Just for clarification, there is a reason the roms partition is in ext4: it solves the battery drain issue that was already present in the batocera releases. I’m currently on v40 and formatted both sd cards to ext4 from the get go and upload roms via network. It can be really annoying to new users and these problems should be solved by the team but i don’t mind, i like the os, obviously using muOS or stock would be the clear answer but i’m personally waiting on more development of the systems before taking any firm decision on what to use
I'm waiting for this device to arrive, so in the meantime, I bought two SD cards. I plan to use two systems, like the stock system and Batocera, by swapping the SD cards as needed. If I use two systems this way, will I be able to access the games on the other SD card?
Well, I see no logical reason, why partition-formats can solve battery drain - I am using knulli-h700-rg35xx-h-40-20240721.img with reformated exFAT SHARE-partition wtithout battery drain so far...
I had a vastly different experience, im actually loving it. As far as the shared partition not being read by windows, there are developers options with in Knulli and you can format it as exfat or just connect to ftp and transfer away .
I'm glad you do. Throughout my testing, I felt like I would also love it if it weren't for the issues that I encountered. After these are ironed out, it'll be a really solid CFW. ❤️
Same I just did mine in exfat... Everything was seamless... Only issue I'm having at the moment is connecting to scraper to scrape box art, but that might be a scraper issue not a knulli one specifically. The emulation station look is just so good I can't go back to garlic os 2.0 unless they really overhaul it
I have to disagree on this one. I just flashed it, followed the directions on the web site which clearly state that ROM's must be loaded over the network (which worked super well and I much prefer to having to constantly move the SD card around), and I have a fully working and really beautiful Knulli installation. The whole process took an hour max and that was mainly just copying and organizing the ROM's.
I think that was my main problem with it, in the sense that it deviated from the common UX that most CFWs require. Breaking commonly expected UX like making the SD card impossible to be swapped around between the PC and handheld (on a non-Linux machine) will either not be a big deal for some, or a real dealbreaker for others. In any case, I'm gonna give it another chance soon in a future vid. I do have high hopes for this CFW, though.
@@VladNerd There is no system full ready for chinese consoles. There is three main system for Anbernic RG35XX+, RG35XX H, RG35XX SP, RG28XX, RG40xx H, etc. This is stock os, muos and Knulli. The one that I prefer is Knulli. Muos is very close but Knulli wins because savestate function. I like also its UI. We always back on the last used file/function.
By the time this video was published, the quickstart guide on the wiki clearly laid out all the steps - including ext4 (and how easy it is to access), remapping the buttons, how to use a dual card configuration (which I chose). I'm a total n00b when it comes to these - this is my first retro gaming device, and had no major issues beyond understanding the N,S,E,W buttons :). Once you quickly learned what needed to be, why not just re-start and use one SD card? That would have saved you all the pain with Portmaster? Lastly, as a nerd, doing a summary of installing WSL 2 would have shown everyone how easy it is to mount the ext4 card in Windows 11. I agree it's still got some rough edges, but I think the guide on the wiki would help most people avoid them.
Very good points, but the baseline standard should always be "how difficult it is compared to installing other CFW's". People like me and you have no problem resorting to reading the docs, but most people simply wouldn't, and this needs to be factored in. Basic things should always "just work". Fringe bugs are 100% acceptable though and every CFW has those. The UX shouldn't have been broken if I started out with 2 SD cards, for example. This is not a fringe bug. In my opinion, a public image shouldn't have been released without this being fixed [and other things, like detecting which device variant you have (h/plus,sp,etc) and mapping the controls for that specific thing (so the user doesn't start his experience with half the buttons unmapped on the H)]. Like I said in the video, I'm rooting for Knulli. Despite some criticism, I'm on their side and I want to love it. I just know that it needs a bit more dev time and polish, that's all. :)
@@VladNerd also fair points - I don't know how many people beyond nerds are even aware of the cfw scene, but we both agree that Knulli and beans have got bright futures, and both are showing Anbernic how they should be building their software to match the quality of their hardware 😁.
Knulli/Batocera has been my cfw of choice. Im still relatively new to handhelds (was pc emulation years back only) however ive had extensive experience with alpha testing from the gaming side of things. Ive tried muos but i found it to be less polished and a tad bit minimalist for my taste. But that is just my preference, theres a large portion of the community who love minimalist approach. Ive handed my console to little kids, adults and my teens, none of them have had issues using this CFW. Most confusion ive seen comes from the set up process (people not reading), physical hardware issues (faulty devices/incompatible wifi), and power users not understanding what a batocera based OS focus is.
I've been testing Knulli every day for 2 weeks. It is not Knullis fault that the micro SD card is in ext4 that is almost all Linux systems for these devices. I never had an issue with the analog sticks and buttons not working I don't get where this is coming from. As far as Portmaster it was there for me to install every time on my second card. And it worked perfectly. He did some things wrong right away that caused his own headaches
Interesting assumption that "I must've done something wrong" just because my results were not what you desired / expected. :) I did the most basic things possible that shouldn't have broken how the CFW runs. We need to be less biased with this kind of stuff. If it didn't work, it simply didn't work and this needs to be addressed, but this is literally a solvable problem. No sense defending software, software can always become better (and just like I said in the video, I'm looking forward to seeing Knulli polish some of the rough edges).
@@VladNerd software can always be better. But your results were not typical. I have made at least 10 different memory cards with Knulli just this past week and not 1 of them has the button or joystick issues you described or Portmaster problems. Knulli is not perfect and can be better.
I agree it’s not in a usable state for most people, but isn’t it still an Alpha build? I’m glad you made a video explaining the pains of getting this setup though. There is so much hype in the community for this OS but it seems like everyone is ignoring that it’s not ready.
I don't know, Vlad. In my experience, I burned the image to my card (single disk configuration), put it in and it built the Share partition. I put it back in my PC, and believe I had to go in to Disk Manager and just assign the partition a drive letter. Boom, popped right up and I copied my roms in Windows no problem. I'm using this as my main OS right now. MuOs is pretty darn good also.
Interesting. I may have confused some things from what I was told. I'll check it out later a bit and update the pinned comment in case I got that part wrong. Thanks!
For me I can't also assign a letter for the space on the SD card (Yeah, it's there. But windows don't allow me to assign it to a Drive Letter) Have to do all by network.
@2annie1chalice11 You need to format the SD card from within Knulli. Go to system settings, frondend developer options, then format disk. Change file system to expat, and proceed with format. After everything is complete, shut down, remove sd card and put into your device. It should read it automatically but if not, go into disk management, go to the share partition, and assign drive letter. Please note you do this at your own risk. I have not had any issue but who's to say you will or not.
