- čas přidán 26. 06. 2024
- GammaOS is a new custom Android operating system for the Anbernic RG405M and RG505 devices. It improves performance, battery life, controls, and even the display. In this video I'll show you how to set it up, and demonstrate why it improves the software to finally match the RG405M's high-quality hardware. We'll also take a quick look to see how it compares against its main competitor, the Retroid Pocket 3+.

#Anbernic #RG405M #GammaOS #RG505 - Hry
Ooooo, this is going to make both my 405 and 505 all shiny again.
The improvements are pretty noticeable. Thanks for this bud awesome video👍🏾
Definitely doing this when I get home from work today. I used your original 405M setup guide and gamma OS looks like it's worth it for the Xbox functionality alone. Thanks for your invaluable service to this community!
I have followed these exact instructions. I am happy to say that everything went through flawlessly and no issues had occurred. Thank you for the tutorials and wonderful content!
nice
how do you move roms to the sd card? I mean, what is the directory supposed to look like?
Bought my RG 405M two weeks ago. Still waiting for it in the mail. Looks like I purchased at the right time. Can't wait. Thanks for the in-depth video Russ. Going to make my upgrade path so much easier.
What did you think about it?
@@xhenriquefps I honestly love the 405m. I bought some grips for mine at the same time, but I actually prefer playing it without them. Unfortunately mine did end up with a faulty right shoulder button.
I contacted Anbernic about this but because I bought mine from Ebay, they didn't even respond to my email, (despite offering to pay for the repair). I am very disappointed about that. The faulty shoulder button issue is very common. The newer 405m devices have an revised shoulder button design and are apparently more reliable.
Take that for what it is. I love this damn thing but have had a horrible experience with rectifying an issue.
I could play games on it that don't use the shoulder buttons but my enthusiasm has been bent out of shape sue to my experience and for that reason I haven't used it for a while now. If you get a good unit, it really is a pleasurable device though. My advice if you buy one to get a new unit. Pay special attention to the shoulder buttons.The earlier units (like mine, eg the ones likely to become faulty) have the L1 and R1 buttons next to, but also wrap behind the L2 and R2 buttons. The newer units are more reliable. They are distinguishable because the R/L1 buttons do not wrap around, they are ONLY next to the R/L2.
The video is awesome and plus, the last part comparing RG405M and RP3+ is extremely valuable. Thank you!
Hi! thank you for all your reviews and tutorials, its because of your videos i was able to get back in retro gaming, please don't stop doing what you do best, you have our support and love!
I've been trying (and failing) to install gammaOS since i found out about it, and thanks to your step by step guide, i got it in 1! I'm so happy. Thanks Russ!
How it went to regular os with me
What bar is the Rg405M??
Finally pulled the trigger on this, always love your tutorials on custom firmware. The onionOS tutorial was the main reason i bought my miyoo mini.
Thank you very much for this guide. 🖤
Picked this one up today and successfully installed GammaOS with no issues
Wow the screen quality while going through the systems is outstanding!!! Great improvement over the original OS
I was doubtful about upgrading since I ve invested so much time on the configuration but I will do it. Great review!!!
Hope you enjoy it!
How did it go?
Love the idea of this device being a ‘mini hulk’ of emulation, all while running on gammaOS. Very fitting.
I have it on my 505 and it completely transformed it. Even fixed the over-sharpening on the oled that anbernic puts by default
performance wise, how much did it improve?
@@rizrayo8163 performance is now on par with the retroid pocket 3+, considering its using the same drivers now.
Overall its more stable, plus i can play android games that support native controllers, because the developer of GammaOS made it to where the RG505 controls emulate a wireless xbox 360 controller.
Its interesting that some creator can capture their audience attention and we don't even need to own any of these devices. I just watch his videos to hear him talk and hang out. Lol i own the miyoo + and satisfied. But the more videos Russ shells out with other devices makes me want to buy them. Hopefully he gets these products for free or sponsorship. 👍🏽 keep doing your thing hommie!
Wow! That’s the first video I have found that’s actually clear and easy to follow. Thanks!
It worked perfectly. Thanks for another awesome guide. This is the 4th or 5th guide of yours that I have used without issue.
