- There is a lot of different options available to you when you play handheld systems like the Game Boy or Game Gear on the RG351P or RG351M. So in this guide I'll walk you through how to set up overlays, shaders, colorization, and ghosting in order to accurately recreate those original handheld systems.

First time I've heard ghosting and feature in the same sentence! XD
remarkably underrated comment.
Hey, they usually call it motion blur lmao.
combined it becomes motion blur.
Anbernic:"We sourced the finest IPS screens money can buy." RGC: "That's cute, but only 90s imperfections will do!" XD
This is amazing! Thanks for creating all these guides :D
I'll do it right now, your guides are great!
DUDE...cant say how much i thank you for your content.
Amazing project bro, helped me a lot with my new RG351p!
Keep pushing man, the community thanks you!
You helped me create a gaming beast with your guides.
Thanks again!
It´s amazing how a simple overlay can make so much better the handheld emulation experience. Thank you!
I can’t believe it! This morning I was thinking that after work I would search for a guide somewhere for the best overlay effects. And here it is, magically appearing as the first new video recommended to me.
Great minds think alike :)
I still haven’t gotten Mame artwork to display tho. On ArkOS. Trying to get backdrops to display, such as in Asteroids deLuxe. Even though it is probably going to make everything harder to see on the small screen, I want to see it working. Have spent a good deal of time on it over this past months. All in all arcade emulation is confusing on this device. There are Mame folders everywhere. Tried putting the artwork files in various roms Mame subfolders, bios subfolders, ftp’ed into Retroarch’s system folder. Nothing.
Amazing! I was just thinking about this just the other day and boom you come out with a vid about it. Can't wait 'till I receive my rg351m and put this guide into play.
I keep coming back to your screen settings videos... this is gold!
Wow, I can't believe how great both this video and the written guide are. Highly appreciated, thank you very much!
HANDHELD SCREEN SETTINGS ARMY ASSEMBLE!!1!
Once again great work from Retro Game Corps!
Thank you for sharing the details of making the MOST of these handheld systems.
I also didn’t have a DMG Gameboy. Every once in a while I had a friend that would break it out on a sleepover when we were supposed to go to bed. I still remember seeing the red & blue headphone for the first time. It was so high tech and exotic to me at the time.
Man, your videos are so detailed, well presented and instructional. One of the best retro gamer content maker out there : ) And this is a video that I HOPED someone had made!
Thanks ever so much for these video guides - I'm loving the nostalgia :D
Your guides are helping me out a lot and your reviews are excellent. You earned a sub from me.
Thank you. This is exactly what i was looking for.
Nice work Russ, I'll be doing this at the weekend. Thanks for sharing.
These guides are great and I would've loved to have something this structured when I was starting to use retroarch on my pc and phone
When I first received my 351P I was really disappointed most systems looked awful at the stock settings but thanks to your videos I love it the emulation is top notch . I really only use it for the 8 & 16bit systems I also upgraded the memory card to a Samsung 256gb (overkill but what I had laying around) and the latest firmware as well as box art and videos it's a sweet little system when properly setup.
keep doing what you are doing, I will watch every future video about rp351
Great video, when my 351m comes tomorrow I'll be applying a lot of these settings, thanks
This is so perfect. Thanks for the videos sir!
Enjoyed your videos as always, quality content indeed!
This is a really good one very clear info :) as usual!
Again very helpful! We are all getting Retrohandheld pros now =D Thanks Russ!
Great guide as usual!
Wow what a jump in the past... perfect setting to play with gameboy games!!! I’ll do the same on my rg351p!!! Thx Russ
Very cool, love making little touches like these.
This content is awesome, I cant wait to dive into this when my rg351m arrives
My pleasure!
The nostalgia is strong when you're trying to recreate the flaws lol Good guide man!
Great video Russ, a step closer to game specific bezels... I never thought of checking reddit for a solution 👍
Awesome video. I wish you would do shader showcases more often with some of the newer handhelds. This is a major point of interest for me as to which handheld emulation system i want to buy. I would love to see what the Odin Lite can do in this regard, as well as the Retroid Pocket 2+ and the RP3 whenever it comes out.
Spot on !
Anothet great guide, good job!
Awesome, I don´t have any of this devices, but I really like your videos.
