How to install

To install ChipNomad on devices supported by PortMaster, put the zip file to auto install folder

Anbernic RG35xx build works only on pre-2024 console with GarlicOS 1. To install, find APPS in the ROMs folder on the SD card and extract .zip file there to a new folder for ChipNomad. For newer RG35xx use PortMaster build.
