I was disappointed to see the Koriki PS1 performance. Curious that it can play (some) N64 but has issues with most PS1 games.

It's interesting that they've added the active cooling here. Presumably, the metal shell of the RG405M provided enough of a heat-sink on its own. It also means that GammaOS will require additional porting work - I'd been hoping it would work out of the box.

Great questions, HexagonSun.

Arcade

There are a few things to check here.

1. Your ROMs should be in the Roms\ARCADE folder on the SD card
2. the ROMs should be in the .zip file format
3. the file Emu\ARCADE\config.json should look like the following:

{
	"label":	"Arcade",
	"icon":	"/mnt/SDCARD/Icons/Default/arcade.png",
	"launch":	"launch.sh",
	"rompath":	"../../Roms/ARCADE",
	"imgpath":	"../../Roms/ARCADE/Imgs",
	"gamelist":	"../../Roms/ARCADE/miyoogamelist.xml",
	"useswap":	1,
	"shortname":	1,
	"hidebios":	1,
	"extlist":	"zip"
}

4. there should be a file in the ARCADE folder called miyoogamelist.xml; this should contain XML entries for every ROM in the folder; the file names in this file should match the ROM files in the ARCADE folder (such as outrun.zip).

Cores

Most of the time, it's better to stick with the default core, but there are a couple of options for choosing a different one.

1. Enable the Expert tab (Apps -> Tweaks -> User Interface -> Show expert mode): with Genesis Plus installed, Mega Drive/Genesis games will show up in the Expert section as playable with that core
2. use Game List Options (GLO): in the standard game list, bring up GLO by pressing Y, and choose a different core; this will only affect the highlighted game and is useful when there are a few games that don't perform as well with the default core.

I've been playing PICO-8 games just recently. Mostly for the purposes of testing compatibility.

Compatibility and performance are good but not perfect. Many of the games are so much fun.

Pictured is Bap the Ball Dragon. Real Mario Bros. vibes.

Glad to hear you got it sorted and that it was just software.

Now would be a good opportunity to make a backup of the GarlicOS card you just made. See our guide if you need some tips.

Do you know what caused the corruption to your retroarch.cfg? It may be useful information for people who experience the same behaviour and stumble on your post.

The RG351M really does feel like a premium version of the RG351P. Very robust and great for GBA games.

Do you have custom firmware installed?

Did you buy the BetterButtons or 3D print them?