I recently got the 405m and am liking it. I'm convinced now to go ahead and do the gamma install. I will use this video for the tutorial.
thanks Russ, just got my 405m, and after a week was doubting weather i should have bought the 3+. I'm happy with my choice now 😁
I've been watching for a while thinking of a device to finally get for myself and man this one might be doing it for me. The small size, the 4:3 screen, and the improved performance with the new OS...... man this might be it
I'm struggling too! I'm really feeling this device, I just wish they had the stacked shoulder buttons. But you can't beat that price, power, availability and affordability.
I went with this device because it had superior battery life compared to other models, touch screen, and had a pretty diverse emulation range. This was the only one I saw the specifically listed NGC, a big plus in my book.
Edit: add on the usbc and wifi capabilities. Makes it a breeze installing new roms I imagine. Mines coming a couple days!
@tylerhanson I ended up getting one and installed gammaOS. I am HIGHLY satisfied with this and have no regrets. And you're right, the touch screen feature is nice and battery life is amazing.
GammaOS is great too. Ps2 and gamwcube games run well, but I mainly got it for dreamcast emulation. You'll love it!
@@AllenSettle I want to buy it also for DC emulation mainly! Isn't it too annoying to reach the L/R buttons?
@remifernandez6390 that is my only complaint about it. Dreamcast games are amazing, and I screen cast it to my TV and It all runs great, but the triggers are cumbersome. I have long fingers so when I press them overtime my fingers tend to cramp. Also, they are way too clicky and sometimes it feels like I'm going to break them. Stacked shoulder buttons would be better.
Even though I'm downplaying the trigger ergonomics, I'm still happy with the device, although, I do wonder if the retroid pocket 3 plus would've been a better option with the stacked triggers. But being so pocketable is a trade off.
I don't even own any of these yet I watched to the end 😂
And I don’t even know you yet I read your comment 😂
Lol me too but it motivates you to get one
Lol me too
I don't have any of these but planning to buy one to serve as my DC, N64 and Saturn device.
I already own RG35XX which serves as my NES, SNES, Genesis and PSX device.
I am also planning to buy Switch for Switch games.
The final device that I am planninv to buy is either ASUS ROG or the Ayaneo 2 because it can play Gamecube, PS2, PS3, XBOX and XBOX 360.
So far, I am 1/4 in my bucket list.
Same, buddy. Same.
Perfect timing, ordered mine today! 🔥
Perfect timing too, with a new Anbernic summer sale happening!
Yo keep up the great uploads 🎉 I always fell happy to see your videos 😅
I just followed your install of Gamma OS on my RG405M. It works so differently from the Anbernic stock firmware. I can play my 3DS games now without lag. Thank you.
Subscribed as soon as intro played. Top notch.
"Now you're a developer, you didn't have to go to school or anything!" I love your humor in these Russ! This is amazingly good news for me, I enjoyed the little "RPG" you did in your 405M review, and I ended up with 4HP so I bought the thing, but I haven't had a chance to set it up yet. Seems like I accidentally did myself a favor by waiting!
Yes you are lucky. I had my 405 for awhile and it took me DAYS to set everything up. If I install Gamma I would need to do that all over again, no fun.
Nice improvement on the screen! The artifacts you're seeing with the stock OS are called "ringing", and they're common to bad sharpening algorithms (like unsharp mask): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringing_artifacts
Nice, thanks for the clarification Isaac!
I really thought it was just a crappy screen, I'm so excited that this could be fixed through software 🤯
For everyone with error 9009 during the flashing process - copy all the data from the "ADB and Fastboot++" folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)) into the GammaOS folder (usually in your download direction) - after that everything works fine. 🙂
This would only be an issue if you forgot to tick the checkbox to add a PATH for fastboot in the installation routine. But yeah, IF you forgot that, placing the file next to the batch file that is looking for it is a good fix. :)
such a live saver for a lazy type of person like me who doesnt watch the full video first lul
Excuse me can you help me? (I am a RetroHeld noob)
I installed Gamma OS successful.
I added the games from my MicroSD on the RG405M ...and they work as before (with the standard OS)
Then I saw that (unlike in the preinstalled OS) the emulators for N64, PS2, Dreamcast/Wii , Gamecube are missing.
RetroGameCorps didn´t mention this in the video.
So I downloaded the (free) emulators over the Playstore that where missing.
Like Dolphine for exemple.
Dolphine and DolphineMMJ(?) was on the Stock RG405M
and it runs the games from the card and the ones I had installed later.
But now ( on Gamma OS) NO of the from Playstore installed emulators run any of the games?! (N64, PS2, Dreamcast/Wii , Gamecube)
Can you tell me why? Did I forget something?
