MuOS is minimalist and needs tinkering depending on your preferences, but it's fast and feature-rich. For a gift to someone else I'd set up Knulli because it's prettier, but for myself I want every last bit of power from these chips I can get. In the end, you can't really go wrong with either. Both are phenomenal.
@@pavichokcheI want to say around 15 seconds? It's still better than stock, but MuOS is faster. Knulli doesn't yet have support for sleep with the SP (sorry-- FLIPZZIZLE) hinge though, which is how I discovered MuOS in the first place.
When I set a device down, I never want to have to think, "should I sleep it or shut it all the way down?" When I pick up a device, I never want to find it dead because I chose wrong. MuOS solves this problem by auto saving and shutting down after five minutes in sleep mode (or one, or ten, it's configurable). And you can set it up to boot directly into the last game you played and load that autosave, so it's totally seamless. You can also set it to wait for a WiFi connection before loading the game, useful if you're hunting Retroachievements. And if you change your mind while booting and don't want to wait the extra 10-20s that takes, you can press Start to boot directly into the game without waiting for WiFi, or Select to boot into the main menu instead. Knulli doesn't do any of that. It looks pretty and all, but I don't want to look at a pretty menu, I want to play my games. MuOS gets out of the way and lets me do that.
My only issue with MuOS at this time is that it doesn't hotswap to bluetooth controller like Knulli. When you connect a BT controller Knulli automatically assigns it as P1. From what I know atm You have to manually do this in MuOS. I like connecting my SP to the TV and using my BT controller and then when I disconnect use the console with no fuss.
Do you love the dropshipping links too? Lmao a rg35xx cost $30 on sale on aliexpress and maximum at $40 and he show links for $85… same for other devices a rg35xxH cost maximum $50… this is a scam and he doesn’t respect his viewers, shame on this guy
@@suhtangwong Ripping off your whole community can't be justified. Using affiliate links and displaying the lowest prices while being honest and transparent is much better.
This is what I've been waiting for. I've only had the 35XX Plus for maaaaybe like 4 months. I've been waiting for a half decent cfw and this is like perfect. Thanks for the guide love your stuff.
Knulli is the best OS for this series of handhelds. Batocera is my favourite linux OS of all time. This is a fork of Batocera, so you get all the create stuff that comes with the OS. Amazing customisations, ES, the most number of systems available, and of course access to the amazing Acorn Electron and BBC Micro with pad2key mappings available. Heaven. And this distro will only get better as they fix things.
If you wanted to keep the ext4 card format so you don't lose the portmaster compatability, you could have a live usb linux drive and boot from that instead of windows. It's useful to have something like that on a spare usb drive for this kind of reason or for repairing your pc drive etc. Great video as usual btw!
Stodgy OnionOS-loving bastard here!! Great video as always, TD. Makes me seriously consider grabbing a Flipzizzle for my kids. The ol' V90 is showing its age.
Watching your videos and listening to your witty humor, humanity and humbleness gives such a nice vibe of an old friend being refound. Love your channel. Would like more videos of GBA and hidden gems of that system 😁, I just ordered the Flipzizzle
This was awesome and super helpful as usual. But I'd love to see a deep dive comparison between the various options. Especially muOS please! Thanks tech Dweeb! :)
Your tutorial is surprisingly easy to understand. Others have done the same but speak as if the person has prior knowledge of terminology and has been keeping up with the trend. I have not. I have NES and SNES rom from many years ago, using the oldest snes9x emulator. They were saying "front end" and i was sorta lost. I understand you. And thanks for adding Shredder's Revenge to the port master explanation. I want to play that game. Question: is port master available for the Retroid 4 pro? That's the one I'm getting. I'm sticking to android because i want to use the device for more than just playing punch-out.
