Welcome to the ArkOS-G80CA-MB wiki!

Firmware

• Based on the ArkOS K36 Firmware with a modified Panel 8 and Panel 9 DTB file for the function button and 1512Mhz max speed.

Firmware Enhancements

• Focus on speed.
• Cleanup of unused emulators, cores, scripts, logs, etc
• Added the function button to enable emulator menu access and emulationstation brightness control.

G80CA-MB Limitations

• Wireless is restricted by the limitations of output current on the OTG port. I have tried multiple adapters, but they keep disconnecting in the dmesg outputs
• RTL8188EU drivers are included within the kernel
• Volume is low, needs to be above 50%.
• Battery Values shown in emulationstation are hit and miss.
• Charging values are restricted by the current DTB values, which needs investigation (remove the SD card to charge fully).

Helpful hints

• Black Screen - Hold the power button for 10 seconds, release, then push for 2 seconds.
• I used the wrong DTB, and now my screen has fuzzy lines around the border. Power off, remove the battery, wait 10 minutes, then try with the correct DTB.
