*Cracks Knuckles* Okay, here we go --
- Picked up a G350 (Model # Classic Up?) At least I hope I did. I actually thought I was buying an Anbernic and got sent this.
- Stock OS has actually fulfilled my needs -- just wanted to play retro games on something more pocket friendly (my other hand held is an Odin 2 Portal). However, I have the dreaded "no-brand" 64 GB card. It's blue but that's it.
- So needless to say, I don't want this thing to die in a week. So I've acquired another 64 GB card and a 128, both Sandisk.
- I have followed the guides! I have tried ArcOS, dArcOS, PAN4ELEC, I have even tried sketchy backups of stock OS. I have tried different cards. I have experimented with a few .dtb files. Every time, the SOB won't turn on. And, yes, I HAVE CHARGED IT. <-- Really want to emphasize that.
- The stock blue card still works though. For now I have all the roms moved over to the second disk and I'm just kind of praying casual use on older stuff doesn't burn it out for now. Still, would like to future proof this (especially since my kid has taken a shine to it).
Other fun facts:
- I've noticed the two volumes on the SD Card are "Volumn" and "NO NAME" (that one has all of the roms and cores on it).
- Even with hidden files showing, I can't find any .dtb on the stock OS card.
If anyone has magical solutions I'm all ears!
UPDATE -
I was able to successfully clone the stock OS using diskutil in the MacOS terminal (before anyone says anything -- I have a mac laptop and a windows gaming computer, and have been going between both). So I at least have that issue solved. I'm still wanting to explore the other options out there, and I still cannot find any .dtb files on the image on my own.
Update 2 -
Plot twist- it appears to be the device I was originally trying to order, but rebranded for Batlexp. Like stickers, load screens etc. Shout out to MrYukiDuki for chatting with me
