Any Custom Firmware for the Retron Sq?

[UoyKcahi]

Have any or RETRO RULEZ released a custom firmware for the Retron Sq yet?

 

[UoyKcahi]

Is it possible to map the controller with a button combination so you can access the RetroArch menu without the keyboard?

I just whipped this up cause I was modding this a long time ago, but stopped cause I got bored with it. I also wiped my roms out of it so you have to add your own to /userdata/rom, which I increased to 442mbs

You can also add new cores (arm7hf Neon libretro) to /userdata/retroarch/download

How do I get the GUI to look like that? Mine is still the ugly green one.

Download that, and bring all those assets into /userdata/retroarch/assets. When you get in Retroarch, change the theme from rgui to xmb, save the config, restart Retroarch and it should look just like that

What build instruction did you use to make it?

 

[Jayro]

It seems to have lost the cart-dumping ability... The light flashes for a second, and then just stays solid, and nothing happens. Weird.

There's Build Instructions? Cause I had to figure this out on my own...

I took out Cart dumping on that one, I made a new one with Cart Dumping ability - https://drive.google.com/file/d/13vJ5EPHP2THpXTYniY2HfNxFkcIR_oyL/view

Well of you don't mind, I can test for you. I have tons of games I can test, both legit and bootleg.

That'll help actually, I'll prep a build tonight that you can use and teach you what to do.

Sweet. I have Linux Mint on my laptop, ready to rip.

Hey, I was trying to get that build running on a 64g card. I managed to extend the userdata partition out to 50 gigs but now the SQ takes over 10 minutes to boot up. Were you running the stock SD card in this demo video?

Edit: I too could help test save transfers if you would like more people working on it. I do not know much about Linux but I do have an external drive with Ubuntu installed on it and a decent number of GB games. I would be happy to help!

Check my latest one out. I still can't get saves converted back (this is due to my lack of know-how) but you can use that 64gb card on Partition 6 which will get mounted as "sdcard" you can stick whatever roms you want in there, without the extra loading time for "userdata"

I second the above sentiment. Thank you! I am still willing to test anything else you want to try with it if you need anyone to I noticed it runs PS1 games pretty well but mine would crash after about 2 hours of play.
