Yes! Keep it simple! I go to games to escape stress and enjoy myself, and nothing infuriates me when I have to tinker when I'm not in the mood to tinker. I might have to wait and find out if some of the upcoming "flip format" handhelds are going to be supported by this bad boy. That would for real be the dream device combo for me.
Thanks for this. I just ordered a rg35xx plus specifically for playing Gameboy and Gameboy color. I might play some NES or SNES on it but less so any of the other emulators because I have other devices I'm already happy with for those. This video convinced me to use Min UI for the simplicity and custom boot screen. I keep seeing people mention a lack of settings but you just showed that all the things you really need are in here and the entire interface is just so clean and snappy. I can't wait to get this set up. The only feature I would have liked additional would be some kind of leaderboard/RetroAchievments integration. It's something I could live without but I feel like this OS actually would work well with something like that.
New Sub, Dryden, Mich. I just picked up 4 of these for my Daughters for Christmas, I am having a Hell of a time getting 128 gig sd cards working, This is Clean, but my younger 2 would really benefit from the Artwork. I personally want this for myself. Well Done!
It really is a breath of fresh air not having to deal with retroarch. As much as I miss some features. Like Overlays and Video Filters. The simplicity is so nice.
@Runslik3Wind The sped up audio sounds crazy to me. I wouldnt have fast forward on for the whole game just parts that are more repetitive and take long.
i have rg35xx may as well gonna install this on mine. one thing i would like to know, i noticed on ur description it said that battery indicator is inaccurate. does it mean that it cant show how many % in setting? do i have to plug it in when battery bar goes low and turn red?
I personally dont like the sound being really fast so i like it muted but i do understand some people want to hear the sound and i dont think there is a setting to adjust that.
Hey there, great video! Got an RG35XX and you convinced me to go with MinUI. I'd like to customize it a little like you did, though. How did you get the custom boot logo and charging animation?
Looks like a copy/mimic of the analog pocket OS. Coming from the RG 351V, I was disappointed to see that the XX doesn’t allow AmberElecOS. This seems like a good option for those who don’t want GarlicOS.
I actually have a rg351v and as much as I like the all the features of arkos I wish it had this device's shutdown quick resume features. To me, that's what really holds this handheld so good and pick up and play.
Yeah Wifi is really nice to have. OTA updates, netplay, retro achievements, file transfers, scraping box art. Yeah but for people who just want to play this is fine.
@godvonorim Ide like to see a fork of Min UI that has an option to view just the boxart and the name of the game instead of the gameslist kinda like how the super pocket is. I think its still really minimal and people would enjoy it
@@godvonorim True. Now I'm looking for RG35XX Plus. More power, bigger and replaceable battery, WiFi and better Ergonomics. Like an Analogue pocket without fpga😀
Thanks for sharing. Stock actually has alot going for it. Its the only os with native search. Its got favorites. Hdmi works good. Its fairly simple. You get a gamepad tester. Its perfectly usable and I can see why people like it.
I didn't remove any comments. I've heard of Fin Ui but haven't tried it myself. Im not sure it adds much besides search. I wish someone added some of the stuff people asked for. Like search, favorites, a gamepad tester, cheats, maybe like 5 overlays and 5 filters, and maybe a small options menu on the main menu. Then this OS would be perfect
Backlight gets low enough for me. Idkno if that answers your question but you can always check out my review of this handheld when you can see me lower it all the way. Timestamp for that video is 10:16 where I adjust brightness
No gyro unfortunately theres isnt but people have made rom patches to change gyro controls to normal d pad controls. Not the same unfortunately but its there.
Garlic lacks alot of things from stock. Gamepad test, a settings menu, search, ease of use with menu button, changing date and time, changing background and icons easily, language, sleep.
GarlicOS gets enough praise. Not every user has the same experience. Im not the only person to have negative experiences. All I wanted was for it to work, and it does not. Its buggy. It crashes right off a fresh install, doing everything right. Not disrespect
@@fanaticistIn the read me there are instructions on how to do it. From the MINUI Readme.txt file: For multi-disc games, put all the files for all the discs in a single folder and create an m3u file (just a text file containing the relative path to each disc's cue file on a separate line) with the same name as the folder. Instead of showing the entire messy contents of the folder, MinUI will launch the appropriate cue file, eg. For a Policenauts folder structured like this: Policenauts (English v1.0)/ Policenauts (English v1.0).m3u Policenauts (Japan) (Disc 1).bin Policenauts (Japan) (Disc 1).cue Policenauts (Japan) (Disc 2).bin Policenauts (Japan) (Disc 2).cue The m3u file would contain just: Policenauts (Japan) (Disc 1).cue Policenauts (Japan) (Disc 2).cue M3U is text file first and then you just have to change the extension so it converts into m3u Hope this helps 🙏
@@fanaticist yes I saw the video , I heard what he said I just couldn't make the m3u file properly, my file types are CHD I don't know if that's why it's the problem
@@JaviPlayRetrothank you so much for taking your time to reply man, I will try following those steps later on when I get home, thanks man , keep doing what your doing! I also agreed with you in the aspect that garlic os is a lil bit buggy sadly
Great question. Yes its does support controllers. You will need a special cable those. Its an otg usb c to female usb a. Ideally one with multiple inputs for your controller. I will be making a video soon about this and the hdmi functionality basically how to consolize this thing.
@AlexanderLindnerAlex0815 I must be doing something wrong. I took both the files 001 and 002 and opened them with 7 zip and flashed them to the card. Is there something im missing?
@@JaviPlayRetro dont think so i do the Same with the Stock Flashcard that came with the rg35xx and had No Problems with garlicOS. I use the copyoverstock Files

