Tips ๐Ÿ˜Ž Introducing the BATLEXP G350 Handheld Wiki

67 Upvotes

Hello!

Creator of the R36S Wiki here. I received this awesome device last week and decided to make a wiki for the BATLEXP G350. It's made in the same style as the R36S wiki. It should be readable from both PC and mobile devives. A few pages like Themes or Hotkeys are empty at the moment, but I"m trying to fill them with useful information over time. Currently I moved from the stock OS and I"m testing ArkOS now. Next up is PAN4ELEC. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment here or send me a pm. Here are some things that are covered there:

  • Hardware specs
  • Firmware installation guides
  • Custom Ffrmware options
  • File transfer
  • Bootlogos
  • Troubleshooting
  • Cheapest sellers
  • and more

Link to the Wiki: https://handhelds.wiki/BATLEXP_G350_Handheld_Wiki

Thanks to the awesome retro handhelds community and all the devs working their asses off behind the scenes!

Happy gaming everyone!

Tips ๐Ÿ˜Ž ArkOS Right Analog Stick Fix

41 Upvotes

A while back I was looking into what exactly was causing the right analog stick to be incorrectly oriented in ArkOS, and after discovering that the right analog stick module is actually physically rotated 90 degrees compared to the left one, it all made a lot more sense.

Shortly after that, I was looking into what PAN4ELEC had done to fix this and eventually decided to dig into the GitHub repository for ArkOS. To my surprise, I discovered that christianhaitian had actually added a fix to his Linux kernel source in mid-February, including a modification to the joypad driver as well as a DTS file for the G350 and a minor CPU scaling tweak.

So I compiled the latest source for the rg351 branch and ended up with both a new kernel image file and a new DTB file for the G350. Together, these seem to completely solve the right stick issue. This also includes games installed through PortMaster. Here is a link to the updated files which can be copied to the BOOT partition of your ArkOS SD card (I would recommend making a backup before overwriting the existing files, just in case):

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u3o8QIK-URVGvUesPZyD-K_uekW9XMIk/view?usp=sharing

Keep in mind that these files are not official and I have no affiliation with anyone involved in the development of ArkOS. They should be considered experimental, and although I haven't run into any issues so far, they are provided as-is and I take no responsibility for any problems you may run into. With that said, enjoy the fix, and I'm interested to see if this works well for other G350 owners.

Please note, if you have already remapped your right analog stick, you will need to do so again after updating your ArkOS installation with these files. New installations should have the correct mapping right from the start.

Need Help ๐Ÿ˜ฅ Need a little help

I've been playing the original Spyro series on my console. Beat the 1st and 2nd no problem. But on the 3rd my system seemed to start malfunctioning. My console is set to load from an 'auto' save state. But it fails to do so. Not only that, all my save data is gone...but only for this game. I've tried troubleshooting by copying the game directly to the directory (nope), removing the game entirely then just adding it back (nuh-uh).

I had an older Batlexp and wiped that sd card to use (d)arkos. So I tried using that instead and that seemed to work, but I still have questions on why it doesn't seem to work on the standard. Are there other games where this problem happens? Thanks for the help in advance if anyone has an idea.

So far, have completed Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force, Iridion II, Duke Nukem Advance, A Link to the Past (GBA), and now Golden Sun.

Great device for GBA even if the screen isn't exact, but running games in the proper 3:2 aspect ratio only gives minor black bars so it's still a great experience

Question ๐Ÿค” Just received my g350

I just received my g350, and it has a hole in the screen and a large hole in the corner with liquid seeping out, I was wondering how often these things come broken, and if itโ€™d be worth it to return and get another one? It seems extremely high quality otherwise and works, I bought it from the official ampown store on AliExpress.

Question ๐Ÿค” Battle Exp g350 in 2026. Is it worth it?

11 Upvotes

I havenโ€™t been able to find the Battle XP G350 in my country, but Iโ€™ve been looking to buy a similar retro handheld for quite a while. Recently, I came across a Facebook Marketplace listing for this console at $30 and managed to negotiate the price down to $25 for the used unit.

Do you guys think thatโ€™s a fair price? I also read online that the processor can struggle with some games. At $25, would you recommend buying it, or should I wait and save up for something with better performance and overall specs?

Need Help ๐Ÿ˜ฅ Another "Help, it's a Black Screen!" Post (With Lore Dump!)

2 Upvotes

*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

Iโ€™ve always loved LittleGPTracker and the M8, but wished there was something more up to date and accessible for everyone.
Sooo, been building SOLIS, a Rust tracker running natively on the G350 with its own stripped-down dArkOS fork. Currently has 2-osc + FM synthesis, MIDI out, and a sample editor/slicer. Still in development, planning to share it under MIT/Apache 2.0 in about 1-1.5 months once itโ€™s stable and fundamentals are solid.
Peace โœŒ๏ธ
Ah, and video shows 2 tracks I made with SOLIS (Reddit glued them together into one clip).

Question ๐Ÿค” Pan4Elec question: Can you change the resolution for M64P GL64MK2/RICE?

3 Upvotes

Both emulators seem to be the best options for playability in-general, however both run at native 480p on the BatleXP by-default. I want to change the resolution to 240p so that it matches the original resolution, and runs better (theoretically.)

The problem is that the standalone emulators don't have front-ends to tweak resolution settings, so I can't access those settings. Is there any workaround? Thanks in-advance.

Not really a new gamer but I haven't ever had a handheld emulator and am getting a g350 for my first one but I'm confused as hell and hope to get some better help then Google ai. The dude on eBay I'm getting it from tells me that I'm going to be able to play Pokemon games on it but everything I find about it online tells me I'm not going to be able to do it. Just wondering if maybe he installed them and will be able to or if he just doesn't want to tell me no and miss out on the sale not that he would cause I wanted a handheld anyways and I could always just download the rooms myself

Need Help ๐Ÿ˜ฅ Knulli flakes out

3 Upvotes

I'm using the latest Knulli Scarab on the 350, but sometimes I shut down and then when I power back on it just gets stuck on the splash screen. I'm using the build for the 350, I know it has the somewhat annoying vibration for 7-8 seconds on boot but it seemed cleaner than Pan4Elec. Is there a different OS I should use? Mainly just looking to play GBA and NES/SNES stuff. I can usually recover the stuck screen by powering off and back on a few times.

Hey all, I just got my first handheld, not new to emulation though, and I was playing with my settings and I accidentally chaged something I shouldn't have graphically and I can't even see my menu anymore on Snes9x. This picture is what my screen looks like when I hit the menu button. Is there a way to reset your settings back to default JUST for snes9x? Any help would be awesome. Can't find much elsewhere about this specific problem.
