With as many choices as there are for the G350, it can be a little overwhelming to decide which direction you want to head in. Personal preferences are going to play a big part, but for my money dArkOS offers the performance and versatility to place it above the rest of the pack.
There’s no reason to listen to my opinions, though. Once you have a knack for installing new CFW, you may find that you want to try different options. Explore and see what best lines up with your preferences.
The fun of budget handhelds like the G350 is that you can tinker around with them without having to worry that you’re going to cause irreparable damage. If a new CFW isn’t working for you, the solution is as simple as popping the stock card back in or exploring the next option on the list.

ARKos or PAN4ELEC?
I’m a big fan of what’s happening with Pan4Elec on this device!
I installed ark OS and the right thumb stick mapping is wrong. Up is right, down is left, left is up, right is down
Any info on how to fix the right joystick issue? It seems that when ArkOS is installed the stick configuration is rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise. So left is up, up is right etc. I tried a few fixes that I found here and there but none fixed the issue so I had to go back to the StockOS ( even though I liked ArkOS more )
Go to https://github.com/retrogamecorps/G350-ArkOS-dtb and download Image and replace the in the boot volume
I wish I would’ve seen this before I played and created save states. I lost my save state in my favorite game and now I can’t save any game (it freezes and gets stuck at saving 0%). Is there a fix like a cache refresh in the original software or is it cooked because of the SD card? If so is it still salvageable to transfer to Arkos and keep all the games it came with?
I played my game when I got not knowing I had to do anything else to it now I turned it on and it says no SD card. What should I do I
My menu hotkey is not detected in retroarch can anyone please help me with this
Hi Paylyboy390,
I’ve had the same problem. Did you find a solution for this?
Yes a proper dtb swap is needed you have to rename the batlexp dtb to rk3326-rg351mp-linux.dtb
