    ArkOS initial unpacking on the G350

    Note: As of 12/2025 “dArkOS has replaced ArkOS. ArkOS will no longer be maintained effective immediately. The ArkOS repository will be maintained for historical purposes only. Thank you for your support!”

    1. Download the latest stable ArkOS image marked for the RG351MP from the project GitHub.
    2. Head over to the RH Discord and download the rk3326-batlexp-linux.dtb file.
    3. Unpack the downloaded ArkOS archive using the unzipping program of your choice. DO NOT use the downloaded archive to try and rebuild the image directly. This will not work.
    4. Take the extracted ArkOS image file, and write it to a Micro-SD card. Note: All data on the SD card will be wiped.
    5. After the image has been successfully written to the card, drop the downloaded rk3326-batlexp-linux.dtb file into the BOOT partition of the freshly written SD card. Confirm you wish to overwrite the existing file.
    6. Remove the SD card from your PC and insert it into the TF1 slot of the G350.
    7. Power the device on, and you should be greeted with a screen letting you know ArkOS is initializing.
    8. Allow the image to unpack (this can take some time). When complete, the system will boot into ArkOS.
    9. Remove the SD card from the TF1 slot, place it back in the PC reader, and load all your ROMs and BIOS.
    10. Get nostalgic and get gaming, or place the newly completed device up on the shelf to admire until the next hardware release comes ;-).

      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 )

      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?
