Then I saw that u/onionsaregross aka Russ of RetroGameCorps posted a video about another custom OS, JELOS, yielding improvements in emulation performance and the user experience over the stock firmware on the 353P, much the same as AmberELEC had done for my 351M. I had tried JELOS before on the 351M but switched back to AmberELEC over some personal preferences. Upon trying it again on my 353P, I found JELOS was indeed quite good and very similar to AmberELEC, so I went about adapting to it.
I was a happy longtime 351ELEC/AmberELEC user on my RG351M, but I wanted a device with a bit more capability, and really liked the specs and nostalgic form-factor of the RG353P. Sadly, as far as I can find, AmberELEC has yet to release a build for the RG353P, nor have I seen anything indicating that it is forthcoming, apart from the response that it is to be released, then it will be announced in their Discord.
So after this final JELOS binary release, and barring a suprise AmerELEC 353P announcement, the remaining ready-to-flash OS'es with ongoing support for the 353P will be: This last build of JELOS, or the stock OS, or RetroArena, or ArkOS via the 353V build (which apparently requires a shoulder button remap but is otherwise 353P-compatible).
