Update

  • Added 5 of the most iconic FPS of all time (both for RetroFE and GMenu2X):
  • Added related game assets for RetroFE (author: @albgr1979).
  • Do not overwrite existing FunKey files anymore when updating from .fwu in order to keep RetroFE layouts.list and GMenu2X last ROM launched for FBA 2012 and MAME 2000.
  • [PicoArch] January 19th: Simplified the panning feature with 2 hotkeys instead of 3 (no more PAN_DISPLAY_OFF, now PAN_DISPLAY_LEFT and PAN_DISPLAY_RIGHT cycle between the 3 modes).

Notes

  • This update only includes the demo files (aka shareware) for each game. Click the links above for more info about full game and music file installation.
  • I chose not to use RetroPorts' ECWolf native port but the Libretro core instead as I got some fixes to make it work and because it benefits from all the PicoArch features (scaling modes, core options etc).
  • Due to the 5 games added, the image file is significantly bigger (+100 MB for .img).
  • This update will force reinstalling all freeware games (including the emulator ROMs).
  • While you can rename OPKs, it is not recommended to do for Libretro cores as it may cause bugs or crashes.

Installation

  • FunKey-rootfs-DrUm78.fwu and FunKey-rootfs-DrUm78_Q36_Mini.fwu are for the FunKey S and Q36 Mini devices only and should be used to upgrade a previous version of my custom OS or the stock OS. Drop the file at the root of your card then unmount to update.
  • FunKey-rootfs-DrUm78_RG_Nano.fwu is for the RG Nano device only and should be used to upgrade a previous version of my custom OS but NOT the stock OS (use FunKey-sdcard-DrUm78_RG_Nano.img file instead, see below).
  • FunKey-sdcard-DrUm78.img and FunKey-sdcard-DrUm78_Q36_Mini.img are for the FunKey S and Q36 Mini devices only for people who want to flash a fresh new SD card (all data will be wiped!). Use this file with an image flash tool like Win32 Disk Imager then put the card in your console and it will finalize the process on startup (partition resizing etc).
  • FunKey-sdcard-DrUm78_RG_Nano.img is for the RG Nano device only. Instructions about flashing the SD card are the same as for the FunKey S (see above).
