Improvements

• Bluetooth: known devices show as soon as the menu opens (@CatalyticArkun)
• Bluetooth: audio returns to the speaker when a headset disconnects on the Anbernic XX, Smart Pro S, and TrimUI A133P devices (@CatalyticArkun)
• Bluetooth: pairing, forgetting and connecting report whether they worked (@CatalyticArkun)
• Progress bars use pixel cells instead of font characters, so they show on every theme (@huyhoang160593)

Bug Fixes

• Games are saved before auto-shutdown when the emulator is paused (@Sundownersport)
• Bug report and other tasks no longer leave the menu blank; Left/Right on a task row no longer runs it (@Sundownersport)
• spruce shaders (TV, dither, gritty, LCD, S-Video) display correctly on TrimUI A133P devices (@ryanmsartor)
• Miniloong: no more static burst when changing Bluetooth headset volume (@CatalyticArkun)
• TrimUI A133P: volume keys work on headsets with long names (@CatalyticArkun)
• Anbernic XX: Bluetooth starts after an unclean shutdown (@CatalyticArkun)
• RG28XX: Bluetooth option removed, the device has no Bluetooth radio (@CatalyticArkun)

Anbernic RGXX+ series: These devices require a BaseOS TF1 image, which you can grab here. TF2 takes a standard spruceOS installation, so your spruceOS card stays freely swappable between supported devices.

Powkiddy RGB30, RGB20SX and Miniloong Pocket 1: these devices need dArkMoss on TF1, which you can grab here. TF2 takes a standard spruceOS installation, so your spruceOS card stays freely swappable between supported devices.

BaseOS and DarkMoss images can be downloaded and installed automatically using their corresponding tabs on the Spruce Installer application for Windows, Mac and Linux!

Manual Installation

• Seriously, use 7zip to extract onto your PC THEN copy the files. IDK why but Windows breaks stuff if you use its built in extraction tool.
