The save folder in GarlicOS has CHANGED. It is now on the same card or drive as your ROMS. ROMS - Saves - Current Profile. The saves need to be in a folder named the same as the emulator they run on in RetroArch and inside that current profile folder.

@@GamesMore247 what is garlic os?
@@ftfffj8194 it's a custom operating system for this device. You can install it to replace the stock operating system.
@@GamesMore247 installing this os is a pain in the ass i deleted all the files in the first sd card by accident because of that confusion and not im stuck with a paperweight
@@GamesMore247 i need a guide on how to get it back to stock there isnt much options ,this is when this device fails in my eyes because it should be simple folks like we are in 2023 and yet we are still flashing things like dinosaures .when it should be as simple as plug in update device unplugg and play . now everything is a mess of things over complicated ,when it shoud be simple
I watched 10 videos trying to install garlic OS on my anbernic but I'm too tech illiterate.finally installed it after watching this great video.Thanks Shane
I have been looking for a simple video and I finally found it. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing this. I wanted to preview it before trying on my rgxx too.
Thanks for the tutorial video that was very handy, I found the stock OS serviceable but wanted something a little more.
Garlic OS I think is much better but still has a way to go.
I finally got my surface duo, at this point, I just watch your videos out of addiction 😂😆
I like miniUi on my miyoo mini. I love how you get your save and load options by just pressing the menu bottom. No extra steps. I hope they port miniUi over to rg35xx. I prefer it over onion os
Hey, thanks for the awesome video and tutorial. Really straightforward.
Great video! I was having issues with a fresh install, but it looks like updating from the stock OS is fairly simple.
Yeah I tried for a day and 1/2 I couldn’t get it to work from an fesh image on a new sd card. I had to image stock os then use the copy paste overwrite … it’s the only thing that worked. It’s worth noting if ya upgrade to a larger sd card ya need to extend the partion and name it ROMS making it fat32 the copy your roms ya backed up from the original os sd card or others you added into the folders
Quick question so from stock os, you just need to only copy paste the garlic os from the misc drive right? I'm very confused because i see balena etcher to install or flash the OS first?
@@johnpaolosison2883 this method is only copy and paste. you can use balena to backup your stock image but in this method you're not using it to write anything. i think you're confusing with retro game corps method of fresh install which is way more confusing but still doable.
@@joaoboccoli i dont understand why you would do a fresh install if this method works great
Thanks alot! Iam new to the Handhelds, and with your Video i will be able to install it
Glad I could help!
Good morning to you!
Awesome video. Will be gettkng mine in a week. One question tho, when i get the garlic OS installed will it automatically have extra emulators? Im mostly interested in Amiga and was windering if thats automatically included in the onion OS with the bios
Can you connect a 8bitdo bluetooth controller when u put in the 8bitdo receiver in the rg35xx? and if yyes can you connect 2 or more controller via the dongle?
First off: very good explanation, thank you! In the video you mentioned the other download from black seraph, the "clean slate". Can i use this on my newly bought (empty and probably more reliable) 64 gig card to skip the part of backing up and reflashing the stocl image?
Yes, that is the purpose of that version. I would assume you would just use win32diskimager and write it to it just like you would the stock image. If that fails, you can also flash the stock image linked and then use the copy/paste version.
Great video. BTW, how do you quit a game completely? Tried removing from the recent list but it always go back to the same state.
@Shane Craig please make an in depth video on save files no matter what i do i cant figure out how to get garlic to recognize my fire red save file
You never talked about updating, just a clean install
It's the exact same process.
@@scaryifliteral ok, thank you. Will do it now :)
Edit: Ok, so I lost all of my screen settings and button personalization. Made a backup previously. Which file(s) should I restore?
Hi, Do you know how to play NEOGEO games on GarlicOS? They play great with the Stock OS but they’re not running on GarlicOS. Any thoughts?
Thanks for this! Where you able to check if boxart is supported in these early releases? Pics with the same name as the rom names, or perhaps via xml gamelists like OnionOS?
I think art got added literally this morning. Check his patreon linked in the description.
@@scaryifliteral i see the latest changelog mentions Added support for game system icons (put them in skin/system/FOLDERNAME.png). Any chance you can check if this also works with roms, still waiting on mine to arrive ;-)
Hi, can you help me where to copy my ROMS to sd card, whenever I copy paste my roms from the stockk SD the file doesnt work or doesnt show. Or are there any links where I can download new ROMS file to paste it on my garllic rom sd card. thank you
I was setting my binds inside of the config, long story short I accidentally messed up every bind and now I cannot navigate the menu with the d-pad/play any games. Is there a way to reset/fix all bindings if none of them work properly.
I think sleep mode works by creating a save state and powering down, then auto loading that state once powered back on
Seems about right. My issue is that the time between it actually powering off and me hitting the power button as long enough to have some significant battery drain.
so i have the stock firmware i just got my system and i am tryin to play a GBA game called goku buus fury and it says " game will not play on this hardware" how can i fix this??