I still like muOS better since it has lid support for the SP model. Sure it doesn't looks as flashy as Knulli. But it gets the job done. Also more exciting updates are currently in the works for muOS including the upcoming 'Baked Beans' and then later the 'Banana' update. But I'll be interested in trying Knulli once I get around to buying a new Micro SD card specifically for this firmware.
I love Emulation Station as a front end. So I'm definitely interested in this for my SP. But Knulli doesn't support the hinge yet so I'm gonna hold off. Also, for the SP specifically, I really hope these custom firmwares eventually support the stock OS's power button shortcut that enables analogue stick input via the d-pad in N64 and Dreamcast.
I remember using batocera on my rg35xx plus and it somehow drained battery over night randomly even though it was shutdown properly. Also boot time was over 1 minute I think, so then I installed muos, but it had it own bugs so I went back to stock. Gonna wait a bit more just in case 👀
Batocera you just need to hit start from the main menu and shutdown. If you just hit the power button it will sleep and go flat. Also if you charge it, once you unplug it it stays in like a low power mode and goes flat. You need to turn it on and back off again. Pretty silly quirks but better than stock os so I live with it
@@Bluterus yeah I know, I always shut down poperly since jelos and arkos. But sometimes it still drained my battery overnight and boot time was way too long for my schedule 😅
MuOS crew rise up! I don't use these things to look at pretty menus, I use these things to play games on. MuOS gets me into my game faster and with fewer barriers.
I've always found it so weird the way people suck off onion OS when it comes to proclaiming the MM+ as the best portable device, if you're spending more time in menus and hyperfocused on the UI than playing games then you're wasting your time
With regards to the partition formats, I made a flash drive with Batocera, which I formatted the partition to exFAT, then reformatted it to NTFS on Windows and copied all the folders back on. That allows me to access to the rom files, etc, on Windows. Not sure if it works with Portmaster or not. I also threw Retrobat on there, then symlinked (apparently Windows has symlink functionality) the files on Batocera to the Retrobat folders. Now I have the flexibility to use either setup, based on the type of device I plug it into.
a detailed tutorial video installing native pico8 on knulli with a windows pc would be a literal game changer!!! i dont know how difficult it would be because nobody will make a video and everyone just tells you to read the wiki but i've still managed to mess that up somehow and had to flash knulli to a new card and start from scratch lol.
@@Cyko.. Nothing is perfect. I'd change quite a bit about it. But as someone who has spent their career making Linux distros, I notice a lot more issues than an average user. Anyway, youtube won't let me go into more detail, because it'll trip the comment filters. I've tried.
@@UberrimaFide5 Terrible in it's current state. I was using Knulli on my TSP and more than half of the game library either won't run or crashes at the game start menu. They do have an alpha version that apparently works much better than the general public release if you donate. No doubt that over time this will be the cfw of choice since it is a fork of Batocera and runs off of emulation station as Dweeb mentioned but right now, don't think it's worth flashing in it's current form IMHO. Too many bugs that need to be ironed out.
What about performance? Any systems running faster or better than what's already out there? It takes a long time to transfer things wirelessly to ext4. I'd like to know if all the trouble is worth it from what I already use:Batocera v40 beta and Stock.
You should do a similar video for MuOS. There's also a growing movement in creating custom themes in MuOS, something that you'd be particularly good at doing!
I really happy about this firmware! Can’t wait to test it and many thanks about postmaster! Another thing, How is the performance? It’s any better than MUos,koriki or last stock update? Thanks!!!!
So i noticed that in the scroll through the portmaster games, Runner 2 is included. Guess im going to have to buy a third copy so i can take it with me since theres no switch version as of yet
Love these videos thank you for helping me choose my bizzazzle! Is there anyway to get it to have games stored on both SD cards? I want to have some ROM hacks on there as well but that starts to push the 500gb sd card.
Your vids made me by my first RG40 and installing Knulli and a ton of games was supereasy thanks to your guide. Now there is only one thing I can't find out and that is how to get ScummVM running or more specifically, how to get Day of the Tentacle running on it. Anyone with some tips? I found a rom, but it is not in a scummvm file format and simply copying the folder to the scummvm folder isn't doing it.
