351elec and arkos are still actively updated. Whenever an emulator is discovered that is capable of running on these devices they add it. There just simply isn't very many stand alone emulators because it's difficult to configure them to run on these devices.

The stock OS is very buggy. Switch to JELOS or 351ELEC instead.

Oh, sorry, did not try that yet. But I am interested and found this on how to place it in ports and this which makes it seem a little difficult to make it work. Hope this helps anyway.

First of all, you should REALLY look into installing a custom firmware. The one it comes with is terrible (both for UI and actual game performance). But also the SD card it ships with WILL corrupt. My suggestion would be to buy a sandisk 64GB card and install the 351ELEC software. Russel from RetroGameCorps on Youtube has tutorials, it's pretty easy even if you've never done it before.

build implies creating a flashable image from source code. Reference https://github.com/351ELEC/351ELEC for build instructions. Since the build instructions are made for Ubuntu 20.04, you may have troubles getting it functional.

The current release as of this writing, build 20231201 ( =year-month-day; December 01 2023) for the X55 is here: https://github.com/JustEnoughLinuxOS/distribution/releases/download/20231201/JELOS-RK3566-X55.aarch64-20231201.img.gz

I have a RG353VS (non-android version) and I've installed JELOS 20230919, but it just won't recognize my second SD Card with roms.

I'm running Jelos 20230728, flashed to a new brand name microsd, and roms stored on another brand name microsd.

And finally, in addition to WuMMLe's Fork, your device is still supported with ongoing builds/updates by both AmberELEC and JELOS. They're a little bit different from ArkOS in that many emulator settings are accessed through EmulationStation submenus rather than via Retroarch itself, which can be quite convenient; AmberELEC builds come a little slower while JELOS builds come fairly frequently. Either is an excellent choice, but JELOS is a little more for the advanced user that isn't afraid to tinker a bit if a problem arises.

There is one other work around but it's not easy. This is a link that will explain. It's st the bottom of the 0603 update https://github.com/JustEnoughLinuxOS/distribution/releases/tag/20230603
