The internal card stores your emulators and other software necessary to run the RG350. The “internal” card, also known as the firmware card or TF1 card, is located inside the device on the original RG350, and on the leftmost SD card slot on the bottom of the RG350M and RG3350P. The RG350 makes use of two microSD cards at the same time. Once you have these folders set up and organized, you’ll be able to drag some (or all) of them directly to the microSD card you’ll use in your device. I would name them something short and logical, probably no more than 3-4 words in length. Within each of these system folders go my game files. In the picture above you can see that I’ve created a folder called “Retro Games”, and then a folder for each of the game systems. You’ll want to create a location on your computer to store and organize all of your game files. Emulators, however, are open-source software files that are most definitely legal therefore, you’ll find links to all of the necessary emulators below.įile structure on my PC, which is replicated on my external microSD cardīefore we get the game files on your device, let’s talk about how you should organize them on your computer.

As a rule of thumb, no game or BIOS (boot file) links are available on this website. I have written a comprehensive guide about the subject, which you can read here. That being said, there is a legally defensible argument that if you already own a game, downloading a backup copy is acceptable under the Fair Use policy of copyright law.

Many emulators come pre-packaged with the BIOS already, while others require you to add them yourself (I will make note of it below).Īlthough the legality of downloading game files (ROMs) has not been tested in court, the general consensus is that it is copyright infringement to download games that you do not already own. In addition to ROMs, some emulators (particularly those that are disc-based) require BIOS (boot) files. There are many ways to package ROMs, so below I will focus on the file types that are most compatible with the RG350. ROMs are small “dumps” of game cartridge/disc data packaged in a way that the emulator understands. Next, emulators require game files, or ROMs, in order to run. Some emulators will only work on one specific platform, while others can support several platforms. You need two basic elements to play retro console and handheld games on the RG350.įirst, you will need an emulator, which is a software program that emulates the console/handheld itself.
