Anbernic has released the new update for the RG35xx H on 3-30-2024 so I updated the links in the description. The process is exactly the same. Any questions feel free to ask and I'll answer as quickly as I can.
Really well done tutorial! But my god, is that your actual desktop wallpaper!? That would drive me nuts! I can't stand moving things on my screen, way too distracting :S
🫡 General Dweeb I’m honored you stopped by my friend. Thank you for the kind words. Yes that’s my wallpaper. I love moving wallpapers but I am now thinking I should not use them during tutorials. I don’t want others to be distracted and I hadn’t thought of that.
Thanks for this! I too like Stock on the H because of Vertical Arcade Mode, and it's nice to hear someone else praising it. Playing the classic shooters in the way they're intended is aces. The only thing missing for me in Stock is ColecoVision emulation. I hope Anbernic is reading this so they can add it. Batocera is slick, but until they have a dedicated Vertical Arcade option, I plan to stick with stock. And for those interested, Stock is lacking a Sega32x folder, but if you rename the suffix as .smd, they will play from the MD (MegaDrive) folder. I look forward to your next video. And just to confirm, the new March Plus OS will not work in the H?
Got Batocera V40 on my RG35XX+ and mine drains about 1.3% of battery an hour when completely off. Much better than empty over night, but still a little bit more than id like. But Batocera is deffo not that much tinkering for me, and I can recommend at least to check it out.
I recommend users check out all CFW and find what suits them for sure. Like I said Batocera will most likely be my go to after everything is ironed out. I just didn’t like the battery drain which was basically what made me come back to stock for now.
@2loudtech of course! 😂 thank you for real tho. This rg35xx plus is astoundingly fast and smooth with the new cards. Did sandvik extremes and damn! Also just bought an H also because why not 😂
Yea I can see how that's a bummer for those like yourself that play those consoles. I don't really frequent those so I hadn't noticed. What games do you recommend I try on or Amiga or Dos?
I see you're like me, you have a Steam Deck but you still like this little booger. I have the Plus, not the H, but it's just something about the form factor that just feels right. Plus I feel more comfortable carrying this around. I'm not as worried about damage or other loss, since this thing was very inexpensive and my Steam Deck with all the things I've done to it is worth at least $700. And this is all-around easier to pick up and play for quick sessions, it doesn't feel like an ordeal to get going. I have used Batocera before, on the Steam Deck actually, and it has a lot going for it, but I'm like you and want to keep this device as simple as possible. So thanks for the guide on how to update stock firmware. They have an even newer version as of my comment, from 04/09/2024.
Actually I don’t have the Steam Deck anymore I switched it up and picked up a Legion Go but yes I still use these devices. Like you said they are easy to travel with and lot less concerning when it comes to breaking or losing then our bigger more expensive devices. I love retro games and with ports coming to more and more softwares we are even starting to experience a little bit of pc games on these little things. It’s a great time to be alive. Thank you for your comment and I look forward to seeing you around my friend. ✌️
Hi my friend the entire video is based around a one sd card setup. Only the part time stamped 15:50 is for 2 card setup. If you need additional help I would not mind giving you some assistance 1 on 1 in our discord. discord.gg/dE3yjukAb3
Is it possible to expand the OS partition when flashing the 16GB image to a 64GB card? I tried using both Windows disk manager and MiniTool Partition Wizard but was not able to for the life of me! This leaves me with 45GB of unallocated space on my single card. 😅
You assign a drive letter to the unallocated space using mini partition wizard. At that point you should be able to add your games. Sorry about the delay. I don’t know how I missed this comment.
Thank you brother. Yea like I said in the video to each is own. I don’t care for minimalist setups on these devices but I know there are some that will. That’s ok. I recommend people give all the CFW’s a try and figure out what they like. 👍 muOS has some features that I like but Batocera is the CFW I look forward to most.
