FAQ

Can I move my SD card between devices?

No. SD cards are built per device model — resolution, OSD assets and other layout differ between models. Use the Device Sync tool to carry saves, save states, settings and (optionally) ROMs across devices.

Something doesn't work after installing

Check your stock firmware version first. NX Redux relies on system libraries the stock firmware ships — install the official TrimUI firmware listed in Getting Started for your device, then reinstall.

I forgot my Simple Mode PIN

Delete .userdata/shared/enable-simple-mode from the SD card (from a computer) to turn Simple Mode off.

Where are my screenshots and recordings saved?

Screenshots go to Images/Screenshots, screen recordings to Videos/Recordings on the SD card. See On-Screen Display.

Where are my saves?

Battery saves live in the Saves folder on the SD card; save states are kept per platform under .userdata. Device Sync moves all of it between devices for you.

Why is there no RetroAchievements hardcore mode?

By design. NX Redux is not an RA-approved hardcore emulator, so hardcore mode is intentionally omitted to keep your account safe — softcore unlocks work fully, including offline. See RetroAchievements.

A community pak (e.g. PPSSPP) misbehaves — where do I report it?

Not to the pak's developer — community paks are built for NextUI, not NX Redux, and their developers cannot help with NX Redux-specific behavior. See Additional Emulators.

How do I update NX Redux?

Use the OTA updater in Settings → About (needs Wi-Fi), or copy the new release's MinUI.zip (without unzipping) to the root of your SD card and boot. Bundled emulator and tool paks update automatically either way. See Getting Started.

Where do I report bugs or ask questions?

On the NX Redux GitHub repository via Issues.
