      And all is working fine! Keep apart the original SD and used a new one to preserve the first. Tried some Dreamcast games and works great. The console is beautiful, has quality building, but I still like the analog position of RG350. More comfortable IMHO. Maybe need habitude?

      ​@@coolteethbro Waited 4 days, it was in Amazon Prime selling. As I said before, the analog position isn't really comfortable. I'll need a grip to prevnt hand cramps. I can notice that Pro Evolution Soccer 2 (Eur) on PSX1 emulator, has some lags when starting a match. RG350, same game, run like a charme in every moment. Also the analog with PSX1 emu seems to respond not so good as the old console. Furthermore, I'm stuck because I changed a whatever option I don't know, to Kiosk mode and now all options are hide. Can't figure out how to turn back. I have a lot of work to do...

    @jaimeromangarza5861 3 роки тому

    Hi bought an rg351p and it was fine the first day I got it, but the day after the system was not booting. I saw in a lot of forums that the SD cards that come with the device die quickly, so I bought a better SD card and installed the 351ELEC v2.0 on it, and after inserting the card in the handheld, the rg351p screen shows “file system corruption has been detected!” And “Your system is broken beyond repair. Please re-install 351ELEC”
    I re installed it, the same version 2.0 and also tried with the v1.0.11 and it always shows the “corruption” message. I am not sure if this happens due to the SD cards, or the handheld itself.
    I used a Mac and the ApplePi baker to write the .img in the SD cards, if you had a similar problem please let me know.

    I'm having so much trouble to get my RG351v to work straight out of the box & could really use some MAC-based assistance that I can't seem to find anywhere. (I'm running a 2020 MacBook Pro.)
    SD card came blank with no games or BIOS, so I've been trying to install 351ELEC and/or ArkOS.
    But there's also trouble getting ApplePiBaker to Flash the 351ELEC .img file to my brand new SD card;
    When it's NOT a decompressed .img file, PiBaked cannot open it.
    When it IS decompressed, it doesn't recognize any files as compatible for the Flash (every other option is greyed out & unclickable.)
    I've even tried other image writers!
    At this point I'm near giving up
    Been combing through all these links & multiple videos, & discord servers for some hint of information as to what I'm doing/not doing but I'm starting to feel like I just wasted $100 (plus the money spent on new SD cards).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      You can play the game with the frameskip off, and it actually plays at a smooth 60FPS about 75% of the time. The other 25% of the time (when you drive by busy scenes, like a crowd), it can dip down to about 45 FPS. I like having the auto frameskip feature on so that I can have smooth gameplay most of the time, and frameskipping to get past those dips.

      Hi, it's been really wonky. For the most part all three do equally well, but then some random games will do better on the updated 3.7 stock firmware (like the God of War games -- not great, mind you), while others will do better on 351ELEC or ArkOS. In general, none of them are great for PSP, but you can get decent gameplay out of about 1/2 of the games on the market.

    • @RetroGameCorps
      @RetroGameCorps  4 роки тому

      If you don't see a drive letter named GAMES when you plug the SD card into a card reader, it's most likely that Windows did not automatically assign a drive letter to that partition on your SD card. This can be resolved by going to disk management (type disk management in the search bar in Windows 10 and select the first control panel app that comes up at the top as the best match), then going to the SD card with the GAMES partition label, then assign a drive letter to the GAMES partition by right clicking on the GAMES partition and selecting Assign Drive Letter or Change Driver letter and Path, then follow the directions from there. Once completed, the drive should show up under My Computer. You typically only need to ever do this once on the Windows machine.

What does 351Elec offer more than the 3.9? Just wondering because I have just ordered a RG351 after watching your new review. Great stuff, I want to prepare before it comes in the mail.

      @RetroGameCorps  4 роки тому

      Hi, yes the 3.7 has a FAT32 partition, but the 3.8 and 3.9 updates don’t have that partition. So up until today it’s been a trade off - upgrade to 3.9 but lose the FAT32 partition. This firmware is the best of both worlds, plus it has the PSP update that until now only worked with 3.7.

    I'm very new to this, and I just ordered a 351P for myself, hopefully coming in soon. Watching this video, I'm a bit confused.... is this a flash update that I want to get, or should I stay on the OEM that comes with the device? I'm totally excited for things that make the user experience better. I got the 351P because of the ease of use, as I'm not a modder and I want something that will just work.

    • @RetroGameCorps
      @RetroGameCorps  4 роки тому +1

      Hi, the RG351P works relatively well out of the box, but does require some tweaking. 351ELEC (and ArkOS) are alternative operating systems that streamline a lot of the user experience to make it better, but they are optional. I recommend you check out my starter guide, it should walk you through all of the various things you can do on the device and you can then choose how deep you want to go! Either way, I would rest assured that it'll work just fine without any tweaks -- these are simply things you may want to do to get the most out of the device. retrogamecorps.com/2020/11/01/rg351p-starter-guide/

    • @RetroGameCorps
      @RetroGameCorps  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Vitor, the other collections of emulators will only appear if you add a rom for that system. So you need to add those games in order for them to appear. But 351ELEC uses the same file structure, with a GAMES partition. If you only have access to Windows 7, you will need to use WiFi FTP to transfer games onto the SD card. After you transfer the games over, the systems will appear in the game menu! Here is information on how to set up WiFi FTP: retrogamecorps.com/2020/10/13/rg351p-file-transfer-guide/#WiFi for general information, and here is for 351ELEC: retrogamecorps.com/2020/11/11/introducing-351elec-a-new-firmware-for-the-rg351p/
