    Setup Guide

    Getting started

    • 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

    Direct download

    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

    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.
