Wow so glad I came across your channel! You and Taki are the BEST on UA-cam, THANK YOU so much for EVERYTHING you do for the retro handheld community!🕹🙌🏼🙏
You should make a 350 download pack like the smokemonster packs. No roms of course, but a zip that has the directory structure pre-done and the config files already edited so people can add their own roms and be all set.
@@RetroGameCorps Is it done? I've updated my RG350p with the od beta to play the SM64 port, it's awesome how good it looks and plays but now I can't play other games from other systems, for example, the ps1 games. Besides, I made a backup of the savestates and savefiles and they don't work. Before flashing the od beta I created a backup img from the original OS of my RG350p but someone in my family used the computer and the file was deleted :c I want to go back to the original firmware, the one that came with my rg350p.
Hi, I’m the very fortunate person that Retro Game Corps helped in this video. The device hasn’t arrived yet for a hands on. I am amazed and impressed how knowledgeable he has been. It’s embarrassing what a mess I made of my setup trying it on my own. This video has been great showing me where I got things wrong and why. He makes it look so simple while I beat my head against this for months going in circles. Thank you so much for helping me get up and running properly. I can’t wait to try it out!
It's a learning process, we all had to start somewhere, but I'm sure you will enjoy playing all of the retro games on your newly refurbished RG350. Russ is great for helping out and documenting this for anyone else in a similar situation.
Update: we came across an incompatibility where Simple menu got stuck in a boot loop(?) and Russ walked me through how to tunnel in and show which hidden file to delete to resolve the problem. He is a genius and a genuinely nice person. I definitely could not have done it without him.
Hey lad. Great rebuild. I've done the same rebuild myself many, many times on my own 350. I've found that the HDMI sound output is directly related to the HDMI spec on your target display device. Set your HDMI input on your display device to HDMI 1.4 specification and not HDMI 2.0 spec. That should resolve most everyone's sound issues assuming the rg350 had been setup with the correct firmware iteration and your display meets the HDMI 1.4 spec. Cheers.
So, no idea if you would ever read this, but any idea around making the left analog work for PCSX4All? Tried every video and can make it work on my RG350M. What is odd is it works fine on my RG350…which thank you for all of your videos to help set those handhelds up.
Hi, great video, a question, for the rg280v the firmware to use would be the same? can i follow this guide for it without problems? cause being same chipset and all should be the same correct? thanks
I followed all this but the Update firmware app doesn't appear on my rg350. also my rg350 still cuts off and on randomly and doesn't read the external sd card that formatted for it.
Do you have a video showing how to recover the Anbernic rg405m? I made a hug mistake somewhere trying to install Gamma OS. Obviously I am a noob 😫 and now my device is flashing on and off and it cannot be turned off.
My RG 350 will not connect to laptop ? Why isn't my laptop recognise it's plugged in. Plus my USB 1 on RG 350 doesn't seem to work so I use USB 2 side. Can anyone help me on this product
Russ! Wow! That’s all I’m saying throughout the whole video . You do such an incredible job on your videos . I’m in the same situation . I was uploading a rom through FTP and accidentally moved the wrong files around. Now my emulators are gone and also my ports. Completely screwed up my RG350M. It’s unplayable so I need to reflash it. I don’t have the time , patience or tech savvy enough to make it happen. You should def make some kind of basic file for people like me in the same situation. Especially all emulators added. You should add a donate button. I def would be willing to donate or buy a beer to show my gratitude for such a file. I’m thinking of just selling it and wait for a later version if I can’t fix this problem . I really want to play Dreamcast and psp but don’t want to sacrifice a smaller screen of the 351p and a metal version . So we will see. Thanks once again !
Hi, thanks for the feedback! I do want to set up TF1 cards for the 350/350P and 350M, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Not enough time in the day!
I got a rg350m brand new few weeks ago. Opened it up and fired it up and nothing just a green light. I dont know what to do. The company keeps giving me the run around. Smh just a paper weight at this point.
Correct, disk management only goes up to a certain limit for FAT32, and 128GB is well over that limit (can't remember the size, but 16GB sounds right). As far as I know, you also cannot expand an EXT4 (Linux) partition in Windows.
Greeting man I have RG 350 P with black screen problem and the power indicator in lite green with no response at all, I even dissembled it and removed the battery, tried reset button, no response at all Can you help me please??
Hi, I too bought a RG351P this year for my son at Christmas time and when we turned it on it says "filesystem" may be corrupted :( Any suggestions on how to repair? Thank you
I've bought a Rg351m and it doesn't boot system failure booting fail check or something can someone explain me what I have to do before it wanted me to insert a SD card and I did and after that it shuts down I think it's because of the firmware or anything right? Maybe because that's why it can't boot and always shuts down even with or without the SD card inserted but I haven't opened up my consoles back yet.
If i remove the external micro sd and refresh the console to regular instead of rougue, could i just put in the memory card after the switch and still play my games normally? Because i honestly don't like rougue either, i feel like its so limited. Haven't used my rg350 over 2 years because of this lol i have a gpd xd bit i want a windows device like gpd win 4. Your videos helped me out with this when i first got it also. Can't u just reboot and then update over wifi?
Hello i wondering if you can help me with a problem am having with, RG 350 p. I can’t get it to hook up to my computer to add game . It just do see it. I put the 10.1.1.2 That come up but it don’t connect with the usb.
