New (RG Nano only)

  • Roms/ parent folder: every console's folder now lives in Roms/, beside Saves/ and Bios/. `Screenshots/' now go top-level too. Folders are now named to match the other plorpOS ports.
  • Arcade game titles: MAME 2000 and FB Alpha 2012 lists show their proper titles instead of filenames like mslug, sorted by title. BIOS sets like neogeo.zip are hidden.
  • Vertical arcade games upright: PicoArch now automatically rotates vertical arcade games, both in fbalpha and mame2000. Screen rotation in advanced options still turns the picture further if you want to hold the Nano sideways.

Install (RG Nano)

  • Flash the extracted plorpOS-nano-v1.0-sdcard.zip to a microSD card (Rufus or any image tool). Flashing wipes the card.
  • The first start sets up the card (under a minute), then the shelf comes up. Copy your music to Music/, games to Roms/<console>/ and BIOS files to Bios/ over USB.
  • Full guide: Installing on the RG Nano.

From v0.2

  • Re-flash (recommended), or copy the plorpOS folder from plorpOS-nano-v1.0-UPDATE.zip over the one on your card, then move your console folders into Roms/ and rename the ones listed above - in Saves/ too. Recently Played and Favorites forget games from renamed folders.

From v0.1

  • Re-flash. Back up your music, games, BIOS files and FunKey/.picoarch/ (saves are in its data/ folders) first, then copy saves into Saves/<console>/.

Known issues

  • The speaker can pop on play/pause and when a USB DAC is plugged in or out (probably a hardware limitation, also existed on the base OS)
  • After unplugging a USB DAC, the computer connection (adb, network) may not come back until a restart.
  • Inactive shutdown can power the Nano off during a long USB copy; set it to Never in Settings while copying.
