Retro Handheld News, Reviews, and Guides (and sometimes random things)
Today's episode covers how to upgrade the stock OS for the RG35XX series of handhelds to stockmod (cbepx-me) using a phone. This includes the RG35XX 2024, Plus, H, SP, and even the 28XX.
It's pretty simple! You just need to download the Update Package for Stock mod for your specific handheld version using the github: https://github.com/cbepx-me/RG35xx-P-RG35xx-H-Modification/releases
Do note here that the stock microSD cards are highly susceptible to corruption and this upgrade process may corrupt your card. If the card becomes corrupted your handheld will be unusable. If you are unwilling to take this risk, I would recommend not doing this process.
I inserted my microSD card into my phone using my microSD card slot but you can also use a microSD to USB adapter if your phone has OTG support.
I then used the SanDisk Memory Zone app to access the ROMs partition on the microSD card, deleted the two largest Dreamcast games to make some space, and copied the extracted Update Package to the Roms directory on the card.
After this, you can insert the card back into the TF1 slot on the handheld, boot it up, and go to RA Game, the Apps folder, and start up the upgrade app. This process will take around 10 minutes or so total.
After updating, you should have RetroArch 1.18 and the gpSP core needed to trade GBA Pokemon wirelessly! Just remember to set the GBA Link Connectivity to GBA Wireless Adapter before connecting via netplay.
Thank you for listening!