Could you do a guide for installing the stock os for this model using a Mac? I’m having trouble getting mine installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I wish someone would do a tutorial for formatting and flashing for MAC users . I got my plus two days ago and haven’t even used it because I don’t know how to install stock os onto mac without my sd card being destroyed
Quick question so my anbernic wouldn't go past the main screen i got it to turn on fully and it deleted all of my games any ideas on what i can do i do not have access to a computer
my xx pkus came last day i had hard time trying to switch on, i had already a samsung flashed with batocera and another with the stock os, but when i inserted the newer sds the console didnt start and when i sitcht to the stock sd it start but after several tries, then i started to play, and some games went stucked, the only that worked nice was dreamcast and psp, then i take off the sd card to add newer games, but now the console is complete dead, only the charguin led shows on, but it doesnt start up, i read some recomendations like unplugg the baterry and wait, then try again but nothing seems to work, any advice before i return it back? or i get a geniune lemon unit?
Hey sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I suggest 2 cards because then you avoid having to back up your saves and roms when updating your os. If you have a 2 card setup your saves and roms go on the second sd while your is is on the first.
Hey man followed this to a t formatted my card in ex fat and after flashing the updated os onto i cant access the device from my pc only the partition wizard
What sd cards would you recomend for the rg35xxh was trying to buy them then follow your vid didnt see where you mention the sd cards for the rg35xxh please and ty !!!
I have some recommendation cards linked in the description my friend. But top cards would be Samsung and Sandisk. Sorry for the delay getting back to you. ✌
i just want to clarify since two of them no files like new. Once you download the firmware there is already a preloaded games that comes with it? or no?
My friend unfortunately I can not but I will look into it. The problem I see is writing the firmware image to the micro sd card. Now you have me wondering 🤔 I will look into this tomorrow.
hello can you please make a tutorial using this updated stock os: RG35XXH-EN-240418 , I cant seem to flash this since there is no img file that wil be used on Ruffus. pls helpppp
Hi Bro thank you so much fir explaining it so well. Your tutorials was perfect and Your buddy Javi is great too. Keep up the awesome work👍🏼Q? The Batocera v40 it doesnt work right the v39 i have works much better. Can you do a video in that? Thanks Mate😃
I can try it for you. I don’t personally use bezels with drastic as I like to flip between screens that are taking up the entirety of the screen. But I will try tomorrow.
I have a question please, can i copy all the games from the Sd card that comes the device into my new braded sd card? and also how can I make the art boox? because in my new sd card i have my rom games but i don't have the image... the box does anybody know please? thanks very much
yes you can copy your games from the card that comes with the device in to the new sd card. In each folder for each system (i.e PS folder for playstation1) there should be a "Imgs" folder you need to copy this over to the new folder for the images to show up
Thank you for the detailed guide friend! I bought 128+64GB version, I know that stock SD cards with coming from the box are bad so I bought a new Kingston one and flashed into it with your guide. My question is, can I use my old out of the box TF2 card now with my new card or do I have to update it too?
So you say anbernic software comes with all the bios we're gonna need? So that means even if we download the 16gb version we get all the bios we're gonna need? So the only difference with the 16gb and the 64gb is the roms? 16gb comes with out roms and 64gb comes with the roms? TIA. Just wanted to be clear. I'm looking to have a 2 card set up down the line.
That is correct 16gb has all the bios you need minus roms. I suggest a 2 card setup because if you want to update your firmware in the future you don’t have to worry about your roms or saves. ✌️
man please help me i bought a rg35xx plus, this is my first time with this handheld I'm very new. whats the best cfw for this console? which should I Install and also I bought a micro sd 128gb.. is that ok? so need to replace the pre installed sd card for the new one? and how to add roms thanks bro please let me know. i suscribed
Hello my friend. Yes the 128gb sd card is great as long as it’s a good brand. Just follow the instructions in the video but the part about adding roms is at 16:37 if you need additional help it would be much easier to assist you on our discord where I can speak to you directly discord.gg/dE3yjukAb3
I've just got my RG35XX-H and I'm about to starting doing stuff. Quick question, EVERY time I do update the firmware I also have to move out roms & saves, and then move in the sd after flashing firmware?...
