plorpOS is a fork of TortOS that grew into its own project. It does everything TortOS does, with some extra stuff on top.

This is the first release for both handhelds:

Device Download Guide
TrimUI Brick / Brick Hammer plorpOS-brick-v1.1.zip Installing on the Brick
GKD 350H Ultra plorpOS-gkd-v1.1.zip Installing on the GKD

The Brick Pro is not supported yet.

New in v1.1

  • Screenshot hotkey. Bind Screenshot under in-game MENU > Hotkeys. A press saves a PNG of exactly what is on screen - at the display's own resolution, with your shader - to a Screenshots/ folder at the root of the card, named after the game and the time. "Screenshot saved" shows for a moment once it's on the card.
  • Rename a game. Press X on a game, choose Rename, and type a new name. It shows and sorts by that name on every shelf, Favorites included, and survives rescans and gamelist imports. Clear the name to get the original back.
  • Battery percentage. Settings > System Settings > Battery Percentage puts the charge in a small disc in the top-right corner of every screen outside a game, pause menus included. Red at 10% or below, green while charging. Off by default.
  • Two new shaders on the GKD: Pixel Transparency (SkyWalker541's PT, which lets the screen's backing show through bright pixels the way an unlit Game Boy panel does) and Pixel Transparency + LCD 3x. The shader list is now in alphabetical order.

Highlights

See the README for everything, but in short:

  • Music + Audiobooks with background playback and screen-off / button lock behavior (extended from TortOS).
  • Rewind, fast-forward, quick save/load and configurable hotkeys.
  • Sleep + Suspend support.
  • Scraping (inherited from TortOS) plus an optional gamelist.xml offline metadata importer.
  • On the GKD: PlayStation, Arcade + Neo Geo (FBNeo), PICO-8 (native + fake-08), Sega CD on the Genesis shelf, and shaders. The Brick plays the other 11 systems - see Supported systems.

Fresh install

Download the zip for your device below and follow INSTALL.md inside it.

  • Brick: copy everything inside the zip to the root of an exFAT card.
  • GKD: put the service hooks on the GKD once, then copy everything inside copy_to_sd/ to the root of an exFAT card. The guide walks through both.

Updating from an earlier build

Your settings, saves, favorites, play time and achievements are kept: they live in .userdata/ and Saves/, which the zip doesn't touch.

Brick (from plorpOS or TortOS):

  1. Turn the Brick off and put its card in your computer.
  2. Copy everything inside plorpOS-brick-v1.1.zip over the card, replacing what's there.
  3. Eject the card, put it back in the Brick and turn it on. MENU > About shows 1.1.

GKD (from plorpOS v1.0):

  1. Turn the GKD off and put its card in your computer.
  2. Copy everything inside copy_to_sd/ over the card, replacing what's there. The service hooks on the GKD itself haven't changed, so there is nothing else to redo.
  3. Eject the card, put it back in the GKD and turn it on. MENU > About shows 1.1.
