This is how to install the custom firmware RetroFW on RS-97 or LDK:

2) Prepare the RetroFW

You need first download the lastest firmware from here (.zip package). Next extract these contents in any folder (like the downloads folder) and open it. Inside open the file RetroGame_X.bat (where X is your console version, for example LDK is 2.1_B). It will open and close instantly, just few lines appears, don't worry.

Finally you need to write the software in the SD, you can download Win32DiskImager here. Next open the program and search/select the RetroFW.img image file (remember to select the SD card device letter too) and press Write. Note: The SD card will get extracted/inserted, if the system ask you to format it just cancel.
