Wi-Fi Transfer

What it does

Features

• Any phone or PC

  Scan the QR code or type the address into a browser on the same Wi-Fi. No cables, card reader or extra app.

• Games go to the right folder

  Tap Add games on a card’s tab and each game is sorted automatically (.gba → ROMS/GBA, .sfc → ROMS/SNES…), using muOS’s own folder list. .muxapp apps go to ARCHIVE.

• Big files and whole folders

  Several files at once, including large ISOs, with progress and speed. Upload whole folders for disc games such as Dreamcast and PS1.

• Download anything

  Screenshots and saves to your phone or PC, a whole folder as a .zip, or just the items you tick.

• Full SD card backup

  The whole card (muOS, settings, games and saves) as one .img.gz file. Write it to a new card with Rufus or balenaEtcher and everything is back.

• Safe by default

  A new random PIN every time, local network only, and it stops by itself after 15 idle minutes. Deleting or renaming inside muOS’s own folder asks first.

• Both SD cards, as they are

  A tab for each card shows every folder and file with its size, and the top of the page shows each card’s free space. Search finds files on both cards by name.

• Works in the background

  Press X on the game console to go back to the muOS menu or play while the page keeps working.

Full SD card backup

Back up the whole card

One tap below the card tabs downloads all of SD card 1, the card muOS starts from (muOS, settings, games and saves), as one .img.gz file. If the card ever breaks, write that file to a new card with Rufus (Windows) or balenaEtcher (Mac, Linux) and everything is back exactly as it was.

• Only your data is sent. Empty space is skipped, so a 64 GB card with 4 GB on it downloads about 4 GB.
• Save it on a PC with enough free space. It takes roughly 1 hour per 10 GB over Wi-Fi.
• A consistent copy. Uploads and changes are paused while it runs, and the games partition is made read-only during the copy when possible.
• The new card must be the same size or bigger.
• Keep it private. The backup holds your games, saves and BIOS files, so it's for your own use only.

How to install

How to use it

1. On your phone, scan the QR code, or type the address shown (e.g. http://192.168.1.23:8080) into a browser on a phone or PC on the same Wi-Fi.
2. Enter the PIN shown on the game console.
3. Pick a card tab. Add games puts each game in the right folder; tick items to download, move, copy or delete them; search finds files on both cards.
4. When you're done, press B on the game console. X keeps it running in the background instead.

On the game console, Y makes a new PIN and logs everyone out. The ? button on the page opens the full guide.