If you are moving between different update on stock and using a 2 sd card setup you should be able to use the second card with your roms and saves and avoid transferring the files. If you are moving between different os’s you will have to transfer the files most likely depending on the filing system type.
Yea if I remember you’ll have more than 1 saves folders if you’ve been playing different games on different systems. I just highlighted all the saves folders and copied them to a folder on my computer and after I was all done with doing everything. I deleted to newly appeared saves folder and copied back all my saves folders that I had. Games loaded up perfectly.
1 more thing I learned to late, but if you don't make an actual save state (using the small button on the top of the device) there won't be any files to transfer over when you copy your saves. So load your game data and make a save state. It'll show it saving on the bottom left of the screen when it does it. If you don't, your data saves to ?system memory or ram? or something but basically theirs no hard file, so it gets erased when you put a new card in or overwrite the old one. That's how I lost everything the first time.
Hello. First of all, I'd like to thank you for this video. This helped me a lot. But i wanna ask you if you or someone here had a little problems with the analogs ? For some reason, when i play fps games, the right analog is inverted. When i put up, the camera in the game goes down and when i put down, the camera goes up.
Thank you beautiful video !! I'm new in this world and i have just (pbly a stupid ) question, if we follow the 2 sd setup , will we have all the stock roms on the new sd? Thank youu
Man I’m 65 years old and I do have a laptop with win 10. But I am screwed. 😂 I got a rg35xxplus and want to be able to put Mario brothers games on it. I Love Mario and Luigi from back in the 80s when my kids were growing up but I am just sooo confused on what to do to get there. Nothing fancy. Help! I have a new 64g micro sd arriving today. Not sure why. Glad I found you 🤞🏻🤞🏻nobody seems to reply to my I guess dumb questions. Ty in advance sir
Hey my friend. I’m glad you found me as well. The best part of these devices is reliving the past. Mario’s are definitely some of my favorite games. When your 64gb arrives today you will just open the package and take the sd card, put it into your card reader plugged into your laptop. At that’s point you will open up UA-cam and head to my channel. Find this video and open the description. Click on the link for the rg35xx plus firmware and download it. I recommend the 16gb (does not come with games) but if you prefer the 64gb ( comes with games) then download that. Be advised the 64gb sometimes requires users to have a paid Mega account which is total b.s. but game roms are easy to find online if you get the 16gb. Follow my guide and any specific questions you have along the way just let me know.
@@2LoudTech thank you so much. I will give it a shot as you say. It sounds like I should go 16gb. And I assume this will replace the og card that’s in slot1.
@@tonyboombotz Yes, that new card will have to go into slot 1. Best of luck! Also, remember, the 16 GB file will not include any games, so you will have to source your own. But those are a google search away.
@@2LoudTech well i now know i know nothing about computers. i spent 3 1/2 hours and still nothing new card still says empty DKWTD. ty maybe you may have more advice, i have no idea how to put downloads on my card, idk. very frustrated, a lot of things mechanical i can do well in life, im lost here. awfuln feeling good night guys. thanks again. i wont quit
Hey ! After putting my new blank TF2 card in the device and reboot, my computer does not recognize it anymore. What's the reason ? Anyway thank you for this great video !
It may not have a drive letter assigned to it. If you leave it plugged into your computer and open Mini Tool partition wizard you should be able to assign a new drive letter to it. Hope this helps. ✌️
Mine keeps getting stuck on the boot screen it won't it won't load unless I reset it a few times and even then it's still doesn't work most of the time. I tried cloning the original SD card that it came with and it didnt work , it won't even boot up or power on with the new SD card after I transferred everything off the stock SD card to the new one. I've tried all these steps including your video and I still can't get it to turn on and boot up so I'm going to return it and hopefully the next one I get doesn't give me the same issue
Best is to not use anything from the stock SD card. Use a fresh SD card, flash the latest stock OS. I'm using 2 cards right now, 1 for OS, 1 for Roms. Runs well on my device now.