Thanks for saving my time, as person how just want play and not tinkering my device to work probably with more attractive UI, I am okay with the factory UI.
Just installed the newest release on a RG40xx H I bought for my Mom. No mapping was needed. It's pretty awesome so far. Once I got used to it, I find the wireless internet rom transfer method is actually a lot better than using a dongle. I can modify titles, and refresh the games list right away. On device scraping is next level, IMO. Still using MuOS on my RG35xxh because its fast boot, quick shutdown and auto resume, but Knulli is mother flippin awesome RN. Gameplay video preview while browsing is awesome!
Agreed. Using on rg35xx h and I love the internet transfer method. No more pulling my sd card in and out / using an adaptor. Latest version support sp hinges as well.
Currently considering installing Knulli on my delivering RG40XX too, since I heard that Knulli can connect the device with BLT Headphones, which stock OS couldn't. Really a game changer.
@@haanhbui1254 yes bluetooth headphone is great. Only problem is I have to turn off WiFi when using it or I get stutter. Also I need to reconnect it everytime I restart.
I had a very different experience, but I did the upgrade route from Batocera v40 to Knulli. I can access my ROM partition and my buttons were all mapped. Maybe install Batocera v40, then update to Knulli and try again.
Funnily enough, the thing that put me off Koriki was that on first boot after flash the control mapping was completely borked. I couldn't navigate the UI properly. eventually figured it out and managed to wrestle my way to remapping. and then found out my ROM foilder setup I'd used previously didn't match what they wanted so I couldn't see half my ROMs. I'm sure Batocera is great, but that initial experience put me off, the thought of any further troubleshooting didn't appeal, and then I saw Vlad's video on MuOS and haven't looked back
If you're coming from Batocera then the device should still read the roms from the SD card even if you do a fresh install of Knulli on SD1, Vlad is coming from either Stock OS or Muos where the file structure is completely different and neither Batocera or Knulli will read the 2nd SD card correctly. Only issue with just using the Batocera SD2 card with Knulli is that Portmaster may not work, the work around is trying to download the Install Portmaster script from the Knulli site and if that doesn't work you WILL need a formatted SD card in EXT4 format. Unlike what Vlad says about formatting there are windows programs you can use to format into the EXT4 format.
yes ...... knulli frustrated me as well , then when i noticed certain system / games ran poorly on it i switched back to batocera 40 where everything that ran poorly ran smoothly ....... 🤷🏾♂️
you can just transfer the roms to the device over wifi from windows - if you're connected to the same network, you can see KNULLI as a network device in windows (or access it by going to \\KNULLI in windows explorer), so that's actually a more comfortable way of transfering files to the device than literally any other handheld I've ever had - no need to remove the SD card, no need to connect any cables...
I know, and that's great. But most people would still swap their micro sd's between their PC and handheld. Things not functioning properly with a normal card swap for direct transfer would really put new people off, I think.
I personally don't get people's issues with KNULLI. I'm far from a tech person, but I've had zero issues using this OS on my PLUS and SP 35XX editions. Bluetooth Audio and Controllers support, zero issues with HDMI, zero issues with connecting to the device over WiFi to transfer files (Linux is in NO WAY needed!), love the onboard scrapper, love Port Master. Everyone is entitled to their preferences, but I do believe people should give KNULLI a better chance. It's not perfect, but I do personally think it's better than MuOS. ❤
@@holgerprahl9269 Missing? I can play videos no problem on KNULLI for SP. Not sure about music, but I imagine it's probably the same as videos. What happens when you try to play media?
@@holgerprahl9269 On KNULLI, when you connect to the Share folder via Network on a PC (no idea about Mac) there is a folder called 'Library'. I just drop my video files in there, then they appear in a new folder on the device and can be played directly that way. There's another one, called music, that I assume would function the same way for mp3 files.
Thank goodness we have our man Vlad that makes this hair pulling sacrifices for us, may your lost years be forever remembered by those that you have saved.
Yeah, i'm with you. After I finished getting set up (including cloud saves) I had a thought that I probably would have just been fine with the stock OS on the RG35XXSP, even without cloud saves. I had a rough time getting set up on Android 14 and it was still only half as difficult as using Knulli. That said, I expect it will get better and I'm keeping it on my device for now.
Can't say i agree, if knulli users read the documentation it makes much of your concerns clear. No issues not being able to access the roms partition as i prefer smb transfer over wifi and better portmaster support
Oh God, how i love you Vlad. I certainly love Knulli and MuOs, but both for me has some problems. Until now, i wasnt able to use Portmaster in Knulli til see your video, you explain and solved my problem with it. Obviously, I understand you, and share the same problems with you. I have both handhelds (Plus and H, I refuse to say RG35XX) and I use 4 SD cards (3 16Gb for systems - MuOS/Knulli/Stock Mod and 1 128gb for games), so yeah... Definitely im not a normal person, i enjoy more changing the systems and testing all of them (freaking hell)... Anyway, what i can say, i am enthusiastic
I just installed Knulli on the SP a couple of hours ago. I put my Batocera card from my Steam Deck in the 2nd slot, found the setting to poit it there, and everything is there. All I had to do was remap the controls. The modified stock os is best right now, but Knulli seems close.
I think you are being a little bit harsh . It is after all a cfw where people take their own time making it without any payments. Making it work is not as simple as "editing a config file" like you said. it involves drivers, coding in C and much more. if its as simple as editing a config file i am pretty sure it would have be done by now. compiling the knulli image from source takes up to 6 hours in my beefy pc . so testing everyone of these changes would take ages.
When I mentioned "as simple as editing a config file", I specifically meant about scaling the PPSSPP UI. I think this specific one might in fact be just a config file edit. 😄 The rest, I totally agree with. A CFW is a monumental amount of work, and I wouldn't ever want the Knulli guys to think like I don't appreciate it. By the end, I emphasize how this can be one of the best CFW's that we have. :)
@@VladNerd thanks for your kind reply. I am actually working on a fork of knulli albeit having a minimal approach but for now it is only for rg28xx. I will hit you up when an alpha is finished
Wow, after all that tinkering to night, I finally got it up and running. But Ouch. What a pain in the backside. This is not as easy as it looks And on the RG28XX It's not a walk in a park to get this firmware up and running, but it. looks clean once you get it installed. Be sure and listen very well to what he says, because you have to go in and point the SD card to the games. after that you should be up and ready to go. Thank God for someone that gives it a good review like this and tells properly how to install this operating system, although it's not the best, it looks much better than the stock O. S.
