Anbernic RG351P - BIOS folder

[MicroNut99]

Hello,
I have an Anbernic RG351P and the SDCARD is corrupt. I need the BIOS folder from the Games partition.
Its not a large folder. About 180megs.
If you can help then please send a PM.
Thank you,

You probably need to just start over especially if you are using the card that came with the handheld. I would really recommend that you swap it over for a good quality known brand as the one that ships with the handheld is known to not be that reliable.

There is a very comprehensive guide on how to get the firmware on a new card on this site here

https://retrogamecorps.com/2020/10/09/rg351p-firmware-guide/#BIOS

It is what I used to set up my RG351p

Something to note, we cannot provide any BIOS files here for you as they're considered copyrighted content, which is against our rules to share.

But p1ng's suggestion is 100% correct, also follow the instructions on that page to flash EmuELEC 3.8 on your SD card (you will lose your games, so back those up first just in case). This will restore your RG351P to factory, which will include a restore BIOS folder.

The first thing to do is backup the Bios folder. But the card arrived corrupt.

SO I cannot backup anything. Nothing. I am out of the Games folder entirely and the Bios folder with it.

Yes, I purchased a new Sandisk from Amazon to go with it and flashed it with 351ELEC Final.
No, this does restore the BIOS folder.

I tried starting over with a Bios set that looks very similar but its a problem.

So that is why I am requesting a backup copy of the firmware that came with the device.
Everyone who has the device should be making a backup or can make one.

WoW.... Tom. just no.... no and no.
Please go back and read the article that P1ngpong shared.
btw that's the guide I started with and if you read it then you'll know....
https://retrogamecorps.com/2020/10/09/rg351p-firmware-guide/#BIOS

And I got what I needed by extracting the BIOS folder from the official firmware.
Official Firmware (EmuELEC 3.8) (11/22/2020) Contains a complete BIOS folder.

EmuELEC v3.9 with latest update Contains an empty BIOS folder...
and why would EmuELEC contain illegal files? meh.....

Thank you!

If perhaps you read the full tutorial, and not just the tiny section p1ng linked, you'd see that it includes a copy of the firmware, which would include the BIOS folder. You don't need to backup anything, it's simply a recommendation, you can still flash the firmware.

I read the whole thing.... damn arrogant of you to say that.
351ELEC contains an Empty BIOS folder. PERIOD.
You'll have to extract it from the Official firmware.
Fuck.

Thank you,

Did you ever get the bios you needed because I ran into the same exact problem where my bios corrupted before I could make a copy...

You'll have to extract it from the Official Firmware which is no longer available using the Google Drive link above.

Ask the google for "retroarch system github"

I am also desperately searching for the RG351P BIOS folder/files but to no avail. I am at my wit's end with this as Being a complete noob to this, I flashed to 351Elec without saving the Emuelec BIOS folder. Please, please help me get this folder with the files.

Hello. My device too arrived with a corrupted memory card so I had no option but to directly flash it. Can you please share the bios files in PM.

Also, those who have it and can't share the files directly, is it possible to share a list of bios files and folder in a txt file via tree command? This will help those who gave this issue but have files from else where. I think the files are the same as that used in retropi
