Note: Unfortunately, you can't clone the 35XX/28XX series cards. You will need to flash a new card completely following the video.

I just received my RG35XX H. After few hours of testing I can say that stock OS is surprisingly good!

[ndMaikel]

@21:00 undo load/save state is GOLD. Didn't know that, what a lifesaver!!

[michaelbenny]

There has never been a better time for a guide since there are so many devices on this platform

[filepo]

The best video about the RG35XX H, thank you very much!!! Saved me a lot of time!!

[turkidot]

I was going to write a whole big story of my Anbernic mess of a story, but i'm going to keep it simple. Your videos are awesome. You're awesome and this video brought my handheld back to life thank you lol.

[joshrobles]

bro. THANK YOU for this video!! I been trying to watch other videos on how to update and run a 2-sd card system but this one was the best. I actually ended up deleting windows on my pc and had to get it repaired but this vid did me justice!! now I can play my RG35xxH in PEACE!

[tijnsn]

man youre doing awesome! Everybody whos into this should take some time and appreciate you for using so much time and energy for all this! I will Join your Discord after i took some time to get familiar with my new devices!

[blotoshow]

Thanks, this was a comprehensive guide no BS, I have the H a month already but now a I know how to properly use it, although I may have to revisit the video 😅

[Henry.DanhNguyen]

Thanks for your sharing. Very useful for me as a newbie in this retro game. ❤

The quality of video production is perfectly done on another level. Respectly superb quality of work, sir.

[Jsavage]

Amazing setup guide, saved me some hassle. Thanks

Stock OS is the best for RG35XX H. I have even tried R11 of MuOS but stock still wins. Everything just works on stock.

[shatrix]

This shows how OnionOS is miles ahead of any other retro firmware/OS out there!
Thanks for the guide

[loserboy]

Ok thank you. The 2024 model had me all messed up. Had to use the Firmware download for the plus! Thanks a ton for the information. I was so scared of the stock sd card crapping out at any moment since i had 2 friends that the card died day 1

[MrTomemac]

I wish this was simpler. I’m stuck on older computer hardware. This is all a nightmare.

[joepage]

256GB card makes a lot of sense if you're going to do Dreamcast games!

[klopm]

Thanks ever so much Joey, I'm a newby to this and your video guided me through it all. I even installed Batocera which is a very big improvement.
