Thank you so much for this, Russ. I know this is 3 yo, but I just received an RG300X unit from a friend and out of all the units I have I could not for the life of me figure out why this one wasn't working. Thanks to you, I know now that using the 'select_kernel' batch/script file is a CRITICAL step in making the device bootable.

Thanks for featuring my Cheat Sheet in the video. The Adam image is getting better with every release, and your videos really simplify everything for new users. I'm stunned with the life this image has breathed into my original orange and black RG350! I'm now a patron of yours :)

[samharing]

Thanks for the guide, ran into zero troubles and so far Retroarch hasn't frozen once since updating.
It really turns the RG350M from feeling like a homebrewn, somewhat nerdy, system into a well-rounded, streamlined and complete package.
I've switched to the Comicbook theme in your honour (and the battery indicator is super nice to have). :D

[AntonioBarba_TheKaneB]

this firmware is GOLD, my 350M instantly became my fav handheld ever when I installed the first version, I was waiting for the exit fix and now this is perfect for me. I like your theme also, very good taste!

[gordon_shumway]

Just to clarify, what you call "sections" are actually "section groups". And what you call "consoles" are actually "sections".
I say this, just so people who want to mess with the config are not confused when they find it's inside the "section_groups" folder :)

When I first installed the Adam image onmy 280V, I was stunned at how beautiful GBC played on it. The grids... made me feel like I was on my old gameboy. I love it.

At this date, this is the best channel on the subject 😱
It amazes me to see how generous you are with your audience.
Keep going.

While waiting for my RG280V to ship I've been pouring over your videos concerning Adam image and will be flashing an old 16g microSD card I had for my Note III that I found randomly in my desk drawer. Thank you for making these videos, it helps so much in learning about these devices as well as the firmware options.

[mitsudafanni]

I actually bought a RG350M because of the first video and am absolutely loving it. Can't wait upgrade to 1.2 when I get the chance.

[albertiglesias]

Thanks for this walkthrough. I can get impatient, and frustrated with following guides, but I find your instructions easy to follow and your voice calming. Thanks again. I'm absolutely loving the comic book theme on my RG350. Take Care

[RobertJohnson-pbvr]

Just installed the update to my rg350m.

Finally the system doesn't lock up when exiting games anymore. I was starting to get worried about having to hard reset the system all the time.

Thank you for the update, Sir! You're a life saver! Cheers!

[SeedyZ]

I've been playing around with the Adam image on a Powkiddy Q80 and wow it really turned that device into an amazing budget device. I can't wait to try the new Adam updates!

[NorthGameGod]

I'm using Adam several weeks since the day you announced here, and my feeling is like having a complete upgraded console. It looks so good in comparison with the poor OD default... I'm also in the telegram group of the people who created it, and they are super helpful. Best thing ever in the 350 family.

[RyeJ_]

You're my savior man, with all these amazing guides and videos. I'd been having that freezing issue a lot on the V1.1 of the Adam image on my 280V, so I'm now running V1.2, hoping this fixes it, because I love this little device.

[misterkeebler]

I'm using ADAM on the 350m and 300x and I love them both. The 350m is a bigger screen and a more traditional button layout, but I appreciate the 300x not having thumbsticks in the way since very few games it runs actually needs them. The spacious button layout of 300x has grown on me too.

[emorelama]

Wow! You really make the image looks like something. I love the chart that appears at 1:45.
I use the image in a RG280V. I have also a RG350 (original, but with the hi res screen mod) and since it has the INT card slot inside, the RG280V is more practical.
Thanks for your video. Clinical as always and nice to see.

[bfontaine]

I bought an orignal RG350, which I sold to a friend to buy the RG350P... Waiting for Skraper to finish it's job, so I can see the end result! :) Great guide, with enough details for me! I used your Rogue 1.7.10 flasher guide before, was better than the stock. Thanks a lot!

[MashTec]

Great video bro!
Appreciate the trick of removing the drive letters to get rid of the partition warnings in Windows 👍🏻

[josefoazevedo]

Really looking forward to upgrade both my 280v and 350m when I have free time. Gave them a whole new life and started using them but more often. Thanks for the excellent guide.

[turnedmyworld]

Didn't know a new firmware was out for these devices. Thanks for the information. I use my RG351P as my daily driver, but I am going to dig out my RG350M and see how well this runs on it. Especially since the RG351MP has been tempting me.
