Privacy Pros:<\/strong> FOSS, no ads, no trackers. Provides a better OS for niche devices like the RG35XX SP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Privacy Cons:<\/strong> Limited OS designed for niche hardware. Does not have security features like VPNs or Uncomplicated Firewall like other full Linux distros without advanced tinkering.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

KNULLI is a custom firmware for retro gaming devices (handhelds, bartops, etc.). It’s developed as a fork of Batocera. It tries to provide support for devices that fall under at least one of these categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no open-source kernel and\/or u-boot sources available\nThere are sources, but the kernel is either not mainline, and\/or too old (e.g. devices with a BSP kernel 3.4 like the Egret II Mini)\nThere is no GPU support or the GPU is not supported, so framebuffer is the only option\nIt’s a device that we own and have decided to build a CFW for it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features\u00b6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KNULLI supports devices with GPU (GLES support) and framebuffer only (legacy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emulation Station frontend for GPU based devices\nSimplemenu\/Simplermenu+ for framebuffer only devices (also for GPU ones if preferred)\nRetroArch plus multiple libretro cores\nWireless and Bluetooth support (including audio) when supported by the device\nSupport for external USB wireless for those without internal wireless card\nRetroachievments\nNetplay\nCover art\/thumbnail scraper support<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