Thank you very much
After two restarts and loading the games directly over Apps - Emulators - Dolphine...PPSSPP and so on.
They start the games.
But PS2 Emulator says no bios found...?
And N64 didn´t find the MicroSD card like the others...
Beside this problem they have no controls for the games... buttons don´t work.
(The PSP Emulator works with controls, but not the Wii/Dreamcast and so on...strange)
Ok I will check videos for them.
Too confusing
This OS has made me glad that I chose to keep my RG505 vs my RP3 (non-plus). I honestly thought the blooming was due to it being OLED, but the screen looks sooooo much better now, it's insane. Sure, not as high res as the RP3, but the pop and color clarity of the Vita OLED screen can't be understated. (Don't get me wrong, I liked the RP3 also, but I honestly prefer the slightly larger/chunkier feel of the RG505, and the larger screen is easier for my old eyes lol)
Thanks for the guide!
Thank you for all that you do! You make things a lot easier for me lol
Great video, Russ. Hopefully the Powkiddy X28 gets some CFW support as well. Powkiddy has already solved the L2/R2 issues with a software update last month.
Wow. This now makes the rg405m a more attractive choice over the RP3+ as I mainly focus on 4:3 retro gaming.
I love you Russ!
You rock man!
Amazing job, you made that so easy, thank you!
Thegammasqueeze did a great job on this one. Retrotechdad made a few videos about it as well
Thanks so much for this. Followed along and all sorted
Congrats on 500k! Sorry about chicken, I was watching this with one of ours and gave him a hug as instructed. ❤
Excellent video, worked perfectly. Thanks!
I been waiting for this
I just got my 405m today. Gonna be doing this soon EDIT: finally got to install it after a long work week. The difference is clear right off the bat. Thanks for this video
Bless you! I was gifted the 405m and was ready to launch it into orbit!
Love your channel ❤
Wow, this new update really blows me away with this system. I've been looking for something like this, that will let me play some retros in good quality but also comes packing psp. My only problem is, looking forward to buying on emulation console, I don't know if I should buy this one or another one I've seen for less price but similar performance, the RBG10MAX Pro.
Do you think there's any change of you reviewing this second console on the channel? I've seen reviews but I feel like they fail to expose little details that are game changers, and you always get those right.
Thanks and have a nice day ^^
I find that the 405M screen is best for retro games. It isn't just that the aspect ratio matches. That 640x480 resolution is a nice perfect integer scale for many systems meaning you don't get uneven pixels or filter blurring that you get when scaling to an odd resolution like is on the RP3+. Yes shaders help but you get a bit of blurring on the edges. PS1 and N64 is an exact 2X of OG 320x240 to 640x480 so at 2X rendering the pixels match exactly. DC, GC, PS2 were all 640x480 consoles so you get a perfect 1:1 pixel mapping. That means no blur and sharper pixels. Other 2D systems that were 320x240 or very close (NeoGeo, Genesis etc) integer scale perfectly with no borders or a very slight border if slightly less than 320x240 (like Genesis). The RG405M also has the biggest 4:3 screen currently available.
This gamma OS looks good but the thought of losing all of my settings for all of my emulators and having to re-install and set up all of my standalone emulators gives me pause, it is a lot of time to re-do it all. There are a lot of these stand alone emulators that just run better than Retroarch which is very optimized so I want to keep those.
In PAL regions, the Dreamcast and GameCube run at 720 x 480P(or up to 720 x 576 on GameCube) so really 16:10 is more ideal for those of us who are using PAL ROMs or ripping our own collections to play OTG.
Shame everyone is either 16:9 or 4:3, especially since 16:10 scales to things like the GameBoy Advances 3:2 better than either 4:3 or 16:9, and just looks nicer in general.
640x480 is a lot more than 2x 320x240 lol. Do the math, it's 4x.
@@YourPalHDee 2X each axis 2X V, 2X H. Yes in total that is 4X the pixels. The point being it is an even multiple so no fractional scaling that causes artifacts.
This is what I've been waiting for!! I was pretty bummed that i couldnt play android games and metal slug on neogeo becuase the grenades don't work!! I need to install this asap thank you.
