Newest nightly version added support for appimage extensions, so you can start applications not integrated to rocknix including Eden

I don't remommend using Eden on rocknix, but it's now possible.

Cons: same desktop GUI with small buttons, 'cause it's not made for mobile devices, I recommend navigating with a mouse for setting up the configuration.

Games don't show up on the ES-screen, you always have to start the application first and then select a game from within the eden GUI.

You can grab newest aarch64 nightly from here

(Linux - ARM/aarch64 - PGO appimage)

https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-ci/nightly/releases

Place the "[...].Appimage" (I renamed it to "Eden.Appimage") file in the "games-internal>roms>ports" folder

(You also need the switch firmware and keys files like you always do for switch emulation on eden)

STart the " .Appimage" file from the "Ports" section of Emulation station

Connect a mouse via USB OTG and set the controls to the listed controller instead of keyboard, otherwise the internal buttons don't get recognized.

Also set vsync to "mailbox (recommended) for lower input lag

Down left you can switch between different settings including "docked/handheld" mode

Go to "install firmware" and select the path where you placed the firmware file, do the same when asked for the licence keys.

It worked on my retroid pocket 6, but the latency is as high as on android and thus bad in general like it always has been with citron/eden.

Don't ask any questions related to switch emulation on the rocknix discord channel, they will get blocked!

Is there a way to run as administrator in GameNative?

I need to be able to run this exe as administrator to play Bleach. So far only GameHub is able to play this game with this feature available.

Flashed Nightly Rocknix build to microsd for RP Mini but don't see the abl folder

So, I flashed the nightly Rocknix build to my micro sd card for my RP Mini but I don't see the abl folder. To be clear I flashed ROCKNIX-SM8250.aarch64-20260508.img.gz to my 128gb sandisk micro sd card. I tried using the rocknix image burner software as well as simply flashing it using Rufus. Both had the same result with no abl folder. I was able to find a link to a rocknix abl github, but I do not know enough about this hobby to know if that's the right route or if something else is awry. I was also trying this last night with the previous nightly with the same result. Every guide i see suggests the abl folder should already be there after flashing. Could I get any guidance? I have tried googling but it's mostly lead me back here to people with similar but different issues. I think it might just be an issue of the current nightly builds, but was wondering if I was missing something or doing something wrong. All responses and advice are appreciated, I tried to be detailed but if there's any details I've missed let me know and I'll try to share it.
