Hi

I cloned, built and dd to sd, but not working. A few questions. The rootfs, does it contain the kernel? Do i need another partition? The shipped sd has two, but I did not want to destroy the shipped one, so just dd to new sd (that does not boot)

So what else do I need, and how do I load cores and games?

Hello there Mikhailv! Thx for the work on this, it helped me a lot!

And sorry to bother on it, I have a couple of questions, and I hope you shine a light and hope also you can understand my broken English, since my main language is Brazilian Portuguese, and yours is probably Russian, I'm writing because I followed the 4PDA guide as much as i could with the translation tools on my browser, I got pretty much everything and got it to run on the game Stick v20 I have here.

I don't have much experience on building from git hub, or even building to arm processors, but i have some understanding of what to do, and since I could not create a user in the 4pda forum (no Russian keyboard to answer the captcha) I found where to write to you and sorry again for the inconvenience.

I got the files from the links you made through 4pda forum, flashed the SD, flashed the rootfs partition with the latest one you have here (v3 i guess?), maintaining the other partitions without a filesystem to not break the booting on the v20 system and it worked fine, booted to retroarch joy1 is working games are playing etc, my questions are probably complicated but here they are:

Joystick 2 is not working at all, I wonder where it would be inside Linux rootfs to try and modify it, or even if it is there, could you give me hint where?

I messed around with the drivers for the input inside retroarch, "linuxraw" breaks retroarch booting, "udev" works. And for the joypad's drivers, it did not matter if i used udev, or linuxraw, or parallel port, although udev lists the joypads as 2 TWIN USB, but none of them get joy2 to communicate. On the previous version joy 2 would work, but mirrored joy1 commands.
Is it something wrong that I did? Do I require a specific driver on the Linux partition? can I get that from my Debian install using the joyusb ? and then force it onto the rootfs ?

And That's basically my problem, I want to play games with 2 players, since i will use this as a kind of a "party gadget".

Thx in Advice from the Brazilian "camarada" here.
