I know this video is a little old, but I just want to thank you for doing this. I totally messed up my Super Console X a few days ago, but this video got it back up and running. That Danger Zone is no joke haha.
No worries. Glad you're up and running
Wow. What an awesome explanation. It help me restored my faulty delivered super x console.
Great Tutorial buddy ! 👌
I'm burnt out. :)
Cheap to the cheap cheap cheap
Cheers for this mate , i just got one booted it and it works second boot dodge SD followed this and now it works
just what i needed, thank you for taking the time to do this, cheers pal.
Another good tutorial! Can't wait to get my hands on this device
I am delighted with my X console! I highly recommend it to any Retro video gamer! I only recommend you get better controllers using the USB plug as the included ones have issues IMO. Peace!
@@dub2536 Agree! I ordered it from China by Amazon. By the way, what type of joypad you suggest? Maybe the Xbox 360 ones?
Hi! The device just arrived and ...well, it's great. Only a question: i'd like to play Atari Jaguar on it but i see that the Jaguar Core is not on the default Retroarch core list. I connected the device to Internet via wi-fi but in Retroarch i can't see the option to download the Jaguar core...maybe can I add it manually somehow? Thanks a lot ;-)
Very easy to follow tutorial (as per usual!)
NIce job here, thanks for the breakdown! Gonna build up the confidence to update!
Secure all your files before doing it!
The Failure Rate is extremely high and the publisher doesn't recommend an update.
But when it works, it's awesome.
All the fiddlers in the crowd shout "yeah!" ^-^/
It is working! Thanks!
@@RafalNav wahey! Nice 👍
Very Great Tutorial. Thank you very much!
God I wish I had the confidence to update mine, I just know I'll mess it up ! Have enough trouble trying to add games 🤣🤣
Just buy a new SD card and practice on that
Just image your microSD first. If you screw up then you can simply restore the image to the microSD.
Man, you're a retro genius! 🤓👍
I've reset my Retrostation 14k so many times from tinkering with it too much, and now there's not enough space to download themes, etc. Is there a temporary file that's taking up space? I mounted the card using Linux for Windows and Storage says there's only 121mb free out of 116gb, yet the roms are 113gb. The Restation drive shows 27mb of 719mb free.I haven't added anything, all I've done is reset the system to default numerous times. Do you have any videos or suggestions?
Thank you very much for this video!! I know I'm not the first one and will not be the last who felt helpless when the stock sd card beame unbootable. After I play around with Emuelec 4.0 for a day, I decide to fall back to 3.9 because I can feel the insufficient in memory when I switched to Roleta theme. Anyways I'm having 2 sd cards now, one with 4.0 and the other with 3.9, I'll play around a bit more to see if I should really stick with 3.9
Great work M8. What a Lot of Work.. 😭 Just hoping when i get my hands on retro Station 14 k, IT Will be updated 😅😇😇😇
905x3 can eat emuelec 4.0 no problem.
@@TeamPandory just hoping i dont have to update IT myself 😇
These instructions are leaving a lot of us stuck on the "Powered by Andorid" startup screen. I spent more time than I care to admit learning about this, and I ended up just buying my own Android box with better specs. I got that up and running with EmuElec 4.0 first try, so I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything wrong.
It has all the characteristics of a mismatch or invalid dtb for the S905M chip in the SC-X. I tried about 20 different dtb files from both EmuElec 3.9 and 4.0, and they all left me stuck on the startup screen. Never once did it get to the EmuElec screen.
It could be that they are mixing the boards of the consolex, or that the microsd is fake. You should be able to use the original dtb from your stock card.
To see what the board is, let android boot without the microsd in, then install the android apk aida64.
Check the cpu revision id , memory, and what is written. This should help diagnose.
Thanks for the offer, but the SC-X I got comes with some stripped down thing called "Hoolay Mod" completely in Chinese. I managed to change it to English, but there's no way to log into a Google account to install any apps. It just has the Libretro/Lakka launcher app on the homescreen along with a couple of media apps (MediaBox, I think).
About the useful info I can find in settings is:
Model number: HoolayMod for Amlogic s905 Family Ott Stb
Android version: 4.4.2
Kernel version: 3.14.29 root@ubuntu #1
Software Version Number: SNDS Ver G1.0.01 By Mr. Hoolay
@@TeamPandory Also, same problem with a different SD card straight from Samsung. In any case, I'm not even mad since the roms and bios files alone were worth the price of the SC-X. Made setting up my new box very easy. Looking back, I should have cloned the entire SD card from the SC-X and not just backed up the roms/bios.
