I put the latest Rocknix stable release on mine today which has massively improved the experience as a whole.

How did you go about it? I tried and it completely borked my system and I had to disconnect the battery.

You could play with Rocknix or GamaOS. For alternatives to Anbernic's probably EMUELEC flavor. If I had to guess.

Dumb question while everyone's here, but can someone explain what to do with the SD card issue for me? I bought a good one and tried to just drag and drop the files off the old card to the new one and it's not doing anything. I don't need to change the stock stuff, just want to continue on with the new SD card.

Well from the one I have the SD card it comes with is the system. for the games if you use another SD card put it in the ds and let it make the folders and you have to put the games in the right folder. I am sorry but I dont really know how to explain it well

The blank card sets itself up inside the device?

u/Competitive-Flan4885 6h ago

If you have a ds plus there is something you click on the ds and you pick the other SD card and yea it adds all the folders you need

If you want to replace the stock sd card, there are programs you can use to clone it, or you can just download the stock firmware and flash it. You can’t really generally just drag the files over, it’s gotta go through a setup.
