Test Release 1 (09/30/2021) - Only authentic Sandisk and Samsung cards are supported and recommended. - In my initial testing of my 2 units, 1 unit failed to boot with a PNY sd card flashed with ArkOS. The same unit would occassionally experience corruption with a Gigastone sd card. The other unit seemed to boot the same PNY card without issue. Didn't test Gigastone on it. **TO MINIMIZE ON POTENTIAL FRUSTRATION, ONLY USE AN AUTHENTIC SAMSUNG OR SANDISK SD CARD** - Follow the instructions from the wiki to properly loading this image: https://github.com/christianhaitian/arkos/wiki#instructions-for-loading - Initial boot and preparation can take about 8 minutes to complete due to the themes being copied. Be patient! - Be sure during initial boot, **Only have the OS SD card in slot 1 (TF1/INT.) during the initial boot!**. **Do not put an SD card in slot 2 (TF2/Ext.) during the initial boot!** Failure to follow this may result in strange behavior during the intial boot preparation process. - Once the initial boot has completed and you're at the Emulationstation menu, you can insert your second sd card into slot 2 (TF2/Ext.). - To make use of your second sd card for your games, go to options/Advancec/Switch to SD2 for ROMS. For more information, see: https://github.com/christianhaitian/arkos/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions---rg351mp#q-how-do-i-make-use-of-the-second-sd-slot-for-roms-and-games - There's no boot logo currently due to the unavailability of an updated uboot source code.