@@squareandrare okay. Can you perhaps download the apk I mentioned on a pc via pure apk website, then install it from a usb stick via the installer in android ?
I've a feeling some shops are being even dirtier than usual with their business practices and I'd like to make a video regarding it, if the box is indeed a standard 905 (or something not advertised )
There is also one more option.
Get the apk (from pureapk) titled [root] libreelec (reboot from android tv)
This basically allows microsd with systems on to boot up.
The 905m I have also has the hoolaymod so I don't think that is the issue.
I also have a Gamebox G11 pro that crashed.
A video of how to restore it will be of help.
Thanks
Mil gracias!! Todo perfecto
hola, me podrias explicar todos los pasos uno a uno, ya que tengo miedo de perder las microsd de 128gb que me viene con la supersole x, un saludo y gracias
I have to send my Super Console X-Pro system back because it wasn't functioning properly. First, once I configured my controllers in the controller configuration settings, the system didn't allow me to reconfigure the controllers. As a matter of fact, the settings menu seized working: I couldn't get the menu to come up anymore. Second, when I would start playing a game from any of the emulators, the system wouldn't allow for me to go to another game without having to cut off the entire device, and restart it just to play another game. In like manner, I read reviews where one guy experienced the same problem. So, if there's a way to change to other games without having to cut the game console off/on, feel free to lend that information. Lastly, the SD card or the Super Console X-Pro system itself started causing the games to appear on the screen beyond the size of my TV screen. In other words, the images were expanded on my TV screen where the images of the entire system, except for the Android box feature without the chip, didn't fit the TV screen like when someone zooms in on an image at the max zoom in capacity. Anyway, I have to send it back because I am not familiar with how I should trouble shoot the system, and for some reason people who bought this Super Console X-Pro system seem to not be able to get in touch with a customer service representative from the seller.
You cannot expect a system like this to have every game fully configured for you. There are ways to solve all of the issues you experienced yourself, but it requires a little effort on your part to do so.
1. Configure the controller in the emuelec main screen, also have a HOT KEY set. If you don't have enough buttons, use select.
2. In game, push your set HOT KEY and also the button you set for NORTH (triangle on a PS pad) to get to the RetroArch screen. Here you can change settings like screen, controllers etc- and also exit out.
HOT KEY and start twice will also allow you to exit your game and return you to the main games list menu.
For one, comprehend what someone is saying first before you comment or speak to someone in a form of intellectual insult. Next, I made it very clear in all humility, what "my personal experience" was with the Super Console X-Pro system I purchased, from the seller I purchased it from. Does it mean that the gaming system itself is entirely bad? No. Still, I've read reviews from other people who had their share of difficult experiences with the Super Console X-Pro system from both the system itself, and the seller they purchased it from.
For example, 1) the seller I bought my Super Console X-Pro system from was from China; 2) the number that the seller sent me to call if I experienced any issues, was a non-working number; 3) the manual that came with the Super Console X-Pro system I purchased only had information on how to change the language in the system "settings," and how to configure the controllers.... that's it.
The instructions manual didn't point out other issues such as reconfiguration, switching to other games without having to cut the game off/on, and how to get the game images to fit the size of my TV screen or reconfigure it to the size of my TV screen when a situation like that happens. Notwithstanding, I made it very clear that I was not technically savy as to how I should go about trouble shooting the issues I was having. And any supporting information was acceptable. Indeed, I went to as many youtube videos that I felt could potentially help me find a solution for the problems I was having with my Super Console X-Pro system, but none of the youtube videos I viewed expressed anything concerning the assistance I needed.
Nevertheless, for what it's worth, I appreciate what information you did give that could possibly be beneficial to me in the future when I repurchase the Super Console X-Pro system, but from a different distributor, and seller.
@@ShawnMichaelVincentIngram no need for any drama here. I'm not going to bother getting into an argument.
- if you think you can get more help from the guys making these boxes- then good luck. All work is ripped off from emuelec- and these guys need all the praise.
Hello. I notice that this has a TF card slot but you show a Micro SD card. Can you use a Micro SD card in this TF card slot? I read online different things about this. Also does it have to be an SDXC or any Mico SD? Thank you.
THANK YOU!!!!!!
