I've been wanting to switch the firmware on my #Anbernic RG40XXH from Knulli to #muOS for a while now because almost every time I try to use the device it's out of battery. From what I understand, muOS has a feature that will make a save state and shut the device off after it's been in standby for a certain amount of time, which sounds great.

I've also been wanting to set up #SyncThing for a long time so I could use cloud saves and play through my retro games on multiple devices. I started to do that today and learned that Knulli doesn't play well with SyncThing, which solidified my decision to switch to muOS, which I am doing right now!

Installing #muOS on my RG40XXH was super easy. The devs don’t recommend using #BalenaEtcher for flashing the image to an SD card but I couldn’t figure out any of the programs they do recommend on Linux. Luckily, it seems like it did the job without issue.

I spent a bunch of time trying to get #SyncThing set up this morning since my PC wasn’t recognizing any of my handhelds. I tried opening up ports on my router and running a command to allow SyncThing through the #Linux firewall. Seems like the latter was the solution!

Now I just have to figure out the logistics of juggling PS1 save files between #RetroArch on my RG40XXH and #DuckStation on my Razer Edge. Things are looking promising though, as I just found out muOS has a DuckStation core on RetroArch, which may even get me better performance with #FinalFantasyIX!

@oldthink34 Linux firewall? I didn't even know that's a thing. (SyncThing is great though.)
