  • Fixed volume level being saved during reboots
  • Fixed brightness level saved during reboots
  • Fixed standalone emulators not launching correctly from EmulationStation
  • Fixed PPSSPP and Drastic (NDS) not starting
  • Added application shortcuts to enable/disable ADB, also to switch to EmulationStation or Simplemenu
  • Added back batocera EmulationStation public domain content and associated art
  • Additional internal boot process changes, etc.
  • Fixed SDCard expansion not working on 20231220 release
  • Added additional tools thumbnails (thanks https://github.com/SzalikDesigns)
  • Fixed Error 256
  • Added customlauncher file, so no need to add it manually (also launcher can now be changed via scripts)

2023/12/20:

  • Fixed reboot/shutdown from menu (simplemenu)
  • Added system/logs folder during installation. If you are reusing an existing card and have issues with error 256, see the important note above and create the folder manually.

2023/12/17:

  • Included both simplemenu and EmulationStation launchers
  • Changed completely the kernel and init mechanism to resemble the stock one:
    • Leds should now work consistently
    • Battery should report charge correctly
    • Battery charge icon is now displayed when the unit is connected to the power
    • This version should work with all RG35XX hardware revisions
  • USB port should now work:
    • USB gamepads should work, although those can only be mapped in Simplemenu
    • USB memories also work
    • USB Wifi adapters now work. Currently only EDIMAX EW-711Un (rtl8192cu based) and TP-Link W725N (rtl8188us/eu based) work. You will need to use EmulationStation to configure the wireless network
  • ADB can be disabled/enabled via Simplemenu menu

Installation:

New installation:

  • Download the batocera-rg35xx-rg35xx--20240103.img.gz file
  • Using balena etcher or a similar tool flash the image to a SDcard (no need to extract the gz archive)
  • Once the SDCARD has been flashed, insert the card into the first TF slot of the RG35XX and boot
  • The first boot will take a bit longer since the system is expanding the SDCARD and also copying the default content to the last partition.

Update from previous release (1.0 to 1.0.2):

  • You need to have koriki 1.0 or 1.0.1 installed on a SDCARD
  • Mount the SDCARD on your computer
  • Extract the (boot.tar.xz) archive from this release
  • From your original SDCARD, delete the file boot/batocera and copy the contents of the extracted boot.tar.xz into the first partition of the SDCARD (you should see Batocera-conf.conf, boot, etc.)

Important:

  • If you are updating from a previous version or you are using an existing SDCard on the TF2 slot, please remove or move your existing system folder (from the SHARE partition of the second card or the first card if you only use one).
  • The rg35xx-battery-dtbs.zip contains dtb files for different batteries. The 2100mAh, 2600mAh, and 2800mAh are based on official releases, the 3500mAh is based on some versions of those batteries but note that there multiple 3500mAh batteries around and it may or may not work for you. If that does not work, try 2800 or 2600 instead. To install, rename the corresponding file (eg. 2100mAh-gpu.dtb) to kernel.dtb and copy that file on top of the existing file in the first partition of the SDCARD
