RG351P and RG351M Starter Guide (2021 edition)
Last updated: 25MAY2021 (see Changelog for details)
Back in November, I wrote my first Starter Guide for the RG351P. Since then, there have been a few changes to the device: a new model, and custom firmware that simplifies the setup process.
So in this guide I will show you what to do during your first 20 minutes with a new RG351P or RG351M. This entry-level walkthrough will show you how to boot up games, back up your files, flash the 351ELEC firmware, and more!

The Anbernic RG351 devices are the best retro handheld devices you can buy at around the $100 price range (for now). So which one should you buy — the older, cheaper RG351P, or the new premium RG351M?

Hey everyone, I had an opportunity to unbox and spend a few minutes with the new Anbernic RG280V, which is a 2.8″ mini handheld with the same internal architecture as the RG350 devices. That means that for the most part, it will use the same emulators and have the same performance as those devices. See below for my video about the device, and expect more videos and guides soon.

Last updated: 12JAN2021
I’m excited to show off a new fork of EmuELEC, called 351ELEC, which is designed specifically for the RG351P. This firmware incorporates the most recent release of EmuELEC and also has a FAT32 “Games” partition which allows you to drag and drop ROM files directly onto your SD card. Like with ArkOS, 351ELEC is a more feature-rich and user-friendly operating system than the stock firmware.

Last updated: 28NOV2020 (see Changelog for details)
I hate to admit it, but my first week with the Anbernic RG351P was rough. Not only did I order my device as soon as it was available, I also paid for expedited shipping — so I had no idea how to use it when it finally arrived, because there were no guides out yet. So this guide is designed to walk you through all of the things I wish I knew when first starting out.
I’ve written plenty of guides for this device, but this Starter Guide will consolidate and summarize each of those other tutorials. Think of this as your “one-stop-shop” for the RG351P before you branch out to more advanced techniques.

Last updated: 25OCT2020 (see Changelog for details)
Let’s face it: the RG351P’s 3:2 aspect ratio (and 480×320 resolution) doesn’t look good out of the box. As you can see from my initial impressions, plus my “day three” impressions, I was not impressed with how the games looked. It took me several weeks of research and tweaking, but I’m happy to report that there are adequate settings in this device to tweak the screen so that everything looks great. There are some slight compromises that you have to make, but overall I’m very happy with how this turned out.
Be sure to watch the video embedded below so you can see some of these settings in action!
