In terms of size it's smaller than the RG353V and bigger than the Miyoo Mini.

Here's a handy chart of the GarlicOS hotkeys. Brightness adjust also works in-game.
- impoze on 11/05/2023 - 10:52
  
  if you hold the menu button, it' gives you this on the device.
  - bamzero on 11/05/2023 - 11:13
    
    True, the in-game ones though I didn't realise until finding out there was hotkeys at all :)
    I had accidentally overclocked too, was wondering why the battery icon was showing pluses.
- impoze on 11/05/2023 - 22:16
  
  There is no 16GB only 64 or 64+128
  
  But regardless not to be used anyway

How do you setup the device outside the box initially?
- impoze on 12/05/2023 - 00:28
  
  Preflash your SD card with Garlic OS
  Preload second SD card with roms
  
  Done

    This is good, I'll leave this here too:

    Also, installing a theme, that works perfectly, so ignore that advice not to.
    
    I also changed my boot image, and icons, made my own background and changed the battery charge animation.
    
    And the main site for Tiny: https://archive.org/details/tiny-best-set-go and for other missing games/systems: https://archive.org/details/pungent-best-set_202304 (but not sure if you can combined the two, might need to copy what you need)
    
    Keep the aspect ratio for GB/GBC/GBA.

      Yep changed my theme over as well from there.
      
      Did you get the theme changer working? I haven't tried yet.
      - RocketSwitch on 13/05/2023 - 01:39
        
        @impoze: No I didn't, couldn't really understand it. After picking the Retroarch theme, and made my adjustments, I figured I won't be changing my theme anymore. And if I do, I wanna mix and match.

Just got mine today. The biggest surprise is that the D-pad is actually pretty decent. I play a lot of fighting games and i can pull off special moves and supers just like on the PS5 controller. I was doing full Iori combos in KOF98. There is just a tiny bit of input lag but I can deal with that. Overall pretty good purchase.
Ozjoey on 12/05/2023 - 19:50

I have a noticed a few games you have to flip the console vertically to play… Contra, 1941, etc. However played Double Dragon horizontally and that was Awesome 🤟🏼
- impoze on 13/05/2023 - 18:08
  
  Neo geo?
  - Odin on 14/05/2023 - 09:59
    
    Neo geo runs great. Every game is perfect 60fps
    - impoze on 14/05/2023 - 10:10
      
      Yeah as in the vertical game mentioned.
      
      I know you can also rotate it in retroarch settings for shmups though

@Clear

I received my RG35XX but it won’t charge.
- AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 18/05/2023 - 21:59
  
  Try a different USB-C cable.
  - adb1984 on 19/05/2023 - 00:10
    
    Thanks mate, I have tried 5. Still nothing.
    - AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 19/05/2023 - 07:27
      
      The microSD card is inserted?
      - adb1984 on 19/05/2023 - 10:30
        
        @Clear: I have tried it both ways without luck
        
        impoze on 19/05/2023 - 10:33
        
        @adb1984: try flash a card with garlicOS,
        
        and are you using Type A to Type C cable?
        
        adb1984 on 19/05/2023 - 10:45
        
        @impoze: No Type C to type C. The device is completely flat so Im not sure the garlic os on a memory card will help.

        bamzero on 31/05/2023 - 13:44
        
        @impoze: Works with some but not others. I have a Cablecreation 3A cable that works, but another of their 5A doesn't. These also work. The 100W cable that came with my Toocki doesn't, but some other random cable I found laying around does.. so far seems 3A USB2.0 cables is the common link between working ones.
- adb1984 on 19/05/2023 - 11:09
  
  Anyway pretty disappointing as I as super excited and had heard good things.
  - Odin on 20/05/2023 - 11:21
    
    You need to have a SD card inserted with the firmware on it. The device won't charge without a.working Sd card properly formate

Got it today, put it on charge and flashed GarlicOS with custom boot image, theme and system icons. Downloaded Tiny Best Set GO and used 2x Samsung EVO SD cards. Everything has been smooth and no issues so far!

Mac users will have issue expanding the the ROM SD card partition and wont work with Disk Utility. There are mac specific instructions in github. Reddit is your friend. Hit me up if you need any help!

Jealous of everyone saying they received their units. Amarex claims they delivered it, when I enquired they showed me a photo of a house I do not recognise and after 4-5 days they replied saying "Regretfully, it appears that our team have been unable to verify the delivery of your consignment, therefore the matter should now be forwarded to our Claims Department for evaluation.

As it is the sender who holds the Contract of Carriage, we will be processing the claim directly with them.

We ask that you please contact them at your earliest convenience so that you may follow up with them on your end as we reimburse them directly.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused." I then contacted Geekbuying by live chat who asked a few questions, told me to speak to the courier, who I had just explained I had and they couldn't help and now crickets. It's a shame Geekbuying can't fix this, afterall it was their choice to use amarex :(

  Hey what's your order number? I'll see what's happening.
  - maxwellian on 01/06/2023 - 12:29
    
    @Clear not sure what's going on with your company, I tried live chat, they sounded helpful but ultimately didn't do anything other than to get me off the chat. Email asked me to do the running around for them and now it looks like you've disabled the mailbox! The order number is 5883586, now I'm trying to find refund via credit card. It sucks, I really wanted this thing.
    - AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 01/06/2023 - 13:53
      
      Thanks for the order number. I'll speak to my contacts at Geekbuying and see if they can get an acceptable resolution for you.

    Sorry Clear, I'm not getting it wrong am i perhaps?
    
    The Priority Shipping at checkout is free (10-20 delivery days), so is that what's advertised in this deal? Or is the Expedited Shipping that's half the delivery time - that's not free then?
    - AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 29/05/2023 - 16:30
      
      Yes I think that's the mistake. Priority shipping is free and selected by default, so it's US$53.85 with the coupon. Expedited shipping is not free.
      - adrianhughes1998 on 29/05/2023 - 16:44