Peace be upon you, a question: How do I perform a recovery on the Super consale device to restore Android operation? Please make an explanatory video..
I did the replace on the folder but my super console x did'nt start, it seems nothing working
I've just ordered the Super Console X Pro! Then seen this lol is everything the same for updating the Pro? Thanks
I reckon so. Pretty sure the chips are almost identical.
@@TeamPandory nice one 👍 thanks for the reply 👍
Nice video. Very complete, thank you. Is it possible to get the missing emulators to show up? Like Colecovision, Daphne, and 3D0?
If you add the required roms to the correct folders, the emulator menus should display *once game lists have updated/ upon system restart*.
Hi there, awesome video. Am using the Super console x (not the pro) is there anyway of adding Emulators to it? Specifically Saturn or Jaguar. Have tried multiple times but just doesn't work. Any advice, I'd be extremely grateful.
Ah yeah. Was gonna get to a Saturn guide this week but got sidetracked, sorry. The system may be able to handle a few games but the 3d based ones you can forget.
@@TeamPandory ah nuts, so a working playable Die Hard Arcade is a fantasy at this stage lol Naomi and Dreamcast don't seem to want to run Dynamite Deka/Asian Dynamite without freezing the console. Thank you for the reply, really appreciate it. Will definitely look forward to the next vid
I got that I’m not that impressed with it but it was fun to scroll through the games
I've been trying to create a microSD with EmuElec 3.9 as an exercise before I buy an Android TV box and turn it into an emulation box. I have a Super Console X Pro and I can simply get the BIOS, ROMs from the Console's microSD and use those in the new microSD. However, my question is, should I scrape from scratch on the new microSD or can I lift those scraped items off the Console's microSD and transfer those to the new microSD? Thanks in advance.
That's up to you. It is possible to pull them from the console to be reused.
@@TeamPandory I mean, I wanna carry them over to the new microSD but where are they?
@@ronch550 at 1:20 of this video. You copy them to your pc.
@@TeamPandory oh so all the scraped stuff for every system is in the corresponding folder for that system in the ROMs folder? Ok thank a lot, dude! 😁
@@ronch550 yep. You should be able to copy most things over as they are.
How to restore the operation of the Android system in the Super consel device if the SD card is extracted and the Android system does not work
I tried to use this method to install 3.9 on a 512GB card. I'm able to flash the right image, add back the dtb image file, and the sytem formats the card as needed to boot. However, once I put it back into my computer, it only shows 2 partitions, and I cant view them using Windows Explorer. I can't add games, and if I try using WiFi, it says the roms directory doesn't exist (despite me seeing it on the STORAGE partition). There is a 3rd partition called GAMES on my original card that isn't there when I build it using the 512GB card. Do I have to make that? Can someone help?
EmuELEC 4 and up creates the fat32 GAMES partition. 3.9 and anything below creates an exfat partition that is inaccessible to Windows (unless you use the network) - Check our guide on copying games over @ th-cam.com/video/m33sCMju4jM/w-d-xo.html
Is this like an important update that needs to be done at some point or is it just optional? Will it run my games slower over time if I choose not to update?
For the Super Console X, it doesn't need to be done- but for the future of EmuElec- yes, this had to be done. It's a jump from 32bit to 64bit- allowing newer cores/ emulators, - also faster emulation. Unfortunately having 1gb ram, it limits this machine somewhat.
@@TeamPandory Thanks for the reply :)
Thanks for the video! Amazing explanation. I could get my Box Arcade functioning again. However, I do not identify the other partitions like the EEROMS and the STORAGE. I have only one partition of 500mb for EMUELEC and I've tried to resize the SD card or even create the EEROMS partitions in order to get the arcade ready to play, without success... Could you assist me?
Hello.
I recently got a Super Console X Stick.
I tried to update the firmware from 3.9 to 4.1 and I messed it up.
I have a back up of my roms but the unit refuses to boot. Can you help me with instructions to fix it?
Check the emuelec install guide video we made- that should bring you up to speed. AFAIK you need the s905x 2GB dtb which will be in the devicetrees folder.
@@TeamPandory Thank you! That worked!!! Thanks for being so helpful. You have a new subscriber,
@@dinoignacio Awesome! It's great to see you have it sorted.
Trying to figure out how to update my retroarch 1.9.0 on my super console x cube
Got the arm image but I dont have the partition files becuase my sd card shot craps. HELP! Where do I get the partition and dbt image files!???
