We already commented on a previous occasion that many users and developers with knowledge of Linux were taking advantage of the power of the console and its H700 chip to take advantage of it in a way other than just playing with it, and we showed you how they had executed an environment linux to be able to use it as a computer.
A new option for this is the one created by game-de-it called DesktopOS, which is compatible with all consoles that carry the H700 chip (That is, the entire RG35XX family excluding the Original from 2022). You can try it by downloading it fron his github.
We also have a new application to watch YouTube videos from the console, although this time it is only compatible with consoles that obviously have WiFi. Z3R0C1PH3R is the one who is in charge of its development. We have already tested it and it is improving with each update. You can download it from his github.
Unfortunately, we have stopped making public the Portmaster Ports that we had on the website, to avoid foolishness. Yes, as you read it, foolishness…
We don’t quite understand many things, and since we don’t want people to point the finger at us and call us Pirates, when we are not, in fact the games we shared had already been pirated and downloaded freely from the Internet, we are not hackers or crackers. or anything like that. We have only followed the instructions provided by Portmaster: You need these files of the complete game and you copy them to this folder… And that is what we were providing for those people who need help with all this because it is great for them to simply copy some files to the card or reinstall the firmware…
We have read complaints and accusations, (although in no case directed at this page), but from Portmaster they have made a statement as a warning as to wash their hands and that they do not share these practices, that the games must be purchased legally and blablabla .
We find it very shocking that we are talking about Retro Emulation consoles of old systems, which use Roms, and Bios of those systems, which are of very dubious legality, but if you are reading this it means that you have one and you use it with games that came to you already on the console itself or that you have downloaded from the internet. Because although it is always said that “You can only play the Roms that you own the original game” we all know that NO ONE DOES THAT.
And it turns out that using a tool like Portmaster to be able to run PC Ports or other systems, which in most cases are offered as “Ready to play” where there are almost 500 games available, is legal, but sharing the games you have is not. They need “certain files”, and then controversy and bad vibes are generated…
Since we don’t want foolishness as we said at the beginning, we will continue sharing content and news as we have usually done, but we will cancel the Ports section for Portmaster. You can always search for the files as we have done through Archive.org or other pages that are dedicated to this, such as the Roms pages, etc.
We regret having to make this decision, but we believe it is best for the page. Greetings from the RG35XX.COM, PLUS.RG35XX.COM and RG28XX.COM team
The Custom Firmware created by Adixal finally gets bigger, and supports themes, making for a visually pleasing interface and reaching a much larger audience than its previous versions which were all text based on RetroArch. In addition to this, which I consider the most important thing about this update, it has many other things such as the fact that the operating system already runs at 64 bits and many other things, which it is better that you read from its page. (It only needs to be able to be used in other languages and not only in English).
Knulli, the Custom Firmware based on Batocera created by Acmeplus, has also been released, although publicly only for the RG28XX at the moment, although for the RG35XX you can also get it by helping or contributing to the developer. It is available from their page.
We already know the characteristics of the New RG35XXSP, and we can be happy, because instead of being the same as the new RG35XX of 2024, they are exactly the same as the Plus version, so we will have Wifi and Bluetooth!!
And we have also added a new theme to our Stock Themes section, Synthwave, and we are updating some themes that were left in previous versions and people are demanding, coming soon…
After the leaks of the last few days, Anbernic has finally made the official announcement from its YouTube channel, in a few days or hours the new clamshell-shaped version of the RG35XX console will be available, this time with the SP suffix, alluding to the Nintendo console it resembles, the GameBoy Advance SP.
You can see the 4 colors available at launch in the image above.
Although not all the characteristics are yet known, from what we can see in the video they are exactly the same in terms of hardware as the PLUS version. Here we leave you the video that they published a few hours ago:
We have added 2 new themes for the Stock firmware, which you already have available from the Stock Themes section and we will soon add some more that we are testing and finishing editing.
Also, if you have an RG28XX, we are already preparing the Boot Logos and Themes to be compatible, they require a small modification and will be in a separate section so as not to mix them with the rest of RG35XX, but we already have the sections available in the Menu, Soon all the contents will be there so you can use them!!
The news and work accumulate and there is little time, but I do not forget to inform you; The latest version of the MuOs Operating system, created by Adixal, V11 is now available in alpha version and promises to be a great update, with new themes, improving the visual aspect and also works now under 64-bit architecture which promises to be a great He improves, as does Knulli.
