r/RG35XX_H

After being a long-time Knulli user, I decided to really put in the effort to figure out MUOS since I hear it's easier and quicker, but it turned out to be just constant frustration for me. Yes, it booted quick but the features I like in Knulli were just a challenge in MUOS. what I consider basic, like SEARCH, SCRAPPING, and SMB. Yes, MUOS had them (scrappy installed separately), but they felt extremely clunky to access, and scrapping was painfully slow. I even reformatted my SD2 card (at the cost of a few thousand games) to see if that would help. it didn't and I gave up last night. Now I'm rebuilding my game collection and back on KNULLI

Hey guys! I've had my RG35XXH for a few months now and am really loving it. I've seen online how many upgrades you can make (dpad, buttons, shoulder buttons, grips, etc.), and I'm trying to figure out what actually improves the experience.

So, for those of you who have ventured into upgrading your device, what's the best upgrade you've made and would recommend?

I just got bought the device and really cant decide on what OS to download. Can you guys recommend with its pros and cons? Thank you in advance.

Sorry folks - new to all of this - with my first handheld (rg35xxh) only purchased a little while ago (still using stock os and planning on upgrading soon (this weekend), but since I am just starting and have a handful of roms to date (about 10) and ZERO bios...wondering how 'safe' is it to plug the stock sd card that came with the unit into my computer and grab the bios files (I plan on leaving the roms and collect my own eventually).

I have watched many a YouTube video by folks who do it, and yet I have seen several folks on various retro handheld subs say you should never put one of those cards in your personal computer.

We only have the one computer and I don't want to put it at risk but plugging it in and grabbing some files to use. Should I not bother and try and source these myself or just do it?

Again...new to all of this so please go easy on me.

I'm planning to buy an rg35xxh. It's around 60 quid ($75 - $80) on AliExpress. But I've heard you can get it for much less

I tried flashing a custom firmware (Batocera Lite) on a brand new Philips 64gb SD card and the device won't turn on with it. I does turn on with the stock card, although not on the first try after putting back the card. I tried re-flashing the card with a potentially newer version of the OS but got the same result. No screen light, no logo, no nothing. What do you think could be the issue? Chat GPT says that Philips is not a reliable brand when it comes to DS cards, does anyone had similar issues with it. Could there be a connection issue with the SD card slot since it took a couple tries with stock card after re-insertion? Is that even a common thing? I am getting a SanDisk card to test it out, that brand has not yet failed me, but I don't want to potentially damage the slot with constant card swapping.

Thanks for reading it! I really appreciate any help!

Has anyone has any success with Garlic OS ?

I am new to all of this (never heard of a ROM until a little while ago) and still running the Anbernic Stock but I want to move on, but I ran into issues when I tried to upgrade the stock OS.

So I am figuring that the Tiny Best Set Go might be my best option as I only have a handful of ROMs (I got my device once Myrient shut down), so it 'might' be a good option to get moving fast with a non-stock OS and some ROMs to get me started? Unless there is something about Garlis OS that I should avoid?

Based on reading this sub, I wanted to install Knulli, but since Tiny Best Set has a Garlic OS option, I might go with that...

Thoughts?

So I was playing my 35XXH in the sun yesterday, and the screen just went black. Had no idea what was going on, but then went inside and the screen was basically black with some shimmering. I'm going to try and reseat the display ribbon cable, but I'm 99% sure it's probably cooked. If that's the case, I have no desire to put any more money into this as I've had it over two years and have basically gotten my money's worth.

That being said, I'd like to maybe use it as an always-on console. It does work perfectly now plugged into a HDMI cable. That being, the aspect ratios/scaling have never been right for me only ever being in Stock OS.

If I flashed a card to say, Knulli (which seems to have the most console like experience), would the scaling in Retroarch and other games be correct? Or would it be all stretched out like it is now? The problem with Stock OS is that you're for some reason not allowed to even set the aspect ratio to 4:3 for some reason (Settings/Video/Scaling), so everything is a little off.

Is this even possible? Many thanks for any help.