Only reason I bought this was to play commodore games. Can’t get any of them to start.
Hi all i have a powkiddy y6 game stick. I backed up everything to my mac. Wanted to add games and now no games are showing on emulec menu. I only formatted the roms partition as it had no space to add games. Other partition is emulec with the software files. Now when I load the y6 no games are showing on emulec at all. I dont know how to find the scan game list section on emulec if thats the way to do it? Please help! 🙏🏿
Great video and thanks I’m pretty keen on getting a super console x pro 256 gb maybe? Is it worth the cash and also do you need to update the firmware from out of the box? Wireless keyboard needed too or can do without thanks for video.
If you want a one stop shop without much setting up, it's a great choice. If you don't care for NDS games, then I think the 128gb is probably best for the cash. Check our new series for how to make your own system- the HK1 Box we reviewed is faster than the Console X Pro - at 40$ or so. - Dont need a keyboard
Thank you also how do they get away with all these amazing classics on one system, licensing etc 😜 thank you for reply
Do you know if it's possible to install an openbor emulator and games into the super console x ? if yes can you show us how to do it? thank you very much your videos are great as always. 👍🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
Yeah. I'll cover that this week
Thank you very much, I look forward to seeing your video on this subject.👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾
Great video, one question where go to download the emu chicken pack?
Check description for links - uh... > SCX EmuChicken Fix Pack download - tinyurl.com/y5xraz9v
If it's not to be too much, what if you create a current image from your SSD (with everything updated, including the games) and allow us to download it ? Will it work ? Please let us know. Anyway, great content!!!
If you had a compatible system, sure. If you changed the dtb... But I'm not going to do that.
Hello, and there is a video on installing EMUELEC 3.9, I put it as 4, but the GAMES super console folder does not create, with the usual copying of the folder, the console does not see most consoles (such as, all varieties of sega. nintendo. ps1) thank you
th-cam.com/video/lti8T9rfeQA/w-d-xo.html
This covers any of the emuelec series.
HELP! when I followed these instructions and went to add the update via Balena, it formated the card and will no longer allow for partitions. I did copy everything onto my desktop, but I'm SO LOST on how to fix this. Please help!
We've since made a few more emuelec install guides, and how to add games. If you need more help pop by our discord.
Great video. Am I able to use a Samsung Chromebook to do this update?
Unsure. I don't have one to try out so, if you can find software to burn an image you should be good
Hello I tried to complete the procedure of copying patch files to the console via Wi-Fi as you show in the video, but I can only log in as guest and the console won’t let me substitute the files... would you be so kind to explain me how to connect to the console as registered user?
It's odd that it won't let you switch / overwrite the files. The next step would be to FTP in using FILEZILLA. We will be covering that soon on the channel. (hold onto your butts)
OMG banana etcher
Ever make ice cream from bananas? It ain't half bad
@@TeamPandory surprisingly, I have!
Ooo. Add strawberry jam ... Strawberry ice cream! Do you have a favorite?
@@TeamPandory so funny story, I have written three cookbooks, and I had a collection of banana ice cream recipes in my first book. My favorite was 1 lb frozen bananas, 1/4 cup strong cold coffee, 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp maple syrup. I totally had to pull the book off the shelf to write this out.
@@RetroGameCorps no... Trucking way. That's insane. Does the third book go over habanero ?
Hi 👋 do you have any idea/videos how to use headphones as audio? Cheers
I wish it was possible to install EmuElec 4.3 on the Super Console X Pro. Why would 4.0 be the last possible update for it. Perhaps so that we have to buy the newer model that comes with 4.3 pre-installed. But then will that one be limited to 4.3 and not be able to udate to 4.4?
What? No. The developers of emuelec want to go 64 bit regarding their software, leaving behind the legacy architecture. This requires far more memory and a bit more juice than the old system. They don't care about these systems at all, they don't get any profits from you purchasing them as they are getting totally ripped off for their work. Best thing you can do is get a clean 922x system like the n2+, and start to support their work on Patreon
Loving all your video's...Does anyone know how to reset the control settings for Retro Arch and or reset the console to default? Thanks
Perhaps in the danger zone reset retroarch I've done it. It does not delete your roms or anything
Dreamcast only has 3 games ? Mine does at least
Can this be done on pandora saga 3d mini tv box or is this specific to the console x
This process can be done on the newer 905x amlogic chips, the 812 in the pandora boxes aren't supported at all.