Perfect guide for a perfect setup.
Another great video ! Thank you!
No way! This is awesome! Thanks!
Awesome video as usual RG351p CZcams king now if I could only convince you of doing videos on the GPD XD+ yes I know its older but I just got one and I am seriously Impressed.
great vid man, this is the best rg351p help channel out there but i think i'd rather a bigger screen over nostalgia.
I just bought my 351 and waiting for it to arrive. You’re saving my lazy ass, thanks!
Cheers Russ, cool video.
Brilliant! Thank you so much!
Just passing by to say that I love that intro. haha
Boomarked! Gameboy Tetris HAS to be experienced in green! :-P Tetris, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Gargoyle's Quest, these are the games I remember from a schoolmate's Gameboy back in the summer of '92! I was a proud owner of a Game Gear so this vid is a gift!
good guide :)
Great guide as usual! What are your recommendations for PSX? I kinda find they look a bit trashy, PCSX enhanced resolution is too demanding for the chipset, and there are no anti-aliasing shaders available...
Not many people knew this but any 3DS virtual console games you have for Gameboy and Gameboy Color can do this exact same thing by holding Start+Select and booting up the game!
Would love to see ya do one of these videos for the Steam Deck :)
Thanks for the guide, you have helped me with my new RG351P :)
Has anyone else had issues with a quieter left speaker? It’s the same with the original firmware SD card and the one I setup with Arkos.. both in the menu and in games.
I’ve only had it two days but of course the warranty will be voided due to removing the SD card sticker.
Thanks as always for your guides. You’ve really helped me a lot. Will this also work on the RG280V?
@brycat9001 Damn, thank you for the reply. Do you have an RG280V?
OMG you are really outdoing yourself! Your written guide is amazing. Did you opt for ArkOS over 351Elec? Aren't most of the settings in 351Elec already set?
Great video! Any ideas why when I set "GB Colorization" to internal it resets once I close retroarch? If i create a game options file it works but I don't really want to do that for every game. Saving the overrides by content directory doesn't seem to do it either.
Late but you are going to have to. Overrides is for different settings.
Man, i have a issue, in Game Gear when i go to change Aspect Ratio there is no 1:1 PAR (10:9 DAR) option , ony 1:1 PAR (4:3 DAR) and the image is very small when iteger scale is ON , how can i add 1:1 (10:9 DAR) Option as you?
I'm having the same issue :(
Same problem here
Same here, I chose 4:1 and I think it looks pretty good
I'm also having this exact issue. Has anyone figured this out?
I have a question about the themes, i already create my own themes but i want to test it, i dont have yet the USB C adapter, so i cant access to the FTP, is there any way to access to all that documents to insert manually the themes via USB in my pc?
I hope eventually the PocketGo will get this level of control in regards to customizing display options.
Really appreciate these guides. Forgive me if you've already made a video on this but I can't seem to find one, I'm trying to see if there's a way on my rg351p to map certain controls per individual game (within RetroArch). Because of the way just mapping the default controls works, it means fixing them for certain games messes it up for others. Anyway if there's a simple fix I'm not seeing or a process I can take to do this I'd really love your insight, thanks!
Very good guide, I've upgraded from RG350M to RG351M for a few reasons including retroarch, potential psp support etc... Anyhoo this guide helped me feel like the upgrade is worth it, using the shaders has really made a difference making individual emulators feel completely independent systems!
I'm wanting to take my game saves and game save states from my pocket go & rg350m but I don't know where to drop them on this platform, any ideas? Thanks
Love it and super comper x dremcast omg
Why on Elec351 i can't find "Core Downloader" in online update? (and no "show core updater" in menu item visibility)? please Russ can you respond me?
Hey this is great, thank you. Is there any way to get the shader under the overlay, or to fit the game screen only? There’s like a watermark visible to the left of my DMG bezel, right over the “power light.”
So I've gone through three of these devices and they all have just a little bit of light bleed on the left side (this isn't why I've gone through them, one had marks behind the screen, etc). Given that the default is to have a black border on the sides for things like the SNES (if you correct the aspect ratio), these overlays look like a great solution to insert a light border on the sides for people like myself that get annoyed by the bleeding (as minor as it is). I was wondering how this would be possible so great video.
How do i udo this to use the built in overlays with AmberELEC?