The RG350 doesn't really have upscaling, since its resolution is a little limited at 320x240 pixels. But some emulators offer "hardware" scaling, which will take advantage of the full resolution and often improves the visual fidelity. Off the top of my head, the latest SNES, NES, GB, GBC, GBA, and PS1 emulators on my site offer hardware scaling.
I been trying to do a software change on my Rg350m but I don’t want to mess it up plus I have a Mac and it’s really difficult to do it on there any advice?
I know this emulator is pretty old and getting help is probably unlikely but I was wondering if there was a way to diagnose why my RG350m will not turn on? I’m assuming it’s the battery but I don’t want to buy a new battery and have it still not work
I just recently found this video and I also own the exact same model rg350 the problem is is that my left shoulder button on the console has actually stopped working I don't know if it's a short or some other issue I'm really looking for some help with it wondering if you can help me out I don't want to give up on this device it's so much fun but it's really frustrating
Hi, I'm not sure what this is referring to. What is the "update button"? As far as I know there is no update button on any firmware that works on the RG300X. If your device isn't working properly, I recommend you check out the Adam firmware image and my guide on it, that will walk you through everything you would need to set the device up. retrogamecorps.com/2021/08/20/rg350-rg280-series-starter-guide/
@@RetroGameCorps hi. I also have forgotten how i could go into updating mode. Anyway now my problem solved after sent to technician to reinstall the software. Thx a lot
hi, i'm... kinda new to this stuff well, i got one of those as a present some time ago, and now i'm having a little issue whenever i open an emulator, no games show up, it just shows a list of folders. idk if it's something to do with the memory cards Maybe it just lost the location of the games, but they are still there...? Not really sure if someone can give me some info about this problem, it'll be of great help
This sounds like a bad TF1 (internal) SD card. You can also try opening it up and unplugging the battery and plugging it back in, sometimes that can fix it.
Uh yh I had the same issue as well as a battery fault it is a faulty plug in I don't think I can replace it either it was covered in duck tape and glue I'm upset this was £80 :(
can you fix mine? sometimes l1 l2 r1 r2 not responding.. and the analog on the tester says its going left.. please please please :( also the dpad sometimes not responding
I just tried to install the mario64 port on my RG350M using a beta firmware, on a new sd card. When I loaded mario64 it loaded the audio only, with a black screen. While pressing buttons the game started so I know it was running. So I pressed reset, and it did not turn back on. It has a constant faint green LED light, power button does nothing. Im guessing its bricked. Any idea how I might fix this, as it really new. Thanks
Hello im about to get rg351p and i wanted to try out the dosbox it was my understanding you need to make pc file and then put in dos games with .exe is it a good idea or does it gonna fck up the device in any way ?
Hi, if I understand you correctly, yes, DOSBox loads .exe files, but they won't mess with the RG351P at all -- this is a Linux device, so it cannot even run .exe files (outside of the DOSBox emulator).
I really want to do this but I have a Mac and have not seen any guides on a MacBook can I some how Pay you extra and you can mod one for me an send it ??? Totally willing to pay for your service
So I have a rg350 stock and I know I could do so much more with it but I do like the games on it so I just leave it as is . I also bought a rg351p that’s new and has completely new software . This one is very bugy and I rarely use it because hard to find things on it . Since I have a new computer I really wanna take the time to try and fix them up as much as possible .
Hello Yesterday I was telling you I was having issues with my new whiteRG351P They told me it’s some thing I’m doing wrong with my RG351P can I pay you to set it up properly for me And send it to you please if you have some free time
I also have a old RG350 that is in good condition just missing the thumb grips that you can have I had the same issue just didn’t know how to set it up properly
Is it showing a very faint green light? If so, it's often a firmware issue (like the TF1 SD card went bad). You could always open it up, unplug the battery from the board, then replug it in, that sometimes will fix it for people.
as i liked RG350M i also hate it... just lack of quality.. electronics are fragile as heck.. my was gone.. touching the floor in his case... and guess what... i had blinking screen top and bottom.was a small drop and screen was just gone. those chinese crappy electronics like this junk can't hold even a small drop when RG was in his case. for me RG is history.. i throw it away because not possible to fix it. what a shame. just another chinese crap..
This software is absolutely horrible! It bricked my USB drive after trying to flash it with a linux iso. I never imagined a simple tool to copy over the files from an iso could destroy a USB drive corrupting it completely. I'm going through the steps to try and revive it, but all my attempts so far have been futile. This software should be taken off of sourceforge. Maybe it worked in the past on older versions of Windows, but now that the majority of Microsoft users are running WIn10 it should be removed.
i recently upgraded my sd cards and the os on my 350m but i lost the bios folder i got a new one but i dont know how to install the new bios is there a video on that somewhere because thats what i need to get my device back to full operation again

I find it a bit interesting that you used apps to expand the partition and reformat the card to FAT32 when both can be done within windows.
You can expand FAT32 partitions in Windows through disk management, but you need a special utility to format any removable media above 16GB I think?
Correct, disk management only goes up to a certain limit for FAT32, and 128GB is well over that limit (can't remember the size, but 16GB sounds right). As far as I know, you also cannot expand an EXT4 (Linux) partition in Windows.
