    full changelog can be found here: SimpleOS/blob/main/changelogs/v1.4-CHANGELOG.md

    ❗Be aware❗: this port of Pokedaisy is at a beta stage. It is far from finished and compatibility with games is very little.
    As of now only:
  • Pokémon Emerald, Pokémon Fire Red and Pokemon Lazarus work correctly.
  • .gb, .gbc files aren't supported
  • many other feature, like working retroachievements, widescreen and camera movement are missing (full list on the port repo once available).

How to install⬇️

In this release for the first time simpleOS will be distributed with a full image.
Unfortunately for people already on v.1.3 it will require a reflash: backup your save files before proceeding.

  • Download the SimpleOS-RGDS-YYYYMMDD.img file from the latest release of SimpleOS
  • Extract the .zip file onto your pc. it contains the .imgfile you'll have to flash on your SD card
  • Put an SD card into your computer and flash the .img onto the SD card
  • Extract the SD card from your PC and put it into the TF card slot of your RG DS
  • Turn on the console: you will see Anbernic's boot logos, and then the install process should start. The console will reboot a few times, let it finish
  • One you are prompted to "touch the touch screen to continue" you can turn off your console and add your games to the SD card
