Update README.md

Browse Source 
Added a `MicroSD Card` section to `Hardware` to provide some detail about the SF2000's slightly unusual microSD card situation. Added detail about the `Neo Geo Unibios Menu` discovery to the `Arcade` section (thanks `nanchon18#2262`!). Updated the custom firmware FAQ with the latest details. Updated the "what modding can I do" FAQ to strongly suggest fixing the bootloader bug before doing any other modding to the device; also added a note that the Tadpole tool can perform a lot of the modding tasks. Added a note to the `Battery` section about the SF2000's poorly calibrated power monitoring curve, along with a link to `dteyn`'s SF2000 Battery Level Patcher script (also added a link to that in the `Tools and Links` section). Data Frog has now officially released the `August 3rd`/`08.03`/`1.6V` firmware, so added that to the `Firmware` section; also updated all of the tables in the `Resources` section to include the new firmware. Finally, renamed this `Version History` section to `Document Version History`, to help prevent any confusion in regards to what the version numbers in this section refer to (they're not related to firmware).

So is the "Data Frog" any good? Only you can answer that question for yourself. There are certainly more powerful devices out there, more fully featured devices, devices with better hardware, etc. - but almost all of those devices cost a lot more than the SF2000. At the end of the day, you have to look at the features offered at the given price-point, and only then can you decide if you're interested in the device or not.
### Is there any custom firmware?
As of August 19th 2023, **no**, not yet. However efforts are underway; an SDK for the CPU has been identified, and custom firmware is now in the very early stages of development. Most recently, folks have been experimenting with trying to build different Retroarch cores, both to see if they build at all, and if they do, to see what their performance is like on the SF2000. Results thus far have varied. Some have functioned correctly, albeit at slow speeds; others have failed to run entirely. Most have crackly/broken audio due to running below correct speed, and some have no sound at all. Input problems with some cores have also been reported. The cores are individual cores, built as entire firmwares in their own right - there is currently no way to "switch" between cores without taking the microSD card out of the SF2000 and replacing the firmware with one built to contain a different core. Work on allowing the core to be switched by some mechanism is also an area of focus for future work by the devs.

Work on allowing the core to be switched by some mechanism is also an area of focus for future work by the devs. A side project has been investigating modifying the stock firmware to replace or add additional emulator cores; the intention of this is just to learn more about how the device functions internally, and it is not currently planned to build a custom firmware this way.
[A GitLab repo](https://git.maschath.de/ignatz/hcrtos) has been set up by `ignatzdraconis` for the work, and you can follow along with discussion in the [`Retro Handhelds` Discord server](https://discord.gg/retrohandhelds) (specifically, in the `🐸data_frog_sf2000` channel there's a `SF2000 Dev` thread where most of the tech talk and details are posted first). Note that any cores currently built should be considered highly experimental, and are not vetted to be "safe" to run (e.g., current builds may push the hardware of the SF2000 to its operational limits do to optimisation issues, and may incur thermal damage to the device if left running for too long, etc.).
### I just got my SF2000; what modding can I do with it?
In no particular order, some of the current customisation options available are:
If you're planning to customise your SF2000 in _any_ way, then I **strongly** recommend the very first thing you do is [fix an annoying bug in the device's bootloader](#bootloader-bug) - otherwise you're likely to end up with a non-booting device. Seriously - do this before you do anything else!
Afterwards, in no particular order, some of the current customisation options available are:
* You can [fix an annoying bug in the device's bootloader](#bootloader-bug)
* You can [upgrade the firmware to the latest version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8dT2fdGfck)
* You can swap out the [buttons](#buttons) and [d-pad](#d-pad) (and their membranes) for ones from original SNES controllers (not SNES Classic), which gives a more retro "mushy" feel (if your replacement buttons have 3 "pins", you may need to file or clip one of the pins off)
* You can swap the [battery](#battery) for a higher-capacity `3500 mAh` 18650, which will give you longer playtime (at the cost of longer charging time). If you do decide to replace the battery, make sure you use one with a built-in protection circuit, as the SF2000 has no under-charge protection.
@ -86,6 +89,8 @@ In no particular order, some of the current customisation options available are:
* You can add your own ROMs to the `roms` folder on the microSD card, which will then appear in the user ROMs menu of the device. You can also modify the built-in ROM lists using [FROGTOOL](https://github.com/tzlion/frogtool)
* You can [replace the default menu theme with a custom one](#how-do-i-install-new-menu-themes)
Many of the above tasks can be done using [Tadpole](https://github.com/EricGoldsteinNz/tadpole), a general management tool for the SF2000 developed by `.ericgoldstein`.
### How do I install new menu themes?
The SF2000 doesn't natively support themes at all; however, all of the images and sounds for the stock theme live in the `Resources` folder on the microSD card. Therefore, by simply replacing the stock theme's files, the stock theme can be replaced.