Before formatting the SD 1 card, I did a backup , I was wondering if there is a way to import again your saves and favorites. Also .the game and the save of that game require to be on the same sd right? Thank you for the video!!
hello, very informative video. this was without any doubt the clearest and easiest explanation i could find on updating the os! my only question is, do the roms that come with the 64 gb firmware version download to the 2nd sd (tf2) when you first pop it in? i am waiting for this console to be shipped to me, and i do want to keep the extensive catalog of games it comes with because i want to find some "hidden gems." if the stock roms (tf1) transfer to my 2nd sd (tf2), will my save data forever be safe on the second one? i know the tf1 save files constantly will get wiped due to upcoming updates every so often, and i want to make sure the tf2 save files will be fine and not touched during updates. thank you.
Very good questions my friend. As for the 64gb os image it will come with games when you download it and those will be store on sd1 along side your os. As for the sd 2 that’s ships with the device it will be fine and still keep whatever games come on because when setting up sd one it will not be touch by the firmware. Now for the saves and save states I believe as long as you have an sd2 they will be housed there but I would like to test and make sure prior to giving you a definitive answer. If you please allow me a little time today to test and maybe comment tomorrow I will get back to you on that for sure. Thank you my friend and have a wonderful day. ✌️
Thanks for the useful tutorial. However, I used a 128 GB SDCard for a single card setup and I am left with 105 GB of unallocated space. The total usable size of the SD card has become 4.2 GB. Any idea where did I go wrong?
If you are using stock OS than you will have alot of unallocated space with which you cant do anything with. You can use stock MOD3 rom which will expand the full card and use the full space for your Roms
I have found a solution for my scenario. I simply created another drive from the unallocated space using MiniTool Partition Wizard. So basically when I insert my SD Card into the PC, I see 2 drives now. In the first drive the OS resides and I have kept the games and files in the second drive. Working perfectly!
@@JLinfamous9 As mentioned earlier, you can use MiniTool Partition software to set up a new drive from the unallocated space on your SD card, effectively giving you two drives. When you insert the SD card into your RG35XX+ device, it will automatically create new folders on the second drive. You can then reinsert the SD card into your PC and transfer your games to this second drive, allowing you to utilize the full capacity of the SD card.
Great video. I think this works for the plus too bc I think the plus and h use the same software and games I heard. I downloaded koriki too and like a moron accidentally flashed it to the original sd card and deleted my anbernic stock os. So I think maybe this will help fix it. I had downloaded a bunch of roms myself eventually but it was a huge hassle and headache especially being a first timer.
I have linked both versions one for the plus and one for the H in the video. About accidentally flashing to wrong SD, my friend I can not tell you how many times I have don’t that 😂. Thank you for your support I truly appreciate you. Also I love your UA-cam name. ✌️
Hey, great tutorial umm quick question when using the 2 card set up when you insert the blank card into the console does it have to be already formated to the fat 32 format?
@@2LoudTech cheers for this, I'm going to try it today, I assume that when you add ROMs to the 2nd card, the Roms will show up in the normal games list? Asif they are all together as one?
I know those anolog stick pack comes with 4 different models, spotted the Pokemon, Zelda & obviously the batman one but where's the Spiderman caps? Lol
Hi Bro thank you so much fir explaining it so well. Your tutorials was perfect and Your buddy Javi is great too. Keep up the awesome work👍🏼Q? The Batocera v40 it doesnt work right the v39 it works much better. Can you do a video in that? Thanks Mate😃
im dumb and new to this whole thing, but this video was extremely helpful and detailed. only problems im having now are when ever i load an n64 rom my buttons get all messed up with B becoming A in game and Y becoming B in game. also, how do you save if a game required a memory card on the n64?