Hey techdweeb, Can you do a video on port master? I just downloaded stardew valley on my 35xx plus and wanted to see if there is an analog option to build in the game. Since you have the same device you can see what I’m talking about. Would changing from muOS to knulli fix this problem?
In Knulli you can't change your hotkeys, so knulli is USELESS to me. I can't believe they made such an antifeature by design SPECIALLY considering it's a VERY WEIRD UNINTUITIVE and NONSTANDARD with other emulation station firmwares (jelos/rocknix, arkos...etc that go way back).
Excellent video, as always!!. I'm wondering if you could do a video showing how to export save games between systems and different OS. Thanks man, You Rock!
Honestly as amazing as knulli is, it's the reason why I bought a miyoo mini plus tbh. Whilst I love ES and how seamless everything works, I've had my fair share of issues with it installed on my 35XXH, such as 2d games lagging like crazy if I turn off shaders (and if I don't the image looks blurry), I can't update via OTA, the newest version didn't support the analog sticks, drag and dropping the update file corrupting the OS, and most importantly no sleep mode(which kills me the most) I just got my miyoo mini plus but onion is genuinely is so much better imo, I think interface wise I still prefer ES but onion os just works, and it's amazing. Thanks for the great video techdweeb sir !
Sleep mode has always worked, but Anbernic's proprietary kernel uses about 5% of the battery per hour while asleep. Knulli's "batocera beta" build had a bug in shutoff mode where shutdown would get stuck when using exfat, but ext4 works fine and I think the issue was fixed in Knulli. OTA doesn't work from bato to knulli since they're different OSes, but it works for updating knulli. Analog sticks work fine and always have, but Anbernic's kernel has such a huge dead zone, it causes cardinal snapping. I've had basically no issues on my 35XXH with bato-beta and knulli, except that the buttons are too stiff. I have a Miyoo Mini Plus too, with Onion... and have run into several issues with it. The physical controls feel nicer since they're softer, but the hardware is slower so it can't run as many games or enable as many features, the clock doesn't work due to a hardware flaw, I've seen it randomly fail to boot, it corrupted its database within a few days, it uses old versions of things, and it's is missing a ton of features I've come to rely on in other devices. Both are using the same exact model of Sandisk, not the included card.
I would love to install this to my devices. But there is just One only thing that will always make MinUI better to me : the saves state system (Menu + Save or Load) which is really more efficient and secure than shortcuts (that I personnaly hate), I tried batocera and koriki and how many times I made mistakes and deleted a save state or load a save state instead of saving it.. I hate the shortcut system for that. Sorry I needed to talk about it and I hope they will change that in the future to give mors options to it :D
Sorta. Dreamcast relies on frameskip, while PSP is more hit-or-miss. Most NDS and many N64 titles are also playable. I'm not yet convinced that Knulli provides the same level of performance as the updated Stock OS in these 'bonus' systems, but some side-by-side testing could change my mind.
This is cool. Thanks for the info. Personally, it's too flashy for me. I'm old school, like ATARI in '81 old school, and I prefer a straight directory listing. I've had emulation based handhelds since the Dingoo and many hacked/Flash Kits systems over the last 20 years. At this point I know the games by name and find it easier to just scroll and pick. I like to maximize my mSD by not including box art or other files I personally do not want or need. With that said, is there a custom OS that would meet my needs? I want a cheaper handheld because I do not feel comfortable carrying my limited edition Analogue Pocket with me. Cheers. Thanks. I enjoy your videos.
I have the R36S and I have the operating system and games on the same card and I used a 256gb card and filled it up with games, preview video's and images and its really laggy and takes ages to boot up. Should I separate the games from the operating system on different cards or just use a smaller card and get rid of the video's?