Just give them a few months or a year.. it'll gonna be there.. I got some serious problem with MuOS. But devs of MuOS actually listened and guided me through to troubleshoot the problems.. Also they guided me through portmaster and installing Stardew Valley. For Knulli.. i dunno, need a reserch for that one..
Fortunately for me my experience with Knulli on the SP so far has been really good. To add my ROMs I connect my SP to the internet, then access it from my PC's Network section in file explorer. Click on KNULLI device, and I'm done. The transfer speeds are fast. I only play N64 and below on the SP, so PPSSPP issues aren't a concern for my experience on the SP. I use other devices for those games. Portmaster on my SP has been great. Sonic Mania, VVVVVV, Apotris, Celeste Classic, and Space Cadet Pinball work flawlessly. Performance issues only occur with some more demanding titles like Sonic RB2 Kart, which runs at 5fps. I hope they fix the display output compatibility though. While I'll never use it, I plan to gift an SP to my nephew who might want to use it on his TV and I don't want him to run into hard to fix issues.
That's the impression I had of knulli as well, I'm glad you made this video to confirm my suspicion. Btw there are drivers for windows that let you use Linux partitions in Windows made by paragon. Te pup Vlad, le găsești pe site-ul cu lista de fișiere ;)
Hey man, I know this video is a couple of days old now but a good guide on getting native pico-8 on knulli would be awesome. The written guides are a bit intimidating to someone who has never done something like that before
Some of the problems you had migrated from V40. In most of the cases I've researched and helped people fix, they seem to be "glued" and a bit worse in Knulli early updates. I totally agree that it needs some more tweaking/polishing, it is hard work indeed, but, think we'll be compensated soon. I came from V40 and hated muOS UI, but with all the muOS newest upgrades it became my favourite CFW. Even as a Knulli supporter, I couldn't muster the courage to try it again. Hope that better news come soon and I surely don't want Knulli to be facing the three underworld judges haha.
I've personally been loving Knulli ever since the first Alpha. Granted, I have a fairly high tinkering threshold. I think the morale of the story is maybe these sorts of devices aren't necessarily suitable for non-nerd-minded individuals. Love your videos man, but the thumbnail is a bit harsh imo
Fair criticism. For "nerds" like us, Knulli I think is doable. But I still think it needs more time to iron out some things before the average nerd Joe will be able to comfortably install and use it. :)
Great channel. You're always on point. On the RG28xx, Knulli doesn't load Dreamcast games. It's a bummer. I really like this interface but no point if you can't play your favorite games. I'm going back to the Anbernic's OS for now. Let's hope they fix all that.
To BE honest it needs dual Card config. Cause of Ext4 shananigans but since it has OTA Over the board you can build and scrape and when it his better simply update. Portmaster is a hot mess because of that i go for MU OS. But this hás the higest potencial
Your frustrations seem unwarranted. Here's a few points. A. The Public version is free. B. It's a cfw the average person is gunna stick with stock. C. Yes it requires set up but the final product outweights it by country mile.
We agree to disagree. :) Don't get me like, I like Knulli for what it is, but I (and all of us for that matter) must hold it to the same standard that other CFW's have set. muOS by comparison is super plug and play and requires very little tinkering, so we must view Knulli with similar expectations in order for it to receive no or little constructive criticism. One can do amazing things in Knulli, but the fact of the matter is that it's one of the most difficult ones to set up when we compare it to other options. :)
I love Vlad but disagree with his assessment. Knulli works great on the Trumui Smart Pro, with the exception of most of the PSP library. Aside from that it's great! The stock OS for the TSP and Tomato OS are not good. BTW you can reformat the SD card within Knulli and boom your sd card can be read. In Windows. I put a couple of my PSP games in the correct folder and it read it populated just fine.
That's perfectly ok, my guy. I love different opinions and takes, and I'm totally open to them. :) I have a TSP chilling around, I might check it out there as well when I get the chance. Thanks for the comment. ❤️
@VladNerd Thanks, Vlad! Don't expect much PSP play out of it as a few of the library only plays well and also on the next update, PPSSPP should be fully functional. Should be releasing soon.
MANY PEOPLE use FTP to transfer roms especially if you have other hacked consoles like PSVita, N3DS, Wii U, PS3, PS4, PS5....Even other chinese retro handhelds by Powkiddy. FTP completely negates the need to constantly pull out the SD card from a device. Also for the Install Portmaster script to show up on the 2nd SD card, the 2nd SD card needs to be a clean formatted unused SD card.
How do you stay motivated to tinker and make videos when you are not sure if your efforts will pay off financially for your channel? Love your content and appreciate your help as always
Sigh, this makes me sad. My expectations were a bit too high. I'm getting my H tomorrow and really haven't decided what I want to do yet. I know switches cfw is usually easy enough but I just want to set and forget it. At this point I would just go muos but no scraping has been a deal breaker. I may just suck it up at this point and do it manually since it really seems to be the best option at this point.
would love to see more batocera-type CFW for my H since I love emulationstation, but muOS is just too good right now so it's hard to look the other way (at the moment, at least) great video btw, fellow nerd
I returned to your video and followed every single problem with knulli, and fixed them all after install.. What i fixed so far. 1. Controls mapping. 2. ppsspp scaling, actually there is some tinkering around to scale it. 3. PortMaster games and ctd problems. (U need to properly install portmaster, reboot, update, install games, then transfer game files to proper locations, reboot, map controls.) Too much reboots at this point. Also for portmaster scrip - first time use 1 sd card to get script. Save it. Then add second sd dard. Few other fixes i found for myself to make everything esier, but probaly will not mention because too long to type.. Knulli discrod community is filled with questions and everyone has their own solutions. Hope they will read those and make update with all fixes.
You're a more patient soul than I. I still think that these will be fixed once Knulli sees more polish. I just don't think that such issues should ever touch end users. I'll probably be giving Knulli another go in 2-3 months. :)
I tried updating the software by exchanging the batocera file with the batocera.update file from the stable release and it literally broke my system. Everytime I boot up it just gets stuck at a splash screen so yeah, I gave up and just went wack to the koriki alpha build. I honestly didn't know these things had so many issues as this was my first time doing stuff like this but yeah, needless to say I'm a bit more scared about updates now.
Knulli is a modified version of Batocera, meaning everything you need to config is in the menu itself. Start -> Controller & Bluetooth Settings -> Player Assignments: Change from Default to #0 DEEPLAY-KEYS
I'm currently using batocera on my RG35XXH and whenever I open a game on any emulator it immediately closes and takes me back to the games list. Can anyone help me fix this? All of this is completely new to me.
