Thank you for saying that! This one really was a labor of love, I’m happy I got it out before Christmas. I’m totally doing a few short videos next, I swear!
Clearly the new best channel of the year. Detailed explanations, a calm and nice voice, extreme interesting topics. Hope to see many more videos and comparisons for the best upcoming handhelds in 2k21! Thank you and keep up the amazing quality 😀👍🏼!!
I cant believe how much Ive learned from this channel in one day. Been out of the emulation game for yrs, so such a great refresher. Just ordered my rg351m and really looking forward to tapping into it’s potential
My system is actually being delivered in a few hours... Perfect timing for a vid like this... Gives me time to set it up with prefered method for my daughter before Christmas... 👍
I've learned so much in such a short amount of time. Went from total noob to now King Noob thanks to all your very helpful vids. Got 2 devices shipping to me soon and got a whole plan on what to do thanks to you. Very much appreciate your detail and effort you put in, it's very noticeable.
@@Ginger445 I know of this but have so far not tested it. Just tested final ArkOS from a ready image. It's awesome but didn't have all of the new ports so looking to do all of the setup on a clean card for AmberELEC as well. Worth the effort (have still not tried Celeste or Timespinner and both look awesome + it has Space Cadet Pinball... That's a classic)?
This channel has been hugely helpful to me as someone relatively new to this emulation handheld scene. More than all of the other channels I've watched, it feels like you put a heavy emphasis on laying out a simplified explanation of the topic you are going over so viewers can be fully aware of all the different variables. I'm looking forward to the content you put out next year!
Thanks for your kind words! Yes, I plan on always making my guides as accessible as possible, because I remember getting so confused when I got my RG350 over this past summer. I'm happy to hear that it was helpful for you!
I was looking for the best way to make sure every time I turned on this system I'd have a nostalgic trip. The ArkOS guide was all I needed and the perfect way to customize the UI. This video alone won my like and subscription. PHENOMENAL.
I recently got an RG351P and the options around firmware a pretty daunting, so much so I've just left it stock (on a new branded card 🙂) at the moment. This video has been a great help and I'm now on the verge of choosing one (probably 351ELEC). Thanks, love the channel.
Your videos really got subtance! Unlike other channels that only does product review cheap talks. I thank you for your hard work and great contrubutions to the retro gamers community. I hope you have many more subscribers. Highly appreciate it.
The amount of effort that went into making these video, it's incredible we're watching it for free. I'm gonna be getting one of these soon. Can't wait!!
Just an excellent video and concisely orated and presented. This is the best new Retro Gaming Channel on RUclips. I've been gaming for 45 years. Excellent work good Sir!
@@RetroGameCorps Thanks! Holy crap! Well the effort shows, it's thorough and quite the long video. Felt like I was watching a full tv episode, but just about retro gaming 😁👍
Dude I've been loving your videos lately. Just discovered your channel and I'm loving the steady flow of quality videos. Your voice is calm, you explain things in a succinct, yet detailed way, and you don't do the whole "like and subscribe" thing. Can't wait to see a few updates for the RG351V.
I'm hoping that one of the future updates of ArkOS includes optimized default screen settings... Fingers crossed! Thanks again for taking the time to make these videos, you are an asset to the community! :)
Because of this channel I have finally decided to get an emulator hand-held I bought this model mostly because of these videos. I am still nervous about swapping the default for one of these open source because I have never done anything like this before. Nervous and excited at the same time. Finally a way to play my classic games without taking my old systems out of storage. 🤯
Dude as always thanks for your work! I’ve really been enjoying my 351p with ArkOS. It’s been so smooth with your guides!! I’ve been working on a 128gb micro sd, but might take the plunge and get a 1tb!
@@RetroGameCorps I sure will! Right now I’m using a smaller sd card to do things like chop down my mame set, complete my collections of Roms, and test configurations/games/translations etc, so that once I finally get the 1 tb one next month all I have to do is load and play! A tb easily covers every system that the 351p can play perfectly with room to spare!
Haha, that's a solid plan. Did you see the 351M pic that leaked the other day? Looks to have the same screen and buttons as the 351P, I'm hoping they fixed the internal WiFi issue at the very least.
@@RetroGameCorps I did indeed! :) Hopefully they maintain the screen aspect ratio of 3:2 (for that perfect GBA scaling) but double the resolution just like the transition from RG350 to RG350M and if they add an internal wifi, that would be even more perfect!
