The RG35XX Plus Upgraded (Sort of) - Garlic OS 2.0

The RG35XX is a phenomenal retro handheld that's truly blown me away with what it can do. With its predecessor, Garlic OS seemed like a must-have. This time around, Garlic OS 2.0 shows a lot of potential. Some features are missing in this alpha build, but it shows promise. Here, we'll show you how to install Garlic OS 2.0 onto your RG35XX, get it up and running, and talk about what you can and can't do with it.

11:30 it's a feature from version 1. A single push on power will save your current game state and immediately shutdown the device. Long press power and you're back into where you've left within a very few seconds. Garlic OS boots so fast (7s on the RG35XX) that it's more efficient to just fully shutdown rathe than leaving the device on sleep. Had to comment since I personally do love that feature. Great videos!

My RG35XX Plus just arrived in the mail, glad to see a video uploaded today about Garlic OS 2.0 . I was curious about it

[Ryandty]

I ordered mine yesterday can’t wait for it to come!

[smthrdhp]

I just ordered one yesterday. I'm confident Black Seraph will get this tip top soon enough.
Can't wait to be playing some Skull Monkeys and Super Metroid on my breaks at work

My 2nd Anbernic that I just won the bid on eBay. Love the Vertical layout. My 1st Anbernic is the blue metal rg353m which I bought used on marketplace for $50 in mint. I like it but I prefer the vertical rg35xx plus that reminds me of my gameboy.

I have to be missing something.. I've done every step and i'm only getting BOOT, ROMS, and SAVE but not what you have (missing library and retroarch)... Please help I am so frustrated :(

[ronnyverminck]

Nice video.
Is there a way to choose where to boot from or is it only Garlic OS after this installation?

[NIkolasi]

I did everything like you but once i'm in garlic os, each time i go to a menu the console turns off. Do you have a solution?

[orinoco]

I updated mine to the new garlic and I only needed one card and is great

Informative video. Like your speech cadence and editing and video quality. I have a 35 xx

Hi, has anyone encountered such an issue? I have the RG35XX version. I chose to change the system on the original included card, and garlic os is installed by default. After that, the console is bricked. I tried installing other system versions on different cards, but it doesn't boot up.

[yeraibertolinarchs]

when you insert the second sd card in the tf2 slot the first time after putting all we need to install garlicos, do u have the original sd card inside the first slot?

[vonverna]

I have everything installed and it seems fine, other than the fact that whenever i press the a button it crashes and shuts off. Is there any idea on how to fix this?

[franknberries]

Question - I have the non plus version, the RG35XX. Can I follow these steps for that device as well?

[iRealized]

HELP! I did exactly like what you taught but my device is stuck at the anbernic loading screen and froze. rechecked everything in sd1 and sd2 and all files are in the correct location. then i deleted the files 3 files and 1 folder from the root folder of sd1, removed sd2 in hopes that i can boot it up normally but now my devices only stuck at loading screen. How??

[fmaylinch]

I have a question: I started a ZX Spectrum game and controls don't work. I guess I have to map keys (OPQA etc) to the device inputs. Do you know how to do it? Thanks!

Btw, I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly in my RG35XXH, thanks so much!

[Bouxit]

So i follow all these steps. get everything on the right SD card, make the correct folders, extract the correct zip etc, but when i boot i still get Stoc OS and not Garlic?

Hello, my rgxx35 + doesn't boot on garlic OS. I followed all the steps, when i turn it on i see it boots 2 times so probably trying to boot on TF2 but it doesn't work after all it boots on anbernic and not garlic. Do you have any idea why ?

[MaXiThe]

If an updated version of garlic OS comes out, wil I be able to download that and keep al my games and save files?
