oakMOSS v0.4.1-beta.1

System card (SD1) images for three MagicX handhelds. This beta fixes touch in programs that read the touchscreen themselves, such as DraStic, and updates Bluetooth audio on the Zero 40.

Before you start

  • Back up your stock system card. A full image of it is the only way back to stock.
  • Use spruceOS v4.5.0 or a newer nightly. It goes on a second card, formatted FAT32 (exFAT won't mount).
  • Your spruceOS card is not changed: games and saves stay on it.

Install

  1. Write the image to the system card with Raspberry Pi Imager or a similar tool (in Imager: "Use custom", then pick the .img.xz). Leave verification on. The image replaces everything on the system card, including an earlier oakMOSS.
  2. Once the card is ejected, put it straight into the device. On Windows, don't plug it back into the PC first: Windows can rewrite the card's partition table so it no longer boots. If that happens, write it again.
  3. The system card goes in the slot your stock system card came from, and the spruceOS card in the other slot.
  4. Power on.

What's new

  • Touch in DraStic and other programs that read it themselves (Zero 40, XU20). The kernel re-sent every touch report as if the finger had just landed, so a held touch broke into a stream of taps. The touchscreens also weren't marked as touchscreens for programs that look them up. Both are fixed. Tested in DraStic (trngaje's build) and DSperate on both boards.
  • Bluetooth audio on the Zero 40. The Bluetooth audio service is updated from a 2018 version to bluez-alsa 4.0.0, with later fixes added. Sound no longer cuts out for good after RetroArch's menu or a game switch, and headsets no longer play much quieter than they should. Tested with a headset.
  • The Zero 28 and XU20 have no Bluetooth. Apart from touch on the XU20, they work as in v0.4.0-beta.1.

Known limitations

  • Zero 40: the screen goes black for 1-2 seconds between the boot picture and the menu.
  • Zero 40: going to sleep takes about 4 seconds.
  • Beta: tested on one unit of each device.