Everytime I have tried downloading the garlic.img, the file is corrupt? Went ahead and tried it anyway, doesn't boot or anything. I got my RG35XX like a week ago maybe? 30 mins after playing, screen went static, shut off, has yet to come back on. It did, one time, pop up with the battery indicator, I plugged it in and it "charged." After I unhooked it and tried booting it again, nothing has came back on since. I unplugged the battery for a bit but no luck. I have a new sim and all the stuff but I am having no luck. Literally my first time trying to get into the retro handhelds and have had only issues. Any advice?
Hi. I cant run final fantasy 8 italian version on my rg35xx. Do u know what i must change in options on my device ? Thanks. Sorry for my bad english. I m italian. Thanks again.
So can anyone confirm if N64 works on RG35XX? The linked page you have said it does. Other places say it doesnt. Because N64 is 64 bit which requires a bit more hardware.
It's my first time with this. I don't know what I moved, but the joystick only works in the home menu, it doesn't work in games or in the settings menu. What to do?
my rg35xx says cant save state and i tried to save on the game like legend of dragoon and no file so how can i save games on garlic os.thanks
they need to work on 2 player sync.. connecting 2 devices together using a lead to play 2 player game together or a splitter box for multi player games.
If I've downloaded garlic os onto a fresh SD card will I be able to update it the same way as in this video, want the new update to garlic os but don't want to accidently screw something up. Thanks in advance love the content on this device
Yep, just copy and paste the new stuff. Super easy.
Just wanna clarify, so for a new sd card, do you use win32diskimager as well to create the same partitions as the stock os?
then u just flash the second link from BlackSeraph correct?
One of the two links on Patreon *should* be the image to flash with win32diskimager, no coppy/paste needed. I haven't gone this route though. You could also download the official image, flash that and then use the copy/paste version.
What if I just wanna move the stock OS and roms on a new sd card?
Is there a search function in garlic OS to find a certain game?
Can you use gameshark chests in this system?
Wird mit den os auch die deutsche Sprache unterstützt. So das Menüs auf deutch sind ? Danke
does anyone have a backup of their apps folder (as i "accidentally" deleted the apps folder)?
When doing a dual card set up, what size do you recommend for the OS and Rom cards?
16gb for OS (unless you want to have dual OS) and the ROM can be as big as you like but I think 125gb is plenty. Remember to format the ROM card as FAT32.
7zip wont unzip the copy and past file. what am i doing wrong ?
Why whenever I save it restart after about 15mins playing it.
Thanks for the guide!
The device has 2 micro SD card Slots but it seems like you're only using one micro SD card in this guide. Just confirming, will my OS and roms all be on the same card? Is the second SD card slot not utilised?
In this video I stuck with one card because that's how it came. That being said, you can pop in a second card and simply create a folder called ROMs and put all your games in there and it will load off of them just fine.
@@scaryifliteral thanks for clearing that up!
Thank you, this was very informative. Although none of the consoles show up in the console menu. Any idea on how to fix this? The games I play that I open through retroarch stills show up in the recent tab in GarlicOS.
The consoles have to be specific folder names found inside the ROMS partition. Have you changed any of the names? NES is FC, SNES is SFC, etc, etc.
@@scaryifliteral I don't believe I renamed them. I only deleted the ones that were useless on the device.
Hi Shane, great video. I did everything as said in the video. But when I go to the emulators menu it only appears nes, GB, gbc, GBa, MD and snes. What do I have to do to gain access to the other emulators that I had in the original os? Thanks
I believe some of the folders have changed names. In the stock os, Playstation was PS1, in GarlicOS it's PS. When you did the install there should have been folders with the correct names, you just need to move the roms into the correct folders if the name changed.
I have no idea what I’m doing and it doesn’t copy over. Hell I don’t know if I’m even doing it right 🤷♂️
👍😀
its loading and nothing happen ...?
Thanks for video. Question if I’m using a new sd card 128gb dose it have to be FAT32 and will I have to great the partitions.
If you're using a new card of that size, the simplest thing to do is to flash the stock image from anbernic and then adjust the ROMS partition to use the unused space and then use the copy version of GarlicOS. You'll also need a program to let you change the ROMS partition to FAT32. I say this because the other version of GarlicOS didn't want to work for me.

@@scaryifliteral thanks
Typical of any experience I have with tech. Running into problems with Step 1. Why can't I unzip the file? I've tried WinRAR and 7zip... it says "unexpected end of data"
Since this guide the files have gotten too big to be uploaded to patreon so the make has split them. Download 001 and 002 to the same folder, right click 001 and extract.