The "where.exe fastboot.exe" part from the Github instructions is SUPER important. My flashing bat stayed at the first step ("fastboot flash vbmeta_a flash/vbmeta_custom.img") like forever and I was unsure whether that's normal or not since you fast forwarded your video (for obvious reasons) but in fact I killed the process with CTRL+C and did the where.exe stuff only to find out I had an old fastboot.exe lying around at C:\adb\ which I renamed. Now it's flashing.
Apart from that, thank you very much for the guide, mate.
i just had the same problem, thank you!
@@Sherkov_ glad to be of any help
Doing this now stoked!! 🔥
Tbh I was into this stuff for a long time just loading up every device i could with roms all in one neat little package but this current boom has me addicted again. Im currently still playing on an RG35XX. That 405m looks tempting tho knowing theres a solid os out there for it.
The best retro gaming channel on CZcams ❤❤❤
By far the best!
Agree
Well, you helped me debloat my RG405M right after I got it. Looks likes it's time to follow you again into a new, smoother season with this device.
"7:13 I've made it to here and have the "fastboot mode" on the Anbernic, but the "Connect" button on the site does not respond. I get the toggle web effect, but there's no response. Stuck. Any ideas?
I did the upgrade and I really like it a lot, but I’ve found so far that it only wants to use retro arch for everything. I found this out after I reinstalled some other paid emulators like redream and saba sanshiro 2. I guess my gripe is it want my sweet sega systems to work but I’m ok with having to just play through the actual emulation app for now. I understand this is a new platform. Great guide. I recently got the 405m and I’m returning to the emulation community for prob after 15 years. I love handheld gaming and this certain system is great for this use case. I love your vids. Thanks again.
If you tap on the pencil icon in Daijisho when showing Dreamcast, Saturn, etc, you can change which emulator will launch, so you can still play those games with the standalone options. Here is my setup guide for Daijisho, which will walk you through that process: czcams.com/video/l-AhfEGuMao/video.html
@@RetroGameCorps I understand, what I’m saying is for example, launching Saturn from daijiishu doesn’t work anymore with it pointed to the app, so I have to go into my apps and launch saba, also launching Dreamcast just pops us redream and then I have to navigate the game itself. I’m not sure if I’m the only one having these issues but I’ll will keep messing with it. Overall great experience.
Sorry man, I want to help you. I know the fix for Redream, but for some reasons, my comments keep getting deleted. I have no idea why. 🙄
Thanks for the tutorial made me subscribed 😊
I can’t wait to get my unit.
love your videos man keep it up never change
I own an Ally but decided to get this for emulation up to PS2. I know it doesn’t run all PS2 games but I’m hoping Shadow Hearts 2 will run well. Plus I love the native PS2 resolution and aspect ratio. Got it today and the build quality is so nice. The all-metal chassis literally makes it feel more premium than the Ally and Deck lol
Update: Shadow Hearts 2 runs perfectly! I use Vulkan and the only other setting I changed is to enable the diagonal TV filter
just finished shadow hearts 2 on the ally started with the steam deck. finished shadow hearts 1 on my android phone and having the bigger screen man I cant go back. this is a cute little handheld though. baggy pant pocketable for convenience.
After installing GammaOS, do you need to find again the appropriate BIOS files for PS2 and other consoles that require Bios?
@@neilsagenes872yes you do
@@Rohit.Nayyar Are Bios files easy to find?
@@zanfear Yes, easy to find.
Perfectly work, thx you so much !
I have always enjoyed your videos, you are very professional and thorough. I have swtiched my RG405M to GammaOS, and the only problem I have found so far is that the Analag does not work with Mame, but works fine within Retroarch and other platforms like the SNES. I'll have to come back to your previous videos to check if there's anything I've missed.
Same here, just fixed it. On the Mame platform screen, click the small pencil icon (bottom right),
change the default player from "... mame2003" to "... mame2010".
Hope it helps.
@@PinocChio852 , myu rom pack is not working with Mame2010, they keep hanging. I might get a new rom pack.
Is a similar video going to be made for the advantages of rg505 combined with gamma os? Great content thanks! I just purchased a rg505 so I'm definitely interested lol
I like that these devices are now neck and neck in quality that it comes down to personal preference. Good healthy competition.
I've followed both anbernic and Retroid subreddits and it's a night and day difference, anbernic users are non stop complaining about quality control issues or components easily breaking. Retroid users are mostly just happily posting pics of their retroids
Great tutorial! Thank you!
The RG405V recently got support for GammaOS. Any chance you'll do an update video for it and show the set up like you did here?