Hey my friend. You’re not dumb, just new to this. First as far as the the memory card it save to the micro sd card to a space that imitates an N64 memory card. As far as the controls go you can reconfigure them. If you join our discord we can help get you squared away. discord.gg/jcswhpdCZx
Hi friend, congratulations on the content. I bought mine today and it still has to arrive but I have two questions if you can help me: 1) doesn't using 2 cards lose reading performance? and 2) does the stock OS already come with N64? I thank you very much
Hello my friend, I’m not sure I understand question 1. If you mean the card itself will perform worse then I’m not sure would affect gameplay or performance in any way. Question 2 I believe the 64 gb image has n64 games but I would have to get back to you in a few hours when I have my console in hand to give you a more accurate answer. Thank you ✌️
@@yoguichuknorrisrules You only need to expand the fat32(D:) partition, everything else can be left alone. Minitools Partition Wizard is a good program for this.
Yeah I tried batocera and it looks pretty with all those theme. But I got the same battery issue. And I'm really starting to think stock OS is not that bad.😂 Like you maybe I'll check it out when it's out of beta/lite.
When is video 2 coming out just got this device and it’s incredible. Absolutely bargain no faults at all. Going to follow your videos. Is there anyway of sending you n email? Want to ask something but not on here
Thanks for the kind words my friend. My email is in my channel description. Also have links to our discord community in the video description which you can use to directly communicate with me.
@@2LoudTech awesome thank you so much . My rg35xx plus in on the way from anbernic so I was hoping to get a start getting new as cards ready with the OS and Roms. This video is very helpful!

i just want to clarify since two of them no files like new. Once you download the firmware there is already a preloaded games that comes with it? or no?
The 64gb comes with games but the 16gb does not.
Do the analogs still work on the H after installing the plus firmware?
I would not install the plus software on the H. Just past the part that I show the plus I download, I show the H download.
Hey, is it possible for you to make tutorial for people who doesn't own pc/laptop? Im use android phone and im wandering how to setup my rg35xx+
My friend unfortunately I can not but I will look into it. The problem I see is writing the firmware image to the micro sd card. Now you have me wondering 🤔 I will look into this tomorrow.
Hi, I really like the Batman analogue stick pads. What size are the sticks themselves? Xbox series or joycon size? Which size should I be looking for?
Hey my friend you would look for joycon size.
hello can you please make a tutorial using this updated stock os: RG35XXH-EN-240418 , I cant seem to flash this since there is no img file that wil be used on Ruffus. pls helpppp
Hi Bro thank you so much fir explaining it so well. Your tutorials was perfect and Your buddy Javi is great too. Keep up the awesome work👍🏼Q? The Batocera v40 it doesnt work right the v39 i have works much better. Can you do a video in that? Thanks Mate😃
My stock os sd card will be 64gb so you think that should be exfat rather than fat32 correct?
Correct use exfat my friend. Sorry for the delay. ✌️
Would love a vid on tips and customisation for the stock OS
Noted!
Do you guys know if we can install bezels for Drastic on the Stock OS?
I can try it for you. I don’t personally use bezels with drastic as I like to flip between screens that are taking up the entirety of the screen. But I will try tomorrow.
Good Video man!
Glad you liked it!
Hey i did every thing you said but i dont have a config or a bios folder
So basically the 64GB Version includes the roms which come stock whereas the 16GB is only the updated firmware?
Thats correct my friend. 👍
i nearly wasted so much time on the 64GB file honestly
How can i do this process with a mac?
u rock bro
Thank you my friend you rock too. ✌️
I have a question please, can i copy all the games from the Sd card that comes the device into my new braded sd card?
and also how can I make the art boox? because in my new sd card i have my rom games but i don't have the image... the box
does anybody know please? thanks very much
yes you can copy your games from the card that comes with the device in to the new sd card. In each folder for each system (i.e PS folder for playstation1) there should be a "Imgs" folder you need to copy this over to the new folder for the images to show up
What he said ^
Thanks my friend
@@mohrasher ty
Thank you for the detailed guide friend! I bought 128+64GB version, I know that stock SD cards with coming from the box are bad so I bought a new Kingston one and flashed into it with your guide. My question is, can I use my old out of the box TF2 card now with my new card or do I have to update it too?
