It's time we talk about the Batocera fork Knulli on the Anbernic RG35XXSP, and while we're at it we're going to take a look at the latest update to muOS which just got an SP-specific build! We're going to pit muOS vs Knulli in a head to head, after covering how to install Knulli on the SP, and update to the latest muOS build on your SP.
Boot times

Amazing viddy! Being able to bring my curated rom sets and game lists with all my personal metadata and favourites list is what keeps me on Knulli, even though I'd much prefer the portmaster compatibility on MuOS.

I have tried both and have to say while knulli is very aesthetically pleasing, it still has many bugs that need squashing. For now I’m running with MuOS on both the XXH and SP

What are the bugs on Knulli on the 35xxh? Did you compare it with muOs performance wise in games?

@HandheldHorizon 9 күн бұрын

@@BornIntoThis20 I ran into a couple issues with the front end not launching games/libraries for seemingly no reason, Knulli overwriting RetroArch settings even after updating override files, and generally speaking MuOS does seem to be more light weight so games run slightly better in most cases

@CP-to5nx 9 күн бұрын

Love your video BUT have to disagree with your assessment. MuOS is far beyond more developed than Knulli. Too many bugs, more than half of the PSP library does not play or crashes at title screen for example GOW:COO. N64 is terrible on Knulli even with the remapping of controls. The public release version of Knulli needs alot of work and if you do not know how to tinker with settings, then this would not be for you. I personally love MuOS and will be sticking with it until I see the improvements on Knulli. I do love what the devs are doing with Knulli but it's not there yet unless you want to donate and get the the alpha releases of this front which I hear run much better than the public release.

7:28 This little few seconds of information was huge for me, thank you. N64 runs great on Knulli w/ Mupen64 Rice core on the SP, but I didn't understand the control layout .. now I know what file to edit, spent a few minutes changing it in notepad to your layout (triggers for C L+R, X A for C U+D), and now comfortably know all the controls when playing. Played DK64 for a few hours w this and now I really enjoy N64 on the SP

So far it seems to me like the anbernic os is still the most seemless experience on the sp. The community projects are getting close though.

The only advantage of Stock over MuOS right now is Retroachievements on stock has images. Every other feature between the two is in a state of parity imo.

@AP101083 5 күн бұрын

Anbernic official OS is the better one of the 3x you can now even update it with 64 bit version and you can play many PORT games like CELESTE, Turtles SHredder Revenve, GTA 3 etc. Automatic Save when you close it, Power Buttong Switch from Dpad to Analogue Stick, easy switch to choose to many cores to play games and super many extra emultors compatible... sorry but in this case I would never update the XX series with CFW

I got Stardew Valley to work on Knulli, but I understand why you couldn't. I had to find the solution on the Knulli Discord server. You will have to replace libGL.so.1 and libEGL.so.1 with different versions of the files that were provided there. I get giving MuOS the point on that one, though!

@ekardt 5 күн бұрын

With Knulli (maybe this is Emulationstation's problem) I just had so many issues with default configurations. Especially the cores and latency settings. Games running very poorly, having poorly mapped controls, weird default hot keys and shortcuts, and had a lot of issues getting bezels and overlays to look good and work properly. The frontend is nice and the built in scraper (With videos) is amazing! But the actual core and game performance out of the box was just too poor and required too much configuring and tweaking. There were some GBA games I could not get running well no matter how much i tweaked it. Games that run flawlessly with no configuration changes on muOS. muOS lacks some creature comforts in the OS UI but default setting and performance for every game was amazing, and the default built in bezels and overlays reflecting the console you are playing were flawless too. I am still a little new to all this, so forgive me if I am off base. muOS required a little more effort to get things set up and started, but required almost 0 configuration for cores/latency/audio and controls. Actual gameplay was amazing compared to knulli. Maybe I am dumb and missed something.

@@FS-zt6tm good to go for any cfw. Got 8 dedicated cards. 2 for stock, 2 for bato, 2 for MuOS and 2 for knulli. So far cause I play at home with the kids knulli is my go to. Stock has a serious power control error with the June update so not touching it atm. And Mu doesn’t let me play with the family. Bato became knulli so not using that one much either as knulli just works better.
