I had a feeling there might be someone else out there like me wanting a detailed guide about this on UA-cam. It took me awhile to get it right but I'm glad it helped you out. Thank you for the sub 👌🦇
@@batpixel hell yeah by any chance did you get a chance to also have this connected with other devices to sync between saves. Its a great feeling playing something on the Steam Deck and then auto sync your save then pick up where you left off on the SP while on a commute.
It's a great idea and I've thought about it. But it may be a situation where your device is the 'sender & receiver' and your gaming devices are also 'sender & receiver' ? It's worth looking into for sure. All your gaming devices may have to use the same retroarch cores.. I know you can setup cloud saving on devices like the Steam Deck, but something like the SP might be limited to whatever is available on muOS. If I can figure it out I'll certainly make a video about it
for some reason once I try to put my device IP address :7070 and get to the synching MuOS web ui it always times out. So I can't set it up and accept the connection. Guess this is as far as I get.
awesome! got tired of the stock OS just today, so I will be putting muOS on asap. the main point for buying the device was for retroachievments so the network delay is just lovely
Great video! very clear and helpful. Would you do a future video about adding box art to games? I understand there are many ways to do that but they all seem very complicated, although I'm sure you'll be able to explain it very well and make it a painless process ^-^
Incredible all-in-one guide, well structured, to the point and yet not too stiff. Just splendid! Also you included a bunch of gotchas to keep in mind! Thank you so much!
I'm very glad it helped you out 🦇 some of this stuff was tricky to figure out, so I definitely wanted to share them, which made the video super long lol but make sure to update to 'Baked Beans' if you are on the Refried Beans version from this video! I have a quick guide on how to do the new update in a couple minutes
@@batpixel Well so far the device is only in my Aliexpress shopping cart, but I've since come to the conclusion that right now it's basically ticking almost any box I could wish for for a device of this form factor. I'd rather watch one or two very long videos that are at least chaptered rather than a dozen short ones where you possibly run into issues of conflicting settings since you get your base setup tips from a million different places. I probably could figure stuff out on my own and I'm one to go through ALL available settings before usage on anything new I get anyhow, but I ALWAYS also appreciate being able to prepare my setup and mind whilst I wait for something to ship and also to see what options are available - to me - is always a buying decision as well because I'm a pedantic nitpicker and if too much of my wishlist is missing for configs I'd rather wait for something better to appear than going through 2-3 devices until I arrive at my desired product. To me that's just wasteful and I'm not starved for electronics as it is haha.
@AlexChama ah yes, I understand. The good news is these handhelds are getting better and better. If you do decide to purchase this, I would reccomend joining the muOS Discord, because the software is mostly setup properly but the Discord users are very helpful if you run into any issues with settings 👌 let me know which device you decide on in the future 🦇
Ahh I love when someone from here finds my channel 😄 yeah I started with some mini systems and MAME arcades. But my buddy got me into the Powkiddy V90 and it kind of snowballed from there
Thank you 🙌🦇 I went down the muOS rabbit hole 🐇 there's still so much you can do with it like adding box art, PortMaster, RetroArch Netplay. But these are other rabbit holes 😆
I'll keep it in mind. I've never looked into customizing anything like that yet, but if I can fit a video in about it soon, it would be cool if it booted with the Batpixel logo. In the meantime.. there is a free website you can use that's similar to Photoshop called 'Photopea' and you can export 'png' files. It may just be a matter of replacing the muOS logo file with your new logo if you name it the same thing (this is just a guess)
@@batpixel thanks for the reply! & that would be sweet! Also, that's a cool website, thanks again for that. I tried replacing the bmp file for the photo of the boot logo in a theme I use & that ended up making my SP with MuOS freeze up. Also, when I tried to connect to transfer files through SFTP within MuOS and after connecting to wifi too, my device froze up also. I have a brand new Sandisk SD & I don't know why it's doing this. Do you think this is the SD cards fault or the OS? Here I am reflashing it again. If I don't attempt changing the boot logo or try using SFTP, the device works 100% fine. I can play all my games. Pretty weird. Maybe MuOS hates me haha. Any insight or advice would be helpful. Thanks again:)
Did you name your new bmp file the exact same as the one in your theme? If the file name itself is different maybe that could cause issues. It could also be a resolution issue or a file size issue. If you right click the original bmp file you should be able to see that information in the properties menu. Then match your image to be the exact same and same name I'm not sure why your device is freezing through connecting with wifi though.. if you have multiple wifi networks available try different ones. Have you tried updating muOS 'Refried Beans' to 'Baked Beans'? It's really quick to do and I have a video about how to do it in a couple of minutes. I can't see it being the SD card. I'm just taking guesses here lol The Discord for muOS may be the best way to get quicker and more accurate answers on technical issues
@@batpixel Yeah, I renamed the bootlogo to "Bootlogo" and also made the resolution the same. When I say "Freezing", the screen would turn black and if I reset device doesn't go past the original bootlogo (obviously my file replacement for bmp didn't trigger any change lol). Same results when literally just pressing the SFTP option. I didn't even know there was a baked beans! I'll peep your video and check it out. Much appreciated, Brotha!
