    Setup Guide[edit]

    Getting started[edit]

    • Boot the device and follow the on-screen prompts - device will be setup automatically (takes a few minutes).
    • Now you can use the Android operating system like on any mobile phone. Settings can be accessed by swiping down the screen twice.
    • Connect to your wifi.
    • There may be notification of a system update which you should perform (takes a few minutes).
    • Login to the Google Play Store and download the android games and emulators you want to have on your device
    • For downloading emulators, Obtainium plus the Obtainium Emulation Pack are recommended for new users.
    • There are multiple front-end/game launcher options for emulators. Daijishō and ES-DE Frontend are the most known launchers.

    Adding files[edit]

    Direct download[edit]

    You can download files directly on your RG406V with a browser. Firefox mobile with uBlock as an adblocker is pretty good for this.

    Transfer files from PC to your handheld[edit]

    There are multiple ways to do this. One simple and easy way is through SFTP connection. Once set up, this is a very convenient way to get files to your device(s).

    On the RG406V download a file manager of your choice with SFTP support. For example:

  • Open your file manager (Cx File Explorer in this case)
  • Start the networking service
  • Now you see the credentials you have to use on your PC

    • On PC you can use a file manager like FileZilla or WinSCP and connect to your device.

  • File manager on PC (FileZilla)
