Knulli loaded and setup - first impressions

Knulli up and running. I have to say, I am quite impressed now after fiddling with it for a day. Install was simple if you have ever done something like Rocknix and can flash an sd card image.

I'm a pretty big fan of batocera, got Rocknix on other devices and I like that implementation here, thanks knulli devs. Got all my ROMs setup and played some games. Loaded up native Pico-8 with splore. Loaded up Portmaster and made sure my favorite games all worked.

Biggest tweaking needed: my favorite shaders (pixel transparency) weren't available in the shader presets, got to learn how to move them in and create new shader configs, but got it working finally (see SML2 shot). Now my GB and GBC games look how I like them.

Biggest surprise so far: battery life impressed me, especially on their suspend/sleep implementation. It's obviously day one, so I'm only extrapolating but from coming from Spruce, it feels like night and day. Going to test more in the coming days.