So im running stock firmware(What came with the system) I dont have this bios file on my external SD card. Am i supposed to create it? if so, which folder?
I wish you could do a video about scraping for this version. I have over 2000 games, but either the 351elec restarts after a few seconds or it doesn't change anything on the list. Thank you for all your videos!
Scraping seems to work best in the off hours. I scrape my daily limit at 7:00 am when I first wake up as I'm in the same time zone as the servers in France.
great video as always! I've been struggling to get specific overlays to save with specific games, the game override option doesn't seem to stick for me. i wonder if i have some sort of global override that's counteracting it. It's a shame as I've downloaded all the super gameboy borders so i'd like to set them to each game specifically.
I have the same problem. Some settings save, some don't. I love the customisability of RetroArch but changing some settings in EmulationStation, some in RetroArch and in six different ways doesn't make it easier.
Does anyone know how to get the vibration function working for the 351v with original firmware?
Hi, love your videos, just noticed though when I go to retroarch online updater I only have update cheats and update databases (latest version of 351elec). Howcome?
Hello, Can you please make a video as a guide for the mame roms which doesnt work on RG351P retroarch?
as an example I have Xaind sleena which work perfectly on Mame(PC) but generat load error ( blue screen on RG351P
Thank you
Hi guys,
Do you know if is there some option I can save all these settings per core ? Running gameboy games, I change the colorization to internal, LCD ghosting, Shader parameters/Brighten LCD to 6. I apply these settings and run the games, save the current config, but I need to set all of this again when I close the game.
Maybe you can help me here, but I have trouble getting the GBC one to work. It's enabled, in the correct folder, but does not load... Using 351ELEC and they are all in the bezels folder, which I selected.
I’ve watched almost all of your videos and am really enjoying my RG351P!
I’m having trouble with overlays in 351Elec...
I set the GBC overlay from your guide and set the LCD3x shader. I accidentally set the GBC overlay for ALL cores. I couldn’t remove this, so I factory reset. Now, the GBC overlay is still applied, but shows up as black. When I switch to a different overlay, it still shows as black. The opacity is at 100.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this? Or...which config file to delete to fully reset this?
Thanks again for all your great videos!
Edit: The overlay does show up for a brief second when I put the system to sleep, and when it wakes back up. Has this ever happened to you? Thanks!
Edit 2: For anyone else having this problem, I missed this part of the guide...
“If the overlay is not appearing, go into Quick Menu > On-Screen Overlays > Hide Overlay when Gamepad is Connected > OFF”
It’s working now!! :)
Thanks for content. Is it somehow possible to play java j2me old mobile phone games on a rg351 devices? thanks 😊
Mom: Go outside!!!
Son: Returns in police custody.
Son: Your fault mom. 🙄
i am getting error saving shader preset. what did i do wrong?
Retro games corp:
Awesome videos and hope to see more on the 351p! I have few requests!
How to add games and if they need bios as ive added cps1,2,3 but games never work., then looking to ad if they work on system Sega CD, Sega 32X, more Arcade, Dreamcast, and cheats.
I'm very new to how all this works
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Sir, I've watched most of your videos and it convinced me to buy a rg351p. I have a question that I hope you can assist me. I have a rgb20 running arkos. In emulation station there's an option in a game which I can edit meta data, and I can choose the emulator to use either default, retroarch and retroarch32. But in arkos in rg351 it's stuck in default. I hope you can do a tutorial for it because it's really handy specially in mame games. Lots of thanks
Even though the original Game Gear used an LCD screen it was not square pixel. The original Game Gear screen was 66mm x 50mm which is 4:3 aspect ratio. The authentic way to play Game Gear is without integer scaling and using a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Gameboy used a square pixel LCD, so using integer scaling for Gameboy is true.
Hi dear Russ I try to configure gamegear overlay as you suggested, following video step by step, but something goes wrong game play screen is little respect aspect ratio I choose (1:1 par) and it’s happen when I turn on integer scale.. could you help me please?
Following same instructions for game boy no problems...
Problem solved... it happen with roms that came with RG351p. I tried with another and works great.
Hello i installed emuelec 2.0 and in retroarch menu i dont have the override section to save the overlay. Do you know why ? Thanks
You’ll need to make the overrides visible. There are instructions on how to do that in the guide, it’s closer to the beginning of the guide.
