    Firmware

    StockOS

    Boot partition "R46H-OS 64GB" files: ⬇️ MediaFire

    Scraper is not working (restarts EmulationStation). Controls in PPSSPP emulator are messed up.

  • R46H boot partition files
  • R46H bootlogo - "RETROID BOY"

    • Game Console Factory Test Suite

    This tool can be found on the stock OS under OPTIONS. It includes following tests:

    • System Information
    • Battery Test
    • Controller Test (joystick and button test)
    • Multiple Screen Color Tests
    • Screen Brightness Test
    • Speaker Volume Test
    • Aging Test (time can be set in hours - video of the repeating test sequence is below)
  • R46H boot partition files
  • Load video
    Local File

    • On ArkOS R3XS this tool only partially works after installing a few required files. Device + SoC does not get detected, Speaker Test and Aging Test are not working, but the other tests work fine. Here are the packages you need to install via ssh to start the tool (copied from ChatGPT after some troubleshooting). 

    sudo apt update
sudo apt install \
    libqt5core5a \
    libqt5gui5 \
    libqt5widgets5 \
    libqt5multimedia5 \
    libqt5multimediawidgets5 \
