	Currently (September 2020), software installed on the RP2 at the factory is working with an incorrect battery capacity value. As a result, the power usage estimation algorithms (and therefore the battery meter) are not working properly. They should be taken as a rough estimate at best. Also, the RP2 is currently set to automatically shut down when remaining power capacity reaches 15%. This is fixed to a lower value (7%) in the new firmware ~~(upcoming)~~.

	Lightbleed may also be fixed by pushing down lightly on the screen in all 4 corners, to confirm its seated firmly. To fix ~~these issues~~, open your RP2 and look for the lower left motherboard screw when open from the rear of the unit, this screw is most likely a bit too tight from the factory.

	If you can't map the RP2's d-pad to the controller d-pad in Mupen64Plus FZ, make sure that in the Toolbox app the 'Joystick mode toggle' setting is NOT on 'Retroarch' mode. This should fix that issue. See here for more details: [[Getting_Started#Joystick_Mode_Toggle]]. Also, be sure to turn tv mode navigation on in Mupen64Plus FZ under Settings->Input->Accessibility->Menu Navigation Mode->Big Screen Mode.

	It seems that due to the way that RetroidOS works on the RP2, you should format your micro SD card as "exFAT" format. The 32GB micro SD card which comes with the RP2 is already formatted this way, but many new micro SD cards come out of the package formatted as "FAT32". Using a FAT32 -formatted micro SD card doesn't seem to cause any problems for RetroidOS, but any non-RetroidOS files stored on the same card may become damaged or inaccessible after using RetroidOS. Using a micro SD card formatted as "exFAT" appears to avoid these issues.		It seems that due to the way that RetroidOS works on the RP2, you should format your micro SD card as "exFAT" format.
