Update

in General discussion

Hello

First of all thank you for all your hard work, you turned my R36s into a fantastic device. I have two questions:

How often will you be updating the OS images? for example, the r36s has gotten an update yesterday.
Would it be possible for you to add support for using two SD cards at the same time? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh3Vakx6RDs

Thanks again

HiHo, erstmal ein riesen DANKESCHÖN! für eure unglaublich tolle Arbeit :) Ein "Rundum Sorglos Paket" mit geilen Skins und geiler Mucke, fantastisch! :)

Was salhab meint und auch mir fehlt: In dem Video ab Minute 0:48 kann man sehen, wie er eine Option wählt: "Read from SD1 and SD2 for Roms" - Sprich, Roms ZEITGLEICH von beiden SDCards lesen.

Dazu kommt noch die Funktionalität der FN Taste, beides findet ihr in diesem Image ( Zweiter Link ):

Zitat:

As a better more up to date solution solution, you can use the custom image maintained by AeolusX. More information about it is available here: https://github.com/AeolusUX/ArkOS-R3XS

Liebe Grüße und vielen, vielen Dank für eure Mühe!

Yes 🤗 last weekend we could build up a new image style. For the R36S with the AeolusUX base Image (read from SD1 and SD2 in the same time), we are now enable a self-expanding feature which was quite tricky because all retroarch settings were not always accepted. For the R36S I did quite a lot of testing and is nearly ready for a release.

Spoiler: with the new image style, you need just to write the image to a SD card, start the device and whatever size your SD card is (16 GB - 1TB) it will do the expanding job for you, with a completely updated system. 😜

The size of the image will be somehow between 6-7 GB which is much better to download 🤗

We are still trying to implement the „read from both SD card in the same time“ feature for other devices.

Ahhh…now I know what you mean. Via script or button combination start e.g. RetroArcade from TF1 or StockOS or JelOS from TF2 = Dual-Boot

Like for the RG35XX with Stock OS and Garlic OS.

Very good question, never tried it and I have no idea if it will work. I will take some time at the weekend to find it out.

Because the video which you mentioned in point 2) shows just:

OS on TF1

Games on TF2

and exactly this is in the guide which i posted.

What I do for the moment is to upload a preconfigured 2-SD-card setup for R36S because a lot of people asking for it. This means:

image 1 is for the OS (16GB SD card or higher needed) which goes into TF1 slot

image 2 is for the games (128GB SD card or higher needed) which goes into TF2 slot.

retro-arcade-v-04-backup directory listing (archive.org )

Everything ready to go

Hello salhab,

the images are updated time by time whenever a bundle of changes is ready to make it worth updating. Most likely, the images itself will not be updated too often since the major changes are expected for the ports and other games.

Support for a second sd-card is already present. We have a guide included to explain the necessary steps. So you can either use a single sd-card or with a second sd-card.

Thank you. Could you point me to the guide on how to enable both SD cards at the same time? Can't seem to find it

Hello, yes thats easy to do, however what I was asking was if it would be possible to update the OS to support using BOTH sd cards at the same time, for the OS to read from tf1 and tf2 (as this has been done in other releases via some script)