I like your channel but this is a pretty ridiculous video buddy. I'm running it on both the Plus and the H with zero issues. You can format the Share partition on the card for exFat in Knulli if you insist on using windows. Also, for the record, the Batocera v39 for the rg552 is EXACTLY the same in this respect. Should I not have installed that? And when you get in for the first time you should always map your controller.
I totally agree that you can make it functional, I said this exact same thing in the video. You have to however, be willing to do a lot of tinkering (way more than on other solutions) until you'd reach a truly workable state with it.
I think this is a little bit extreme for something that's given away for free. I mean yes I know that there's ways to support the creators but there's ways to get this completely free and use. Also to my knowledge I could be wrong but this is multiple people working on this so not sure why this criticism even if it's factual is even helpful. I think it'd be more helpful to point out that if you're going to use a custom firmware you should learn some basic things about using them first. I think that would be more useful and helpful. That being said enjoy your content and just trying to add in my viewpoint
@toddhowarddd no, he is right. His point is that it will take update to reduce the amount of tinkering. Come on man, what makes an OS more successful than others is making it more userfriendly and reduce the tinkering to a minimum. There is difference between customizing and tinkering!!!! Customizing, having to tinker can be very annoying, especially when you don't have time for that! He's right, because MUOS, for example, is the better OS here for this console. Knulli is good in that there is progress into making Batocera possible on the RGXX series. However it is in early development and has many bugs and stability issues + unforeseen stuff. This video, so people know what to expect. I'm happy about this video, so I'll stick with MUOS and not waste my time tearing my hair until my a55 is bold. Otherwise why watch such videos, these guys are fantastic!
3:14 @@paperoverflowMuOs isnt stable enough to be on any device to begin with.. Every little thing cause you to have to reflash.. Aweful os.. Id rather install android on my toaster than going back to MuOs. I dont get why it is recommended everywhere even to people like me who are new to this. And every google answer to the countless issue you encounter are : "Reflash your sd" ....
yeah using the adapter is one of the worst possible ways of transferring data, I feel like a caveman every time I have to do it. I'd much rather use software than deal with cables, ports, cards etc. if it can all be avoided. Did so since PS3. On many devices the card isn't that easy to access anyway or you store the roms on the built in hard disk. I'd rather not unscrew my console and unplug the disk every time I want a rom lol. It's a shame windows still can't access ext4 which has been around since 2006. Linux had full ntfs support since 2006, five years after XP came out and I believe it took so long only because of legal doubts. That's hardly Knulli's fault windows is as barebones as OSes come. Maybe your windows is the one not ready for use xd I understand it'd be better to not have to deal with it, but mapping buttons isn't something unheard of in any emulation, is it. IMO most of the potential users of this are people who put CFWs and modchips on their systems for dacades now, this is comparatively light experience from a non-commercial project. They didn't even expect you to build anything from source or run any weird programs on PC. Even portmaster takes more work. You literally had to tweak like 2 things, understand that there are other filesystems than the two microsoft knows and all that's left is the UI scaling bug. Changing ROMs on android is harder than that. Hell, configuring your router is harder than that.
Batocera 40b, Works perfect for me…??? i have one card for all my anbernic devices i like switching back and forth between my models, and even running batocera 40b on an hdd on my pc… no problems so far… now i like the rg35xx SP (psp) needs all the bios files!
It's a public release, that's why I tested it. It seemed like they stayed away from labeling it as "alpha" on their website & GitHub (or if they did, it wasn't really too noticeable). Trust me, I'm on their side. It's just that people testing it now would get frustrated, quit and then not try it in the future. I think Knulli will leave a way better impression to first timers after s couple (or so) more months. :)
Most likely everyone of your concern is caused by using a second tf card, the configurations, portmaster settings, etc are on the first card. It would not be hard to fix, and Knulli probably could easily incorporate it in the next release, like if it detect the second card to automatically copy over the configure file.
that sounds like you're not forgiving of peoples' accents at all, actually. :) Good thing there's a lot of non-accenty retro RUclipsrs in this space for you to watch, then.
Oh... You are using windows. There's your problem. I honestly think if these issues are deal breakers for you then you aren't really the target audience for this type of device in the first place. Maybe just stick to your switch lite.
This is some Linux-elitist logic right here. As a dude that's been using Linux distros on and off since 2007, I can say that this isn't the right mindset to have. Windows is used by the majority. All other custom firmwares can be tweaked and tuned under Windows. This needs to be the standard that any other CFW should be measured to. Expecting people to just "know and use Linux partitioning systems" for a CFW on a Linux Handheld is a sure-fire way to assuring that the CFW in question remains a microniche.

Just for clarification, there is a reason the roms partition is in ext4: it solves the battery drain issue that was already present in the batocera releases. I’m currently on v40 and formatted both sd cards to ext4 from the get go and upload roms via network. It can be really annoying to new users and these problems should be solved by the team but i don’t mind, i like the os, obviously using muOS or stock would be the clear answer but i’m personally waiting on more development of the systems before taking any firm decision on what to use
Also on ext4 for PortMaster
I'm waiting for this device to arrive, so in the meantime, I bought two SD cards. I plan to use two systems, like the stock system and Batocera, by swapping the SD cards as needed. If I use two systems this way, will I be able to access the games on the other SD card?
Well, I see no logical reason, why partition-formats can solve battery drain - I am using knulli-h700-rg35xx-h-40-20240721.img with reformated exFAT SHARE-partition wtithout battery drain so far...
I had a vastly different experience, im actually loving it. As far as the shared partition not being read by windows, there are developers options with in Knulli and you can format it as exfat or just connect to ftp and transfer away .

@@VladNerd There is no system full ready for chinese consoles. There is three main system for Anbernic RG35XX+, RG35XX H, RG35XX SP, RG28XX, RG40xx H, etc. This is stock os, muos and Knulli. The one that I prefer is Knulli. Muos is very close but Knulli wins because savestate function. I like also its UI. We always back on the last used file/function.
By the time this video was published, the quickstart guide on the wiki clearly laid out all the steps - including ext4 (and how easy it is to access), remapping the buttons, how to use a dual card configuration (which I chose). I'm a total n00b when it comes to these - this is my first retro gaming device, and had no major issues beyond understanding the N,S,E,W buttons :). Once you quickly learned what needed to be, why not just re-start and use one SD card? That would have saved you all the pain with Portmaster? Lastly, as a nerd, doing a summary of installing WSL 2 would have shown everyone how easy it is to mount the ext4 card in Windows 11.
