    I got mine a few weeks ago. It came with a corrupted sd card out of the box. It would not boot passed the Anbernic logo. After buying a new sandisk 64 gig sd card and flashing it with the updated Anbernic firmware, it works like a champ. I’m hoping that the new Garlic OS that Black Seraph is working on for this particular device will solve a lot of the issues with PSP and Dreamcast. It he does hit a homerun with his custom firmware this could end up being the handheld of 2024 just like the Miyoo Mini Plus was for 2023. I can’t wait to find out. By the way, Koriki Batocera Lite is a rough ride. It’s not ready yet. I tried the Beta version and didn’t like it.

      Sorry about the corrupted card. That really is a problem. I kind of wish they’djust charge $5 more and give us a good card from the beginning. Anyway, I totally agree with you. The custom firmware scene isn’t quite ready yet, but I’m really hopeful GarlicOS will become something amazing.

As for the remakes, if it's true Crazy Taxi has turned into a live service game it feels like a massive disappointment and I'm worried about the rest also becoming some cheap cash in attempt.

      I read that the Jet Set Radio Future sequel will have Fortnite elements. So it's looking a little more bleak as it goes along. I feel like these companies set themselves up for failure because they try to eat into the market of these popular modern love service games only to find out that there's not enough people to go around to support at the level they want so they drop the service and write it off as a failure. I just hope they make a course correction before it's too late to turn it around

    • @BoKnowsGaming
      @BoKnowsGaming  10 місяців тому +1

      Sometimes those cheap, stock sd cards go bad. It’s best to start with a new name brand one. It’s good that you have the ROMs you want! A lot of people update the card or install a custom OS and then ask where their ROMs went. If you have a fresh card you can go here and download the latest firmware from Anbernic. win.anbernic.com/download/360.html
      The emulators are built in. Just unzip the .img file and use a program called balena etcher to flash it to your microSD card. Then put it in your handheld and make sure it boots. Then put it back in your computer and add your ROMs back into the roms folder. Hope that helps!

  • @BriansActionFigureReviews
    @BriansActionFigureReviews 7 місяців тому +1

    Probably a stupid question if the SD that comes with it fails , once you flash a new card do you have to then go and find the games yourself again or does the flash give you the games on your new card sorry if I worded that wrong

    • @BoKnowsGaming
      @BoKnowsGaming  7 місяців тому +2

      That's not a stupid question at all. Honestly, more people need to be asking that question BEFORE they begin tinkering with their device. The best thing you can do when you get one of these is immediately take the card out, put it in your computer, and back up the Roms folder that all the games are stored in. Then, leave the card that came with it as it is so you just have it as a precautionary back up. Buy a new, name brand card and flash the firmware you want to use to it. Copy the Roms folder from your computer to the new card. When you flash a new card there will be no games. Just the firmware/OS. So it's important that you back up your Roms/games first before you do anything else.

Idk. 🤷‍♂️ The RGB30 has been my EDC device for a few months now, but this definitely gave it a run for its money.
