I was gifted an RG35xxSP

It has two sd card slots, one for booting and one for holding ROMs and other files. The system comes with a pre-installed sd-card image with more ROMs preinstalled than I could ever play. The hardware is around 1GB ram, 4 cores, and a 640x480 display. It kind of makes me want to put a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W in the same form factor.

I put KnulliOS on an SD card and booted from that, the Ports installer is nice. I was able to install and launch DevilutionX (Diablo 1 Engine) with the Spawn MQQ and start playing pretty quickly. I have Diablo 1 and the Hellfire expansion. So I put the MPQ files from those on and was able to do multiplayer Hellfire. That was pretty cool. I tinkered with DevilutionX a little bit when it first came out, but I don’t think it had Hellfire support then. I need to figure out how native ports are crated. It’s Linux under the hood (batocera maybe?) so I just need to know what versions of libc, etc. are available at runtime. Oh, one aspect of multiplayer, you must enter a password, so I had to sync a BT keyboard with it to get into the game, but after that I didn’t need the keyboard again.

I haven’t found a MUD client yet.