Hey, loving your videos, helping me greatly with my brand new RG405m. My next step will be following this video for GammaOS, but I've never set up an SD ROM card for use with a handheld retro device.
At 10:52 you note that you'll have video Guides for "adding ROMS to an SD Card and pointing Daijishō to those" in the notes below, but I'm not finding them (I searched your CZcams videos list as well, but if they're there I didn't recognize them.
Can you help me out on that? Just a pointer to the video guide?
Amazing tutorial, thank you!
Ty for this content. So helpful
Fantastic video, thank you very much
I can’t decide between installing regular Gamma OS or Gamma OS Lite. I have a question. If I buy an app like PS Play, then would I be able to download it on another device without paying again? Because I know the Google Play Store uses your login to save your purchases for installation on all your devices. This is the only thing stopping me right now from getting Lite. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
The purchase is registered to your account and can therefore be downloaded to multiple devices. While sometimes you can transfer an APK (like a backup) from one device to another that does not have the Play store, they might need the play services to confirm the purchase or in-app purchases. So, in short, if you have bought things on the store just use the firmware with the store preinstalled.
Thanks for the video! Changed to GarlicOS today. I was having trouble rebooting to fastbood mode so I factory reset, then followed the steps all over. Was able to continue after that!
This is a very good channel. Thank you.
It would be cool if you make a video showing all the games you can run on that device, also can you play mobile games like brawlstars without any problems?
Nice video man!
Russ, what lens are you using for the macro parts of this video? Looks great.
I use this lens with my iPhone, it's great but you also need to buy their case to attach it. I've had it for years and it's worked well across multiple phones, but I do have to buy a new case every time I get a new phone. www.shopmoment.com/products/macro-lens
tyvm for great guide!
At first I thought the 405M screen was not very crisp. Like RGC I just put this down to the screen being low resolution and bigger in size than the 3.5 inch models. But no, it was just Anbernics screen sharpening. Combine that fix with the smooth 60 hz fix, and this GammaOS is an essential upgrade for this device.
Just bought my own 405m and love it! But this definitely looks like a game changer. Time to change the OS😂
Ok so Gamma OS has completely changed this device for me. I literally deleted my ebay listing for selling this device. Great job team!
Thanks for this video ! Did you try to play MS-DOS games with the dosbox core of RetroArch in GammaOS ? Does it work well ? Did you also try to install Magic DosBox as well to try it out ?
2nd day with GammaOS on my new RG405M. What can I say? Good that I chose this instead of the RP3+. Totally worth it! Best upgrade from my Miyoo Mini+. 😊 Took me a whole day to watch through your android retro gaming setup and RetroArch setup guide. Some works, some don’t. Guess your RetroArch setup needs an update. 😅 Lots of config has swapped places and some cores are better than the other (esp for PSX).
Is it safe? Not tryna brick my device
@@thatalgerian94 If you know what you are doing, it is safe. If you do not know what you are doing, it is not. If done incorrectly, you may brick your devices. If you are someone who frequently install custom ROM on your Android devices, this will surely be a piece of cake.
@@TanKianW79 iv done this type of stuff before and the instructions seem straight forward, its just that i keep going on gamma os tutorial videos and when i hit most recent comments i see a lot of people complaining about bricking their systems becuase one of the steps didnt work. I think il just pass on it for now and use daijisho frontend until something more brick proof comes out, thanks tho
I really do wish we had options like this for the RP3+ and Flip. I would love to be able to have this rooted etc. I'm kinda jealous. You should try CPU Float to see the stats, would be great to see what the GPU and CPU are doing and the power draw. Great vid once again. ^_^
I'm more excited to see what OnionOS/GarlicOS (or whatever this build will be called) can do with this device, but even this makes me more excited to consider buying one of these in the near future as it seems perfect for me.
Avoid Garlic OS it's incredibly slow
Hey man! Ive been watching tons of your videos, and Im still doubting so much into getting an anbernic or a retroid. I love the 4:3. screen of anbernic, cause Im only gonna be using it to consoles up to game cube, but what Im more focused on is playing game cube and ps2.
Is there any suggestion you could give me
Hey there....i like your content. I just got my first 405m and am new to retro handhelds in general. My question is, do I just go straight to the gamma os install process, or do i still have to go back to the initial setup video process. I don't want to waste time if the gamma setup process wipes everything anyways but I am happy to put the time in if important steps from earlier are needed. Thanks
hello, will you do a guide/review of the latest version of batocera for the rg35xx or the dual boot version of garlicOS?