### Thumb Stick
The SF2000 uses a Switch-style thumb stick that does _not_ depress for L2/R2. It is compatible with Switch thumb stick third-party covers.
### MicroSD Card
The SF2000 uses a microSD card for storing everything, including the device's firmware. Most SF2000s ship with an included card, formatted for 16 GB of storage. Some of the included "16 GB" microSD cards are actually 32 GB cards, even though "16 GB" is printed on them - they are genuinely 32 GB cards, and the default 16 GB partition can be expanded to use the rest of the card if desired.
The SF2000 is _very_ picky about the types of microSD cards it works with - many folks have had issues where well know, name-brand cards refuse to work in the device, while cheaper cards (like the stock card) work fine. The reasons for this have not yet been determined. If you've swapped over to using a non-stock microSD card, and your SF2000 isn't booting (and you've ruled out [the bootloader bug](#bootloader-bug)), then there's a good chance your SF2000 just won't work with the microSD card you're using.
### Battery
The SF2000 takes a 18650 type rechargeable battery, which is easily user replaceable (it's behind a battery door with a screw), and comes with a 1,500mAh one which runs for about 4 hours. 18650 batteries with and without "nubs" both fit fine. The console has built-in over-charge protection, but _does not have under-charge protection, so for safety do not leave the console turned on when the battery is low_. From when it displays a full-screen low battery indicator, it takes about 3.5 hours to charge the stock battery. The green charging light does _not_ turn off when fully charged.
Also note that while you can technically charge the SF2000 while it is powered on, doing so using a charger that supports fast charging or power delivery has a high chance of blowing the charging module IC and killing the device (multiple community reports). For safest charging, use a charger that only supports a maximum output of 5v.
The stock firmware's power monitoring system (which controls the battery level indicator on the main menu, along with when the device warns the user about a low battery condition) is poorly calibrated for the stock battery that comes with the device; as such, the SF2000 basically indicates it has a full battery at all times. `bnister` and `dteyn` from Discord worked together to identify the locations within the stock firmware that the calibration is stored, and determined more appropriate calibration values. `dteyn` wrote a Python script which will patch the `1.6`/`08.03` firmware to correct the battery calibration - you can [find that script here](https://github.com/Dteyn/SF2000_Battery_Level_Patcher), along with much more detail about the issue and the solution.
### Wireless Connectivity
The SF2000 does not feature wifi or Bluetooth, but it _does_ have a 2.4Ghz antenna to support local wireless multiplayer using a compatible 2.4Ghz wireless controller for Player 2. The Y2 SFC wireless controller and the SF900 wireless controller have both been reported to work fine.

#### Neo Geo Unibios Menu
Discord user `nanchon18#2262` discovered that with Neo Geo games using the Unibios, the Unibios menu can be accessed in-game by pressing `SELECT + START + up` simultaneously. The Unibios allows access to features like cheats and DIP-switch settings for the game.
#### .skp Files
Another thing worth mentioning about arcade emulation on the SF2000; in the `ARCADE` folder on the microSD card is a sub-folder called `skp`. This folder contains (by default) 167 `.skp` files, each named after one of the zipped ROM sets in the `ARCADE/bin` folder (e.g., `mslug.zip.skp`). These files are actually save state bundle files, just like the ones you can save yourself using the save state feature - the only difference is that these have the `.skp` extension instead of `.sa#`, and these are loaded automatically when the game itself is loaded. Many of these files start their respective arcade game up with a credit already inserted. One speculative possibility for why these files exist is that some arcade games will start to a dip-switch screen, or some other ROM-check screen, which may be difficult to bypass with the SF2000's limited controls - a save state that automatically loads _past_ such a screen is therefore very useful to have.
@ -250,8 +265,7 @@ Known firmware versions are currently (dates approximate):
| April 20th | ? | The first official firmware update; fixed some button mappings for Genesis, added support for 15 new languages. Also partially broke SNES compatibility - many SNES games will run very slowly on first launch, but quitting and immediately re-launching the game will have it run at normal speed (normal for the SF2000, anyway) |
| May 15th | ? | Added a built-in UI for global button mapping (which is broken in several ways, mainly SNES and Genesis controls are swapped, and no support for setting Player 2 controls), added a History feature, added a Favourites feature |
| May 22nd | 1.5V | First firmware with an official version number. Fixed the SNES/Genesis swapped button mappings, and now sets Player 2 controls to be identical to Player 1 (no way to set independently). There's some evidence of undocumented emulation improvements; some GBA homebrew that was non-functional in previous firmwares now loads correctly, and some GBA titles see marginally improved performance |
There's a new firmware that has started appearing on some devices delivered to folks around the end of July, beginning of August 2023 that seem to have a different BIOS on them than any of the four above; I'm dubbing this BIOS the `August 3rd` or `08.03` BIOS as that was when its MD5 hash was first posted to the Retro Handhelds Discord server. Currently, little is know about this BIOS revision, including whether or not it's official; at least initially it appears to be very similar to the May 22nd revision.
| August 3rd | 1.6V | The only official release note indicates that the issue with low sound volume when using A/V out was fixed. Aside from that, community members have noticed that the inability of the SF2000 to work with in-game saves appears to have been fixed for GBA (but not other emulators) |
Custom firmware (CFW) is currently in the very early stages of development (see [here](#is-there-any-custom-firmware)). In the meantime, the stock firmware has been investigated quite a bit; here are some findings from it:

### Images (Used)
As far as I am aware, all of the below images are actively used by the `20230515` version of the firmware; happy to take any corrections if it turns out any of them are unused! Note that while the stock theme is based around a `640x480` resolution, the actual _display_ on the SF2000 is a `320x240` one. The OS on the device uses nearest-neighbour scaling for its images, giving the stock UI a somewhat aliased appearance. If you're planning to make your own theme for the SF2000, design it for `320x240`, and then double the resolution when exporting the final images to the device for a crisper look on the internal panel. I've written a generic image tool for the SF2000 - it lets you convert SF2000-formatted images to PNG files, and lets you convert PNG or JPEG images to SF2000 formats (which may be useful if you want to theme your device); you can [find this tool here](https://vonmillhausen.github.io/sf2000/tools/genericImageTool.htm).

### Images (Unused)
To the best of my knowledge, the following image files are currently __unused__ by the `20230515` firmware, and were probably left over from previous devices (the SF2000 shares a bit of lineage with some USB-stick devices) or development. The images marked "Alternate UI" below appear to have been for a UI where the systems were scrolled through horizontally, and the "shortcut" games for each system were scrolled vertically.

### Notes For Theme Creators
This section isn't really about the `Resources` files per-se, but it's tangentially related. The fact that the SF2000's UI resources are pulled from the microSD card opens up the door to "theming" the device, which is great. However, if you do decide you want to make a theme for the SF2000, here's a few things I've found that you may want to bear in mind:

## Version History
## Document Version History
- `20230829 - 1.35`: Added a [MicroSD Card](#microsd-card) section to [Hardware](#hardware) to provide some detail about the SF2000's slightly unusual microSD card situation. Added detail about the [Neo Geo Unibios Menu](#neo-geo-unibios-menu) discovery to the [Arcade](#arcade) section (thanks `nanchon18#2262`!). Updated the custom firmware FAQ with the latest details. Updated the "what modding can I do" FAQ to strongly suggest fixing the [bootloader bug](#bootloader-bug) before doing any other modding to the device; also added a note that the Tadpole tool can perform a lot of the modding tasks. Added a note to the [Battery](#battery) section about the SF2000's poorly calibrated power monitoring curve, along with a link to `dteyn`'s SF2000 Battery Level Patcher script (also added a link to that in the [Tools and Links](#tools-and-links) section). Data Frog has now officially released the `August 3rd`/`08.03`/`1.6V` firmware, so added that to the [Firmware](#firmwarebios-bisrvasd) section; also updated all of the tables in the [Resources](#resources) section to include the new firmware. Finally, renamed this "Version History" section to "Document Version History", to help prevent any confusion in regards to what the version numbers in this section refer to (they're not related to firmware).
- `20230819 - 1.34`: Updated the custom firmware FAQ answer with the latest progress notes. Replaced the bootloader bug FAQ with a more generic FAQ covering the main situations under which the SF2000 fails to boot correctly. Added a brief note on the mysterious new `August 3rd` BIOS that has started appearing on some newer devices.
- `20230804 - 1.33`: Updated the custom firmware FAQ answer with the latest progress notes.