10:02 BE WARNED! If you look at the BIOS files in the stock SD card, some of them, crucially the PS1 BIOS files, are 0KB dummy files. Don't use these. The ones that aren't 0KB dummy files are fine as they generally pass RetroArch's file check (uses checksums, and thus can detect bad files)
11:10 There's a caveat with using the built-in theme downloader. It uses the Batocera theme repository (Knulli is basically Batocera with looser hardware support terms), and a lot of Batocera themes don't play well with the 640x480 display. GitHub has a repo named "Emulationstation-OGA-Theme-Gallery" for ES themes that have been made with this kind of display in mind (mostly for ArkOS on certain Powkiddy handhelds). You'll fare better installing these themes manually. I don't quite remember which directory to put the extract theme files to...
It has Bluetooth support including audio, and on-device art scraper. Themes and game collections manipulation is better, too (MuOS themes is basically the frontpage icons and font/colors, in Knulli there are deep customizations of how you want your systems and gamelists displayed - depends on the theme). In functionality it has parity with MuOS barring the hinge support on SP and shutdown after x minutes in sleep. Currently it also support 64bit ports only compared to MuOS's 32&64 bit support. 32bit support on Knulli will come in time
@@dominikcech1478 How well does BT audio work on Knulli? Can you pair some true wireless buds to it and have as consistent an experience as using the 3.5mm port? Does WiFi work at the same time as BT audio?
I can't save the RetroArch configuration file and directory overrides are not automatically applied like they're supposed to. Kind of a bummer because my paddle/triggers are not mapped on the rg35xx plus.
I made the games partition fat 32. It works in windows. but it is cumbersome as I have to re assign a letter to the card every time I plug the card into the windows laptop. maybe that is wonenreason why using WiFi is easier. but I haven't tried WiFi myself.
@@TheNoonski Thanks, for the info. Is it a hard limit to FAT32? If so, the main disadvantage would be the 4GB file size limit. That shouldn't be a problem with these devices since they can't play GameCube or PS2. At best PSP which maxes out at 1.5GB.
Nope! Sleep mode isn't great. However it does have auto-save if you power off while playing a game. And then next time you start the game you can be right where you left off.
Can anyone confirm if Stardew Valley works with this firmware? That's basically what I play on my Anbernic handheld 90% of the time. I really don't want to flash new firmware just to change it back.
@@TechDweeb another question if you don't mind... I noticed the "retro achievements" for this os, dose arkos have that? I can't seem to find any in depth explanation of arkos and I'm wondering if I should try somthin different
Installed knulli, love it and it works perfect handheld, but when i start plugging it into HDMI to my TV things get a little weird, the audio cuts out, sometimes it comes out of the internal speaker, sometimes out of the TV, sometimes not at all! Also bluetooth controllers seem glitchy, sometimes they work great, other times they seem very laggy. Any advice?
Is there an option without a PC/windows (only have a chromebook, smartphone, xbox series x) to get this OS/upload games to SD card? I really want to get into emulation and buy the SP/my first anbernic device but don't have anything running Windows. :(

I'm running Batocera (Koriki) on my RG35XX Plus and I'm satisfied. But I'll give this one a go on another SD card just for a change.
I felt attacked and seen at the same time with the Linux PC bit. Ty I'll keep my superior EXT4 file system good sir.
Excellent video, as always!!.
I'm wondering if you could do a video showing how to export save games between systems and different OS. Thanks man, You Rock!
PSA I did the whole install. Nice interface but Dreamcast and PSP aren’t playable. Best to stick with the stock OS for now AKA Stockbizzle
Dreamcast and PSP are playable, just make sure you set it to use the standalone emulators instead of the retroarch cores
Honestly as amazing as knulli is, it's the reason why I bought a miyoo mini plus tbh.