I've only ever modded my own consoles -- like 5+ years ago lmao -- and I've just gotten back into gaming after a long period where I couldn't, so I really appreciate this video -- and the presentation of the information, especially! Instant sub. Very helpful, thank you ♡♡♡
Thanks for the video and very clear. I am using Batocera 5.29 for few days (I got my R351P a week ago) and looks fine at the moment. Will try ArkOS for sure. Great job !!
I know this is an older video but the pineapple forrest update for 351elec is super nice. Adding roms, saves, and more over samba share is freakishly smooth.
I think you forgot to add one thing, ArkOS developer (christian_haitian) is often found in the 351ELEC discord and you can talk to him if you have any problems. On the other hand, Fewt, the most active and main developer in 351ELEC, is a really friendly guy, it gives almost a customized support, you can talk to him on discord and if you find any bugs he often fixes it within minutes. He's been uploading code to github everyday, he's a monster! at this point, you'll probably know, I like 351elec best because of the great community it has with a HQ OS.
hi. thanks a lot for your videos. it shows several aspects of operating systems. the drawback is that you go maybe a bit quickly in them and didn't notice some points. i know for example batocera and you can choose the partition you want in option (exfat, ext4 and even btrfs). About the big high number of boards available on the batocera website, take a look, and you'll notice that windows/mac/nuc ... images link to the same file. in fact, this is only for x86 64 bits. As a general rules, batocera is a unique system, compiled for many boards, and the work done on one board is available on others. last but not least, i'm involving in the batocera work, and i play with my rg351p, and i have no trouble on it ; my guess is that you used tools like paragon on your sdcard that transform sd card to unstable sd card and make you feel that you system is buggy (this is the only reported crash issues on this board). maybe i'm wrong, but it is generally with such tooling that crashes are known to appear.
So well organized and very informative! I also am sticking with ArkOS since I get an update almost every day :) I just hope that developper can implement couple more popular themes from ES community.. such as SNES Mini. But overall, I'm really happy with it!
351ELEC now has ota updates, and a pretty large and active development community. Better identification of bugs and tweaks, and addition of new features, when you have a group of people working on it instead of 1 developer. v2.0 is coming out soon, and will be Batocera-based. You can also choose to update with the latest stable release or the latest beta (which may be buggy). With all the presets optimized for individual systems/emulators on 351ELEC, I don't see any advantage to staying with ArkOS.
Very infomative as always - Thank you! I like the idea of ArkOS being more of a Linux distro. I would love a SyncThing client for it - Being able to sync saves to my PCs retroarch would be amazing.
Totally agree. I would love to have it wirelessly, like to store the save files/states on a Google Drive folder, and then sync that with my PC RetroArch seamlessly! But I don't think we're there yet.
@@RetroGameCorps I think I have found my project for the holidays. ArkOS supports terminal/SSH. SyncThing can be installed through the terminal. You then connect to the webpage SyncThing creates on the RG351 to configure what folders you want to sync. It seems like it can be done.
Another update: Think I might uninstall it. I set my screenshots folder up for sync as well. While testing, Retroarch crashed everything I took a screenshot. So yeah, we might not be there yet 😀
As a note, you can use a USB Ethernet adapter with the USB-C Adapter. I use an Anker USB3.0 LAN Dongle and it works. Super fast transfer speeds. You don't need to enable wifi, just look under Network Settings and it shows connected and the IP. Just an FYI. :)
Good to know! I have one on order to test, happy to hear the confirmation. I got the Anker one too, because I almost always get Anker stuff when I have a choice :)
@19:00 who remembers the old DOOM FU wad (around 1996ish) with samples from Tarantino movies? When you killed demons they would say lines from the movie that obviously had "FU" in it.
@@RetroGameCorps my older bro and few of his buddies had a "dotcom" back in the 90s located in Venice CA, I was about 14. When I'd visit all the programers (4 college nerds) and I would play doom all day via LAN. It was so amazing to me, the best line used was the scene where that guy came out shooting while they're eating big kahuna burgers, "die you mfers, die!" The dotcom failed like most others unfortunately.
Thanks for this info. For anyone new to the 351 - its really helpful. I could not really find the home of ArkOS on the web, with reference to an old linux OS being shown more than the version for 351 - maybe you could link in description - anyway, much appreciated - very helpful stuff!!
Fantastic content. Really informative and well explained. For me I want to download new firmware easily and get simple updates as and when as that takes me the most time and optimising my gaming experience I guess is the main point for me using new firmware....
I was decided to wait for RG352 or 351M to get N64 and PSP emulation but it's really impressive how the community improved this device in a few months. Even God of War is kinda playable.
