The Knulli release

Credit: Slimybirch on Reddit got this game running on Knulli Gladiator with a hand-edited launcher and shared the exact change. This release turns it into automatic detection:

  • New GL tier: firmwares shipping a split wrapper set (libEGL.so + libGLESv2.so, the Batocera/Knulli layout) are detected and used directly — with the game's mixed GLES1+GLES2 dispatch kept on a single driver.
  • SDL video backend by capability: the port asks your firmware's SDL which drivers it carries and selects the vendor mali backend when present.
  • Complete diagnostics: the log states its version, surveys your firmware's GL stack, tests drivers step by step, and lists missing 32-bit libraries by name.
  • Devices that already worked are untouched (verified identical on the R36S).

Knulli users: update and try WITHOUT manual edits — reports welcome either way (performance there is still 'good enough to play', per the first field report).

Install

Drop the zip in ports/autoinstall/ and reboot. Updating keeps your imported game data.
