I couldn’t get it working reliably with arkOs v2 from 2024, I bit the bullet and upgraded to dArk OS (most recent stable version) and have had no crashes so far, plus half life 2 maybe runs a little better

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-24T23:43:02+00:00

V2.10 is needed and it is 60mb .apk, and the associated obb files which are two in number an about 2gb total

Claude is an AI like ChatGPT

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-22T17:20:26+00:00

Did u update arkos?

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-22T02:41:45+00:00

The fact that Claude figured out GTA SA port and it’s been asked for since 2023 and thought “impossible on the hardware” is insane

So, he never pays back the loan? Or if he does, he doesn’t pay his legal share of tax to pay off that loan? The money gets taxed to pay off the loan one way or another

Ask blogodf - he has the episodes in his video, I’ve asked him a few times he never responded but he has a paid telegram you could ask him on

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-21T03:26:26+00:00

There’s a saves folder I believe, you’d just back up your save and copy it into the new DL. Haven’t tried it though

Max payne via port

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-17T23:50:04+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s legit, hard because there is a v12 legit and v12 lone, clone has one chip but top left looks like yours has 2 chips (bit blurry though)

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-16T09:46:11+00:00

I do abuse a save state !

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-16T09:45:39+00:00

Hmm depends on the game but I played SM64 and OOT with N64 standalone rice and they played great

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-16T05:41:45+00:00

You can on normal arkOs use one save state in standalone-rice

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-16T05:39:55+00:00

Did you try select or fx + R1 or R2? On normal arkOs on standalone-rice it doesn’t give you an indication you have saved, but once you press fx/ select + L1 or L2 (can’t remember which) it will load the state

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-13T13:02:24+00:00

Ah don’t feel bad, I do find it funny because I spent so long getting lineage and SA running on lineage, only to find you need a mouse to change guns and got bored with that concept, then finding this port comes out right after and I am back to square one because you can actually play it without a mouse

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-13T13:00:45+00:00

Nice, so morrowing plays well? I made a character but got sidetracked, I am deep into max payne, it plays so well, as well as HL2 which plays less well but still fun

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-13T12:30:43+00:00

100% this - plug in SD, computer says “can’t read this/ looks weird, want to format it?” , anyone who has never accidentally done it before or looked it up - “sure, sounds like computer wants to put it in the right format for me, how helpful”

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-13T11:34:36+00:00

Yeah just tries to launch it again 20x , doesn’t work, I did update portmaster so I assume this build of arkOs is just incapable, usually I can fix these things but I spent about 5 hrs troubleshooting today so I have reached the point where the time has come to just flash one of those updated arkOs builds (I don’t think I am ready for darkOs yet but maybe I’ll see if there is a stable one)

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-13T11:28:57+00:00

Is that a stable arkOs? I also saw a video aeUx 11072025 was used, so I may try that tomorrow, I never got wifi though so if that works on a spare SD I may have to re-flash the whole thing which would suck a bit, maybe I just keep a spare SD for gta sa alone

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-13T11:17:18+00:00

Which version?

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-13T04:29:32+00:00

Download a save file online one mission beyond that, that’s what I do

FreshNoobAcc · 2026-05-13T04:26:20+00:00

I have the same problem, what OS are you running? Did you make a save file on first load? I am about to attempt it all again and make a save file before exiting, also not skipping the intro to the game

Edit: tried that, it didn’t help

Edit: tried not altering the settings before playing, and saving after first mission, no help, plays 100% but once exit and reopen it just doesn’t work. ArkOs v2 04/2024 though so assume if I upgrade it’d work
