As of 2023-08-08 there are many firmwares.
Anbernic Dual SystemGarlicOSMinUIBatoceraKorikimuOSI think this might be the best of both worlds. I want a garlic setup with my favorites, and if anbernic can browse folders I could use that to experiment
NO,
First they destroyed garlic OS and made it crappy. Horrible theme, ruined all emu by shrinking screen.
So will take work to get garlic back
PLUS
stock can't handle zip files. WTF.
I would have to uncompress everything.
Really thinking this is not worth the hassle. It does seems to handle subdirs but again only if unzipped.
I don't understand why megadrive requires bin files.
SUPERB!
This uses Emulation Station for front end,
Controls select and back are backwards
Go into setting, developer settings swap east and south.
RGUI control are still off.
Tempted to go with this one.
Pros:
Fat32 expanded out of the box.
A-B Controls are correct. Intuitive,
Has other EMU's like Batocera.
Cons:
Scan subdirs but flattens to one giant files list.
muOS
Playlists only. Still linear set of playlists only.
CONCLUSION
I've decided to give Garlic OS a shot.
The auto-resume just seems to cool.
Games seem to just play full screen the way I want.
On SD Card 2 putting Batocera with FULL game sets linked to from Retroarch on Garlic OS.