So you say anbernic software comes with all the bios we're gonna need? So that means even if we download the 16gb version we get all the bios we're gonna need? So the only difference with the 16gb and the 64gb is the roms? 16gb comes with out roms and 64gb comes with the roms? TIA. Just wanted to be clear. I'm looking to have a 2 card set up down the line.
That is correct 16gb has all the bios you need minus roms. I suggest a 2 card setup because if you want to update your firmware in the future you don’t have to worry about your roms or saves. ✌️
man please help me i bought a rg35xx plus, this is my first time with this handheld I'm very new. whats the best cfw for this console? which should I Install and also I bought a micro sd 128gb.. is that ok? so need to replace the pre installed sd card for the new one? and how to add roms
thanks bro please let me know. i suscribed
Hello my friend. Yes the 128gb sd card is great as long as it’s a good brand. Just follow the instructions in the video but the part about adding roms is at 16:37 if you need additional help it would be much easier to assist you on our discord where I can speak to you directly discord.gg/dE3yjukAb3
I've just got my RG35XX-H and I'm about to starting doing stuff. Quick question, EVERY time I do update the firmware I also have to move out roms & saves, and then move in the sd after flashing firmware?...
If you are moving between different update on stock and using a 2 sd card setup you should be able to use the second card with your roms and saves and avoid transferring the files. If you are moving between different os’s you will have to transfer the files most likely depending on the filing system type.
Yea if I remember you’ll have more than 1 saves folders if you’ve been playing different games on different systems. I just highlighted all the saves folders and copied them to a folder on my computer and after I was all done with doing everything. I deleted to newly appeared saves folder and copied back all my saves folders that I had. Games loaded up perfectly.
1 more thing I learned to late, but if you don't make an actual save state (using the small button on the top of the device) there won't be any files to transfer over when you copy your saves. So load your game data and make a save state. It'll show it saving on the bottom left of the screen when it does it. If you don't, your data saves to ?system memory or ram? or something but basically theirs no hard file, so it gets erased when you put a new card in or overwrite the old one. That's how I lost everything the first time.
0:57 Pull It Out Button 😂
You are wild for this. 😂
Hello. First of all, I'd like to thank you for this video. This helped me a lot. But i wanna ask you if you or someone here had a little problems with the analogs ? For some reason, when i play fps games, the right analog is inverted. When i put up, the camera in the game goes down and when i put down, the camera goes up.
No problem my friend. I have not had that issue but I do know that in some older titles that was the default. What games are you playing?
@@2LoudTech The original Rainbow Six and Medal of Honor
hmmm
So... If I have a 64GB SD Card, I choose exFat? Am I right?
Yes you are correct. ✌️
the H has wifi right? can we just update it over wifi?
Yes the H has WiFi but No Anbernic does not offer over the air updates.
Thank you beautiful video !! I'm new in this world and i have just (pbly a stupid ) question, if we follow the 2 sd setup , will we have all the stock roms on the new sd? Thank youu
Only if you download the 64gb build. The 16gb build is without roms.
Batocera works perfectly for me. The only thing I want it to do next is to have Kodi for MP3 and MP4 playback
hey i really like that animated Dragon Ball that you set it as your background wallpaper can you give me a link for the animated wallpapers please
It’s a program I bought from Steam called Wallpaper engine it only cost 3 bucks and gives you access to thousands of wallpapers.
