This release of UnofficialOS brings new and updated cores and emulators, support for the MagicX XU Mini M and U8, and a few important changes. Now, the RK3326-CLONE image will default to the BatleXP G350. K36/Clone users please see the updated directions here. These are important steps for these units, so please review this wiki page. There has been Xtreme cores added for N64 and DC, which significantly improves performance on the weaker chipsets. A new 3DS and PS2 core have been added. The overlay for the MyMini controls has been fixed also. Special thanks to @KMFDManic for his work on the Xtreme cores, @Sundownersport and @KitFox618 for all the help adding and testing the new cores.

IMPORTANT Known Bugs/Issues

Powkiddy RGB20 Pro and Clones

Currently there are no leds working when uOS is running. Charging led works if the unit is powered off. We are working to fix this.

Powkiddy X55

This device has a few known issues.

1. Charge the unit while its turned on, not while its powered off or sleeping.
2. Plugging the power cable in with the unit off causes it to boot. This is normal right now for the unit to charge.
3. Powering down fully for more then a few minutes at a time resets the battery meter. This IS NOT drain, its a bad meter reading.
4. And last, sleeping the unit breaks sound.

What I have been doing currently is charging the unit to 100%, sleeping the unit when not in use, then I'll wake it and reboot when I want to use it. It still has very good battery life when sleeping, as I only lose between 5% and 10% battery daily. Not ideal I know, I'm working towards a fix.

Odroid Go Advance

There is currently hotkey issues with this unit, specifically with PortMaster. Ports require a hard shutdown (not recommended).

Working on fixes for all mentioned issues and bugs. Please report bugs/issues to the uOS discord here.