You will be able to install 3.9 to the key 7 / treasure boxes like we covered earlier, however
how much space you need for the update?
Thanx ! Work same with Super Console Cube X3 ? 😊
@@anthoyoda6463 sorry, I don't have one to try it out on.
i ad a problem when i was putting the roms back in the sd card,so i ad to format my sd card and do the whole thing again. and when i try to reput the roms back again EEROMS was'nt there anymore. can you help??
Format usually means remove data. You'll have to start again from scratch.
We van't help with any 'problem' if you don't provide any detail for it.
@@TeamPandory When i transfer the roms from the backup drive i made previously to my sd card, at 40% a problem occurred and my transfer failed. So to start transferring the roms from zero again i ad to right click on the sd card and click format to empty it... Then i start again from the beginning, but after booting it in the console and putting it back in my computer eeroms was missing
@@franswap-g2522 Is this EmuELEC 3.9 or 4.0? And what system are you installing to? The Console X or Console X Pro? --- You shouldn't format- or need to do so. EmuElec sorts all this for you, and prepares all the folders for you. You may need to flash emuelec on the card again.
Hello! Nice video, but, even if I have followed your instructions step by step, it didn’t work: the console remains frozen on the white splash screen before the emuelec logo appears! What do you think is the problem?
If you have issues before emuelec even starts, then I think it could be either 1. Fake sized microsd (check people!) 2. Wrong dtb file 3. Wrong image burnt onto the microsd 4. Libreelec root apk needs to be started (for devices not already "activated".. applies to new tv boxes)
@@TeamPandory for points 2 and 3, I followed your video, using your links; for cases 1 and 4, could you please tell me exactly what should I do?
@@pfranx is this for a super console x or console x pro?
@@TeamPandory It is a Super Console X, with emuelec 3,9... and by the way I don’t understand why the online update feature seams to work but actually it doesn’t...
@@TeamPandory I finally made it by copying the “original” configuration image file that came on the sd card with the console.
i cant update the system cause it tells me i dont have enough space
What do you do if the partitions aren’t showing in the computer after the installation? I only see the one Emuelec disc... and it says that it’s using like 1 of 2 gb... even though the sd-card is 256 gb??
My computer. Right click. Manage. Find eeroms , give it a letter
@@TeamPandory thanks!
followed all instructions but after installing sd card to super console x it stuck on powered by android logo... any solutions ?
If it's not booting, it sounds like you have the wrong version of emuelec or dtb, or have a poor quality microsd. Would need more info in order to help I'm afraid.
How do i backup the games when i cant copy off the games on the SD card? all it does is copy some and then it slows down to 0 and never ends, no error message or anything, i had to pull the power from the computer and now my Super Console X cant boot. maybe they sold me a bad sd card?
Sounds like you corrupted your sdcard.. Rule of thumb- never pull the power from anything unless you can "safely remove" or "shut down" before. Try it in your computer again- If it's a console x pro, you should have another 4gb microsd in the pack with a way to recover your microsd boot files if something goes wrong. There's a video on their youtube if you take a look.
Thank you for the tutorial :) Btw: how do i deactivate the upper right MEM box ?
My bad. I may have accidentally left that in the config. Enter retroarch, (hot key and triangle) go to the main menu, video, and in on screen notifications there should be a setting to turn off visibility of memory usage
OK, I've changed the update pack slightly to disable the memory box at top right. Re-download the file then slam on that config file. Enjoy.
Would anyone know why my start and select buttons do not open up options and main menu?
I remapped my controller and now cant get back to the options to fix them , any suggestions would be much appreciated...
Plug up a keyboard to navigate the menu
I’m guessing if like me you only use SNES, Mega Drive and N64, updating to 4.0 and running games from the main emulsionstation menu will work fine?
I mostly just faff tbh.
N64 ... Hmnn. Couldn't say. Keep a backup handy just in case
Brp,nintendo 64 isnt running good. super smash bros us lagging etc,,,,
Hi. I updated my console x max. Every Thing is fine.. but i cant sort the games in the System folder oder favorite folder. They looked randomly ..and i would like sort by alphabet. I dont find it in the menu.. and the menu by pressing select did not open any more. ..can i change a setting or Config data ? Wich and what have i change for this? Can some one help?

i got got Super Console X pro yes day as used it has no games on it
So I installed everything and as soon as I loaded the games on and put them on I went to turn on the Wi-Fi and it froze and then I reset and then it froze again on the main menu after it says updating and then nothing.
