  • A look at my personal setup for my Anbernic RG Arc D. I prefer to use Linux for retro gaming and Android for Android games.

    I think you are the only one working on a custom OS for Arc D so thank you! It's a great handheld but Anbernic's pump and dump strategy with buggy software sucks.

    Llevaba mucho tiempo detrás de la ARC D porque me encantaba su diseño al estilo SEGA. Pero vi que el software era bastante malo. Fue una grata sorpresa encontrar a alguien que esté ofreciendo una opción real a esta gran consola y te doy muchas gracias por todo el esfuerzo y dedicación. ¡Gracias desde muy lejos por algo que nos llega de cerca al corazón! 😍😍😍

    I settled with Gamma OS and then installed ES-DE on it. It works pretty well and I have my savestates synced with my other Android devices.

    Super excited for stable although I’ve encountered no issues with beta 10. I totally forget I can use Android. I guess I should play around with some of those games too. Thanks for all your work!

    Really love the UI. I've got GG working beautifully so far with Pico Drive. Its the one that plays the translations. Big win there. And the MD is all good. SS is dubious. I broke Retro Arch messing with the options too much and had to reinstall. DO NOT MESS WITH POLYGON MODE!!! One thing I can say improved things was turning RGA Scaling on in Video settings. I got Soukyugurentai working okay but it wasnt perfect and now its all broken again. Its something to do with Retro Arch. The standalone emulator runs the games smoothly but without the necessary corrections. I wonder if Retro Arch devs can do some customizations???

      @@thomashughes5159 I do not believe so. Retro Arena is custom software that does not like alot of tampering. Ive just scuppered mine again fiddling with the audio driver. The whole Retro Arch suite implodes quite easily. I think Ive concluded best settings were in place anyway. Customization by an expert needs no further customization one might agree. Just dont mess with driver options anyway. Will requite reinstall and there are alot of settings in Emulation Station that one can tailor and thats a fair bit of effort to redo. Im just waiting for the FINAL now. Will just settle for whatever SL can manage. Only thing one can really do is ensure the best roms are on there. CHD I did notice was a little bit more jittery on SFIII than the ISO using RETROARCH AUTO PERFORMANCE its almost playable if not for the terrible audio scrambling that happens. Its got quite a challening tacklist that one too. Many do work beautifully.

    I've been really liking my arc-s and I tried out retroarena but its a bit janky with the wifi so retroachievements weren't working which is a big bummer
    Oh also for some reason retroarch32 for saturn just stopped working all of a sudden during a playthrough of magic night rayearth, it crashed and ever since I could not get any other saturn game to run with the retroarch32 emulator

      wifi should work ok?? did you use retroarch or the wifi in options to log in?
      as for Yabasanshiro 32 bit, it might need you to run the permission fix scrips, or log in over wifi sftp and delete the corrupted save data, you can do that from the file manager too.

    Somehow the saturn games I've tried have run worse on this than on the stock OS, namely Sega Rally and Nights into Dreams; I imagine that's the same for all the other's I would be willing to try.

    Good job, it looks pretty good to me, I’m really thinking seriously about buying the D model, all my current handhelds aren’t all that comfortable to play, I don’t think it would be a problem with this….anyways, I was wondering if Star Wars knights of the old republic 1&2 would work on it?

    I have tried the latest version. I love it, but i cant save. Probably faulty sd. Though it works wonders.
    What I was wondering is that if you can add MSDOS games. I think you can, but not entirely sure how.
    Just want to play Lakers vs Celtics from MSdos though.
    If you can help me out with that, I would be super grateful. (Not that im not already with all the work you put).
    Cheers.

    Did anyone try to play Shining Force 3 Scenario 1-3 on the RG Arc with Retro Arena? I have installed Beta 10 and each Shining Force can be played until the first attack sequenz. During the changing from the attack screen to the map screen the emulator crashes down to the RA Menu.

    Can we have Standalone DS Emulators like with JELOS? 🤩
    Then we'd have touchscreen support on the Linux side too.
