OK, now I get it. After flashing your SD card, put it back in the Anbernic then enable WiFi. Exit the wifi menu. This actually triggers the WIFI to show up on your network. Even if the Run command fails, just go to My Computer. I saw my hand held device on the network and began transferring files wirelessly. They did this as there can be issues with SD cards that are formatted on a Windows machine being recognized by a Linnux OS. While a bit cumbersome, I can totally understand where KNULLI is coming from. This method of file transfer is fantastic as I don't have to remove my SD card a ba zillion times. Thanks for the video.
@RetroFunTech- Thank you for another great video! I was just looking for a custom firmware for my RG40xxv. Looks like I have something to tinker with now. I really like the vibe and style of your channel. It's very chill and just feels like I'm hanging out with a cool friend. Keep up the great work!
Great tutorial! Have a 40XX V arriving in 2 days and will be using this guide specifically. After watching several Knulli/MuOS comparisons I'm opting to install Knulli. Subbed!!
@@RaduPNTits so much more stable and the vast majority of games just run smoother on it. The integrated scraper and theme downloader is awesome too. The main reason I switched was for Daphne integration and then everything else that came along with it, ease of use, overall polish and performance was just a bonus.
This was really helpful for troubleshooting an issue I’ve been having with Knulli, getting some serious battery drain on the 40 and probably switching to another :(
I had one huge hiccup but that was out of my own stupidity but this was a very easy guide, thank you for that! Also Knulli is 100x better and much prettier to use than what it was on my stock 40xx. I'm going to use this for just purely old retro consoles and some arcade stuff and my retroid 4 pro for all the higher end stuff.
HA! Coulda used this a few days ago but I followed their online guide and was tweaking my 40xxv for a good part of the weekend. Wait till you get to trying to change retroarch settings or hotkeys, then it gets really difficult lol. I love Knulli! I just wish I knew some details before taking it on, Russ left out some kinda important details! Good tutorial!
Thanks Kyle👍. I love Knulli too. It's the most user friendly at the moment. MuOS is great but requires a few more steps. What did parts did he leave out?
@@RetroFunTech My pleasure! Retroarch hot keys, missing systems like 3do and cdi, and the ext4 file system, in his video's, in his written guide? I'm sure it's complete, but his video? Not so much.
Is there a way to get retroarch to use overrides? I’ve tried to disable the emulation station overrides so it takes in retroarch but nothing works, not even overlays.
Hello there, just want to ask if u ever encounter missing bios? I am new to this and when I did check my missing bios settings, a lot of them is listed. Would really need some help
I'm tired of youtubers saying "we're going to do the 1 card method because it's better" or some BS like that. It's not better. It's MUCH worse. They just don't know how to do the second SD method, which is VASTLY superior for every use case other than only loading that single SD card with 8 and 16-bit ROMS. You try transferring PS1, DC, TG16CD, SegaCD libraries over WIFI....you'll wish you took the extra 10 minutes to setup that second SD card...
Hi, I currently have an anbernic rg40xx h with default os and I want to install Knulli. I just got one question: do I have to backup some data from the sd such as bios or something? Or does the new os came with already installed bios?
Yes, if you don't have that info saved already. I would back up the whole card or the systems that you want and then you can use those games after the CFW update. Just throw them back on the card after.
Genesis Plus GX is the goat IMO. The music is accurate to real hardware it just give you the option to use the FM module on the Master System for the two different kinds of sound chips on the Genesis
Thanks for the video. I am, however, confused; my understanding is that the Knulli OS works on EXT4 formatted disks. How come you format the SD card in Fat32?
How to make a micro SD card backup of the knulli system? I would like to make a perfect backup with or without rom/bios. I want to preserve all the changes I made to the system and all the games.
Idk if it’s just me, but whenever I reboot, I get an error that says, “We couldn’t find any systems! Check that your paths are correct in the systems configuration file, and your game directory has at least one game with the correct extension.” Also, I’m missing a LOT of systems as well (when it working, before the reboot). Any ideas?
I bought a knulli os plug n play 128 card slot for my rg40xx h with pre installed games to every game consoles. Would anyone know how could we activate rgb Lights for analog stick. It seems it is not available in the settings
Im stuck after the knuli download. I dont understand how to extract the download to proceed... i have windows 10 Downloaded it. She says to extract all its grayed out on my pc? 😢 help the less tech savy 😅
Hello! Thanks for this tutorial. I have followed closely your guide and with Knulli's Wiki, however, I am always encountering issues with Networking sharing. I have enabled network sharing in my PC, checked network settings in anbernic, but I still cant \\KNULLI. I am unable to copy files from my pc to my rg40xxv. I've checked reddit and any sites with info on this, but the guides provided doesn't seem to be the same case as mine, since everthing should work fine. I have another device connected to my network, but my anbernic doesn't seem to be detected. Have you encountered this same issue before?