Man I’m 65 years old and I do have a laptop with win 10. But I am screwed. 😂 I got a rg35xxplus and want to be able to put Mario brothers games on it. I Love Mario and Luigi from back in the 80s when my kids were growing up but I am just sooo confused on what to do to get there. Nothing fancy. Help! I have a new 64g micro sd arriving today. Not sure why. Glad I found you 🤞🏻🤞🏻nobody seems to reply to my I guess dumb questions. Ty in advance sir
Hey my friend. I’m glad you found me as well. The best part of these devices is reliving the past. Mario’s are definitely some of my favorite games. When your 64gb arrives today you will just open the package and take the sd card, put it into your card reader plugged into your laptop. At that’s point you will open up UA-cam and head to my channel. Find this video and open the description. Click on the link for the rg35xx plus firmware and download it. I recommend the 16gb (does not come with games) but if you prefer the 64gb ( comes with games) then download that. Be advised the 64gb sometimes requires users to have a paid Mega account which is total b.s. but game roms are easy to find online if you get the 16gb. Follow my guide and any specific questions you have along the way just let me know.
@@2LoudTech thank you so much. I will give it a shot as you say. It sounds like I should go 16gb. And I assume this will replace the og card that’s in slot1.
@@tonyboombotz Yes, that new card will have to go into slot 1. Best of luck! Also, remember, the 16 GB file will not include any games, so you will have to source your own. But those are a google search away.
@@socrates1000 oh thank you sir. Just on my way home and will try 🤞🏻
@@2LoudTech well i now know i know nothing about computers. i spent 3 1/2 hours and still nothing new card still says empty DKWTD. ty maybe you may have more advice, i have no idea how to put downloads on my card, idk. very frustrated, a lot of things mechanical i can do well in life, im lost here. awfuln feeling good night guys. thanks again. i wont quit
Hey ! After putting my new blank TF2 card in the device and reboot, my computer does not recognize it anymore. What's the reason ?
Anyway thank you for this great video !
It may not have a drive letter assigned to it. If you leave it plugged into your computer and open Mini Tool partition wizard you should be able to assign a new drive letter to it. Hope this helps. ✌️
Mine keeps getting stuck on the boot screen it won't it won't load unless I reset it a few times and even then it's still doesn't work most of the time. I tried cloning the original SD card that it came with and it didnt work , it won't even boot up or power on with the new SD card after I transferred everything off the stock SD card to the new one. I've tried all these steps including your video and I still can't get it to turn on and boot up so I'm going to return it and hopefully the next one I get doesn't give me the same issue
Best is to not use anything from the stock SD card. Use a fresh SD card, flash the latest stock OS. I'm using 2 cards right now, 1 for OS, 1 for Roms. Runs well on my device now.
Can i use a 128gb sd card
Before formatting the SD 1 card, I did a backup , I was wondering if there is a way to import again your saves and favorites. Also .the game and the save of that game require to be on the same sd right? Thank you for the video!!
Yes bur I highly advise against reusing the factory sd card.
@@2LoudTech sure. But do you know the location of the favorites?
hello, very informative video. this was without any doubt the clearest and easiest explanation i could find on updating the os! my only question is, do the roms that come with the 64 gb firmware version download to the 2nd sd (tf2) when you first pop it in? i am waiting for this console to be shipped to me, and i do want to keep the extensive catalog of games it comes with because i want to find some "hidden gems." if the stock roms (tf1) transfer to my 2nd sd (tf2), will my save data forever be safe on the second one? i know the tf1 save files constantly will get wiped due to upcoming updates every so often, and i want to make sure the tf2 save files will be fine and not touched during updates. thank you.
Very good questions my friend. As for the 64gb os image it will come with games when you download it and those will be store on sd1 along side your os. As for the sd 2 that’s ships with the device it will be fine and still keep whatever games come on because when setting up sd one it will not be touch by the firmware. Now for the saves and save states I believe as long as you have an sd2 they will be housed there but I would like to test and make sure prior to giving you a definitive answer. If you please allow me a little time today to test and maybe comment tomorrow I will get back to you on that for sure. Thank you my friend and have a wonderful day. ✌️
@@2LoudTech thank you for the quick reply and upcoming test run! i really appreciate it.
Thanks for the useful tutorial.
However, I used a 128 GB SDCard for a single card setup and I am left with 105 GB of unallocated space.