Did you use a new fake tested microsd card?
When i put the img on sd it cant find it anymore
Thanks alot for this video
Can you help me please
When I insert the MC to the console and then go back to the PC it doesn't have a folder EEROMS
And the partition is invisible
Check the emuelec guide we did on adding games. That has your answers. But you want to be copying games over via the network
Anyone else having issues? I updated as the vid tutorial instructed and everything looks to have gone ok. However it seems to keep freezing when going through the games menus? It’s done it a few times now? Also, when you quit a game via hot keys, it exits straight to retro arch rather than the games menu?
EmuElec 4.0 needs a LOT more memory. - You could try changing the theme to see if you can lighten that up. Which hot-key do you use to quit game? I think hot key and start, twice should work.
I usually use select and start twice to exit but it exits straight into retro arch soon on the first press of start for some reason when usually it asks you to confirm you want to exit. My memory card does seem to be very nearly full. Could deleting some games maybe help with the memory issue?
@@StevenHallsworth could be. Check in retroarch settings ... You may have enter retroarch set to start and select.
@@TeamPandory After updating to 4.0, be VERY careful with themes. Some downloadable themes will make the system freeze immediately, to the point where you can't even change back to another theme, because it freezes when you attempt to do so. The best theme with 4.0 seems to be the "Clean" one. It will make the system freeze up less frequently than the other options. It still happens, but not as frequently as with Carbon and others, so it's a fairly acceptable solution.
Does the Super Console X Pro support 512GB sd card?
Currently doing this on a Super Console X Pro, but after plugging in a new microSD for the first time I am met with the Kinhank screen instead of EmuELEC firing up it's initial scripts.
If you have anything kinhank- then emuelec didn't flash the microsd correctly.
@Eric Kuo You both tried overwriting the microSD you got with the console and it failed? - Did you make a backup?
@Eric Kuo Can I ask, does the kinhank screen show if you have no microSD in the machine? ... Oh, and did you fake-test the microsd? - If the verification doesn't complete, it could mean that the microSD is a fake card.
@Eric Kuo OK! Now it makes sense as to why the kinhank screen is on. As you're using a Super Console X Pro, can you try the other video? I made one specifically for the pro. This video is for the standard Super Console X.
@Eric Kuo th-cam.com/video/sOluaeOtTX4/w-d-xo.html
mention it here
there is system update menu in the console. does it breaks system if I simply run it?
I have a Super Console X Stick and someone messed with the SD card and it wont boot past the startup KinHank screen with an SD card in it now. I tried doing a fresh install like this and it is doing the same thing. Do you know if there are different steps or if I have to do something different since I'm using the stick model?
The STICK model!? Yes! You need to use the 905X 2GB dtb file - gxl_p212_2g
Great video, but I have two questions:
Is it possible to use the 4k graphic settings after the 4.2 update?
Is it necessary to do the 4.0 and 4.1 update before the 4.2 update?
If not, then I would like to do the 4.2 update directly.
It gets a little confusing- I think you cannot update to emuelec 4.2 from a prior version. You need to burn a fresh version of emuelec and re-copy all the roms over.
I followed your instructions and it seems like when I boot it up it is stuck on the Kin Hank screen! Doesn't do anything else!
Which system are you trying this on? You may be using the wrong DTB file
Me too🤕
Im using the super console x nes

This is the video for the regular Super Console X, not the Pro... Check this here : th-cam.com/video/1pQp8w-r6zo/w-d-xo.html
Is it safe to use your pack on a super console x3 plus on emuelec 4.6 or do you have newer packs?
Maybe. Have a look what is added- I don't even remember myself what's in the pack lol
I have a Chinese fake PSP so this emulec will work on it
I have a fake Gameboy. Can I play Gamecube games on it? - Sorry- this is how ridiculous that question sounds- You need to know the chip that's in that unit, and if it's an AmLogic chip, you may have a chance. Go see our EmuELEC install guide video for more information on that.
Its atj 2259cb chip inside it
The first time was flashed succesfully, however the second time I am missing the roms folder.. only the EmuElec part is there, no directory :( why is that?
Could be so many things. The folders are created when you boot up emuelec for the first time, and if its emuelec 3,9 or earlier, the roms partition can only be read via linux- or via network.