Try rebooting the anbernic device. I did have to do this once to get my computer to see the device. If that doesn't work, maybe try rebooting both the Anbernic and the Handheld. Hopefully that works!
@@RetroFunTech Thanks for the response! I tried rebooting both my pc and the handheld, it did connect once and I was able to transfer some roms. But that was it, no matter what I did or how I tried I can never connect it again. What really fixed it was reflashing the SD card, haha. I really didn't wanna reflash it because I thought it worked when I rebooted it, the copying and pasting time was too long for me to redo everything. But yeah, I reflashed knulli on my SD card and now it works.
Hey, i have the abnernic 40xxv coming in the next few days, i have 2 new SD cards, one so i can replace the original stock SD card and to hold the firmware/os etc, the other for roms (both 64gb) Would i just remove the stock sd card and follow the process in this video for one card, and then format my other card to fat32 so i can store roms on it ? any help would be great (im rubbish with these things ) great video too :)
What I reccomend is to get multiple and replace the stock card(keep it) but also make back up file of it on pc and use fresh card for what ever forward you want to use but don’t put games on that card use another card for games in tf2 slot. I personally use the modded stock is it personally my favorite and easy to use. But I have multiple cards for the os for the system so this way I have choices. A lot of these videos and guides are pretty easy and good for those not that great with it
Can you make a video tutorial on how to expand the partition of the SD card because I was able to clone everything from the 64gb sd card to a 512gb SD but it shows that I only have 43gb max capacity and 8gb free space. This is for the stock firmware btw.
@RetroFunTech I have pre-installed games on my Anbernic, Will installing this firmware, follow your tutorial, remove my pre-added games? my device came from China so I guess that is why I have all these games already setup... Thank you.
I always recommend using a different SD card for custom firmware so in case you don't like it or something weird happens, you have the original card. But yes... Flashing will wipe the card and everything on it. Make sure you have a backup of the games
You can't , i'd stay with stock OS personally, Knulli is pretty looking but that's about it , you won't be able to play Sega Saturn on this FW , you will need Batocera 33 bios files to get the bios to show also. Admittedly the stick OS is ugly but it works .
Suddenly, my knulli started to fail. No game could be launched, and when i change anything, like time or something, it resets inmediatly. It happends whit my second sd card, the one with the games. If i use internal storage, it works, but it is a smal sd without games
My concern is everyone in the community talking about the bad battery drain. I really want to give this a go, but I think it's going to be MuOS right now.
good luck with channel, but i did knulli on 40 v, i used 512 ssd, that i , was able to get it to see, and it looked just like Emuelec/emu station, it looked great, but it "hard froze up constantly, had to use reset button, over and over, then finALLY degraded to soon as "knulli" logo popped, it locked up hard. I was ready to just return, it , but decided to just put back in sd1 that came with it, and now it works PERFECT, (though ugly, as you now get to choose from your storage options, now 1 or 2), no cool art, BUT, its is no longer crashing , and unless Knulli has major update, wow, its just not worth hassle yet, but the unit is really cool, i dig it, but on knulli, as others have said, its cool, but just wait for a bit, its just not stable for this 40xx line, YET, (i said others were wrong on this, telling folks not to do KNULLI, now, they were correct) its not ready
I flashed Knulli for RG40xxv with same steps as you using Rufus, but initial boot is stuck at resizing filesystem like forever. I tried two cards one 64gb one 128gb but to no avail. Both cards are brand new and one of them is bricked now because Knulli stuck on Anbernic. Can you advise what's wrong
@xS0UL3ATERx well that's what it is supposed to happen. Which in my case did not. My 64Gb did get filled UP with only a few psx isos. Anyway I just got back to the Stock OS, getting the stick LEDs to work on Knulli was a chore. And even if the emulators on Knulli / bactocera are better, It made my Anbernic going to full battery to empty in less than an hour. Not an option for me.
@@RetroFunTech I got it all installed and your guide was extremely helpful, I do have a question is there any way to change the da stylist sensitivity and size?
It got partitioned. I had that happen to my card as-well. Its something knulli OS does makes it partition. But I had to go into terminal and type a command or two to get it back to 128gb. Idk how to do that on windows tho I have the commands if you’re on Mac too

Check the wiki. Knulli requires a some other steps in order to use the 2 card method.
why using a 128gb sd? by formating it with rufus you trash a 128gb sd card into a 4 gb 🤔
It creates partitions. There is a larger partition on it that is for your roms. Then partitions for the system
@xS0UL3ATERx well that's what it is supposed to happen. Which in my case did not. My 64Gb did get filled UP with only a few psx isos.