I agree it's still got some rough edges, but I think the guide on the wiki would help most people avoid them.
Very good points, but the baseline standard should always be "how difficult it is compared to installing other CFW's".
People like me and you have no problem resorting to reading the docs, but most people simply wouldn't, and this needs to be factored in. Basic things should always "just work". Fringe bugs are 100% acceptable though and every CFW has those.
The UX shouldn't have been broken if I started out with 2 SD cards, for example. This is not a fringe bug. In my opinion, a public image shouldn't have been released without this being fixed [and other things, like detecting which device variant you have (h/plus,sp,etc) and mapping the controls for that specific thing (so the user doesn't start his experience with half the buttons unmapped on the H)].
Like I said in the video, I'm rooting for Knulli. Despite some criticism, I'm on their side and I want to love it. I just know that it needs a bit more dev time and polish, that's all. :)
@@VladNerd also fair points - I don't know how many people beyond nerds are even aware of the cfw scene, but we both agree that Knulli and beans have got bright futures, and both are showing Anbernic how they should be building their software to match the quality of their hardware 😁.
Knulli/Batocera has been my cfw of choice. Im still relatively new to handhelds (was pc emulation years back only) however ive had extensive experience with alpha testing from the gaming side of things. Ive tried muos but i found it to be less polished and a tad bit minimalist for my taste. But that is just my preference, theres a large portion of the community who love minimalist approach. Ive handed my console to little kids, adults and my teens, none of them have had issues using this CFW. Most confusion ive seen comes from the set up process (people not reading), physical hardware issues (faulty devices/incompatible wifi), and power users not understanding what a batocera based OS focus is.
Just purely curious: what is a Batocera-based OS’s focus?
Coming from a complete noob, I just like how clean and pretty the interface looks
I've been testing Knulli every day for 2 weeks. It is not Knullis fault that the micro SD card is in ext4 that is almost all Linux systems for these devices. I never had an issue with the analog sticks and buttons not working I don't get where this is coming from. As far as Portmaster it was there for me to install every time on my second card. And it worked perfectly. He did some things wrong right away that caused his own headaches
Interesting assumption that "I must've done something wrong" just because my results were not what you desired / expected. :)
I did the most basic things possible that shouldn't have broken how the CFW runs. We need to be less biased with this kind of stuff. If it didn't work, it simply didn't work and this needs to be addressed, but this is literally a solvable problem.
No sense defending software, software can always become better (and just like I said in the video, I'm looking forward to seeing Knulli polish some of the rough edges).
@@VladNerd software can always be better. But your results were not typical. I have made at least 10 different memory cards with Knulli just this past week and not 1 of them has the button or joystick issues you described or Portmaster problems. Knulli is not perfect and can be better.
Most of the CFW for these devices are sub par at the moment imo, the Stock OS is still the best performance wise just has a junk front end .
Bro, this is the best cfw I used so far
I agree it’s not in a usable state for most people, but isn’t it still an Alpha build? I’m glad you made a video explaining the pains of getting this setup though. There is so much hype in the community for this OS but it seems like everyone is ignoring that it’s not ready.
Regarding the EXT4-Issue: With the internal format tool you can change the SHARE partition from EXT4 to EXFAT (under "Frontend Developer Options")
This.
Depends how important port master games are to the user
I don't know, Vlad. In my experience, I burned the image to my card (single disk configuration), put it in and it built the Share partition. I put it back in my PC, and believe I had to go in to Disk Manager and just assign the partition a drive letter. Boom, popped right up and I copied my roms in Windows no problem. I'm using this as my main OS right now. MuOs is pretty darn good also.
Interesting. I may have confused some things from what I was told. I'll check it out later a bit and update the pinned comment in case I got that part wrong. Thanks!
I had same, i also run 1 card and works great, i add/remove games daily via windows 11 and swap between rg35xxplus/rg35xxH/rg35xxSP
For me I can't also assign a letter for the space on the SD card (Yeah, it's there. But windows don't allow me to assign it to a Drive Letter)
Have to do all by network.
@2annie1chalice11 You need to format the SD card from within Knulli. Go to system settings, frondend developer options, then format disk. Change file system to expat, and proceed with format. After everything is complete, shut down, remove sd card and put into your device. It should read it automatically but if not, go into disk management, go to the share partition, and assign drive letter. Please note you do this at your own risk. I have not had any issue but who's to say you will or not.
Thanks for saving my time, as person how just want play and not tinkering my device to work probably with more attractive UI, I am okay with the factory UI.
Just installed the newest release on a RG40xx H I bought for my Mom. No mapping was needed. It's pretty awesome so far. Once I got used to it, I find the wireless internet rom transfer method is actually a lot better than using a dongle. I can modify titles, and refresh the games list right away. On device scraping is next level, IMO. Still using MuOS on my RG35xxh because its fast boot, quick shutdown and auto resume, but Knulli is mother flippin awesome RN. Gameplay video preview while browsing is awesome!
Agreed. Using on rg35xx h and I love the internet transfer method. No more pulling my sd card in and out / using an adaptor. Latest version support sp hinges as well.
Yes, looks perfect, the only thig I miss is the media-player, that the small firmware for AMBERNIC RG351P already had years ago...
Currently considering installing Knulli on my delivering RG40XX too, since I heard that Knulli can connect the device with BLT Headphones, which stock OS couldn't. Really a game changer.
@@haanhbui1254 yes bluetooth headphone is great. Only problem is I have to turn off WiFi when using it or I get stutter. Also I need to reconnect it everytime I restart.
I had a very different experience, but I did the upgrade route from Batocera v40 to Knulli. I can access my ROM partition and my buttons were all mapped. Maybe install Batocera v40, then update to Knulli and try again.
Funnily enough, the thing that put me off Koriki was that on first boot after flash the control mapping was completely borked. I couldn't navigate the UI properly. eventually figured it out and managed to wrestle my way to remapping. and then found out my ROM foilder setup I'd used previously didn't match what they wanted so I couldn't see half my ROMs. I'm sure Batocera is great, but that initial experience put me off, the thought of any further troubleshooting didn't appeal, and then I saw Vlad's video on MuOS and haven't looked back
If you're coming from Batocera then the device should still read the roms from the SD card even if you do a fresh install of Knulli on SD1, Vlad is coming from either Stock OS or Muos where the file structure is completely different and neither Batocera or Knulli will read the 2nd SD card correctly. Only issue with just using the Batocera SD2 card with Knulli is that Portmaster may not work, the work around is trying to download the Install Portmaster script from the Knulli site and if that doesn't work you WILL need a formatted SD card in EXT4 format. Unlike what Vlad says about formatting there are windows programs you can use to format into the EXT4 format.
yes ...... knulli frustrated me as well , then when i noticed certain system / games ran poorly on it i switched back to batocera 40 where everything that ran poorly ran smoothly ....... 🤷🏾♂️
you can just transfer the roms to the device over wifi from windows - if you're connected to the same network, you can see KNULLI as a network device in windows (or access it by going to \\KNULLI in windows explorer), so that's actually a more comfortable way of transfering files to the device than literally any other handheld I've ever had - no need to remove the SD card, no need to connect any cables...