Whilst I love ES and how seamless everything works, I've had my fair share of issues with it installed on my 35XXH, such as 2d games lagging like crazy if I turn off shaders (and if I don't the image looks blurry), I can't update via OTA, the newest version didn't support the analog sticks, drag and dropping the update file corrupting the OS, and most importantly no sleep mode(which kills me the most)
I just got my miyoo mini plus but onion is genuinely is so much better imo, I think interface wise I still prefer ES but onion os just works, and it's amazing.
Thanks for the great video techdweeb sir !
I found that i had the same issues. I went with MUos. Not the flashiest front end but it got the job done with no issues....and the sleep mode works
muos is king for anbernic
Sleep mode has always worked, but Anbernic's proprietary kernel uses about 5% of the battery per hour while asleep. Knulli's "batocera beta" build had a bug in shutoff mode where shutdown would get stuck when using exfat, but ext4 works fine and I think the issue was fixed in Knulli. OTA doesn't work from bato to knulli since they're different OSes, but it works for updating knulli. Analog sticks work fine and always have, but Anbernic's kernel has such a huge dead zone, it causes cardinal snapping. I've had basically no issues on my 35XXH with bato-beta and knulli, except that the buttons are too stiff.
I have a Miyoo Mini Plus too, with Onion... and have run into several issues with it. The physical controls feel nicer since they're softer, but the hardware is slower so it can't run as many games or enable as many features, the clock doesn't work due to a hardware flaw, I've seen it randomly fail to boot, it corrupted its database within a few days, it uses old versions of things, and it's is missing a ton of features I've come to rely on in other devices.
Both are using the same exact model of Sandisk, not the included card.
The Linux guy doesn't exist, he can not hurt you!
The linux guy!!! 7:05
Looks so good!. I take it my RG ARC-D wont be able to use this os?
Great video!
Thanks for that coverage!! Does saving work better than the original OS? Kinda wish I could use traditional saving when playing through pokemon 😅
This is way less kerfuffle than MUOS. I suppose I'm changing out my firmware this weekend.
1:12 why you calling us out?! 😂
I would love to install this to my devices. But there is just One only thing that will always make MinUI better to me : the saves state system (Menu + Save or Load) which is really more efficient and secure than shortcuts (that I personnaly hate), I tried batocera and koriki and how many times I made mistakes and deleted a save state or load a save state instead of saving it.. I hate the shortcut system for that. Sorry I needed to talk about it and I hope they will change that in the future to give mors options to it :D
I'm a bit confuzzled by all these names.
Wait, the 35XX can do Dreamcast and PSP?
Sorta. Dreamcast relies on frameskip, while PSP is more hit-or-miss. Most NDS and many N64 titles are also playable. I'm not yet convinced that Knulli provides the same level of performance as the updated Stock OS in these 'bonus' systems, but some side-by-side testing could change my mind.
Would this be an automatic upload while my dude is gaming out in the middle of the woods? Lol
Bizzazzle! Got it! 👍
Holy shit was that a face reveal?
😱
timestamp?
Thanks for the great video! Just a heads up the link to your discord is no longer working. Would love to join. Thanks.
my sp comes in tomorrow so this is perfect timing
This is cool. Thanks for the info. Personally, it's too flashy for me. I'm old school, like ATARI in '81 old school, and I prefer a straight directory listing. I've had emulation based handhelds since the Dingoo and many hacked/Flash Kits systems over the last 20 years. At this point I know the games by name and find it easier to just scroll and pick. I like to maximize my mSD by not including box art or other files I personally do not want or need. With that said, is there a custom OS that would meet my needs? I want a cheaper handheld because I do not feel comfortable carrying my limited edition Analogue Pocket with me.
Cheers. Thanks. I enjoy your videos.
Wish the RG353V had more FW/OS options.
I have the R36S and I have the operating system and games on the same card and I used a 256gb card and filled it up with games, preview video's and images and its really laggy and takes ages to boot up. Should I separate the games from the operating system on different cards or just use a smaller card and get rid of the video's?
