The reality is that Kuwanger did the majority chunk of the work on how to boot linux and lakka as a proof of concept and PSX_specter showed people how to do get lakka stable enough to run on the device.I really have very little to do with anything the guys did, i just fiddled with the android portion of things (im a newbie programmer) and took a crash course of linux command lines that ultimately became handy when i learned how to use a uart cable. I really dont like the term "partner in crime" that was Jess Ragan being a bit umm i dunno, silly? lol. i will try that a bit later today.ġ.1 has a pc engine core which if we install retroarch separately and map it to the /system/cores/lib will launch super cd-rom games provided you map a bios."Īny chance to share 1.1 with us poor mortals damned to the issues of fw1.0? maybe we can launch ps1 games if we define a bios in the original retro-cade launcher cfg file. "1.0 had a psx core in the retroarch image. too bad that injecting homebrew apps into this is too darn complicated for most folksĬare to share the incantation? (and how to undo it in case we want to go back to the stock image)ĮDIT: I see, you're the "partner in crime" of the PSX_Specter guy (or the other way around). I think i got this as far as i could specially since i am only a newbie coder for android. I wished I had a serial TTL cable to dump mine and share it. Link to the post with capture of their own pics on Amazon at the time of 1.1: If your unit has the 5 games of 1.1 then you'll render a service to everyone to share the dump (unsure how to flash it onto older units like mine but better than waiting on the Retrobit guys as they don't give a shit). Supposedly there are 2 versions, a 1.0 and a 1.1, the differences are in the list of games and tweaked emulators in the later version (for the better with less stutter and smoother video). Auto-mounts USB drives and SD cards was able to use dd to dump the firmware image in a couple of minutes onto an SD card.Īre there different versions around? How to identify which version I have? Using a TTL serial converter with 115.2kbps will give you a root console into some Android based image. Edited Jby thetick1Īs was mentioned earlier, there are holes for the header pins for a serial line on the PCB right next to the SD card slot. I was not happy with compatibility reports otherwise I might have bought one of these if the compatibility was better and firmware upgrades existed. The entire retro gaming community would we better without these asshole retroArch stealing half ass junk dealers. I hope they go bankrupt and never release another product. Hyperkin is nothing but a shameful quick turn money grabber. That is just criminal when they sold v 1.0 with the enticement of firmware updates. The box is NOT decent if you can't update to the latest firmware. If they were to disappear tomorrow they would have deserved it in full. proof is in the pudding.Īlso the way they used retroArch without permission is not good, the notForCommercial use clause is so obvious to be painful. This arcade-emu-Rpi-class box is actually decent, I am pissed because they fixed some issue but can't update the old units after having sold the item stating that the reason for the SD card is so firmware updates will be supported. That is not a fair assessment of the situation.
