A 10, 000 word written guide on top of a 47 minute video. Russ, we all thank you for the work you put in!

[Elkenders]

This isn't a starter guide it's a finisher guide! A GOLDEN GUIDE!

[JeremyRicketts]

Thank you for these videos and the written guides. There were multiple times I was blocked on something during setup of my RG35XX+ and something you created helped me get unstuck. The quality is just SO ridiculously high. Keep it up!

[Spint]

It's so fun to watch the different 3rd party OS devs work on these systems in real time. The fact that if you have a problem you can often find them in the discord checking with the public and most questions have been answered there already if you search for it.

[Ziscor_]

It makes me so thankful that you're a part of this community, helping people weigh every option that has this SOC. A kind of video that you weren't at all obligated to do, but it does so much to help someone who is just getting any one of these devices right now. Thank you, Russ.

“Do you really wanna do this?” And you’re gonna say: “Yeah man, I wanna do it”

Sunday came early! Thanks for getting this out while you could!

[charlesgriffiths]

My 35xx plus arrived today so this is perfect timing. Excellent. Gonna be hard to say goodbye to my 350M after 4 years of use.

Since I bought a Miyoo Mini for my son and then found your channel, I've bought an RG35XXH and a Steam Deck and I'm finding myself playing the RG35XXH more, it's just so good for retro gaming, even with stock OS!

[mikehorton]

The work you have put into giving us a one stop channel with definitive guides into setting up these retro handlehelds is phenomenal. Keep up the good work, you're helping the gaming community relive their childhood and introducing gaming history to the new generation 👍

Your video about rg35xx is just right on time. My rg35xxh is coming from the mail today. Information overload . Your video's easy to understand. 👍👍 good job, russ. You're such a gem in the community! 🤝

Regarding the USB C charger situation, the SP model does accept a PD signal, but the chip that negotiates the powerdraw is for a better word borked. There is a real possibility that the unit will catch fire. So for your own safety, ONLY USE A OLD POWERBRICK THAT ONLY SUPPLIES 5V, 2A OR LESS. Even if a fast PD charger seems to work, don't use it.

[Tsouga]

Oh Cool, my RG35XX H just came in the mail today, and I was looking for your Setup guide. How convenient!

[milesmilesmiles]

I thought my RG35XXSP was busted in some way because none of my hot keys worked. I read the manual, googled it, messed with settings, looked up a bunch of Retroarch stuff. Turns out I was using the left menu mentioned at 08:51 instead of using “RA Game, ” which is the right menu. Now everything works.

[SyphistPrime]

I actually recommended these devices to my coworker who seemed interested in a retro handheld. If he goes through with it I'll definitely send him this video.

*FOR PEOPLE USING KNULLI WITH A SINGLE SD CARD:*

The ROMs folder will not be accessible on Windows because the partition that it's on is formatted to ext4 (not readable by Windows). You can reformat the SD card to exFAT *after first boot* by going to Main Menu>System Settings>Frontent Developer Options>Format a Disk. Then select exFAT for the file type, run it, and then restart. You will be able to access the ROMs folder on Windows now, but you might lose support for some Port Master games (which I *highly* doubt many people will care about).

I don't know what you can do about the video guide at this point Russ, but this should really be added to the written guide at least.

I just got the SP, but haven't even touched it because I knew you'd come in clutch with an excellent starter guide. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication for your craft, Russ!

[pietrosc]

Thanks Russ! Finally the SP arrived yesterday, this guide came out just in time!

[calebrasak]

If it weren’t for your content I wouldn’t have bought one of these systems. Thanks for your hard work!

[zalz]

The sp and rg28xx are really fun to play, glad to see things looking up for the technology of the hobby. It's improving
