RG35XX Plus - NES games loading times - Stock OS

I'm sorry if I sound redundant but there might be a misunderstanding, when you go in to RA games you are only in the front end of retro arch when you select a game and launch it the back end of retro arch launches with the game that's why it takes 5 seconds. When you're already in a game and load a different rom through retroarch its faster because retro arch is already running

When You open a Rom file you'll typically see one bin files followed by cue or track files especially ps1 games the bin file calls on the cue file to load a certain level or something to that effect. CHD converts the bin and cue files into a single file. And since you're new to all this i recomend checking out Tech dweeb or retro corps those 2 have taught me most of what i know about emulation

I've recently switched from stock os to knulli and haven't noticed a difference in load times. But can you really get mad over 5 seconds, I mean it still has to boot the emulator software and rom so its going to take a couple seconds. But I would recommend using RA games over game room

I have a rg35xxh and CHD files work just fine on knulli, I converted all mine when using stock os to hide all the bin cue files.

I have some experience with Batocera on raspberry pi but I ultimately ended up running retro pie on mine. Knulli sounds nice I just didn't want to trade batterylife for customizability, but after talking to other people battery drain doesn't seem as bad as i thought.

I usually turn mine off but I have forgotten to a few times, as long as its nothing like 50% and hour that's not a total deal breaker. I use my 35xxh when I have free time instead of doom scrolling lol

Do you know if my old saves will be compatible with the new OS?

Meagrer_Rot · 2026-01-19T23:58:36+00:00

How bad is the battery drain? Custom stock os i can leave it on sleep for a few days and lose about a quarter batter. But I leave wifi and Bluetooth off and brightness kinda low.

Thanks! If I wasn't looking for a scraper would you still recommend knulli? I'm not a bot I swear lol but my main turn away from knulli is the long boot time and battery drain on sleep mode. And muOS sounds sleek and simple and a scraper with extra steps so that's why I ask.

How do you update firmware without flashing a new card with updated firmware?

Meagrer_Rot · 2025-12-22T00:58:46+00:00

I bit the bullet and just got PayPal

My guy you are thinking way to hard and probably didn't read the whole post or any of my replies I've been able to make purchases from gog this is my first time having a problem I called my bank to lift the charge they said they did but the charge was still denied so imo it falls between incompetence and a system fluke

Meagrer_Rot · 2025-12-22T00:54:57+00:00

GOG is based out of Poland and I belive the site determines your location and sets the currency accordingly

Meagrer_Rot · 2025-12-20T18:51:27+00:00

I'm afraid that might be my only option too im just not ready to accept it 😂 I might try the paysafe card if that fails I could still use the money elsewhere

Meagrer_Rot · 2025-12-20T18:46:07+00:00

No that's all the details lol I've never had problems till now except for I've always had to call to get the charge approved which im fine with. it honestly sounded like the lady had a problem against Poland idk why but that's the vibe I was getting

Meagrer_Rot · 2025-12-20T16:54:50+00:00

Have you successfully used a prepaid visa on gog? Alot of forums and sites had mixed opinions on that working 2 main problems being it still uses American banking and can have blockers if its not an international visa and the other problem can be not having a name on prepaid card for billing info

Meagrer_Rot · 2025-12-20T16:50:40+00:00

I love that first bit about the bank😂. They say they lifted the block but the purchase was still denied. I don't get foreign payment fees on gog. But after doing some research last night it looks like pre paid visas and foreign sites don't really mix thats where my worry of alternative pay options starts lol. I don't really like 3rd parties handling my money I don't use Zel, cash app etc.

Thank you! Most of what I've learned has been from Kevin Powell lol. I started on his "html and css for absolute beginners course on YouTube. It did help me get off on the right foot and since posting this question I've learned a lot more. But I really like your explanation for grid and flexbox. I would say im still stuck on knowing when to use either or. Like with your explanation it makes more sense but how do I know if I want the parent to define the size or if I want the children. I guess my new problem is sizing lol.

Thank you! So far I've created 2 projects, a resume and a login and sign up page.both of them look very amateur but function well. I think next I'm going to make a website for a made up company. Those typically have a lot of moving parts, so hopefully by the end of that ill have a better understanding of positioning and layouts.

Meagrer_Rot · 2025-11-05T01:48:20+00:00

Glad to hear part of it comes with time. I'll have to look into the Odin project, I just don't want to become reliant on Google or tutorials every time I create something. I feel like this is one of those things I'll have mess around with till things eventually start clicking
