GarlicOS for Anbernic RG35XX
Dec 31, 2022
Say hello to GarlicOS for RG35XX!
It's a fast & easy to understand operating system that should make Miyoo Mini / OnionOS users feel right at home with its similar look & feel!
Think of it as the natural evolution of my previous RetroArch port for RG35XX, with fully working sleep mode, improved button mappings, a whole new user interface and several under-the-hood bugfixes.
How to install: Download and install 7zip on your system, download the attached files into the same folder, right-click the part with the .001 extension, choose "7-Zip -> Extract Here" and finally open README.txt for further instructions.

Changelog

30. April 2023 (1.4.9):
  • Added system icons for NESTOPIA, PCFX, PLUS4, C128 & PET folders
  • Set the GarlicOS version to 1.4.9
30. April 2023 (1.4.8):
  • Updated the FCEUmm libretro core ("FC" folder)
  • Fixed the Mednafen PCFX core ("PCFX" folder, thanks to XQuader)
  • Added the Nestopia core ("NESTOPIA" folder, -||-)
  • Added the ViceXPlus4 core ("PLUS4" folder, -||-)
  • Added the ViceX128 core ("C128" folder, -||-)
  • Added the ViceXPet core ("PET" folder, -||-)
  • Set the GarlicOS version to 1.4.8
18. April 2023 (1.4.7):
  • Fixed a Garlic user interface glitch in the recent game menu that occured when exiting games while the FPS counter was enabled
  • Notifications are now generated via a producer / consumer queue (it makes them feel more fluid / faster)
  • Fixed a color conversion issue in the freechaf libretro core (thanks to XQuader)
  • Added the vice_xvic libretro core (thanks to Salvacam)
  • The 3500mAh DTB file was removed because the batteries used to generate the discharge-curve turned out to be mislabeled 2800mAh batteries (this is the fraudulent AliExpress listing in question)
  • The GarlicOS 1.3.4 mirror has been removed (most, if not all ports are now compatible with the latest GarlicOS builds)
  • Set the GarlicOS version to 1.4.7
11. April 2023 (1.4.6):
  • Sync events for skipped D-pad rollovers no longer fire (there's no need for them on straight jumps between -1 & 1 on the axis scale)
  • Hardware overlays now get disabled on frames where they aren't needed (which leaves more CPU cycles for actual emulation)
  • The overlay render thread now renders at 1FPS (which is plenty for notifications and saves CPU cycles)
  • The overlay render thread is now pinned to the fourth CPU core (which translates to free performance as RetroArch occupies mostly the first two CPU cores)
  • The overlay framebuffer has been moved to the end of the framebuffer device's memory (which saves us the CPU overhead of re-calculating the offset on every frame)
  • The PCSX ReARMed core has gotten a few performance improvements (which translate to 2~3 additional FPS)
  • The battery display in the Garlic menu now snaps to the closest percentage point image based on distance (for example, 81% actual capacity will now snap towards the 80% rather than the 100% image it previously did)
  • Set the GarlicOS version number to 1.4.6
9. April 2023 (1.4.5):
  • Brought back the select button for CPU control (--, -, normal, +, ++), but instead of forcing a specific static clock it now sets the maximum CPU frequency instead (this allows for dynamic frequency scaling while also giving us the ability to disable >1GHz frequencies for silicon lottery losers like the recent screen fuzz sufferers)
  • Tweaked the interactive governor target loads further which should fix the reported stutter in ScummVM, DOS, NES, GBC and possibly other systems
  • Added DTBs for all currently known-to-fit battery sizes (make sure to pick the DTB that matches your battery size from the misc/dtbs directory, rename it to kernel.dtb and overwrite the one in the misc partition to get proper battery percentage reporting)
  • Set the GarlicOS version number to 1.4.5
6. April 2023 (1.4.4):
  • Fixed a bug in the new input driver that caused excessive amounts of D-Pad hat release events to be emitted (this affected the GarlicOS menu in some very strange ways)
  • Fixed a bug that enabled games to override the main RetroArch config on exit
  • Patched the new u-boot DTB to bring back the 0% battery boot häçk
  • Patched the kernel DTB battery percentage curve to return better estimates (based on data gathered from 4 separate 2600mAh and 3 separate 2100mAh battery drain tests, 2100mAh battery owners, please delete the kernel.dtb file and rename 2100mAh.dtb into kernel.dtb to show the proper battery percentage for your unit)
  • Updated the PCSX ReARMed core with D-Pad to Right Analog Stick mapping support (thanks to XQuader)
  • Tweaked the interactive governor target loads to better scale in the sub-1GHz range (less stutter, better performance & lower battery consumption)
  • Set the GarlicOS version number to 1.4.4

Known issues

  • Some units get stuck on the GarlicOS boot logo, this seems to be a hardware issue of sorts that can be remedied by removing the back of the device and disconnecting the battery connector for 10 seconds to let the PCB fully discharge (just pressing the reset button doesn't seem to be enough)