@@TeamPandory I used 4.2. it was working fine until I wanted to reflash it. (I messed up my Retroarch) so I formatted it and did the flash again, how ever this time it got stuck on Hanhank boot screen. I changed the device tree and it booted however with no Rom folder this time
@@alexanderryan9456 Try re-flashing and using the correct device tree. I've had it one time where emuelec didn't add the folders and it was solved by re-flashing.
@@TeamPandory I've reflashed it a few times already using different trees, still struggling. But I'm keeping on trying
Failed to open libretro core while trying to play ani playstation 1 game in retroarch. I tryied all cores, none is working.In the Emulstation every PS1 game loads into a blank reddish screen.
Is duckstation / swanstation selected as default? You need to convert the pbp to img if you want to play them. Change the emulator to PCSX-ReArmed if you want to start them.
Regarding copying those config files to the sd card how are you doing this as those are on the partition that isn't accessible to writing?
You use ftp to write to the box remotely.
@@TeamPandory thanks!
is this working for the xpro 2 console too?
May I ask why you don't show a video or tutorial how to hard reset the RetroArch menu?. As am sure I ain't the only person it's messed up on
What happened ? Did you hit the default configuration button?
@@TeamPandory Thanks for the reply. The menu messed up, when tried to move into next segment the bar bounces as if blocks the request. Was not able to restart RetroArch or change input buttons. Had to send the console back :(
@@britishwordplay4335 I think you can do it manually with Filezilla. Searching retroarch.cfg and erasing it (do backup anyway), i think doing this the Retroarch configuration resets. With Emuelec 3.6 or above the Emuelec menu (start button) has the option to reset Retroarch without enter in retroarch. Mine's came with 3.5 and i know the drama. :(
Another option is if you have an original SD card backup with Win32diskimagen, you can re-write the SD having it the same content that have at the moment of did the backup.
Sorry for my english.
@@KerobiaK Nice one for the reply. I ended up getting a 128gb version instead and copied all the games I wanted off the 256gb card for future playing
I preformed this process except I updated to 4.2, everything seems to work ok except once the game loads the controller stops working, does anyone have any thoughts?
th-cam.com/video/1N6t6X3CyJM/w-d-xo.html Tried this video?
@@TeamPandory yes I have tied this, the system boots up perfectly, and the controller works until a game a loaded up, then it does nothing no buttons work
I have no pc haw do i do it off the super comper x and can i delit a game to mack it fit but big sd will be beter
thank you very much for the video my console is in version 3.9 and your link currently shows version 4.4 of emulec you can update the console to that version, I hope you can answer my query, the processor of my super console x is Amlogic S905M2 rev c, I send this information in case it helps.
Those behind EmuELEC have pulled all legacy amlogic chip support from 4.4. Honestly it's best to stay with 3.9 unless you have a particular reason to be using 4.0 or so, as there isn't enough memory to run a stable install of emuelec 4.0+ as we mention.
@@TeamPandory thank you very much for answering I stay in 3.9 and I will continue playing with my console x
@@MundoNintend0 No worries- You might find this video interesting if you fancied powering up your box: th-cam.com/video/zEgK7EOD8mc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, this is great. One problem - only have a Mac. Can this be done on a Mac or not?
I'm sure there's a similar way... Unfortunately I'm no mac user.
@@TeamPandory I'll figure it out. I actually bricked the thing and now it only displays a green screen, so will have to update the system now anyway. One other quick question - If I use a new SD card, what format should be used? FAT32?
@@danielsutterby3380 microsd format shouldn't matter too much as emuelec install wipes it all anyways. Green screen ? What happens when you boot without microsd?
@@TeamPandory The system boots fine without the SD. Apparently it's to do with resolution settings, but I checked the system resolution and it's correct at 1080p/60hz. So it must be in the Emuelec settings on the SD card and I can't access those. Unless there's a way to access the file and the code on a PC? But my skills are limited.
@@TeamPandory By the way, mine is a console x pro, in case that matters.
To anyone in the chat. I just received my console in the mail and a few of MAME games come up with an error when I load them. Has anyone come up with a solution for this? Any help would be appreciated
Could You please help me how to enter by network to the consloe x because I cant copy emuchicken fix because there is a password to enter by network to emuelec?
Ok I find it user root and password is emuelec
Can I update the latest Emuelec version on super console X using this guide?
Me uno a tu pregunta, ahora emulex va por la 4.7
Anyone else have a lag when playing games like MVC2? how do I overcome this?
