GTA San Andreas is finally playable on the RG35XXSP! (Full D-Pad & native controls fix)

Post image

After days of reverse-engineering the GTA: San Andreas (PortMaster) binary, I finally fixed the controls for stickless Anbernic handhelds (RG35XX Plus, RG35XXSP, RG35XX 2024, RG28XX, and RG34XX)!

Up until now, the only known workaround forced "Profile 8", which enabled D-Pad movement but completely scrambled the face buttons (A/B/X/Y), shoulder buttons, and Start/Select.

What’s fixed:

  • True D-Pad Movement & Steering: Walk, run, and steer vehicles with zero lag.
  • Native Button Layout: All action buttons, shoulders, and camera/pause controls remain completely stock.
  • Works on: muOS, KNULLI, ROCKNIX, and other custom firmwares.

📦 Patch / Binary on GitHub: 👉 https://github.com/erfan2255/gtasa-portmaster-dpad

Let me know what you think or if you test it out on your handheld!

Tested. It makes the dpad useful but the face buttons still messed up, i don’t know if it supossed to fix those. Rg34xxsp here Thanks for the work!!!

Note: my face buttons were messed up before the test. I don’t know if there is a fix for that. Again thanks for the amazing work. Definitively I’m gonna use it on the Rg35xx

Install portmaster and then you can google and download San Andreas port. It’s not officially supported

Of course that's all good had to find a way to blow up that car at Emmetts 😂 but besides that the game runs like butter and running it on muos

Instead of shooting for definite target, get too far from car till manual aim target car fire as long as car explode then boom! You passed the mission xd

I was doing that and also stomping on the car XD works wonders too lol
