MAME name resolution is now done via hash tables for an additional speed boost (~3000 files in ~2 seconds) Normal2x is now the default filter for most cores (sharpest looking pixels we can afford while still using most of the screen real estate) Cores that don't support savestates will now display a message indicating so in the recent game menu

Resident evil 2: Create a RE2 folder, put RE2CD1.chd and RE2CD2.chd there, create RE2.m3u file on PS folder, inside it you insert: Start Disk Genius and extend the "ROMS" (FAT32) partition of the SD (you should see a 3.2GB partition, followed by "Free" space) to as large as it'll go, to fill the SD card:

The hardware-accelerated linear scaler is now set as the default scaler for every core (this translates to a free 20% performance boost & universal tearing fix pretty much)

There are several Windows-based tools we are going to use to ensure the smoothest installation possible. So before getting started, go through this list and install these (free) applications to your computer. In addition, each ROM folder will have a *.Missing.Serial.txt file - this file contains ROMS that weren't known to skraper. HDMI Adapter The HDMI port on the rg35xx is a Mini HDMI port. To use the HDMI, get a "Mini HDMI Male to HDMI Female Cable" and plug one end into the 35xx, and the other end into a standard HDMI cable. Tech Info Core Mappings Yes, you can play a port of Super Mario 64 on the RG35XX! You will need to be running GarlicOS and have a copy of the Super Mario 64 ROM file.

Finally, I would recommend that you build your ROM library now, if you haven’t already. The device comes with a bunch of games, but they are poorly organized, in the Chinese language, or just outright buggy. Make a folder called “ROMS” or something like it, and make distinct folders for each of the systems you would like to play on your device. I recommend naming your game folders after the “Rom Folder” names found in this guide, because that’s how they’ll be organized on your device when using GarlicOS. For best results, unzip your files with the exception of Arcade/NeoGeo titles. Powering off now behaves identically in both the GarlicOS menu & RetroArch (tapping the power button is enough now) Fixed a game launch error caused by single quotes in filenames (revised to deal with some shell quirks) Screenshots are now written to disk synchronously regardless of whether threaded rendering is enabled or not (this is required to ensure the auto savestate screenshots are written to disk in time before exiting RetroArch)

Added a (Google Translated) Chinese localization (to test the CJK font, feel free to send in a better one) If you find that one of your MAME roms isn't showing a friendly name, it might not be in this list! RetroArch Overlays Threaded rendering is now disabled by default to further reduce input latency where possible (except for PS1 & arcade cores which need threaded rendering to reach full speed) However typically PS games are in .bin format and are saved in folders because even single disk games will have at least two associated files i.e. the .bin files and the .cue file. For multi disk games, where there is a .bin file and a .cue file for each disk, and potentially a .m3u file to handle multi disk operation, the problem is exacerbated. Switched to the conservative governor and applied a few governor related tweaks to ensure the CPU will scale smoothly between CPU states as needed (this will improve battery life as well as reduce potential stutter)It is possible to add boxart to the RG35XX menus in GarlicOS, but the current implementation is a little inelegant. I would consider this part of the guide to be intermediate, since it requires installation of special tools and using command line. But it’s kind of fun, too. Special thanks to Retro Handhelds discord user Waffles for some of the tips below, and there is also this handy guide on GitHub. A lot of the posts in this subs are about very known issues or common questions, which can be found with a small search, but anyway, I think that would be nice a small FAQ to help newcommers. Yeah, RetroGameCorp already has a good guide, but I want to add a bit of information and some peculiarities. If you think that it's helpful, please upvote the post, if you find some error or want to add something, just tell me on the comments. Have a good read! Moved the recent game history file location to Saves/CurrentProfile/lists (which allows us to load OnionOS history files from the TF2 card slot) CFW/retroarch/.retroarch/retroarch.cfg has paths to interesting files and folders, e.g. content_favorites_path = ":/.retroarch/content_favorites.lpl"
