The 1.8ghz NULL joystick version is fine. (Do NOT download the newMALI version)

You then want to decompress the .RAR file

Inside the folder there should be a file called UPDATE.IMG

Copy UPDATE.IMG to a microSD card that is smaller than 16GB

Put the microSD card that has UPDATE.IMG into your GPD XD in the back.

It should ask you if you want to install it

You should make sure that your GPD XD is fully charged

The system should reboot itself and begin installing LegacyROM

It'll take 10mins or so and also optimize apps

Once it's done, it'll ask you what launcher you want to use as default.

You can check to make sure it's running LegacyROM by going into the Settings - About page

You know have LegacyROM installed.
