Turn it on and it will go through a process. Once you see the Main Menu you have successfully installed Linux on your RG353!
PSP games also worked really well, though the God of War games still had some frame-rate issues, which made them unenjoyable to play. However, everything else I tried played great, and I really cannot complain about anything.For ArkOS on the RG351V, RG351MP, RG353M, RG353V/VS, or RG503, if SD2 is being used for roms, installation must be in /roms2/tools/. The .sh file must remain in the PortMaster folder! So you’ve got your RG353 in hand and you are ready to boot it up and start playing some retro games! But before you get started you should consider the following tips. These aren’t necessary but they could save you from a headache later on. Replace the SD cards
For those with Ubuntu based systems, you can use the Disks app to image to a 8GB micro SD card or larger. (16GB micro SD card or bigger highly recommended!) You can find that information via the ArkOS Emulators and Ports information wiki link here. If there are updates to Ports, how will that work? When it loads, open the TF2 drive. You should be able to see the following folders via Windows Explorer: I then tried Nintendo DS, the emulator used has a nice feature where I can simply press the shoulder button to skip between screens, allowing me to get fully immersed into the main gameplay. This isn’t the most fluid way to play DS games, but it’s an easy get around for a console that has just one screen. Emulation performance was solid. Note: For ArkOS on the RG351V or RG351MP, if SD2 is being used for roms, unzip the port to the /roms2/ports folder instead and copy the PortMaster folder to the /roms2/tools location. A few additional ports are available on the large releases repo ( https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-Releases/releases) due to their size (ex. SuperTux, Ur Quan Masters, and FreedroidRPG). How do I get more info about the ports in this repo like the sources used and additional asset needs if applicable?Instead of retyping information that’s already available elsewhere, let me help you find them instead! Here are some links that can help you with an RG351P and RG351V related concern or question.
Some disc-based systems will have multi-disc games. When playing these games, they may prompt you to insert the next disc. Here are the instructions on how to do this. After completed burning with RUFUS, remove SD card from computer and put it into Slot 1 of the RG353.The Linux OS runs a combination of Emulation Station and RetroArch to provide a wealth of gaming options on many classic game’s consoles from the 1970’s to more modern day on the RG353M. The Android OS requires some setting up but ultimately provides a wider range of computers and consoles to relive the classics on. You can also go the third route by installing a custom firmware on a SD card to use on the handheld gaming console which provides over 90 classic systems to choose from! The RG353M is also a dual OS device, with the ability to easily switch between Android 11 and Linux systems. For the RG353M, I would recommend the latter OS as the 3.5”, 4:3 screen aspect ratio is apt for the systems it emulates well while the screen can feel rather restrictive for Android games. In addition, Google Play is not pre-installed on the device, which is a downer as this has been a perpetuating issue in the RG353 devices and the company still hasn’t provided a workaround. This means you’ll need to individually have to install APKs of emulators or games you wish to run on the Android side and it’s just extra hassle. Using Win32 Disk Imager, flash the firmware image to the microSD card. This can take 10-15 minutes. Once the Linux OS has booted up for the first time and everything has been configured, making your way around is pretty straight forward. This distribution is very close to JELOS in terms of emulators being configurable and being lightweight, however, as custom development continues separately from the original OS you can expect it to start to diverge more.
Great Deal
