#rg40xxv — Public Fediverse posts

After the newest version of #MuOS (PIXIE) just would not boot at all (checked MD5, downloaded fresh img, re-flashed SD card, did all that multiple times,...) I finally decided to grab the previous version (AW BANANA) and flashed it using *Balena*, which they EXPLICITLY don't recommend...

... and my new #RG40XXV finally boots into MuOS!! 🎉 so far it feels better in the hand than the RG353V (RIP 🪦) it replaces.

Three devices that keep me sane these days.

Spent a few hours last night playing around with my #RG40XXV and I managed to get all of my box-art scraped on the device itself using a little script called Artie.

I'm a complete beginner when it comes to this stuff but I still got it running in about 5 minutes, so if you're wanting to make your UI look extra pretty, take a look.

Probably shouldn't be playing on this yet but my partner has agreed to let me have my #RG40XXV early so I'm beginning my adventure.

First port of call is #LegendOfZelda #ALinkToThePast. I've never played the game, yes. Well, not really. I played it as an 8 year old who didn't know shit about nothing; I never stuck with it.

30 odd years later and I'm finally ready to scratch it off my list of shame.

My partner has gotten me an #ANBERNIC #RG40XXV for XMAS and I've been having a little play around on it before it goes away for wrapping. I'm going to spend so much time playing (all the game I absolutely already own) on this thing. Any tips? #Emulation #Videogames

I've dabbled in emulation before, especially on my Steamdeck, but I think having a dedicated device that also runs them well, and looks purpose built whilst doing so is going to really open this stuff up to me.

I can't wait.

Only thing I need to know now is this....Do I need to do anything to get the most out of this device, or is it hot-to-go as the kids say?

#Emulation #Videogames

@jsit If you insist on an #anbernic device, then the #rg35xxsp is a no-brainer. It's super powerful, there's great cfw options for it, it supports wifi, bluetooth and hdmi, and can even run Dreamscast and N64 (although it lacks an analog stick). And of course, it looks just like a GBASP which is just adorable (it even goes to sleep when you close the lid).

If you want a larger screen and overall size, you might want to check out the #rg40xxV. It isn't out just yet, but it looks like it will be a good fit for larger sized hands. #retrogamecorps on YT has great reviews for both of these and the miyoo mini plus.