The total usable size of the SD card has become 4.2 GB.
Any idea where did I go wrong?
I am having the same problem...
If you are using stock OS than you will have alot of unallocated space with which you cant do anything with. You can use stock MOD3 rom which will expand the full card and use the full space for your Roms
I have found a solution for my scenario. I simply created another drive from the unallocated space using MiniTool Partition Wizard. So basically when I insert my SD Card into the PC, I see 2 drives now. In the first drive the OS resides and I have kept the games and files in the second drive. Working perfectly!
@@pushpalroy406how did you do this?
I am using a 1 card setup (64GB card) and have 45GB unallocated). New to all of this!
@@JLinfamous9 As mentioned earlier, you can use MiniTool Partition software to set up a new drive from the unallocated space on your SD card, effectively giving you two drives. When you insert the SD card into your RG35XX+ device, it will automatically create new folders on the second drive. You can then reinsert the SD card into your PC and transfer your games to this second drive, allowing you to utilize the full capacity of the SD card.
Are the joy stick rubbers fron the switch as want to get some
Joycon joystick covers fit perfectly. 👍
@@2LoudTech thanks I'll check them out
Great video. I think this works for the plus too bc I think the plus and h use the same software and games I heard.
I downloaded koriki too and like a moron accidentally flashed it to the original sd card and deleted my anbernic stock os. So I think maybe this will help fix it.
I had downloaded a bunch of roms myself eventually but it was a huge hassle and headache especially being a first timer.
I have linked both versions one for the plus and one for the H in the video. About accidentally flashing to wrong SD, my friend I can not tell you how many times I have don’t that 😂. Thank you for your support I truly appreciate you. Also I love your UA-cam name. ✌️
thanks. update i made a yt video 3 ways to recover the anberic os if any1 needs help@@2LoudTech
Theirs 2 downloads, the bigger 64gb one will have all the original games on it again. Or it's supposed to at least.
Hey, great tutorial umm quick question when using the 2 card set up when you insert the blank card into the console does it have to be already formated to the fat 32 format?
If it’s a brand new card you can just insert it and the os will set it up for you.
@@2LoudTech cheers for this, I'm going to try it today, I assume that when you add ROMs to the 2nd card, the Roms will show up in the normal games list? Asif they are all together as one?
I know those anolog stick pack comes with 4 different models, spotted the Pokemon, Zelda & obviously the batman one but where's the Spiderman caps? Lol
Are you asking where mine are?
Hello! Thank you so much for your videos. I have a question. What is better to play n64 games? Stock OS or a CFW ? Tahnk you in advance!
One thing is that the Stock OS has better psp and dreamcast performances compared to something like Batocera.
@@solastro5595 but for n64 games? What is the performance difference? Is worth it install Batocera for this n64 plataform?

im dumb and new to this whole thing, but this video was extremely helpful and detailed. only problems im having now are when ever i load an n64 rom my buttons get all messed up with B becoming A in game and Y becoming B in game. also, how do you save if a game required a memory card on the n64?
Hey my friend. You’re not dumb, just new to this. First as far as the the memory card it save to the micro sd card to a space that imitates an N64 memory card. As far as the controls go you can reconfigure them. If you join our discord we can help get you squared away. discord.gg/jcswhpdCZx
Hi friend, congratulations on the content. I bought mine today and it still has to arrive but I have two questions if you can help me: 1) doesn't using 2 cards lose reading performance? and 2) does the stock OS already come with N64? I thank you very much
Hello my friend, I’m not sure I understand question 1. If you mean the card itself will perform worse then I’m not sure would affect gameplay or performance in any way. Question 2 I believe the 64 gb image has n64 games but I would have to get back to you in a few hours when I have my console in hand to give you a more accurate answer. Thank you ✌️
@@2LoudTech ok friend thanks. I wait for your information about N64!
Doesn't Rufus make the same job as MiniTool Partitation Wizard or is MtPW better for formatting? Anyway great video👍
