In last weeks show we took a look at the stock RS-97 Retro Game console from China. To be honest, it wasn't very good. In this weeks show I'll show you how to mod it and turn it in to a pretty cool gaming system.

Hey! That Rockbot game that appears on Dingux was made by me 😃
Had no idea it runs on this device, I ported it to Dingux for A320 Dingoo. That was funny.

I got everything working and I've been trying the different emulators. This thing is amazing. Really do recommend everyone pick one of these up.

I just wanted to say thanks for this video. I loved this machine when I first saw, but was a bit disappointed with the sound when playing GBA games. After following your detailed instructions, I am much happier with performance of this machine. Thank you very much for your work and renewing my appreciation for this machine.

Was looking for a replacement for my dingoo a320, and this tutorial really helped with my decision to grab a RS-97. Thanks!

More work than I thought to make this machine good. I just bought one (actually came with internal 16gb!) but omg, the default installed emulators are even more horrible than even other systems (dingoo 320, gemei a330) that happened to come with preloaded emulators already. Hopefully I can manage to upgrade the firmware and add the software from the community soon enough.

Thanks for uploading video. I was curious about actual improvement over original firmware and you covered it all.

I want a Retro Core "Utta Crap" T-Shirt :D. enjoyed video

Update. I just got mine the other day. They have recently upgraded their software and UI. It is actually much better and more customizable now.

NIce guide. Ended up getting the device because of it. My wallet is never safe while watching your review videos.

This tutorial was SUPER helpful. My RS-97 is on its way and I'm definitely upgrading it this way!

Do any of you guys know of a tutorial on how to upgrade the d-pad for fighting games?

[bigemugamer]

AWESOME! please do this with MORE ultra cheep Chinese consoles!

[ricardomunoz]

thanks for this video made putting on cfw so much easier!

i will try this, looks awesome, also theres a better option i think the PSP with the analogs is the best retroconsole nowadays

[AndreasGoettsche]

5:51: is there the battery inside ? when i insert the battery the console starts. then the screen comes white and nothing happens - what is that?

[kbhasi]

4:29 I'm very sure that's just a re-skin of the old "EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition" (before it became a fully paid software), as the interface appears to be the same, but flatter (ugh), and opens similar advertising junk. Just go to the program folder and run the "Main" executable, then delete the "...News" executable (after terminating it), and there's another executable that opens that intro window.

However, outside of Windows, I'm sure GParted, GNOME Disks, and/or KDE Partition Manager may work.

Nothing wrong with Area 88's arcade music :P awesome video mate :)

@retro core The new CFW 1.2 is out and awesome! Fixes a lot of emulator problems including my beloved NES!

[TheMrMaynard]

Nice job Mark! Guess I'll need to snag one soon.

If you get a blinking white screen don't fret it means you have the new model. Download the new image from mega the one called. opendingux _RS97_v2.1 LCD SCREEN ONLY.img. took me all day to work out

Thank you for a such a detailed review! But all software you linked is for windows. Is it possible to do same things on Mac OS?
