Transferring files to and from your RG351P’s SD card is a little tricky, so I decided to write a dedicated guide to walk you through the process. Note that this guide is specific to Anbernic’s unofficial fork of EmuELEC, the firmware that ships with your RG351P. For information about the other RG351P firmware options, see 351ELEC and ArkOS.

How to fix RG351P internal WiFi antenna audio issues

Last updated: 15DEC2020 (see Changelog for details)

RG351P EmuELEC Firmware Guide

Last updated 24JAN2021 (see Changelog for details)

The stock operating system found on the RG351P, which is a modified version of EmuELEC, is a little different from those found on other devices. For example, the RG350 devices have two SD cards — one that holds the operating system, and another for game files. The Retroid Pocket 2 has internal storage for the operating system, and one SD card for all of your game files.

The RG351P has just one single SD card, and it contains both the operating system AND your game files. This is advantageous if you don’t want to have multiple SD cards to deal with, but it also has one big disadvantage: if you mess up that SD card, you lose BOTH your operating system and your game files.

So this guide will show you how to back up the modified EmuELEC on your current stock SD card, and how to also install a fresh version of the software onto a new card.