I know, and that's great. But most people would still swap their micro sd's between their PC and handheld.
Things not functioning properly with a normal card swap for direct transfer would really put new people off, I think.
Yes, this is the way.
Yes! and this feature is awsome. My experience is 99% possitive
I personally don't get people's issues with KNULLI. I'm far from a tech person, but I've had zero issues using this OS on my PLUS and SP 35XX editions. Bluetooth Audio and Controllers support, zero issues with HDMI, zero issues with connecting to the device over WiFi to transfer files (Linux is in NO WAY needed!), love the onboard scrapper, love Port Master. Everyone is entitled to their preferences, but I do believe people should give KNULLI a better chance. It's not perfect, but I do personally think it's better than MuOS. ❤
so I do, exept the missing media-plaver...
@@holgerprahl9269 Missing? I can play videos no problem on KNULLI for SP. Not sure about music, but I imagine it's probably the same as videos. What happens when you try to play media?
@@AJDonnelly I´d like to put my mp3 and mp4-files to the SD-card and play them - please let me know howto...
@@holgerprahl9269 On KNULLI, when you connect to the Share folder via Network on a PC (no idea about Mac) there is a folder called 'Library'. I just drop my video files in there, then they appear in a new folder on the device and can be played directly that way. There's another one, called music, that I assume would function the same way for mp3 files.
Thank goodness we have our man Vlad that makes this hair pulling sacrifices for us, may your lost years be forever remembered by those that you have saved.
Yeah, i'm with you. After I finished getting set up (including cloud saves) I had a thought that I probably would have just been fine with the stock OS on the RG35XXSP, even without cloud saves. I had a rough time getting set up on Android 14 and it was still only half as difficult as using Knulli. That said, I expect it will get better and I'm keeping it on my device for now.
Can't say i agree, if knulli users read the documentation it makes much of your concerns clear.
No issues not being able to access the roms partition as i prefer smb transfer over wifi and better portmaster support
Oh God, how i love you Vlad. I certainly love Knulli and MuOs, but both for me has some problems. Until now, i wasnt able to use Portmaster in Knulli til see your video, you explain and solved my problem with it.
Obviously, I understand you, and share the same problems with you. I have both handhelds (Plus and H, I refuse to say RG35XX) and I use 4 SD cards (3 16Gb for systems - MuOS/Knulli/Stock Mod and 1 128gb for games), so yeah... Definitely im not a normal person, i enjoy more changing the systems and testing all of them (freaking hell)... Anyway, what i can say, i am enthusiastic
knulli definitely has a lot of great potential but for now i dont think it should be treated as anything more than an experimental pre alpha
I just installed Knulli on the SP a couple of hours ago. I put my Batocera card from my Steam Deck in the 2nd slot, found the setting to poit it there, and everything is there. All I had to do was remap the controls. The modified stock os is best right now, but Knulli seems close.
I think you are being a little bit harsh . It is after all a cfw where people take their own time making it without any payments. Making it work is not as simple as "editing a config file" like you said. it involves drivers, coding in C and much more. if its as simple as editing a config file i am pretty sure it would have be done by now.
compiling the knulli image from source takes up to 6 hours in my beefy pc . so testing everyone of these changes would take ages.
When I mentioned "as simple as editing a config file", I specifically meant about scaling the PPSSPP UI. I think this specific one might in fact be just a config file edit. 😄
The rest, I totally agree with. A CFW is a monumental amount of work, and I wouldn't ever want the Knulli guys to think like I don't appreciate it. By the end, I emphasize how this can be one of the best CFW's that we have. :)
@@VladNerd thanks for your kind reply. I am actually working on a fork of knulli albeit having a minimal approach but for now it is only for rg28xx. I will hit you up when an alpha is finished
So if I don't mind ext4 file system (Steam Deck
Was just wondering about this. Your video uploaded just in time!
Solution for the ext4-problem is to format the partition to exFat using the free Minitool Partition Wizzard 12 on Windows...
Wow, after all that tinkering to night, I finally got it up and running. But Ouch. What a pain in the backside. This is not as easy as it looks And on the RG28XX It's not a walk in a park to get this firmware up and running, but it. looks clean once you get it installed. Be sure and listen very well to what he says, because you have to go in and point the SD card to the games. after that you should be up and ready to go. Thank God for someone that gives it a good review like this and tells properly how to install this operating system, although it's not the best, it looks much better than the stock O. S.
Just give them a few months or a year.. it'll gonna be there.. I got some serious problem with MuOS. But devs of MuOS actually listened and guided me through to troubleshoot the problems.. Also they guided me through portmaster and installing Stardew Valley. For Knulli.. i dunno, need a reserch for that one..
I totally agree. Given more time, they can make Knulli a really viable option.
Fortunately for me my experience with Knulli on the SP so far has been really good.
To add my ROMs I connect my SP to the internet, then access it from my PC's Network section in file explorer. Click on KNULLI device, and I'm done. The transfer speeds are fast. I only play N64 and below on the SP, so PPSSPP issues aren't a concern for my experience on the SP. I use other devices for those games. Portmaster on my SP has been great. Sonic Mania, VVVVVV, Apotris, Celeste Classic, and Space Cadet Pinball work flawlessly. Performance issues only occur with some more demanding titles like Sonic RB2 Kart, which runs at 5fps. I hope they fix the display output compatibility though. While I'll never use it, I plan to gift an SP to my nephew who might want to use it on his TV and I don't want him to run into hard to fix issues.
That's the impression I had of knulli as well, I'm glad you made this video to confirm my suspicion. Btw there are drivers for windows that let you use Linux partitions in Windows made by paragon.
Te pup Vlad, le găsești pe site-ul cu lista de fișiere ;)
Hey man, I know this video is a couple of days old now but a good guide on getting native pico-8 on knulli would be awesome. The written guides are a bit intimidating to someone who has never done something like that before
Some of the problems you had migrated from V40. In most of the cases I've researched and helped people fix, they seem to be "glued" and a bit worse in Knulli early updates. I totally agree that it needs some more tweaking/polishing, it is hard work indeed, but, think we'll be compensated soon.