How do you transfer memory on ps1/4 disk games like final fantasy 7 or xeno
Hi. Do you have a video on how to add bezels/overlays for the RGB10 Max? I've downloaded the bezel project but can't seem to get it to work.
Hi, I don't have a video on it. If you're using EmuELEC, then the bezel project should work, but you'll want to refer to the bezel project's wiki/GitHub for instructions. Long story short, your ROMs need to match the "no intro" romset naming convention in order to work.
Running 351elec and I can't seem to get the shader brightness to save. I save the content directory, exit retroarch and when I start another game the brightness is at 4.0
Very late reply, I know, but that's because the shader settings are NOT saved on the content directory override, it's saved on the shader preset profile, found within the shaders menu, not the overrides menu.
Retroarch can be confusing like that.
Would the same settings apply for the Retroid Pocket 2?
that's really wierd my folder overrides settings for color correction doesn't work on any game, the setting with the shaders and custom border works well, except color pallete overlay hmmm
I have a question how do you speed the game I’m having trouble I need help for my Pokémon game ?
I can not save colorization settings between GB and GBC ! I make the changes in GB (Special 1 colorization). Then I go to Overrides > Save Content Directory Overrides and then Quit RetroArch option in the Main Menu. When I move to GBC the Special 1 colorization is there ! Same thing happens with LCD Ghosting. Any solution ?
Has anyone been able to get Amiga to load up with an HDF hard disk image? With the image I use on the MiSTer it just causes both the 32 and 64bit version of retroarch to force close. Also the UAE4ARM emu that was added to the newest 351elec update doesn't seem to be working.
I like making full use of the screen and stretching doesnt bother me since I grew up with Pokemon R/B/Y connected to my N64 much of the time. Do the games come pre-stretched with the system? If so I am good. I am eyeballing this system atm like crazy. It fits most of my overall criteria. One of my favorite systems is the GBA so in that respect this should be a great handheld for me.
I'm using 351 elec firmware and I don't see an override option in my menu
Can we do it on emuelec
My Rg351m held these configurations for a week. Now they won’t stay and when I try to save the configuration it tells me it failed to save the configuration.
This is great. The RG351P is a great quality handheld. But would this guide work for the Odroid Go Super as well (Batocera)? Any chance of a video guide for it?
Everything but the bezels part will be the same. It has different dimensions so these particular bezels won’t work!
Update shaders option isn't available for me and I've confirmed I'm online... Ideas?
Does anyone know how to make the PSX games full screen? Am I missing something? I’ve looked everywhere but can’t seem to make it so the core fills up the screen. I still have black bars on the sides AND top. I’m using the most recent version of ArkOS. HEELLLLPPPP 🙂
Your guides are awesome! One quick question. Is there an easy way to duplicate the SD card to another one? I have two kids and it would be amazing to only have to work on configuring one card make it perfect and then just duplicated. Thanks in advance.
Hi, yep you can just backup the SD card image using an app like Win32 Disk Imager or Balena Etcher, then write it onto a new SD card. For best results do it on the same size card.
@@RetroGameCorps Thank you again!
i have some light bleed on the side of my rg351p screen is that normal? its not horrible but noticeable
Yeah unfortunately it’s pretty common with the RG351P.
I'm using 351Elec and I can't seem to find a way to save video settings for one directory or core at a time. I don't seem to have an option in retroarch for overrides. What am I missing?
Check out the written guide, I walk you through all the quirks of 351ELEC. Long story short, the RA settings have mostly been moved to the EmulationStation menu and so the ES settings will override whatever you do in RA. Check out the guide!
@@RetroGameCorps thanks, I was afraid that was going to be the answer. Lol
I can just not get this to save, keeps reverting back to 4.0 for brightness. Using 351ELEC pinepple version. Any ideas?
If you want to adjust the shader, you have to do it in RetroArch. Open up the game, then press SELECT + X to open the Quick Menu, then go to Shaders > Shader Parameters and adjust the scanlines or LCD to your tastes. For example, I like to use the lcd3x shader with a shader brightness of 6.0 instead of the standard 4.0 - this gives a very subtle grid effect.
To set it as default, go to Shaders > Save > Save Content Directory Preset.
