you deserve quite a bit of credit in all of this as well. You figured out the controller input on the device which allowed us to expand it to regular applications in a proper way.Good work my friend ! Let's see what we can do with the next "Mini"

Mine was just an idiot-proof-of-concept (just a bit boring finding out how to correctly backup/resize/restore the flash chip), you got the main work, congratsyou deserve quite a bit of credit in all of this as well.

You got everything right except the restore procedure. Please don't get me wrong because there is no other way I could have moved this far without the work.Mine was just an idiot-proof-of-concept (just a bit boring finding out how to correctly backup/resize/restore the flash chip), you got the main work, congrats
Well, the mdfbrew described procedure will restore a backup of YOUR console made with mdfbrew your-console-backup procedure and it works fine.You got everything right except the restore procedure. Please don't get me wrong because there is no other way I could have moved this far without the work.
Like I said I'm a fan and um to digress I'm wondering what happened to all of the original accounts and icons because it looks like things changed. maybe its just me idk.

If you plan to switch from a kind of rom (ex. obb) to another (ex. non-obb) coming form another console the restore procedure described at mdfbrew will not be enough but I decided to leave it that way to avoid users problems (ex. recoverable bricks playing with partitions not needed to just backup/restore the working system) because I was not able to follow people in recovering their bricked console
If you want you can ask steckbecken to create an account for you at mdfbrew so you can add your procedure to switch between different firmwares and all the stuff you know about the rockchip platform, this will be fantastic !
Good ! The new "Mini Mega Drive" should be released at the end of this year but I am not up-to-date with itCool. I will reach out.
I want to add an extension to that procedure for when shit goes totally south because it will not always work and in addition add a single method for converting between OBB and non-OBB consoles. It does seem like it is written out of a great deal of caution and this is actually a really good thing.
Again I only know that the final recovery options are short and that currently there is a path between OBB and non-OBB consoles.
And I guess one last thing is a simplified and safe usb dev-switch on Intructables that is based on my current mod posted on the primary thread here.
The current one wire mod is, in my opinion, strange because I can see no reason why power is drawn from the main board and not the switch.
I have a spare that I'm hammering on... NAND backsups are fun.
Will ATGames distribute another piece of hardware next year? I hope so.

Please feel free to integrate the wiki the way you prefere, it is always a VERY good thing to have people interested about those kind of projects Oh and remembre, add as many detailed pics as you can

1.Android Studio. great tool. the 2017 model played beautifully with the adb debugger android studio has. You can even get real time logs (so you can even see in real time when your code is f-ing up)
2.Android Studio will compile the Apk for you as well.
3.Yes! I have been thinking of doing this for a while. I just have been busy for the longest with the Retro-cade and other shenanigans. Give me some time and i will clean up some unnecessary code (its not messy and it doesnt affect anything but it will make it easier to understand)
As for the music i agree with you. I can see how the main menu song can get old after a while. It can be coded to get an mp3 from the sd partition and allow the user to change it. I just never revisited this (and i should have) Totally possible to do with some good java code
game libraries can be totally done as well, the rom loading code would need to be mixed with a file explorer code sample. (i am not sure if i will revisit this anytime soon as i am working on a launcher for the super retro-cade as well as focusing on the 2018 model, but i can release the source shortly and maybe you guys can do stuff with it.
