So the Arcade game Bosconian (1981) was the inspiration for the C64 game Survivor (1983). It was one of my favourite games back then, and I thought it was original.
That's great to know regarding Survivor, I don't think I've played that so I appreciate your insight and will check it out. I first played Bosconian at a Kroger grocery store in the early 80's, I was about 13 at the time. I loved going to the store with Mom just so I could beg her for $0.50 to play a few games of Bosconian. Those were some magical times!
Awesome video! Just wanted to point out another option for transfering roms on Batocera. You can use an external usb drive if you wanna scrape it on the system though you'll need a usb hub to get wifi working while scraping.
if you prefer exfat over ext4 to copy roms without the network, it can be done from the menu es>developer>formation share partition. Note however that exfat and fat32 is not good for data integrity in case of bad shutdown.

Great video Jon. Did you know there's an Android 18.1 Linerage image for OGS? I tried to run it but the wifi didn't work. Shame because I thought it had potential.

Very cool. I have so many handhelds, and I rarely play them. I live in China, so I just keep finding more and more. Most are not very good (t least the cheap ones I keep buying) but some are awesome.
Same here, my collection is getting crazy 😎 Some I love, some just sit there and collect dust. I don't think the OGS will be collecting dust anytime soon.
Sorry if this is a stupid request (I'm a relative noob to handheld retro gaming), but would retropie work on this? If so, I'd like to see a performance test, please.
Hi Len, no RetroPie won't work on this device, there isn't a build available for this processor (RK3326). However, Batocera is a good choice, in my opinion. It uses EmulationStation for the front-end. I have a little more info on my website if interested: wagnerstechtalk.com/ogs/ and here wagnerstechtalk.com/retrohh/
Thank you Christophe! From what I can tell, it does not handle stand-by mode (confirmed here : forum.batocera.org/d/4048-sleep-mode/3 ). Though, on my unit I've got the screensaver setup which is pretty cool while it's plugged in, the video snaps will kick-in and if you see a random game you'd like to play just press the start button. When done playing, best to perform a shutdown. Hope this answered your question!
Hi Nicolas, I have a quick question. Working on my next video which will be the Super Console X. It uses the s905 processor and thought I'd try Batocera on it. Unfortunately, it won't boot. I was wondering if you know of a way to "make" it work? If so, please feel free to e-mail me at wagnerstechtalk@gmail.com . I'd really love to put something other than EmuELEc on this hardware. Thanks for any reply.
Hey Wagner, do you know the release date for rg351v ? I read somewhere that it was supposed to be in March but there's nothing on the anbernic website about it
Hi Joshua, I don't know the official release date for the 351v but do know it was delayed. Hoping to get ahold of one of those wood-grain units. Reminds me a lot of the RG300 design which was one of the first handhelds I reviewed on this channel. But the wood-grain "look" is an awesome touch!
I bought mine knowing that I would probably do a lot of modifications to get it up to snuff but honestly, this is so close to being the perfect RK3326 device right out of the box and at this price point, there's no beating it. The more I interact with it, the more I like it. With improved stereo speakers, built in wifi and a better d-pad it would without a doubt be my go-to handheld. For now the RG351m still has it slightly beat in my collection (for various, mostly subjective reasons) but honestly? If the dpad is my only serious complaint and for the 80 bucks I paid, that's still come a long, long way from the old Dingoo days and I think most people would be happy with it. The dpad is still leaps and bounds better than the one on the RP2 :D
@@btango7029 Agree, built-in WiFi, Stereo speakers, dpad (and better quality sticks) would have made this a near-perfect device. If they were shift to the S90M chipset, it would be a perfect handheld that could smoothly play anything up to DC. As it is now, it's pretty darn close. Love the 351M as well, but appreciate the larger screen on the OGS. This is why I can never answer "which device should I get"... too many great options available these days. The first device I ever bought was the A320 (OpenDingux), it got me hooked on this stuff!
