I recommend naming your game folders after the “Rom Path” names found in this guide, because that’s how they’ll be organized on your device. Make a folder called “Retro Games” or something like it, and make distinct folders for each of the systems you would like to play on your device. A nice adapter like this one from Anker will give you the fastest transfer speeds possible, and won’t cause any corruption issues with your card.įinally, I would recommend that you build your ROM library now, if you haven’t already. One more accessory to consider: if you don’t have a nice microSD to USB adapter, you might want to think about getting one. NOTE: you cannot charge this device and use a WiFi dongle at the same time (hopefully this can be changed via software in the future). ![]() I have personally tested the WiFi adapter linked above and can verify that it works well on the RG351P it also has a nice (subtle) blinking light to let you know when it is accessing data. ![]() So I recommend you check with the seller to see if your device is going to come with an OTG and WiFi adapters if they aren’t I suggest you buy them so they’re available as soon as you open up your device. Together, these two adapters will allow you to connect your device to your home network and take advantage of its NetPlay, media scraping (image/boxart downloading), cheats, and Retro Achievements functions. Luckily, many sellers will bundle their RG351P with an OTG adapter (basically a USB-C to USB-A adapter) and a USB WiFi module. So what this means is that there are several really awesome networking features in the device, and you won’t be able to access them. OTG adapter (left), USB WiFi module (right) for connecting to WiFiĪs you may have heard, the RG351P was supposed to come with built-in WiFi, but then Anbernic pulled the WiFi antennas from the devices after their first week of production due to static noise issues. A 256GB card will allow you to store even more of those larger games. A 128GB card will allow you to load EVERY 8-bit and 16-bit game out there, all of the arcade games that work, and quite a few PS1, Dreamcast, PSP, and Sega CD games (those systems have the largest file sizes). In general, I would expect to pay $20 for a 128GB card and $30 for a 256GB card. The prices fluctuate all the time, so keep an eye out for deals. In general, I recommend the cards listed below, in order or preference. I recommend you store that original card somewhere safe in case you run into any issues in the future, and buy a new SD card from a reputable brand like SanDisk or Samsung to use in your device. Since all of your games AND the software is stored on that single card, your safest bet is to replace it with a microSD card from a well-known brand (don’t worry, I’ll show you how to do that below). The RG351P will come bundled with a single microSD card, but it is from a generic brand and is prone to failure.

I’ve written plenty of guides for this device, but this Starter Guide will consolidate and summarize each of those other tutorials. So this guide is designed to walk you through all of the things I wish I knew when first starting out. Not only did I order my device as soon as it was available, I also paid for expedited shipping - so I had no idea how to use it when it finally arrived, because there were no guides out yet. I hate to admit it, but my first week with the Anbernic RG351P was rough. Last updated: 28NOV2020 (see Changelog for details) ![]()
