Yes ... well, at least I've done it, I'm not sure Martin managed.

The aarch64 build of MMBasic for Linux can be installed and configured as another "emulator" on an R36S that is running ArkOS (just to be clear MMB4L is running as software not as firmware / directly on the metal).

You'll need a compatible wireless dongle, an OTG cable and some Linux skills so you can SSH into the R36S and install/configure it.

There are no written instructions yet, but I'm happy to talk you through it (and document it as I go along) if you want to.

Best wishes,

Tom


Thank you. I am just ordering the r36s, will reach out as soon as I have it. On a related note, can i use (after all is set up) a usb keyboard connected to the r36s via the usb otg port?