@@batpixel Hey man! Happy Weekend! Just wanted to reach out to you. Updating the device fixed everything! Got my custom boot logo to show up. Now on the otherhand.. I accidently broke the JST connector off of the battery:( Haha. Damn, it. So i ordered another SP instead of a battery! Common sense , right? Hahaha. These things are so awesome. Anywho, do you have any tips on carefully removing the battery with these Anbernic handhelds and the SP in general? It's so scary ripping that connector off accidently and such a sucker feeling. The backplate is a slight interference too for the SP. Much love brotha!
Hi there! Great info, the only piece of the puzzle I'm missing is if I can change audio tracks on video files. MKV format if that matters. Anyone know how to do that?
Thank you 🦇🎮 thats a good question. You should check out the muOS discord. My guess would be finding the video files in the folders, and see if there's separate audio files linked. If so, you could rename your audio file to match what the video is using
RA uses .SRM save files. Flashcarts / Mgba uses .SAV files. Solution is simple, change extension SAV to SRM on a PC. You may need to change settings to see/edit extensions in Windows. Also ensure the game file name & save file are exactly the same game.gba - game.srm
Hi, what if i just want my 1st sd card to just have the muos and my second sd which is brand new to just have roms. What files would i need on my 2nd sd card?
Just follow the same folder structure so muOS can find it in the right place. If it's still looking on your 1st card for games, you may have to change the file location directories. If you're having any issues it might be worth asking their community on Discord who may have a 2 card setup
Great video, I thank you for your work and effort, but I have a question: How can I remove already installed themes that I don't want on the system? The video shows how to install but not how to uninstall.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the vid. They are located in a themes folder on the card. You should be able to locate them and delete the themes you're not using from the folder. I haven't tried uninstalling themes before, so I'm not sure if there would be any other files located in other places
I haven't tried knulli. Does Bluetooth work on it? Maybe I'll have to make a comparison video sometime. But the only thing I don't like about muOS is that they have not added Blueooth yet (but they plan on it) and art scrapers are a bit of work
I want to change my OS but i still want access to ppsspp because I've mainly been playing my old psp downloads on this thing. does this OS support a decent emu for psp?
It does, but it will be hit or miss with psp with this device. I've been reading that people try the 30 frames per second cheat and also use frameskip on games that may not run the best
@@batpixel but I heard that muOS disables Bluetooth? I was wondering about connecting via wired cable. I'll try the Bluetooth route, are those the Retroarxh settings? Thanks
Oh my bad, I was replying to your comment thinking this was my SP review video 😆 yeah muOS does not have Bluetooth yet, but they will add it in the future. If you can wire in the controller, try using the USB/OTG port on the top. You may have to set it up as 'port 2' in RetroArch. Also, the SP itself is setup as 'Port 1' and assigned as 'Player 1' in the games. So I'd reccomend after you setup your controller, go under Player 1 controls in a game, and set it as 'port 2' for your controller. When I do this, I set 'port 1' (the SP) as Player 2
8:26 - says this and then goes on to delete the file making what he just said pointless and irrelevant. just copy and paste your save files. you don't have to start the game first. your save will be there
that 64gb card sucks. read speed 20mb second at best transfering on computer via a usb card reader. I get 100+ on an actual sandisk in the same reader. It may be "name" brand but I dont trust anything about it.
Yeah I used Sandisk too. That's what I always reccomend, but when I reviewed the SP in a previous video I said don't trust the blue card, but people commented a lot that it was very reliable. But like you said, the read speed isn't as good either
@@batpixelits overkill I know but I am a huge fan of the sandisk imagematePRO series of cards and if you look around, they can be had for VERY reasonable prices. Another card I have a good history with in handhelds are the Samsung EVO series. Seem to withstand more abuse (whole card read/write dumps) then some cards and are fairly affordable too. Thanks for your video btw😉.
@@batpixel the “kioxia” card that came with my sp broke in less than a month, they’re just as bad as the black ones that came with the older ones. Just because it says kioxia on the card doesn’t mean it really is, China is notorious for fake sd cards.
Hey just wanted to let you know I took your claim seriously and I ran it through 3 fake SD card testing softwares (ChipGenius which is non destructive, FakeFlashTest, and h2testw) they all came back with good results. It wiped my SD card data.. so I tried installing muOS and it worked just fine. So from these tests the card seems legitimate to me
Yeah also possible. I just couldn't confirm it myself. If you put your SD card in your computer (it may not pop up) but if you open Rufus and it detects it, you may be able to install muOS on it. That's what happened with mine anyway haha
@@yzx9122 you'll have to choose which software you want to use. You can access the original software on the Anbernic website if you'd prefer it over muOS
