Hi Martin,

  Martin H said  I have now received the device.
However, it is an R36Pro.


I think/hope that is just a clone with a slightly bigger display.

  Martin H said  It does not come with Ark OS but an internal EmuElec.
I have not yet managed to get Ark OS to run from the SD card. Will mmb4l also run with Emuelec?


In theory Emuelec is also built upon Linux, so the arm64 build of MMB4L can probably be installed on it, but you would be on your own ...

<Wipes the sweat from his brow>

So you're seeing the emulation-station front-end similar to what I posted in my previous video but without the Native/MMBasic program group ?

1. Have you tried configuring a wireless dongle and SSH'ing into the thing ? Depending on your answer to question 3 it may not be strictly necessary but I want to know what tools we have to work with.

2. Are you running with one SD card or two (one for OS and one for ROMs) ?

3. Do you have a PC that can read the contents of the SD card and read/write to its file-system ?

4. How much Linux do you know ?

Best wishes,

Tom
