RG35XX - Get the most out of the handheld

Pending things…

April 6, 2023April 6, 2023RG35XX_Admin5 Comments

First of all I want to send a greeting to the EOL community, I know they read us, (I read you too!)

As I have already commented on some occasion, this community that has formed on Reddit and Discord around this console is causing many things to appear about it on a daily basis; Firmware updates almost daily, Themes, Apps, Boot Screen, and more!

From RG35XX.COM we try to keep up to date and report on everything we see as the most relevant, but for us this is a hobby and we dedicate just a little while each day, and sometimes we don’t have time for more, but little by little we are updating everything. Now we have a few days off in Spain, my country, and I will take the opportunity to catch up with the themes and boot logos that you have been sending us, as well as optimizing the existing ones.

We are also going to create a guide with the necessary adjustments in RetroArch to be able to enjoy each CORE as faithful to the original console that we are emulating whenever possible, since many people are tired of making changes in configurations here and there once and again and what they really want is to PLAY and not fidget so much. We are going to try to make it easy so that you only have to do it once!

And meanwhile, for the most gamers, we leave you here links for a couple of interesting things:No introduction is needed, an impressive collection of games thanks to EBZero and that we have added to our Bios and Roms section.

We also leave you a RomHack that is very fashionable lately for the MedaDrive/Genesis console, since unfortunately we cannot use the official version on the RG35XX, but it will delight fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, (Ninja Turtles) :

Also available in our Bios and Roms section.

More Updates…

Since the last update of the site we have had problems to edit the tables and files, but we have already solved it.

In this short period of time, GarlicOs has received 4 more updates, with several changes, and the developers have been updating their APPS and PORTS, to continue making them compatible.
XQuader and eggs have notified us and provided the updates that you already have available, and we have added a column in which to view the compatible versions.
JoeStaff brings us another Port, from the mythical Jazz Jackrabbit, for which we will need to have the game’s installation files, but surely they are on Archive.org… 😉

In addition, we are filling the TV section with content with RETRO series that we are converting to be able to enjoy them on our console and that we take advantage of to share with all of you. (They are our personal taste, but you still like them or coincide with yours).

We will continue to add themes, and update existing ones for better compatibility and performance.

Changes in the latest version of GarlicOs 1.3.5

March 27, 2023March 27, 2023RG35XX_Admin5 Comments

The latest version of the GarlicOs Custom Firmware, version 1.3.5, contains a substantial improvement in the system and with RetroArch, but on the other hand makes it incompatible with other things, which developers will have to solve in Ports and Apps. This is what the changelog indicates:

– The gamepad driver has been rewritten from scratch and now acts like a proper XInput gamepad (this fixes the double-keyboard input issue in all keyboard-based cores, the RA search dialog and several other RA text input menu points but will break ports & apps with hardcoded gamepad mappings, because of this, a mirror of version 1.3.4 will be kept up for a month to give port and app developers time to adapt to these changes).

For his part, the XQuader Developer has already done his homework, and has updated all his Ports and Apps to make them compatible with this latest version, so if you have already updated to GarlicOs 1.3.5, you should also update these Ports and Apps to continue to function as before.

Weekend updates…

Batocera Lite keeps getting better…

March 25, 2023March 25, 2023RG35XX_AdminLeave a comment

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…

And another Great Port!

XQuader has done it again! The developer has managed to make the port work in the operating system, and we can easily play it from GarlicOs!!

Available now at our Ports section!

New Port Available

Thanks to the work of the developer XQuader, since the last version of GarlicOs, 1.3.2, the REminiscence core already works correctly, to be able to play the port of the Flashback Graphic Adventure.

Now available in our Ports section, but remember to update your GarlicOs custom firmware first 😉

Batocera Lite it’s Ready for Testing…

March 17, 2023March 17, 2023RG35XX_Admin1 Comment

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.

Download and release notes: rg35xx_batocera_lite_alpha_v0.2

Report bugs here and provide feedback on the official page of acmeplus.

This is what Batocera looks like working

Batocera on RG35XX & GPU Unlocked!!

March 5, 2023March 5, 2023RG35XX_Admin2 Comments

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…