I could hear your terrible jokes all day 😂
10:02 BE WARNED! If you look at the BIOS files in the stock SD card, some of them, crucially the PS1 BIOS files, are 0KB dummy files. Don't use these. The ones that aren't 0KB dummy files are fine as they generally pass RetroArch's file check (uses checksums, and thus can detect bad files)
11:10 There's a caveat with using the built-in theme downloader. It uses the Batocera theme repository (Knulli is basically Batocera with looser hardware support terms), and a lot of Batocera themes don't play well with the 640x480 display.
GitHub has a repo named "Emulationstation-OGA-Theme-Gallery" for ES themes that have been made with this kind of display in mind (mostly for ArkOS on certain Powkiddy handhelds). You'll fare better installing these themes manually. I don't quite remember which directory to put the extract theme files to...
Elementarial is good by the way
What does this offer over MuOS? Built-in theme downloading? The latest MuOS release boots in 6 seconds, I don't know how anything else can compete...
It has Bluetooth support including audio, and on-device art scraper. Themes and game collections manipulation is better, too (MuOS themes is basically the frontpage icons and font/colors, in Knulli there are deep customizations of how you want your systems and gamelists displayed - depends on the theme). In functionality it has parity with MuOS barring the hinge support on SP and shutdown after x minutes in sleep. Currently it also support 64bit ports only compared to MuOS's 32&64 bit support. 32bit support on Knulli will come in time
@@dominikcech1478 nice! BT audio is very impressive.
@@dominikcech1478 How well does BT audio work on Knulli? Can you pair some true wireless buds to it and have as consistent an experience as using the 3.5mm port? Does WiFi work at the same time as BT audio?
Uncle Dweeb, did you get the new Jumboozle? 😁 Should we expect it to be featured sometime?
I can't save the RetroArch configuration file and directory overrides are not automatically applied like they're supposed to. Kind of a bummer because my paddle/triggers are not mapped on the rg35xx plus.
Why is Wi-Fi transfer better? Is there a disadvantage to use SD card transfer?
I made the games partition fat 32. It works in windows. but it is cumbersome as I have to re assign a letter to the card every time I plug the card into the windows laptop. maybe that is wonenreason why using WiFi is easier. but I haven't tried WiFi myself.
@@TheNoonski Thanks, for the info. Is it a hard limit to FAT32? If so, the main disadvantage would be the 4GB file size limit. That shouldn't be a problem with these devices since they can't play GameCube or PS2. At best PSP which maxes out at 1.5GB.
Great video
Every time you mention LITNXT i remember LTT
My only question is, does it have a real sleep mode that doesn't blow?
Nope! Sleep mode isn't great. However it does have auto-save if you power off while playing a game. And then next time you start the game you can be right where you left off.
Which emulation station theme is that?
Edit: Found it! It's Artbook next
Can anyone confirm if Stardew Valley works with this firmware? That's basically what I play on my Anbernic handheld 90% of the time.
I really don't want to flash new firmware just to change it back.
Yup, it does!
Ok, please forgive my ignorance I'm just so out of touch with tech anymore... I have arkos on my rg35xx... Should I replace it with this os now?
Nope, if you have ARKOS that's still a great operating system no need to switch
@@TechDweeb another question if you don't mind... I noticed the "retro achievements" for this os, dose arkos have that? I can't seem to find any in depth explanation of arkos and I'm wondering if I should try somthin different
Installed knulli, love it and it works perfect handheld, but when i start plugging it into HDMI to my TV things get a little weird, the audio cuts out, sometimes it comes out of the internal speaker, sometimes out of the TV, sometimes not at all! Also bluetooth controllers seem glitchy, sometimes they work great, other times they seem very laggy. Any advice?
Is there an option without a PC/windows (only have a chromebook, smartphone, xbox series x) to get this OS/upload games to SD card? I really want to get into emulation and buy the SP/my first anbernic device but don't have anything running Windows. :(