So for some reason Pokemon emerald won't launch bot my other Pokemons will. Is it maybe the bios file? (It flashes when starting shows the black screen with white text and then goes to recent games)
Emerald boots up just fine for me
@@scaryifliteral weird. I know it's not the rom itself either cuz it works on stock OS. Maybe it's a setting I've changed or something
@@scaryifliteral I ended up just replacing the rom. Guessing it was a messed up game state or something (I copied it over from the SD card that came with the device.) Works fine now 🤷
Just received mine.. Id like to just swap all the info to a new SD.. i backup Misc obv, but do I also back up the ROMS as well? thanks!
You basically need to just do what I show in this video but stop at the park for installing garlic OS.
@@scaryifliteral you’re incredibly helpful. Thanks so much. Actually mid “new ROMs” transfer right now. Hehe
I installed galicOS 1.34 on my card how do i update to 1.38
Copy it on top, same as installing.
It does not let me copy the files to the misc folder because it says that "it does not have enough space".
Any file that you're about to copy over that is going to overwrite a file that's already there can be deleted prior to moving them.
@@scaryifliteral Yes I just noticed that thank you.
Does this os give us a better graphic on ps1 games???
Should be the same
i need a step by step beginner guide i appriciate you posting this video but im a noob when it comes down to this and im having a hard time trying to get my device back to work after deleting all the files in the first sd card can someone please help with a smooth guided tutorial from scratch not a advance guide but a simple guide for the slower folks out there , please and thank you
Oh dear, not sure why you deleted anything off your card. You only needed to copy files over the top and then move your saves. If you actually deleted stuff you're going to have to reflash the stock OS and start over.
ua-cam.com/video/ZbyWvw3kmzY/v-deo.html
In that video I describe how to get a new sd card set up to use, but that's effectively what you're going to have to do with your old card. Back up your ROMS on your PC so that you don't lose them.
A lot of issues here. No game icons, no system icons, some folders doesn't work. Waiting for bug corrections :)
Game artwork got added yesterday in some capacity. It's a WIP that is moving very fast. Fast forward is also now fixed.
Yeah I got some folders not working I’ll look at game art
i have no idea..try this method and i cant even overwrite the misc folder..it just says no room enough and need more space..what im doing?
update : i use stock SD card itself..
If you're overwriting a file that's already on the card, you can delete that file first before moving the new stuff over. Just don't delete anything that you aren't about to overwrite.
@@scaryifliteral oh ok..need backup or something before that?
Garlic OS is still unstable and has no dedicated shut down menu. I've already had to deal with a softlocked system.
Sorry to hear that, haven't had that happen to me yet.
What I need to press to open quick menu? Menu +any key doesn’t work, please help 😭
Can’t find how to save my progress in games 😞
Menu plus x brings up to menu, menu Plus l2 saves and r2 loads.
Thank you bro
May be you know why it can’t launch some games from menu, for example crash bash? I can only launch it via retroarch, and when I close it it doesn’t want to open from main menu like other games that are minimized
I love retro games, but this is my first experience with such a handheld, And that's why I don't understand a lot of things😞
cant copy over misc onto my RG35 because theres not enough space, please help :(
Take a file like "uImage" and since you're about to replace it anyways, just delete it from your MISC drive and then copy everything over.
@@scaryifliteral from my main SD card or the second SD card which holds all my games ??
Please, how many systems rg35XX can run now with retroarch?
All I can do is point you towards is the creator, don't have this information.
At the moment it does PS1 and below, same as the stock firmware, difference is that it will run smoother on garlicos/retroarch and you will have more control of settings. N64 and a few others are possible with the level of hardware in the device, and the retroarch cores are available, but until a way to access the GPU for hardware accelerated rendering is found, they aren't possible yet. A few possible fixes have already been presented in the retro handhelds discord though (along with people continuing to ask Anbernic to release it themselves), so I'm hopeful that something will come eventually.
@@RenshoYT thanks you very much for answering me. 👍
@@scaryifliteral I would have liked to see the core menu of retroarch.
@@RenshoYT does it play systems like atari linx, nintendo virtua boy, sega 32x or others 80/90 systems ?
Does someone have a timestamp where he shows how to Update an existing GarlicOS?
You just copy the new files over the old. It's the same process.
@@scaryifliteral thank you very much!
I did this and all my PS1 games is gone (it's still on the card but didn't appear on garlic os. Anybody know how to fix it?
Same, did u find a solution?
@@Eiriiik yeah, change folder name from PS to PS1
7-zip refuses to extract my file from black sereph... anyone know how to help?
It is now split into two pieces, make sure you download both.
@@scaryifliteral 001 and 002?
@@scaryifliteral i dounload both and all i get is error, no files are able to be extracted. Not sure, perhaps the file on his patreon is corrupt?
Just downloaded 001 and 002, right clicked on 001 and hit extract and it worked fine.
Hi, do I NEED to have better sd cards!
Not necessarily.
@@scaryifliteral thanks for replying, will there be any flaws if I use included ones, I enjoyed your video btw
i need to update it to cheat
wellll , i fked up something lol ...... its not botting at all
