RG35XX Plus Tutorial | How to Flash New Updated Stock OS 20231221 | 2 Card Setup

This is an updated video to my original Stock OS installation Video. This time I made sure to disable windows sounds and tried my best to make it a little easier to see. This is a 2 Card Setup ideal for keeping your games and OS separate. Anbernic keeps releasing updates, so it makes sense to separate them and make it easier on yourself to update.

Big thanks to Tom Duhamel over on reddit for creating the modified image.

What You'll Need:
-2 Micro SD Card
(One 32Gb For OS and another At least 64GB for Games)

Just wanted to thank you for making this informative and well thought out video. I was confused about how to flash and install the new firmware prior to coming across your video. But you made it very straight forward and easy to understand. My RG35XX H and plus should be arriving in the mail soon. I can’t wait

Hey there, as a new owner of that device, im in love with your channel. Can you make a video for people like me have the retro handheld for first time. Like; websites for roms, how can we upload them in device, how can make special folders for organization etc. Thank you so much!

[lpdb]

Hi, this latest update has battery display problems. Let me explain better, when you charge the battery normally up to 100% (while charging the display correctly shows you the image of the battery with 100% written on it), as soon as you unplug the console from the charger, even if the console is kept completely off ( not on standby) and you don't use it, even if only 5 minutes pass, as soon as you turn it on and check the percentage from retroarch, it shows you approximately 90%, even if in reality it is correctly 100%. From 90% onwards, if kept off, the console loses the normal percentage of approximately 1% / 2% every 24 hours (if kept off obviously, without using it). This problem is present in the December 8th, December 12th and December 21st updates, but not in the November 8th update. I contacted Anbernic and let them know everything, with all the relevant evidence and they replied that they checked with the technicians and they actually know the problem and that they will soon release a new update, even if they are not sure they will be able to solve the problem (which seems strange to me given that the first update, the one on November 8th with which the console was released, did not have the problem).

PSA: My boxart tutorial will not work for this firmware in case you were wondering. You can use scraped boxart that has not been run through imagemagick. Boxart is a little squished.

This is great Javi! Been having issues with my device rebooting.

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I was able to do this on Linux using the Gnome desktop.

Not sure if it was just me but I could not get my ROMs card to work with FAT32 on Windows 11 but exFAT works great. Awesome video thank you!

I couldn't for the life of me get the one sd card method to work. I ended up just putting the OS on a 16gb SD and the roms and bios on a separate 128gb card. Now that I think about it though it's probably better that way. Now I can use the SD card with roms and bios wherever I want.

A big thank you, everything is fine now :D

So when i got my RG35XX i accidentally formatted the SD card before getting any of the files off it including the games is there a way to get those back or am I going to have to redownload everything ?

[thebiglad]

In a pickle here, downloaded RG35XXPLUS-EN-20240118 firmware update from the anbernic website. So confused about which one to download as there are three different folders, and no guidance about which one that users ought to download. Not just that but I flashed an image to my 32gb Sandisk Extreme Pro MicroSD and now I do not know what is going on. The SD Card is not being recognised by my laptop and when plugged in via the SD Reader a notification sound goes off every few seconds like as if my laptop is trying to read the SD Card but cannot and the SD Card will not show at all on this PC when plugged in via SD Card Reader.

[melvinchumpytherd]

Hey, ive tried this. But im trying to only do the 1 card method. After doing the first step, and i put the sd card in the device so it can download the files. I put it back into my computer and it didn't download. Do you have a walk-through for one card set up?

[bbr]

You have my thanks my good sir, coudn't find the good firmware, and garlic os didn't work on my 35XX, many thanks
