> I absolutely love MinUI on my RG35XXSP, but I hated that it turned the power LED off. Initially I tried to fiddle with just disabling the part of the MinUI boot that turned off the LED, but then I realized that putting the console to sleep and turning it back on disabled the LED anyway. That was baked into the OS, and I didn’t want to recompile the whole thing just to disable that. > > Enter this tool. It contains a script that gets set to run during boot to turn on the power LED and keep it on. It can also undo all of its changes by running the tool again. Since it does modify system files, I also figured out how to recover from any potential issues. I was unable to cause any significant issues during my testing, but the recovery plan is there nonetheless. Full documentation is available on the repo. > > Let there be light!

Once I saw that it worked in muOS I started looking into the differences between the two and trying to transfer them over to KNULLI. All my searching online says that it's an issue with mono but the files are there. muOS and KNULLI have different directory layouts so I am wondering if some folder isn't in the correct location. > > --- > > ::: spoiler Troubleshooting Edits: > > > Edit: Using muOS works. I'm using the same setup process for each firmware so I'm not sure what's happening here. I thought it might be an issue with the .sh file pointing to the wrong directory but I compared it to the Half Life one and it looks pretty similar. There is a log file in the Stardew Valley folder that mentioned a SIGSEGV while executing native code. It says this is usually an error in mono runtime or one of the native libraries. > > It goes into more detail but it says > > > warning: unable to find libthread_db matching inferior's thread library, thread debugging will not be available. > > > 0x0000007f8fded794 in wait4 () from /lib/libc.so.6 > > I might try to post the entire log file in its entirety later today. > > --- > > Edit 2: I decided to look more into mono but it hasn't really turned up anything. I thought I might be missing some kind of mono file but I compared the two firmwares and both have the mono-6.12.0.122-aarch64.squashfs file in \PortMaster\libs\ and the various mono files in \ports\stardewvalley\dlls. When searching for "mono" on the KNULLI firmware I do have an empty mono folder. I also tried reinstalling mono through PortMaster but it did nothing. After reinstalling Stardew Valley it seems like it auto-installs along with it. > > --- > > Edit 3: I tried to down-grade PortMaster by deleting the folder and .sh file and downloading an older version from GitHub to match the version muOS uses but I may have done this incorrectly because PortMaster is no longer launching. > > I found several other posts detailing the same issue or similar issues. The setup guide for Stardew Valley by RetroGamesCorps has multiple people in the comments mentioning it, the GitHub page for KNULLI has an issue post about this (it can be found here where I believe they attempted to launch the Stardew Valley .sh file through the file manager app Commander, and on subreddits like /r/RG35XX_H and /r/SBCGaming people are talking about PortMaster games not launching or launching after several attempts. > > I tried messing with the Stardew Valley .sh file to see if changing the monofile line to use the address of the mono squashfs file would help but that didn't seem to do anything. > > My next step will probably be to use the Steam console to download a specific version of the game. Some have said that might work. It all seems so sporadic.