I was definitely surprised at how well some games performed on the PSP, I had honestly given up on some of them. This new patch is a real game-changer (pun intended).
Heads up, follow all of his guides if you want you portables running as smoothly as possible. Also heads up for anyone buying an RG351p for n64 or Dreamcast, if there is a playstation version of a game you want to play go with playstation. Some Dreamcast and n64 games run perfectly, some run fine, but most cross platform games are way more playable on psx. All super retro games run great and PSP games are hit and miss, but when they hit they run perfectly. I would recommend Daxter, GTA Vice City Stories, Monster Hunter Freedom 2, DBZ Shin Budokai Another Road for PSP. They all run great.
im on manjaro so i have no issues acessing my files with batocera and the psp emulation is really amazing , night and day on .29 compared to all other firmware . my only con on batocera is no sleep mode, not perfect, but not "buggy" from what i've exprienced, plays everything pretty well.
I'm glad you aren't seeing the bugs I have...when you try and change the RetroArch menu driver does everything crash? And is your battery indicator accurate? I agree that the PSP emulation is great, but yesterday's updates to ArkOS and 351ELEC now have the same performance, which is awesome!
@@RetroGameCorps ohh then ill give ark os a try its true that the battery indication isnt always accurate, i havent had the retro arch crash yet. thanks for the videos though they've been very helpful
Guy says a lot of things that I just am saying "right on man" right along with him, Like having everything running, have low expectations for new age games, and if you love some new gen game just buy it already... my home is mostly scratched disks Im just focused on getting some rarities from the import market I missed through my lifetime, some have even been translated in the last 2-5 years and it's fantastic to see loads screens I never seen B4.
As far as emulation performance goes, there is practically no difference anymore between the firmwares as they have all figured out by now which emulation cores work best for the RG351 and the RK3326 devices in general.
Just a heads-up: Batocera DOES in fact have a games partition. It's an ext4 (Linux) partition that autoexpands to fill the SD card, but ext4 partitions are hidden in Windows and not supported well in Mac OS. If your desktop machine is Linux you can see it straightaway. If you have Windows you have to use a tool like Partition Magic to open it before being able to copy files to it. I use Batocera and find it easiest to just FTP into it to copy games over...
Thanks for the tip! I also just learned that you can actually create an exFAT partition in the Batocera menu options; I've added instructions in my written guide.
@@RetroGameCorps thanks ! Which guide are u talking about? I’m interested to try batocera on my rg351p, I saw that batocera has extra features to run better some games than with arkos.
@@quickeneen the written guide linked below this video has the new Batocera instructions. I will say that the improvements that Batocera had (N64 and PSP) have now been implemented in ArkOS as of this week, so there isn't really a performance difference at this point. These firmwares update so quickly!
@@RetroGameCorps ah oki thanks! i though it was de dedicated guide to batocera. yep, so great that firmware are updated quickly , impressive work of these teams. great work also for you, thanks for sharing !!
I had tones of problems with 351elec on the rg351v, it started to freezing all the time, would never wake up from sleep, then the second SD card slot died, battery started to die really fast, it go to the point that leaving it changed over night would say I had 20% battery when I would remove the USB cable. The battery and SD card slot problem fallowed when I changed to arkos, original firmware also had this problem, i was able to find the battery problem by removing the battery from the main board for 10 seconds and plugging it back in, the SD card is still defective, no os can read or write to it.. I have a rg351p running arkos and it doesn't have this problem. It's possible the SD card problem is a hardware problem, but every thing happened aster one of the last updates 351elec put out.
Can anyone help me out here: a big plus of the stock software for me was the tracking of my playtime on each game. I can’t find that on ArkOS. Am I missing it somewhere?

I've got a question: aren't RetroPie or Recal Box available for the RG351M?
Fantastic content. Really informative and well explained. For me I want to download new firmware easily and get simple updates as and when as that takes me the most time and optimising my gaming experience I guess is the main point for me using new firmware....
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video dude keep up the good work
Thank you!
Very good explanation thanks!
Thanks for this very informative video.
This video was a work of art right here
awesome, as always. thanks!
My pleasure!
Are there are firmwares/os' that lets you use moonlight or Steamlink? Thanks :)
Would love to know this too, seems like ArkOS might make it possible but I'm not sure how hard it would be to recompile
I’m getting a RG351P and am thinking of playing shmups (Mame) im concerned about input delay. Which of these ones would you recommend?
All of these firmwares use the latest emulation cores, where input lag is no issue anymore.
