Batocera Lite keeps getting better…

The latest Batocera Lite update for the RG35XX is now available thanks to the developer Acmeplus, and you can download it from their github: https://ko-fi.com/post/Batocera-Lite-for-RG35XX-Alpha-Test-0- 3-P5P0JRWBZ.

Although there are still many things that do not work, many others have already been corrected, and thanks to the unlocked GPU, and other memory adjustments, things have improved a lot. To such an extent that they are watching videos of users who are already testing Dreamcast, Nintendo 64 and Playstation Portable games!!; Logically, the titles that it can run are the lightest and easiest to emulate, but it’s great news for everyone to see what our little console is capable of…

Batocera Lite it’s Ready for Testing…

The first alpha release of Batocera Lite for the RG35XX is here for testing. Note that this version has limited Batocera functionality, but should be functional enough for testing.

ChangeLog:

  • First batocera lite build
  • Power button now works (although it may restart in some cases)
  • Volume controls work
  • Brightness controls work with MENU + Volume +/Volume –
  • It’s possible to switch to RetroArch boot (instead of emulationstation) by adding a file named startRA at the top of the second sdcard. Remove the file to boot again into EmulationStation.

Note: there’s an issue impacting some models that leaves the haptic motor running. In some cases removing the sdcard, resetting, inserting the sdcard and resetting solves the problem temporarily.

Batocera on RG35XX & GPU Unlocked!!

     After updating some themes, preparing the wiki for the website, and publishing the entry about the GMU music player, before going to sleep, reviewing the conversations on Reddit and Discord, I come across the news that gives this title entrance. The user ACMEPLUS, shows us on his twitter, images of Batocera running on the RG35XX and as if that were not enough, he informs us that the console’s GPU has been unlocked! I don’t know if it makes me more excited to know that Batocera is going to work on the RG35XX or that the GPU has been unlocked, which means that the power of the console is going to increase exponentially…

MinUi available now for RG35XX

     The new Custom Firmware, also based on Retroarch, is called MinUi, and it already had its version on other consoles like the Miyoo Mini, and now we can enjoy it on our consoles.

It is based on simplicity above all, without overloading the view with too many images or themes, and that is focused on the emulation of desktop and portable consoles, leaving out arcade machines, computer-based systems and others… It has a Tools option, where we can have installed useful applications that are being developed.

The development of this CFW is carried out by Shaun Inman, and you can get it from our Firmwares page.

Apps, Ports, Icons, Buttons, Firmwares, Updates…

     Since the GarlicOs Custom Firmware appeared, the scene around the RG35XX console has not stopped growing, and from here we try to collect everything and have it accessible to everyone who needs it, but there are so many things, that we are going little by little. We leave you a summary of everything new, and what is to come:

– Apps: From version 1.0.5 of CFW GarlicOs, we have the possibility of using third-party applications developed to work with the operating system, on the web we have a new section available where we will publish the APPS that we find, you can visit it from >HERE<
– Ports: Also from 1.05 we can also enjoy Ports that the developers compile for the operating system, and here we will also have a section available where we will publish everything that comes out. >HERE<
– Icons: After trying several themes/skins we realized that many system icons were missing from those themes and we decided to create the missing ones ourselves. We almost have them ready, and we will publish them shortly on a new page so that you can use them in your favorite themes.
– Buttons: We already have some Improved Trigger Buttons to be able to change the triggers of our consoles printed in 3D Resin, at a reasonable price and shipping. In Black and White colors. We are creating a STORE page so you can order them.
– Firmwares: In the Firmwares section, we have a new option based on GarlicOs and that works mainly on Retroarch without more! Maybe you want to try MustardOs?
– Updates: Thanks to the Screenshots App, we have improved our Themes Section for GarlicOs, now with animated Gifs to better see the available themes, and we are correcting some of them that are not working correctly. We hope to have them all available soon.

And soon, more things…

Video Player Coming Soon…

     Today from the twitter account of Black Seraph, the developer of GarlicOs, we have been able to see a preview of a feature that many of us have been waiting for, (I personally have been trying to make a player work for weeks), so we are in luck!!
The tweet that accompanies the following video says:

Video playback support coming soon.
Load it up with a season of SpongeBob and the kids will be happy.
