muOS app

romm[muos] isotipo

muOS is a Custom Firmware (CFW) primarily for handheld devices. Configurable, themeable, friendly, easy-to-use.

The muOS app connects to your RomM instance and allows you to fetch games wirelessly from your Anbernic device.

Setup

muOS

We leverage the muOS Archive Manager to install/update the app.

  1. Head to the latest release and download the romm_muOS_install_x.x.x.zip file.
  2. Move the compressed ZIP file to /mnt/mmc/ARCHIVE on your device.
  3. Launch the manager from Applications > Archive Manager and select romm_muOS_install_x.x.x.zip.
  4. Once installed, make a copy of /mnt/mmc/MUOS/application/RomM/env.template, rename it to /mnt/mmc/MUOS/application/RomM/.env, edit it (any method is fine, we recommend SSH) and set HOST, USERNAME and PASSWORD.
  5. Launch the app from Applications > RomM and start browsing your collection.

EmulationStation

We use PortMaster to install the app on devices running EmulationStation.

  1. Download the RomM App.sh file and RomM/ folder to the roms/ports on your device.
  2. Make the RomM App.sh file executable by running chmod +x RomM App.sh.
  3. Launch EmulationStation and navigate to the Ports section.

Note

Your device must connect to your RomM instance or home server over Wi-Fi. The easiest method is to keep them on the same network and set HOST to the server's IP and the port where RomM is running. Advanced users or those using reverse proxies can configure their network and DNS settings as needed, using a URL with a domain like https://romm.domain.com.
