had to add a few I loved to the console. And removing what I didn’t want or own/like was easy.
Nice video. I will stick with GarlicOS after all...
The yellow is sweeeeet
Check how NOT to do it, in our RETRO MOD video :-)
Hi, just a question... when i did the partition wizard, no files were in the share drive. Any tips on what to do if this happens?
It’s about time. 😂
There's a snake in my boot! 😂
Thanks for your part in it, sir!❤️🎮👾
The fact that N64, DC and PSP run on this cheap device is a fantastic achievement. It's sad that Amiga doesn't correctly run, as it's one of my favorite systems. Does it correctly run with Koriki ?
Yikes. The n64 and Dreamcast games can’t really be played. Seeing them on the system would be too much of a tease for me. Guess I’m sticking with Garlic OS. Thanks for making the video!
Do you think you can make a video comparing garlic and this UI? THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL
Hello, have you found a way to change the keys per game? In my case A and B are swapped. I would like to change.
Hey! Great video my man, much appreciated. I was wondering is it possible to add Batocera to SD card 1 and use SD card 2 for roms?
Yep you can do that. There's an option in the batocera system settings for internal or external rom folder. I think that's what you need. Check the wiki and you'll be good 😊
can i run the sd card on a laptop with internet to scrape the box art first or is there any other way to but box art there?
Can Batocera run NDS games? If so how does the second screen work assuming I don’t need to draw or anything like that? (Really just trying to play Pokémon SS/HG, Super Mario Bros. Etc)
Great Video. Do you know how to save your game?
what do you download the files at the start to the sd card or pc
Hi there,
Is there a way to do a dual card set-up?
Thanks
Everything up to applying changes to the SHARE partition worked; Minitool Partition Wizard insisting I pay to apply changes. Are there any alternatives that can be used?
So mini tool will ask this if you click a function that is not free. I used the free one, so give it another try, and do it slowly.
There are other tools available that do the same thing. Have a look around if minitool isn't working
If i have a botocera build for steam deck already flash to a micro sd card can i just boot from that on rg35xx or do i need a botocera build that was made for rg35xx thanks and great content
Had a question still very new to this retro handle scene is there a discord and or other website with more resource you can recommend? TIA!
How did you get the N64 controls mapped to the Dpad? I've been looking everywhere
Hey, thx for the Video. I have a Problem with Nintendo ds, IT shows always that there is no bios, i have the v34 bios Pack loaded in the Files. Do you have a fix for that ? Thx to you.
Umm, Title and video is for RG35xx but your link for firmware download is for the RG35xx H and RG35xx Plus. Am I missing something?
Go to the bottom of that page and click page 2 its near the bottom
does anyone know how to get this to work on chrome os . ive installed it on the sd card and it works on the rg35xx . but when i try to transfer games i get an error message that says "copy operation failed. the file could not be modified" any help would be greatly appreciated .
thanks
and why is the Share folder not showing up on my computer?
@TeamPandory SO can i Play pokemon black 2, diamond, Platinum etc. On batocera??
does this work on a powkiddy rgb20s?
Thanks for tutorial! How do I get out of a game and switch to another, without hitting the reset button? Thanks
Usually you configure the controls, then hold the hot key (usually select ) then tap start.
@@TeamPandory got it. Thanks!
thank you for the guide, i installed it and everything goes great, but when i connect an usb joystick to my device, it does not detected and work, do you have any idea to resolve this problem?
Which usb controller are you connecting exactly?
Will they make it work for Miyoo Mini Plus?
I tried to have wifi with a tp link usb receiver but I was not lucky. Can you help me?
WiFi will only work if batocera has the driver available for your WiFi adapter... If not then it won't be happening. 😔
Merhaba bende 35xx var wifi yok aynı disk içinde 2. Bölümü oluşturup içine bios ve romları atıyorum ama sistem o bölümü görmüyor ayarlardan o yolu göstermekmi gerekiyor hiç kimse acıklamamış
Thanks for the video! is there any way to get box art or meta data onto this?
Yeah, I think you may need to use the tool from skraper.net and run it on your roms.
@@TeamPandory do you have a video on that?
@@Curryking32000 no... Could make one I guess. There may be one available already tho. Search CZcams for skraper batocera.
This was a great video! I'm trying to play NDS games. They are loaded into the correct ROMS folder, but when I try to load a game, it doesn't load and I get booted to the home screen. Do you have any advice?
What were the rom filenames that you tried adding ?
0045 - Urbz - Sims in the City, The (U)(Brassteroid Team).nds, Nintendogs - Dalmatian & Friends (USA).nds, are a couple I tried adding. I also get a pop-up saying that the some BIOS files are missing. I added them from the batocera wiki to the BIOS folder, but they still wouldn't work. I'm not the most savvy with this kind of software, so there is a chance I did not add the BIOS files correctly.