I came from V40 and hated muOS UI, but with all the muOS newest upgrades it became my favourite CFW. Even as a Knulli supporter, I couldn't muster the courage to try it again. Hope that better news come soon and I surely don't want Knulli to be facing the three underworld judges haha.
i tried GarlicOS and Knulli... end up going back to stock OS because transferring ROM's and headaches flashing
In muOS you can put your rooms in any sort of folder but in knulli you gotta figure out which of the 50+ folders you gotta put them in, so annoying
I've personally been loving Knulli ever since the first Alpha. Granted, I have a fairly high tinkering threshold. I think the morale of the story is maybe these sorts of devices aren't necessarily suitable for non-nerd-minded individuals. Love your videos man, but the thumbnail is a bit harsh imo
Fair criticism. For "nerds" like us, Knulli I think is doable. But I still think it needs more time to iron out some things before the average nerd Joe will be able to comfortably install and use it. :)
@@VladNerd Keep up the great content though man; you're epic!
Keep your chin up VladNerd, you bring sunshine our way, even when we are feeling down. Love your vids! 😊
I needed this comment today. Thanks so much, my sweet nerd! ❤️
Great channel. You're always on point. On the RG28xx, Knulli doesn't load Dreamcast games. It's a bummer. I really like this interface but no point if you can't play your favorite games. I'm going back to the Anbernic's OS for now. Let's hope they fix all that.
To BE honest it needs dual Card config. Cause of Ext4 shananigans but since it has OTA Over the board you can build and scrape and when it his better simply update. Portmaster is a hot mess because of that i go for MU OS. But this hás the higest potencial
Your frustrations seem unwarranted. Here's a few points. A. The Public version is free. B. It's a cfw the average person is gunna stick with stock. C. Yes it requires set up but the final product outweights it by country mile.
We agree to disagree. :)
Don't get me like, I like Knulli for what it is, but I (and all of us for that matter) must hold it to the same standard that other CFW's have set.
muOS by comparison is super plug and play and requires very little tinkering, so we must view Knulli with similar expectations in order for it to receive no or little constructive criticism.
One can do amazing things in Knulli, but the fact of the matter is that it's one of the most difficult ones to set up when we compare it to other options. :)
I love Vlad but disagree with his assessment. Knulli works great on the Trumui Smart Pro, with the exception of most of the PSP library. Aside from that it's great! The stock OS for the TSP and Tomato OS are not good. BTW you can reformat the SD card within Knulli and boom your sd card can be read. In Windows. I put a couple of my PSP games in the correct folder and it read it populated just fine.
That's perfectly ok, my guy. I love different opinions and takes, and I'm totally open to them. :)
I have a TSP chilling around, I might check it out there as well when I get the chance. Thanks for the comment. ❤️
@VladNerd Thanks, Vlad! Don't expect much PSP play out of it as a few of the library only plays well and also on the next update, PPSSPP should be fully functional. Should be releasing soon.
I installed Knulli but immediately ran into the issue where the triggers aren't being registered while playing a game, but work just fine as hotkeys.
MANY PEOPLE use FTP to transfer roms especially if you have other hacked consoles like PSVita, N3DS, Wii U, PS3, PS4, PS5....Even other chinese retro handhelds by Powkiddy. FTP completely negates the need to constantly pull out the SD card from a device. Also for the Install Portmaster script to show up on the 2nd SD card, the 2nd SD card needs to be a clean formatted unused SD card.
I must be not part of that many. I do things the classic way. Ftp is also awfully slow when transferring larger files.
I will stick with MUos as my main cfw for the RG35XXH its just simpler and it does everything i need it to do very well after the beans update.
How do you stay motivated to tinker and make videos when you are not sure if your efforts will pay off financially for your channel? Love your content and appreciate your help as always
I'm just passionate about this stuff. If I didn't like what I do here, it would've been impossible to create vids. :)
Sigh, this makes me sad. My expectations were a bit too high. I'm getting my H tomorrow and really haven't decided what I want to do yet. I know switches cfw is usually easy enough but I just want to set and forget it. At this point I would just go muos but no scraping has been a deal breaker. I may just suck it up at this point and do it manually since it really seems to be the best option at this point.
Knulli will be great, it just needs a bit more time. Don't cross it off the list yet. :)
muOS team is working on scrapping directly from the device. Don't know when/if it will be available, though
Otimo vídeo, eu que nao entendo inglês consegui entender todo conteúdo do video que foi muito bem explicado.
would love to see more batocera-type CFW for my H since I love emulationstation, but muOS is just too good right now so it's hard to look the other way (at the moment, at least)
great video btw, fellow nerd
More to come!
Btw, we have Batocera 40 for the H as a CFW. I made a video on it a month or so back. Check my video backlog. 😄
@@VladNerd already watched that vid. I've been lurking in your channel for a while now lol. keep up the great work vlad!
I returned to your video and followed every single problem with knulli, and fixed them all after install..
What i fixed so far.
1. Controls mapping.
2. ppsspp scaling, actually there is some tinkering around to scale it.
3. PortMaster games and ctd problems. (U need to properly install portmaster, reboot, update, install games, then transfer game files to proper locations, reboot, map controls.) Too much reboots at this point. Also for portmaster scrip - first time use 1 sd card to get script. Save it. Then add second sd dard. Few other fixes i found for myself to make everything esier, but probaly will not mention because too long to type.. Knulli discrod community is filled with questions and everyone has their own solutions. Hope they will read those and make update with all fixes.
You're a more patient soul than I. I still think that these will be fixed once Knulli sees more polish. I just don't think that such issues should ever touch end users.
I'll probably be giving Knulli another go in 2-3 months. :)
Man i couldnt get mybtoms to run on knulli at all i was up till the witching hour praying to old gods i finally gave up . Muos for the win .
I tried updating the software by exchanging the batocera file with the batocera.update file from the stable release and it literally broke my system.
Everytime I boot up it just gets stuck at a splash screen so yeah, I gave up and just went wack to the koriki alpha build.
I honestly didn't know these things had so many issues as this was my first time doing stuff like this but yeah, needless to say I'm a bit more scared about updates now.
Did they recommend doing that?
better no update, only new setup...
so what do you think is the best firmware on rg35xx h? especially performance on N64 emulation?
Does Batocera battery draining bug are also in knulli OS? pls answer gonna subscribe :)
Vlad, there is a July 21 update for Knulli.