There can be a few reasons. What controllers are you using?
I need to ha e mines reloaded too. Can u help me?
You seem very knowledgeable about the SCX.
My controllers disabled during a Mario kart game. The select button is all that works now. I can cycle through the consoles with the select button but cannot do anything beyond that or even reach the settings to make adjustments. The system is completely useless now.
Any ideas?
Use a keyboard to get to the configure controller option in emuelec main menu. Set that. I think we've made a video on configuring controls for emuelec. Check it
@@TeamPandory do I need a specific keyboard? I did try to use a keyboard and mouse but neither were recognized by the system
@@waxdripbuzz if you can't get this working, id suggest to copy all the roms to your pc, then install a fresh version of emuelec 3.9 to the microsd. Then pop the roms back on.
there is a way i had this problem before.....you may need to use a new controller tho one that was never hooked up to the console.....boot-up the device without ANYTHING inserted so basically nothing connected in the USB ports......it will eventually ask you for a controller hook it up, hold the a button and configure it.....once you have that controller configured and into the main menu, go ahead and try configuring your other controller remember to keep the one you just configured plugged in otherwise you wont be able to navigate through the menu....
Hey man! I have an issue. After making the SD card bootable and putting into the Console for the first time the screen is just black and nothing happens. Is right when you say it will take a few minutes to get the File System Sorted. But the screen is just black, no Emuelec logo or nothing.
If it's black then nothing is loading. The other chap in the comments here found using the dtb file that's in the pro update video to work for him. Off the top of my head I can't remember the name.
Does this also work on the Arcade Box machines? I believe they use the exact same boards?
Depends on the board, and if it can be rooted. Arcade box manufacturers tend to side on "security", and if they block the ability to run an alternative OS off a microsd, or USB, then this whole thing isn't possible unless you can alter the current system that is in place. Much easier to just go out and buy a 35$ 905X3 MUB.
@@TeamPandory Ya, makes sense.
EmuElec 4.2 is available and I can not install the update from the console. It says there's not enough room. Can you help me with this?
Check our other video on installing emuelec. You cannot update via the update folder to either 4.1 or 4.2.
@@TeamPandory Can you provide the link for the video your talking about? I can't seem to find it

@Team Pandory I was wondering if could help please?. I have downloaded Dynamite Cop ISO for dreamcast it bugs out hard regardless from what website,any luck on why this is?. Also I try to add the unzipped files for same game for MAME and it does not register at all. Is it possible some MAME games would better work being put into the Final Burn or Arcade folder instead?
Dynamite cop will bug out mostly due to the mali 450 gpu. You need to use flycast / naomi folder. You may be able to have less glitches using the xtreme flycast core, but the better way to play this may be to either update to a 905x3 (see our review) or a mini pc
@@TeamPandory I have xtreme flycast in the rom folder yet when in Super Console X / Dreamcast it's not on the list of useable emulators :(. Plus I have no option to update cores via the Online Downloader lol is version 3.9
@@britishwordplay4335 Xtreme is one that is added by the guys that mixed up the Console X- it's not available, unless you find and compile yourself. We added it into the pack to add for yourself, but Flycast may be specific for Naomi / Atomiswave systems.
I think I did everything correctly, but the system only recognizes games from 2 systems (Atari and Ports) none of the other roms visible, anyone have any thoughts recommendations. Everything else seems to have updated as it should have.
If upon restarting the system *or updating the games list* you don't have any roms visible- you should check if they've actually copied correctly or not. If the system cannot see the game files, then the system won't show.
Good video. Any chance you would know why my roms folder does not show when plugging into pc? Only shows emulec but not the roms partition. (This is after first boot)
So this is after you booted emuelec once, yeah ?
It could be that the pc is not mounting it and giving it a letter. You can check by clicking right mouse on my computer, manage, then find your microsd ... Select the fat32 partition on it then assign it a letter.
I've been having this issue every now and then but assumed it was something else (mainly windows being nonsensical )
@@TeamPandory thank you for responding. Will try that out today.
Hi Sir. can i ask and answer my question ASAP. heheh. Is it works the super console x using the laptop as a monitor? please answer it ASAP i really need help?.
... You'd be better off by installing batocera to a usb stick then running the emulation directly from the laptop. Trying to use a laptop as a monitor is just asking for problems. Something to remember. KISS! (Keep it simple, stupid.)