I just added all the missing bios files. I did the "missing bios files" check in the system, and I have all of them. There aren't any missing BIOS files. However the games still aren't working.
is it's garlicOS default system on rg35x when we buyed it?
No. It's ... Whatever it is os. Um. Anbernic miyoo mini .. kinda.
So I wanna get this for my brother but I want it to play NDS games. Is batocera the only option? I don't like how complicated it is to put games on it
There are a couple more custom firmwares on the RG35XX, but we haven't tested them yet. ... Can't even remember the names 😂 Google "RG35XX cfw" something will appear and give you the options. Tbh batocera isnt that difficult to add games to. Give it a try 😉
System wont turn on with the sd card but will with the old card
same did u get it to work?
@@jaxgod nope, I just gave up, can't find anything how to fix it, just gonna keep the old software
I’m having issues with the installation. I flashed batocera using balena etcher, popped the card into my device and let it boot up. Then I took it out and popped it back in my laptop but there was no SHARE partition. Any idea where I am going wrong?
exact same thing happening to me, can only see the Batocera can't find the shared partition to save the roms
@@jac_91 I managed to solve the issue. The partition that is created is linux based and can't be seen via Disk Utility on Mac so you need to install other software (I used extFS for Mac) to find that partition, format it and then pop your SD card back into your device to properly set it up. I hope that helps!
@@WildBillWilson thank you!
I have mistake with it
When I formatted share to exfat and put it in the device and again put it in the po That doesn't show me roms folder and even bios folder in this po but in wizard app it show me the folders
What I must to do?
Probably I want help 8)
You might need to right click on system, then find your drive- and give your drive a letter so it can be visible in Windows Explorer.
Could it be that simple? I have the same issue..
I have the correct file format but none of the roms are loading/working. pleaseee help!
You need to give a lot more information. What system / ROM filenames / which games?
Hi! Just to make sure? This is for regular pre-2024 rg35xx, right?
The one we used was the first version of the 35xx, but I think the plus is also supported. Check their GitHub to see if your version is supported or not.
@@TeamPandory I am also using the first version. Thanks for the quick response!
Anyone got Syncthing working? How about the public web interface? Mine will not accept a connection but pings well enough.
Will i still be able to do this to my original rg35xx today? Because the batocera that i can find now are for the plus and H or am i just looking at the wrong places?
Good call! It seems they've changed the site to have an original RG35XX release, and one for the plus and rg35xx-H. This is the one you need here: github.com/rg35xx-cfw/Koriki/releases/tag/koriki_batocera_rg35xx_20240105
@@TeamPandory nice! thankyou so much
@@niellansangan7742 No problem😀
I have a specific question. With this new version of it out, do I still need to use mini tool? Instructions in the link kind of skips over it and now I’m curious if something is it’s necessary. In the video you use it several times. Also this new version, once it’s done flashing, the sd card then goes away and I can’t access the files because it doesn’t show up.
What bomberman game is that at the very beginning?
Either Mega Bomberman (Genesis), or Bomberman 93 (or 94) on the PCEngine.
Used the exact steps with the latest batocera update and my anbernic doesn’t boot at all, it’s not bricked because with garlic it works fine but when I try to boot batocera, nothing happens
Are you using a new microsd? - are you ok a RG35XX plus or the original RG35XX?
Original RG35XX with a relatively new sd, the problem is that I managed to get it working with an older batocera but that one rendered the buttons unusable, I wasn't able to configure the mapping like you did in the video @@TeamPandory
same
any solutions?
This is the last question, sorry so much for the back and forth but I deleted my roms and bios, how do I get them again? I have batocera but I am very worried what will happen because when I did it with garlic os, my rg35xx was stuck on the boot screen. Thank you so much for your help
As in you removed the folders and need them made again - or you need to find the bios files?
The answer to the former, is to boot batocera again. It makes them folders automatically, provided the partition is seen as the place for the storage.
As for the latter, you'll have to source them yourself. Either from real systems or by scouring the net. We can't share these for obvious reasons.
Oh ok, if Batocera is making folders, I can’t find them. I deleted the Roms and bios on accident while formatting the card since I was stupid. So I don’t have it saved on the rg35xx. Do you have anything or websites I can download from?
Thank you so much for the help by the way, I really appreciate it and I will try to help this channel as much as I can
@@enzokim946 thanks. Always happy to help 🙂
@@enzokim946 we recently made a tutorial that had a bit more of a detailed look into this.
czcams.com/video/xLglGuwLd7k/video.html
You can also try inserting an empty exfat microsd, and selecting "external" as storage space in the batocera menu. Then you'd have all your roms on a separate microsd.