I know, I'm hoping to make a vid on it pretty soon, it's just that I have some others lined up. Hope I'll get to cover it soon. :)
Can i still play wlan multiplayer in Knulli with 2 different Anbernics 35xxH devices?
I was bummed about portmaster. None of the buttons were mapped and I don't know how to do that
We'll just have to be patient, I guess. I'm sure the Knulli guys will make it stable pretty much plug & play at one point. :)
Knulli is a modified version of Batocera, meaning everything you need to config is in the menu itself. Start -> Controller & Bluetooth Settings -> Player Assignments: Change from Default to #0 DEEPLAY-KEYS
Thanks for the kisses at the end, made my day :)
I'm currently using batocera on my RG35XXH and whenever I open a game on any emulator it immediately closes and takes me back to the games list. Can anyone help me fix this? All of this is completely new to me.
You are probably missing bios files.
@@tommy6742 but they all worked, then they just stopped working randomly.
Hi Vlad, does knulli support J2ME?
I keep going back to the stock os and modded stock but i have hopes for knulli in the future
Good job Vlad. I actually learned some things in your video and on comment section. I installed this on trimui and didn't convince me either atm..
Its been wonderful for me except long presses dont favorite games and NDS games wont boot and i got no option to switch enulator to drastic from melon
I like your channel but this is a pretty ridiculous video buddy. I'm running it on both the Plus and the H with zero issues. You can format the Share partition on the card for exFat in Knulli if you insist on using windows. Also, for the record, the Batocera v39 for the rg552 is EXACTLY the same in this respect. Should I not have installed that? And when you get in for the first time you should always map your controller.
I totally agree that you can make it functional, I said this exact same thing in the video. You have to however, be willing to do a lot of tinkering (way more than on other solutions) until you'd reach a truly workable state with it.
I think this is a little bit extreme for something that's given away for free. I mean yes I know that there's ways to support the creators but there's ways to get this completely free and use. Also to my knowledge I could be wrong but this is multiple people working on this so not sure why this criticism even if it's factual is even helpful. I think it'd be more helpful to point out that if you're going to use a custom firmware you should learn some basic things about using them first. I think that would be more useful and helpful. That being said enjoy your content and just trying to add in my viewpoint
So... Don't tinker with your device and change the firmware then???
@toddhowarddd no, he is right. His point is that it will take update to reduce the amount of tinkering. Come on man, what makes an OS more successful than others is making it more userfriendly and reduce the tinkering to a minimum. There is difference between customizing and tinkering!!!! Customizing, having to tinker can be very annoying, especially when you don't have time for that! He's right, because MUOS, for example, is the better OS here for this console.
Knulli is good in that there is progress into making Batocera possible on the RGXX series. However it is in early development and has many bugs and stability issues + unforeseen stuff.
This video, so people know what to expect. I'm happy about this video, so I'll stick with MUOS and not waste my time tearing my hair until my a55 is bold. Otherwise why watch such videos, these guys are fantastic!

@@VladNerd
Seems like google search will be difficult, look up jimgraygit ra30. Do make a video on it!
yeah using the adapter is one of the worst possible ways of transferring data, I feel like a caveman every time I have to do it. I'd much rather use software than deal with cables, ports, cards etc. if it can all be avoided. Did so since PS3. On many devices the card isn't that easy to access anyway or you store the roms on the built in hard disk. I'd rather not unscrew my console and unplug the disk every time I want a rom lol.
It's a shame windows still can't access ext4 which has been around since 2006. Linux had full ntfs support since 2006, five years after XP came out and I believe it took so long only because of legal doubts. That's hardly Knulli's fault windows is as barebones as OSes come. Maybe your windows is the one not ready for use xd
I understand it'd be better to not have to deal with it, but mapping buttons isn't something unheard of in any emulation, is it. IMO most of the potential users of this are people who put CFWs and modchips on their systems for dacades now, this is comparatively light experience from a non-commercial project. They didn't even expect you to build anything from source or run any weird programs on PC. Even portmaster takes more work.
You literally had to tweak like 2 things, understand that there are other filesystems than the two microsoft knows and all that's left is the UI scaling bug. Changing ROMs on android is harder than that. Hell, configuring your router is harder than that.
my problem with mu os is the lack of bluetooth
It uses retroarch to emulate saturn without a stand alone option. That's a waste
Подписался за мучения) столкнулся с той же фигней с портмастером

It's a public release, that's why I tested it. It seemed like they stayed away from labeling it as "alpha" on their website & GitHub (or if they did, it wasn't really too noticeable).
Trust me, I'm on their side. It's just that people testing it now would get frustrated, quit and then not try it in the future. I think Knulli will leave a way better impression to first timers after s couple (or so) more months. :)
Most likely everyone of your concern is caused by using a second tf card, the configurations, portmaster settings, etc are on the first card. It would not be hard to fix, and Knulli probably could easily incorporate it in the next release, like if it detect the second card to automatically copy over the configure file.
As for Portmaster issues, it is stated in their wiki, that it might not run on exfat formatted cards.
For me it is working great. But yes, portmaster is non existent.
I'm really glad, my guy! ❤️
Honestly, I'm rooting for Knulli. I can tell that it's gonna be an awesome CFW.
Any idea when muOS is coming to the rg28xx?
I think it might already work on the RG28XX. Not 100% sure, but check their Discord to verify this. :)
I’m normally really forgiving with people’s accent but this guy for some reason pisses me off idk why🤣🤣🤣🤣
that sounds like you're not forgiving of peoples' accents at all, actually. :)
Good thing there's a lot of non-accenty retro RUclipsrs in this space for you to watch, then.
Oh... You are using windows. There's your problem. I honestly think if these issues are deal breakers for you then you aren't really the target audience for this type of device in the first place. Maybe just stick to your switch lite.
This is some Linux-elitist logic right here. As a dude that's been using Linux distros on and off since 2007, I can say that this isn't the right mindset to have.
Windows is used by the majority. All other custom firmwares can be tweaked and tuned under Windows. This needs to be the standard that any other CFW should be measured to.
Expecting people to just "know and use Linux partitioning systems" for a CFW on a Linux Handheld is a sure-fire way to assuring that the CFW in question remains a microniche.
Fanboys will still love their garbage cfw
It's not garbage, it just needs more time to grow a bit. :)
windows users problems xD
Your dialect is almost an Art of Speaking 😅 Don't know why but I Love this exaggerated dialect. Instead of hiding, just push it harder 😄🤌
Couldn't hide it even if I wanted to. 😄