And about GarlicOs 2, the latest news is that after 5 months without news from Black Seraph, he has commented on Networks that he has finished the project in which he was immersed and that he is getting back to work on GarlicOs 2, and has started supporting the new RG28XX and promises new updates soon…
We also want to inform you that we have deactivated the modified and preconfigured version of the cbepx-me stock mod firmware by Gabi_90 for the moment since it has been a little unstable and until we have it perfect we will not publish it. We apologize to those of you who downloaded it and had problems.
We continue working for our RG35XX, RG35XX Plus, RG35XX H, RG35XX 2024, RG28XX and very soon also for RG35XXSP 😉
Anbernic has updated the Firmware of all its consoles with the Allwinner H700 chip, specifically the RG35XX Plus, RG35XX H and RG35XX 2024, providing them with new emulators, correcting small errors and moving the Apps folder to its new section that we already saw in previous versions of Firmware.
Curiously, it is not yet available on its firmware download page at the time of writing this news, although they were published in the YouTube video that we saw yesterday, and that we already have available in our stock firmware section. (Only versions with ROMS for 64GB cards at the moment)
A few hours after the launch, cbepx-me already offered us its modified version, with improvements as always on this stock firmware, providing it with even more functionalities, and which you also have available in our stock firmware section, and which we recommend you use before the official version. If you already had the previous MOD installed or have already installed a recent version of the stock firmware, you can simply upgrade without having to overwrite the entire card again, a feature that makes it worth using this mod version.
We have added to our Stock Firmwares section, the last version available for the RG28XX, with ROMS, and without ROMS, as Anbernic offers it on its page, and also, we have added the last version of the firmware modified by cbepx-me Also for the RG28XX, in its most current version, the V1.6.
We have also added new themes for stock firmware, and we are working to add some more, and finish updating those that we have pending. And thanks to a new script for the themes, thanks to the creator of one of these new ones that we offer, InfraBlue, we have updated the last themes that we had compatible with the most recent firmware versions, and now it is possible to replace the 2 starting images , or Boot Logos, which had to change by hand, is now automated when installing the theme. They are already available to download from our themes for stock section.
And we have already used to update our Boot Logos installers, who be available in their section, Boot Logos.
Our friend and collaborator Gabi_90 has once again worked on a completely preconfigured version of the Stock Mod 1.6 of cbepx-me, so that you don’t have to think about too many things, except inserting your Roms, and adding your Wi-Fi keys, etc…
Here are the things it includes:
SETTINGS:
– File “arcade-plus.csv” with many names corrected.
– Overlays and bezels configured.
– PS1 Core replaced with a better one.
– Retroarch cheats updated.
– Some Bezels added and fixed.
– “RG35XX overlays” folder added with more overlays.

Organix33 on Reddit we have created this comparison with Pros and Cons that we believe is ideal for choosing which firmware to currently install according to your needs:
cbepx-me has already updated its modified version of the Anbernic stock system, one day after its launch, and as always with some new features apart from those already brought by the update itself. These improvements are:
-Add default L2 key as activation shortcut for continuous sending
-Add “Show Info” function to view system version and other information
-Add “Move APPS” feature
-Modify the “Random” function to support all games, collections, history and individual simulators
-Modify the “Random-bootlogo” to automatically restore the default startup logo when it is closed
-Modify the installation program and streamline the installation package volume
-Modify, complete, and merge partial masks
-Modify the sound effects of the default theme
-Fix mask display issue during HDMI output
-Other minor adjustments

In recent days we have learned about the new Anbernic console from the XX family, specifically the RG28XX about which we still do not know much about its characteristics, but as can be seen in its demonstration videos, it has the same chip as its sisters, the H700 and uses the same operating system as them, the so-called StockOs or Stock Firmware, and although the screen appears to be 2.8 inches instead of the 3.5 inches of current consoles, everything indicates that all content and firmware will work. that we have on the page. We are already waiting for ours to arrive… (Video at the end of the entry)
Acmeplus, the developer in charge of the Custom Firmware based on Batocera that has been brought to our consoles, has changed the name of the project, to differentiate it from Batocera directly, as it is a Fork, in which there are and will be some changes that differentiate it, and KNULLI has called it, of which we will continue to pay close attention to its news, and of which it already has its page in development, although still incomplete, but which you can now visit at knulli.org
We have also added 2 themes to download in our Themes for Batocera section that we left out: Alekfull-NX and Animatics-DX