What bomberman is in the video?
Either Bomberman 94 on the pcengine, or mega Bomberman for the megadrive.
I see you're Rg35xx is still going strong 😅
"strong" 😂 that thing is holding onto life with a fine thread
@TeamPandory It just goes to show you how amazing that little guy is. It just refuses to die, even after all it's been through. I'm convinced the Pikachu stickers are the only thing holding it together at this point 😅🤣
@@anthonytuccillo6274 I think they convert dust to RG35XX power pellets.
@TeamPandory lmao, serious question. RG35XX VS Miyoo mini plus. The referee is John Luke Picard. Which one wins?
@@anthonytuccillo6274 Miyoo Mini Plus. John Luke plays Transplant on the Amiga. He insists on being player two.
Bro change the link in the description to Batocera since it directs to H/Plus version
Does Batocera have RetroAchievement integration?
Batocera does, but you will need an active internet connection which the RG35XX doesn't have.
@@TeamPandory thanks for the fast reply. Imma need WiFi lol.
Is 16Gb memory card enough to install Batocera OS in Anbernic?
It should be enough, but you won't have a lot of space for games
Is it possible to add a saturn core just to see how it runs?
Probably, but it's going to be worse than terrible re: frame rate... Down to single digits I think.
@@TeamPandory I'd still love to see it/try it, I just wanna see if Sega rally is even remotely playable lol even if 5 fps
would this run on miyoo mini ?
No, afraid not. But onionos is already perfect :-)
Whats better garlic os or batocera?
They're both pretty different. Batocera is definitely more refined, but garlicos is for one that needs to jump in and out of games quickly.
Actually, I think the stock OS is better. I use GBA Sega Rally as my test game. Koriki cannot play it at speed, no matter what emulator is used, even with overclocking the system. Garlic has trouble with it too. But Anbernic's stock OS runs it fine, without tweaks. In playing Dead or Alive on PS1, there is sound tearing from Koriki and Garlic, but not from the stock OS. I don't deny that Koriki and Garlic can play games that the stock OS can't, but IMO, it's pretty pathetic when a system can't properly run a GBA game. Try it for yourself. Both Garlic and Koriki need some serious updating!
Whats your thoughts on battery life with batocera? I want to try it to see if i can play mariokart ds / matio kart on n64, but ive heard the battery life isnt great. Is that just with demanding games, or have you even noticed much of an issue with battery from batocera?
Wouldn't even bother with ds, but yes, I think it's a mix between playing more demanding games that drains the battery more. That, and the anbernic devices usually don't do that great Vs the competition. The miyoo and retroid can probably cream this for endurance, even when using stock firmware.
@@TeamPandory if you look into it theres a few videos showing mario kart ds playing very smoothly actually. my biggest hopes for this system is either MKds or Mk64 playability along with smash bros. anyway thanks for response, would you be able to give an estimate of what battery life is like? like 1-2 hrs depending on games played or what?
@@MrNiceTy yeah maybe... Still I'd rather play these more demanding systems on hardware that can actually handle most of the library. As for battery life, I couldn't really say. It depends wildly on what system you're emulating, but on ps1 I think you'd get around 4-5 hours. N64...Maybe just under 2
@@TeamPandory fair enough. eventually I'll prob get the rg353v. and dang okay. thats alot more battery life than i expected.
@@MrNiceTy we actually tested a load of handhelds for battery life on ps1 half a year back, but a video never came out of it. Retroid pocket 3+ and miyoo mini really did lead the pack with well over 8 hours battery life
For some reason, this refuses to work for me. When I'm done flashing, the share partition shows up at only 512mb. No tool lets me resize it to reallocate. The resize tool in partition wizard just refuses to resize it despite it being right next to 55g of unallocated space. Even then, when reformatting the tiny 512mb partition to exfat and putting it back in the device, when putting it back into the pc, it wont let me access the share partition.
You're not supposed to change it yourself, it automatically sets it up.
Batocera reallocates the rest of the space for you to use on the first boot of the device.
@@TeamPandory I already let it do it itself and it allocate the whole space to the partition. It literally just doesn't allocate the space. It only allocated 512mb and the rest just sits there.
@@BewbsOP it should sit there for ages depending on the size of the microsd. Once it's done you might not be able to see the partition on windows though.
Connect to your WiFi once batocera is on and see if you can copy games over
@@TeamPandory I did wait ages and CAN see the partition. It's 512mb. I used the partition tool and it shows 55g of space is completely unallocated.
@@BewbsOP There should be multiple partitions, one is small (usually called boot I think) which houses the main parts of batocera, and then the rest which Batocera should create on first boot.
If you're having issues with it being created, perhaps you're using a failing microsd, or one of poor quality? The one that Anbernic ships with these are generic and should probably be thrown in the bin.
