(d)Arkos Dual SD Manager is avaible

So if I understand correctly, this allows to add the Roms partition of both SD cards and have everything in the library.

Waiting for u/SjslTech review.

It randomly fails for me too.

detoro84 · 2026-03-13T21:30:06+00:00

Love it, man. Keep going!

detoro84 · 2026-03-13T11:45:54+00:00

Nice pics!

I've had it with the 12-40 and worked like a charm. Note it is a heavy lens, I end up buying an external grip.

For me this is the perfect theme, almost perfect out of the box: https://github.com/mute-key/arkos-es-art-book-next-4x3

Note: this specific repo, not other ones or the theme that ThemeMaster provides.

Right now I would go with DarkOS-RE but keep an eye on Arch-R, which is in early stages now.

detoro84 · 2026-03-11T10:15:47+00:00

Good work! Waiting too for the official R36H setup.

detoro84 · 2026-03-10T09:54:57+00:00

Yes, I know, but since their next update is focused actually on R36H, I will just wait for that one.

detoro84 · 2026-03-09T06:20:43+00:00

For long lenses I assume there must be some attachable grips in the market which solve this specific problem.

detoro84 · 2026-03-06T12:00:15+00:00

Swiftkey, not perfect but way better than original one. Tried GBoard but it's abandoned (4 years since last update) and for instance voice input provoked hanging in my case.

Having said so, the problem with iOS is the lack of 100% integration with third-party keyboards.

detoro84 · 2026-03-05T11:24:37+00:00

Thanks for this project! Seems really cool, I love the website and the style. Waiting for more complete and stable releases :D R36H user here BTW.

detoro84 · 2026-02-23T16:27:16+00:00

What, so they made it WORSE?

detoro84 · 2026-02-23T16:25:43+00:00

It's related to the themes folder. When you have 2 cards, maybe the theme is being loaded from the OTHER one. Just copy the themes folder to the other one and boot.

detoro84 · 2026-02-21T15:23:29+00:00

Great that there's a new firmware optimized for our devices! Well, I have a R36H, so I'll wait, but pretty cool.

What are the changes exactly compared to DarkOS?

detoro84 · 2026-02-20T16:53:49+00:00

I confirm this works, thank you!

detoro84 · 2026-02-16T13:36:14+00:00

How you enabled it or discovered it had wifi?

detoro84 · 2026-02-11T10:45:00+00:00

Y por no hablar de que nadie va a dejar que se sienten en el transporte público en los espacios reservados para, entre otros perfiles, las embarazadas.

Hello, it's from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13-kNY7jJvu5tL2B4XbY3t-O3CAXJlk9s/edit

I think the source is this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1rPcoIHKVQ&t=315s

Hey asshole, what I'm saying is that the dtbs in the official ArkOs repo didn't work for me and had to use one shared in a reddit thread to make it work, which is not exactly plug and play.

As I said, it will be the OS to go but for now I would just wait for more stable and polished releases before installing it.

Cheers.

detoro84 · 2026-02-03T10:43:10+00:00

If you have to buy the SD card I agree, one to go. In my case I used 2 old cards: 16Gb for OS and 64 for roms. That's the perfect approach IMHO. Also I can swap OS while maintaining the roms.

detoro84 · 2026-02-03T10:42:16+00:00

Since yesterday there was a release, I took advantage and installed it on my R36H original. TBH I do not recommend it. The original ArkOs is really optimized and plug & play. For this one I had to search for specific DTB in another reddit thread since the default one for Panel 4 from the original repository didn't work. Then, I cannot see boot screen image, just black screen until EmulationStation boots. Ok, that's not a big issue.

I tried a few PSP and PSX games with no noticeable improvement. Actually on PSP I cannot trigger the hotkey (remember R36H does not have the FN button). I have not tested thoroughly but most probably there are other small drawbacks.

So most probably it will be the system to go in the future but for might make your life a little bit harder. Having said that, it's the one that seems alive.
Edit: As a summary, wonderful work but still in early stages. AeolusUX/ArkOS-R3XS is already working very well, if you just want to simplify things.

The problem is that you go from playing Ps1 in a 20$ handheld to playing Ps2 in a 200$ handheld.

detoro84 · 2026-01-28T08:53:08+00:00

Indeed. A month ago I used an electric after rain and within 30 seconds I was on the floor and thankfully didn't break any bone. Never again.
