Hi Anbernic users. Have anyone tried to run this port in the Rg34XXSP? If you do, what OS do you recommend for the best experience? Thanks in advance. (I'm a new user to this PORTs things)

Next UI has totally changed my experience with the RG SP. I was already in love with this device, but this has made it my perfect EDC with its minimalism and lightning fast boot/load times. Not having to deal with finicky RetroArch menus has helped with immersion too in treating this like a simple GBA.

Interestingly, the subtle speaker buzz that was present on the stock OS and even in Knulli is totally gone on Next UI. It didn’t really bother me that much tbh but having it no longer present is just icing on the cake.

I’m honestly thinking of taking the simplicity and minimalism one step further and removing all the “extra” systems, just having one folder titled “games” and using it exclusively for GBA games. I think that would go a long way in eliminating just one extra layer of the dreaded choice paralysis.

Oh, this is coupled with Base OS, just fyi. And running on a single card setup.

Overall, absolutely stoked with this!

The reason I've been avoiding updating it is because I remember hearing that it took away the setting to set the fan speed. Last time I checked, the only way to avoid the whining sound was to set a custom fan speed to 90. So, I wanna know if it's still true and I should avoid updating it?

I was so happy when I opened the box, tested my device and there was no lightbleed whatsoever the screen was perfect, and frankly I was a bit afraid from all the posts. I then simply turned it off (from the menu), removed the SD card to add games, reinserted the sd-card and when I turned it again I literally SAW this light bleed "materializing" before my waking eyes. There was none, then it "faded in" very quickly, very strongly on the four corners and mostly on bottom center, more to the left. This can't be from pressure, the screen was fine I didn't even as much as touched the bottom screen with the stylus or anything. Do I have to return my device? It is so white that it looks more like some sort of shader overlay than something on the actual screen. Damn, this sucks.

UPDATE: the screen "lightbleed" artifact went away on its own by the next morning.