Give it a try using another microsd.
Are there already games inside?
There are no commercial games coming with Batocera OS releases as this would set the whole project at risk of being legally banned. But there are a few free games included, compiled fnatively for the hardware. The RG35XX self if you mean this, comes with an SD card and a lot of games. But it's recommended to swap both OS and games for getting the most out of the RG35XX.
So you need to pay for Partition wizard? i installed the os but the thing costs 59 bucks a year
No. Use the free version
@@TeamPandory sorry for the back and fourth but to change it into fat, it wants you to get pro
@@enzokim946 are you converting it, or just formatting ? A solid formatting the partition shouldn't need to pay for anything.
Oh it works now, thanks. But how do you switch os
@@enzokim946 once shutdown, change microsd. Turn on
Why is Amiga running so bad here? The hardware isn't worse than the Miyoo Mini Plus. So shouldn't there be a lot of room for improvement in Batocera/RG35xx?
I'm guessing the core is just compiled incorrectly.
@@TeamPandory Thanks. Then there still is hope :)
@@elmariachi5133 yes! Depending on if the cfw devs for the RG35XX care about Amiga emulation or not 😂
so i got everything to work minus the ports. am2r does not show up (it did at one point but is no longer there)
Can it play no mercy
N64 WWF game? Maybe? Tbh I'd trust a handheld with a better chip like the 3566 to run N64 Vs this
Hi there ihave a unit on my own. But it isnt turning on but everytime I pluggedit in my pc via usb c windows will detect a device but nothing shows up% just wondering is there any way to fix it? Or isit junk by now?😂
Sounds like it needs charging. Plug it into a 2a 5v smartphone charger and leave it for a bit
@@TeamPandory eventho the screen heats up abit after 15mins of charging? The green indicator as well doesn't seem to show up
@@ameeusic yes. It heats up as the battery is in there. Did it ever work? Might be best asking anbernic or the reseller about this

Does the Amiga work? On batocera rg35xx
Slowly, but we've yet to try the later builds of the custom firmware
@@TeamPandory thanks. I am looking for information on whether Amiga works on any cfw rg35xx. This is strange, because generally all cheap handhelds, Amiga work badly or not at all. And more demanding games like PSP, PSX work. Was the Amiga more demanding?
@@richieploomba6029 surprisingly, it's at around the same level as something like the psp when you're wanting to run it well on all games, including Jim power.
I've seen videos of the RG35XX running amiga at a good speed on maybe koriki- but need to check it
Won’t let me… says I got no space in the “/dev/disk/“ what is that? How do I make space? Someone please help me quick….
When did that happen? Sounds like you need a bigger... Microsd ?

Is batocera, or onion os better?
Batocera has a few more emulators available like n64, Dreamcast etc. Onionos is only available on the Miyoo, but if you mean garlicos, then I think people may prefer that due to the easy user experience.
All user preference tbh.
@@TeamPandory how is the performance on batocera in terms if games for retro consoles such as nes, snes, and gba?
And yes, I had mistaken garlic os for onion os, sorry about that
@@ianproductions5540 no worries. :-)
@@ianproductions5540 they all work full speed... There's an overclocking option in the settings too
i HAVE BEeN tRying to run MUGEN games on my RG35XX, has anyone else tried this?
I'm pretty sure mugen will need a lot more power, and would benefit if it's on a x86 platform. For the RG35XX I'd rank it under "unlikely to work", but by all means give it a go!
The unit cannot charge when turned off it will boot into batocera to charge with music loop. This is a deal breaker.
U shoulda tweaked some settings...plays better than that.😎
Detail, DETAIL! 😂
That poor poor screen 😢😂
Yeah. Wonder what happened to it ? ... 😂
@@TeamPandory some says, because use more than 1.5A charger. will break the screen.
@@setsamidori8666 I charged with 2.2A 20W iphone charger. Nothing happened.
Dude this is cap all it did was delete all my files🤧👿
WTF is BATOCERA, and wtf is Etcher?
Batocera is a front end to retroarch, etcher is an img burner like win32imager... Wait... You've been around long enough to know that 🤣
@@TeamPandory - Wasn't familiar with either though, I may be behind the times...also is a front end necessary for retroarch? Doesn't it have its own built-in GUI and wouldn't a front end just slow it down? Also I find it strange that the RG35XX has so much trouble running Amiga games when I've never had any issues running them on my hacked OG Evercade...
Yes
@@JohnnyProctor9 I guess it's not really necessary if you like retroarch as it is. But I mean it's essentially emulation station like used on retropie.
@@JohnnyProctor9 I think the core is just compiled incorrectly. The miyoo mini plays Amiga much better and has a worse spec.
