[@zaks7]

I can also recommend the cbepx-me (1.6) version. It has the same features but with somewhat faster updated inline to stock, and more themes. What is more important is, flashing these modded firmwares can fix the partitioning issues on the OS-sd card, which limits the card to 4gb no matter how big it is. I would 100% recommend this over stock at any time.

[@WheelsORamaTV]

now it's version 2.0, it's a moded version of the YESTERDAY oficial update. (I don't understand why all my comments are censored) :(

[@jamiemartin9322]

Cheers for all the effort that goes into these. I was intrigued by Modified Stock and the FTP functionality looks great, but I'm really comfortable with MuOS (which I ended up trying after watching your video) so I can't see me jumping ship, especially with 64-bit on the horizon with the next MuOS release (and SFTP coming too!)

Moonlight has been working for me even with the og stock OS

[@VladNerd]

That's so nice to hear! I tried my best at one point, just couldn't get it to pair on stock.

[@jabbajawz]

I thought I was the only one for a sec. I paired and used moonlight from the stock os. It works good, but the controls and the screen are impractical. Especially when I have Steam Deck.

[@zipsta]

oooh nice I installed this mod4 version the other day!!! I will try later thank you

My pleasure!

[@ednaldo3703]

This stock modified OS is bases in which version of the original os? If a new version of the stock os be released, how can I upgrade without losing mods? I really don't know the answers. Thanks.

Dear all, did that version includ full ise of the space of the sd card? A 128Go can be fully used ? If yes whem we format we get directly full storagevspace or we need to add new tasks for it?

did you have a answer for this yet? im wondering the same

Didn’t try it myself, but this modified stock OS, let you resize the partition and use the full space on your sd card.

[@Marcoth27]

[@joshfultz4633]

I'm working with muos v10 rn, I was just on the discord and the creator said vague things about the timeline, I'd guess probably a month? I have modified stock on another SD card, but for some reason the menu was unusably laggy, I've set it aside for now.

i have a image posted on webarchives that are based on the same pack of roms/bios of the stock firmware, for 64gb cards, and with a system update function on "Apps" and enabled SFTP , at that time i have fixed bluetooth of my stock modded firmware with an aṕp.

Wait for the x64bit CFW you will get longer and lasting goosebumps

[@neilharveybranzuela144]

I have been using the moonlight for 2 months but I can't remove the vertical black bars on the sides which makes it smaller display. Did you also have this issue? If yes, how did you fix it?

[@VladNerd]

Find out your phones' resolution, and go into Nvidia graphics panel settings and add that as a custom resolution. This will also make most games scale perfectly to hour phones' display as well. Alternatively, just go into the moonlight settings on your phone and check "Stretch to Fullscreen" or something similar. :)

[@neilharveybranzuela144]

@@VladNerd I already looked for the settings in moonlight in my RG35XX H but can't find it. I already tried checking the NVIDIA graphics panel in my laptop but there was no Display option to change the resolution. 😔

[@VladNerd]

@@neilharveybranzuela144 ohh, I thought you meant that you've been using Moonlight on your PHONE for the last two months. Moonlight on the RG35XX H stretches the image to fit the whole screen by default (at least that's how it works on the modified stock firmware).

Same here. Been using the Mod stock since it came out and updated it from time to time. Oh well. Will try to tinker my laptop and RG35XX H. Thank you for your help! More power to your channel! 👍💯

[@RomanBellicTaxi]

I've been using muOS v10 for a while now, and I'm waiting for v11, but this looks pretty good. Because N64 and PSP work better with the Anbernic stock os, I might format a different SD card here just to try it :) also Moonlight is awesome and I wanna stream PS2 and GC from my PC while I don't have an Odin 2 or a RP4Pro! Cheers!

[@EL90291]

Time to go back in the rabbit holes , new firmware available for download OS 240428 / V1.1.0.

[@nickentros]

Does the Stock mod work on the 28XX?

[@VladNerd]

Not yet, as far as I know :(

[@gamingturt]

I still prefer to use Min UI on this thing. I only play gba and snes. And it’s so perfect for that. Min UI is so easy to install too! But it’s a no go if you want to play anything above PS1. Or use analog sticks for that matter.

[@SuperAntyfan]

Is there any custom OS out there that lets your device hibernate properly without draining the battery?

[@VladNerd]

Not yet unfortunately, I'm sort of waiting for that too. Extremely underrated feature, I'm surprised it's not worked on as top priority by CFW devs.

[@frankysour]

It would be the most obvious function to develop first, and yet it's not,either in custom of proprietary firmware... I do think this is not by chance, ok the SW function but to my understanding the chip itself should be able to handle a sort of super low power mode,that basically just feeds enough power to the ram to avoid loosing the data and shuts everything else off, including its own internal functions. Or alternatively, there should be a separate way to feed the ram, either from the main battery through a secondary circuit or through a small secondary battery as it was in the old Gameboy cartridges... This maybe tough to hear but... To me it's possible that these devices are incapable of sleep for hardware reasons, otherwise it would be the first thing ever implemented

[@VladNerd]

@@frankysour you're thinking of real hibernate. Handhelds with "hibernate functionality" (like the Miyoo Mini with Onion OS) basically just do a savestate before turning off and then they load the core / rom / savestate at boot up, giving the illusion of hibernate. It's still incredibly useful but yeah, it's more or less a totally implementable hack. 😆

[@frankysour]

@@VladNerd well this one is already there in stock firmware, it's called "quick shutdown", you find it under the RetroArch section (meaning second icon on main menu), then "apps" , and it is in that list of additional settings. Not nice working as on onion, though, basically... While playing you press power quickly, and it saves and shuts down, then when you power up it boots directly into the same game at same position where you had shut down. But only works if you use RetroArch for playing, not the stand alone emulators (but this is same in onion)

[@VladNerd]

@@frankysour yeah, I tried that one, but it felt quite a bit janky imo. I think they could do a lot with it if they refined it up a bit. :)

[@SuperKnuckels]

It's cool that the RG35XX H can stream pc with Moonlight, does that mean it can do it for Playstation 4/5 with PS Remote play / PS Play?

[@VladNerd]

It only had moonlight integration, and as far as I know (might be mistaken), the PS5 doesn't support moonlight. :)

[@mohrasher]

Looks good. I am a fan of stock OS. The FTP feature, I wonder what the copying speed is on the device? Using my SD card adaptor I get 80MB/s transfer speed using a Samsung Evo micro SD card which is very good when copying huge files like for DC and PSP and PS. EDIT: at 5:36 you mention that BIOS files are not included. This is incorrect. This device includes the bios files in the linux partition. They have always been there and are picked up the the emulators from there. You can find them using the built in file explorer (/mnt/vendor/deep/retro/system). For some odd reason Anbernic always included the bios folder in the Roms partition which was never needed. This is why the official latest stock OS does not include the bios folder in the Roms partition anymore

[@VladNerd]

Ohh, thanks for picking up on that! Thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind

[@MrRetro90]

A new stock firmware version just got released, I think Tom got that message already :). In this version N64 got integrated to default menu and also psp performance improved they say. Now with x64 for the cfw on the horizone things really are going to be interesting.

[@VladNerd]