Nice guide, thank you!
Just a question: sould the BIOS folder/files be on the SD card when using GammaOS (or Android..)?
It is a huge benefit for everyone that GammaOS reached a mature point in the recent days, and now it is the only way to put RG405M on the same performance level of the last RP3+ firmware. Russ, I have a question for you: even if it's probably too early for having a clear idea, do you think the upcoming GarlicOS on RG405M announced by Black Seraph would be able to push this chipset even beyond GammaOS performance, or will it be just a more user friendly system? What should we expect? :)
My understanding is that GarlicOS will initially only focus on RetroArch cores, so upper range performance will be limited to those systems that are supported. It’s more about transforming the device into a more “console like” experience than trying to push performance.
@@RetroGameCorps Thank you! Of course I am expecting a video in the future, maybe with a comparison between GarlicOS and GammaOS when the first will be finally available ;)
@@RetroGameCorps Isn't GarlicOS based on a Lite Linux Distro OS ?
So you not only compromise on the midrange systems (Wii, GameCube, 3DS, PS2) but you also lose access to thousands of Android Games, and the convenience of certain Android Apps.
But it might be worth the trade-off for a more seamless gaming experience for the lower-end systems, and using that 4:3 screen to its fullest. Only problem is the D-Pad being compromised.
I think there's just a bit too many compromises. Either get the Anbernic RG305m for the better experience for retro, or step up to the full Retroid Pocket 3+. But that's just my thoughts, what do you think?
@@ekinteko the new GarlicOS will be run off an SD card, so you can have both the Android and Garlic experience depending on your mood. So really it’s a nice complement, as opposed to having to sacrifice one over the other.
@@RetroGameCorps
Oh that makes it much better.
Hopefully you can share the internal storage. So you can store your ROMs and Saves in a single directory, then access them either through LinuxOS or AndroidOS.
Although, coming from someone who used to dualboot PCs (Hackintosh, Windows, Linux): I think I (and most people) ended up using one system almost exclusively, so it becomes a moot point.
Hi Bro. I am a new subscriber and new to retro gaming. Would you recommend Anbernic RG405M for a new retro gamer on a budget. If not what's the better alternative? Thanks!
Ive been putting a lot of time in Sega Saturn with black bars on the widescreen retroid pocket, which made me want the 405m because of the aspect ratio and pocketability.
Waiting patiently for RG405V.
I wonder... did you ever test touch input in like point and click adventures on dos? I heard with the build in OS it was glitchy as well. Is that better too with Gamma OS?
Best video on this devices. 😊
When I use an SD card will Gamma OS make folders for all the systems? I know some of the OS's when you use a new SD card will organize and put folders on there for Roms but idk if they do it. If not do I need to separate them myself or will the os just separate it for me?
The automatic keymapping sold me.
17:00 you show Sega Rally 2 and talk about the frame rate. This game was notorious for its dips in frame rates when it was originally released on the Dreamcast. Would like to know if this OS on the 405 fixes this problem or if it still happens?
Nice!
All done upgraded to Gamma OS, great tutorial. Is it normal to get the Anbernic logo every time I power on the 405m? Plus that message on the side of the screen.
Great Video!
If I’ve spent the time customizing retroarch and daijisho on stock firmware, am I going to lose all of that and more importantly my save games and states by upgrading? I’m very tempted especially for the screen fix. Thanks!
Potentially stupid question but, is this OS something that we could port to the older retroids such as the 2+ to see that same uptick?
Would this Gamma OS install on an RG405V or would I have to wait for a specific version for that model?
Russ out here updating firmware while drinking Alizé… jkjkjk great video as always man.
Ha, it's kombucha :)
Once installed is there a way to turn off the message that appears sideways during the boot up or goes that need to stay? Also can USB debugging be turned off or is that needed to added more rooms via USB? Thanks again for helping me choose the 405m!
My brand new 405M has just arrived (upgarding finally from my trusty 351M). I'd been holding off, trying to decide between the 405M and the RP3+ as they both seem to offer what I want, but with holidays looming I wanted to get something and this video pretty much sealed the deal. My question is this though, can I just jump in out of the box with the Gamma OS install stuff or does it need to layer on top of other OS/firmware/updates that I should work through first?
iim in the exact same boat. The 351m was awesome and now I want more power.