I was decided to wait for RG352 or 351M to get N64 and PSP emulation but it's really impressive how the community improved this device in a few months. Even God of War is kinda playable.
I was definitely surprised at how well some games performed on the PSP, I had honestly given up on some of them. This new patch is a real game-changer (pun intended).
Awesome video and very informative. I'm camp ArkOS all the way, and can't wait for future apps like media players and photo viewers.
It's amazing how much ArkOS has improved over the past month alone. Excited to see what the next month has in store!
this is really helpfull..thank you so much.
You're very welcome!
Heads up, follow all of his guides if you want you portables running as smoothly as possible. Also heads up for anyone buying an RG351p for n64 or Dreamcast, if there is a playstation version of a game you want to play go with playstation. Some Dreamcast and n64 games run perfectly, some run fine, but most cross platform games are way more playable on psx. All super retro games run great and PSP games are hit and miss, but when they hit they run perfectly. I would recommend Daxter, GTA Vice City Stories, Monster Hunter Freedom 2, DBZ Shin Budokai Another Road for PSP. They all run great.
im on manjaro so i have no issues acessing my files with batocera and the psp emulation is really amazing , night and day on .29 compared to all other firmware . my only con on batocera is no sleep mode, not perfect, but not "buggy" from what i've exprienced, plays everything pretty well.
I'm glad you aren't seeing the bugs I have...when you try and change the RetroArch menu driver does everything crash? And is your battery indicator accurate? I agree that the PSP emulation is great, but yesterday's updates to ArkOS and 351ELEC now have the same performance, which is awesome!
@@RetroGameCorps ohh then ill give ark os a try its true that the battery indication isnt always accurate, i havent had the retro arch crash yet. thanks for the videos though they've been very helpful
This video is great, thanks for that
Glad you liked it!
Man! Is legendary!
Guy says a lot of things that I just am saying "right on man" right along with him, Like having everything running, have low expectations for new age games, and if you love some new gen game just buy it already... my home is mostly scratched disks
Im just focused on getting some rarities from the import market I missed through my lifetime, some have even been translated in the last 2-5 years and it's fantastic to see loads screens I never seen B4.
Hey Russ, any idea what the Batocera optimization is like for 351 devices now in 2022? Just wondering how far it's come along since this video.
As far as emulation performance goes, there is practically no difference anymore between the firmwares as they have all figured out by now which emulation cores work best for the RG351 and the RK3326 devices in general.
Just a heads-up: Batocera DOES in fact have a games partition. It's an ext4 (Linux) partition that autoexpands to fill the SD card, but ext4 partitions are hidden in Windows and not supported well in Mac OS. If your desktop machine is Linux you can see it straightaway. If you have Windows you have to use a tool like Partition Magic to open it before being able to copy files to it. I use Batocera and find it easiest to just FTP into it to copy games over...
Thanks for the tip! I also just learned that you can actually create an exFAT partition in the Batocera menu options; I've added instructions in my written guide.
@@RetroGameCorps thanks ! Which guide are u talking about? I’m interested to try batocera on my rg351p, I saw that batocera has extra features to run better some games than with arkos.
@@quickeneen the written guide linked below this video has the new Batocera instructions. I will say that the improvements that Batocera had (N64 and PSP) have now been implemented in ArkOS as of this week, so there isn't really a performance difference at this point. These firmwares update so quickly!
@@RetroGameCorps ah oki thanks! i though it was de dedicated guide to batocera. yep, so great that firmware are updated quickly , impressive work of these teams. great work also for you, thanks for sharing !!
Thanks for the video! I will buy rg351p early in January when I have enough fundings to purchase one 😅
Good choice!
Thank you! Nice video) 👍
Thanks for watching!
Can you tell me where you're getting your ROMs from? I don't understand how to pull the games from EMUELEC to my stock 64GB card to my sandisk 128GB
I had tones of problems with 351elec on the rg351v, it started to freezing all the time, would never wake up from sleep, then the second SD card slot died, battery started to die really fast, it go to the point that leaving it changed over night would say I had 20% battery when I would remove the USB cable. The battery and SD card slot problem fallowed when I changed to arkos, original firmware also had this problem, i was able to find the battery problem by removing the battery from the main board for 10 seconds and plugging it back in, the SD card is still defective, no os can read or write to it.. I have a rg351p running arkos and it doesn't have this problem. It's possible the SD card problem is a hardware problem, but every thing happened aster one of the last updates 351elec put out.
Can anyone help me out here: a big plus of the stock software for me was the tracking of my playtime on each game. I can’t find that on ArkOS. Am I missing it somewhere?
