Supported devices Device OS Status RG35XX-H muOS 2508.4 Tested RG40XX-H Knulli (Batocera 42) Tested RG40XX-H ROCKNIX 20260801 Tested Miyoo Flip SpruceOS 4.2.0 Tested R36S AmberELEC prerelease-20250515 Tested
Hardware decoding is verified on the H700 systems above. muOS and Knulli use CedarX; ROCKNIX 20260801 uses the bundled Cedrus modules. Tested Rockchip builds use Rockchip MPP on RK3566 with SpruceOS and RK3326 with AmberELEC. Other devices fall back to software decoding, which is too slow for normal gameplay.
The release requires glibc 2.38 or newer. ArkOS ships glibc 2.30 and is not supported.
