Sadly it does not work for me - installed via the Archive Manager and if I load it up, then all buttons dont work. Did not do anything else. I have to exit via RESET of my device (RG 35XX-H). Any known bug to cause this?

Volume up/down also not doing anything.

As per the message directly above yours, install rockbox via portmaster

Installed via PortMaster, working fine now but it’s showing up as a game in the Ports category instead of an App. Is there a way to fix this?

no there isn’t. the best thing you can do is to add it to a collection on muos

Not _yet_

Hopefully soon this will be possible. The reason it works the way it does at the moment is because the vast majority of things available on portmaster were games only - this is changing so we are looking into ways to change the placement of the ports based on if they’re a game or not

Ah, that’d be smart.

For now, I just access all ports through my collections and I have my collections split in to “PC Apps” and “PC Games” to separate out the tools/apps from the games 🙂
