Anbernic 40xxh woes

Issues 2601 Jacaranda

All this issues seems related to your setup, and not inherit from mustardOS, as I, and many other 40xxH owners, never had similar issues with our setups.

  1. The green tint: you probably set a colour filter for your nes folder, it is not a default option, it has to be manually done. To solve, press X over any NES game, go to colour filter submenu, and with the X button, so it assigns to the whole folder, select none. No retroarch interaction needed here.

  2. You probably do the first install on the device, remove the card to put roms in, and when you put the card back it does not boot again. You are probably using a steam deck or some steamOS based linux distro. If that is the case, that is what is killing it. Check here the explanation and how to solve it: Using a Steam Deck to transfer files.
    This could also be a result of a bad/fake card. Check the info below on how to test that.

  3. It does not lag at all in a clean install. Navigation is very snappy. You may be using a very heavy to load theme, or there’s probably something wrong with your installation process, even possibly a bad sd card.

Here are some steps to ensure you have a good working mustardOS install:

1- Double check the name of the image you downloaded, to be sure it is the correct one for your device, and check its sha256 hash against the one in the download page for your device. In the case of the rg40xxH, the download page show the following hash:
SHA256 b52c3b7c7d12549d606dcb06ef5e88dd1569112a5495f1e6914e9fdcbca6468a
You can drop the image you downloaded in SHA256 File Checksum - Online Tools, and it will generate a hash, if the numbers are the same, the download is good, and you can proceed. If not, download the image again.

2- Check your sd card’s health. Even if it is a new card, it’s not uncommon for those to come with defects, or even be counterfeits, even if they seem like good cards. The cards that come stock with the devices are prone to going bad really fast too.
Re-format your card with the SD Memory Card Formatter for Windows/Mac - SD Association, then run a quick test with https://h2testw.org/.

3- To ensure the flashing process goes as intended, use the recommended software, the Rasoberry Pi Imager from https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/.
(If for some reason the falshing process reports more than 100% that’s ok, it is just a visual bug with the pi imager)