As far as I know only up to 64gb cards work unless the new updates improve on this
@@DeathByALAN I Cloned the stock Junk 64gig cards onto 128gig cards that I purchased.
They all seem to be working fine.
I did as a matter of fact love that boot logo!
Looks like a solid UI, I agree it's probably an improvement for most. People. Retroarch is A LOT

@@JaviPlayRetro playing a hundred hour rpg sped up sounds great, but why would you want to play it muted the whole time?
@Runslik3Wind The sped up audio sounds crazy to me. I wouldnt have fast forward on for the whole game just parts that are more repetitive and take long.
I love minui it’s my go to for any device that doesn’t have onion os

Waiting for the official release of minUI on the RG35XX+
I love this os, but unfortunately when you fast forward a game it mutes the sound. If they ever fix it I would swap to this OS for sure.
I personally dont like the sound being really fast so i like it muted but i do understand some people want to hear the sound and i dont think there is a setting to adjust that.
Hey there, great video! Got an RG35XX and you convinced me to go with MinUI. I'd like to customize it a little like you did, though. How did you get the custom boot logo and charging animation?
Would I need GarlicOS to do it? Can I just do it through MinUI?
Hey Im going to make a starter guide just for you

@@JaviPlayRetro yes. I would love a dedicated device just for pick up and play with a very limited library. The 351V takes a bit to boot.
The original version of MinUI was released in April of 2021 and analogue pocket released in December 2021.
Only reason I bought this cause it’s look like the OG Game boy
12:00 how did you do it ? I have only one emulator gba, mgba i use in another dir game
IMO, when less means removing wifi capabilities and RetroAchievements, that's not worth the tradeoff.
Yeah Wifi is really nice to have. OTA updates, netplay, retro achievements, file transfers, scraping box art. Yeah but for people who just want to play this is fine.
I would really like to have MinUI for my anbernic rgb351v. I like the simplicity, but mostly the 4 to 5 second boot-up time.
Hallo, can you please tell me where i can buy the Ookemon Casette/Case Sticker that is stuck on the back of the Handheld
can you link me that boot logo please? I love it, subbed for this!
It's a logic behavior that this OS is faster. Less customization = Faster booting. But it lacks a lot of features like cheat system and other things.
Hopefully some of these missing features gets added into MinUI down the line.

Nice review, I definitely prefer the stock OS over the garlic OS. My rg35xx came with both OS’s, it didn’t take me long to delete the garlic OS. 😊👊
Thanks for sharing. Stock actually has alot going for it. Its the only os with native search. Its got favorites. Hdmi works good. Its fairly simple. You get a gamepad tester. Its perfectly usable and I can see why people like it.

How dim can the backlight get? I love GarlicOS but I wish I could reduce the backlight a bit more when playing on my bed.

Idk if skipped it but does this system have gyro for games like kirby tilt and tumble?
No gyro unfortunately theres isnt but people have made rom patches to change gyro controls to normal d pad controls. Not the same unfortunately but its there.
Can i add DS games to the os ? Thanks for the video.
No DS yet. Sorry
Hey, quick question, does it support cheat codes? It matters to me the most!
Can you rewind with minui?
Garlic OS weakest feature is NO SEARCH function and the Stock OS doesnt power down fully when it goes to sleep.
Garlic lacks alot of things from stock. Gamepad test, a settings menu, search, ease of use with menu button, changing date and time, changing background and icons easily, language, sleep.
What u mean add app back in ?@@Tamarocker88
Only use to run GAME N WATCH / ARCADE games that cannot run in the stock os.
Looks a great OS. Can you play zx spectrum, c64 and atari 2600 on it?
Does anyone know if MinUI works on the RG35XX+?
Theres a pre alpha out right now. So yes. But it a very early build and its not very stable
nice.
First time i hear someone says GarlicOS is a bad ripoff. Unnecessary disrespect.
GarlicOS gets enough praise. Not every user has the same experience. Im not the only person to have negative experiences. All I wanted was for it to work, and it does not. Its buggy. It crashes right off a fresh install, doing everything right. Not disrespect
It was my go but I couldn't play my arcade games
GarlicOS sucks, It has hardcoded gamepads opening with SDL 1.2 lib.
My only problem with min ui is playstation multidisc games, i cannot set those up correctly 😅

A simple to use operating system that’s hard to install. I read some installation guides but soon lost interest.
I wouldnt say its hard. Its a little more steps to get going but not that bad.
