Hey, it's all right here in the wiki! github.com/TheGammaSqueeze/GammaOS

I think Joey should share with the class what are considered very bad websites. LMAO

hi , thanks for the tuto , but i cant find any wifi , can you help me

I'm having difficulty getting GammaOS to properly work on my 405v. Everytime I flash over the software full or lite, it won't pull up any wifi. With Daijisho it seems that I have to download a majority of its libraries from its github which doesn't connect because no internet. Anyone experience this that was able to fix this wifi problem? Really want to play PS2 games that won't chop up at 10 frames a second but I can't seem to get it to work right.

Weird thing is that retroarch flycast vulkan is broken now for some reason. Crashes right away. Other cores work fine with vulkan though. Tried different versions of flycast core, deleted all kinds of cfg files etc nothing works. That's a shame since vulkan flycast was for me the perfect way to play dreamcast with minimal lag and graphical glitches. Open gl flycast has way too much problems and redream has a huge lag

ANY ADVICE? awesome video, i follow step by step, i beleive it flashes correctly. then when i push power button to reset device, it just boots up as is like nothing happened. i see no gammaos or interface.

I get stuck at the connecting part. Always allow usb debugging does not pop up and the bootloader doesn't open.

Hello, I installed a beta version and everything works fine except the fan. There is a way to solve it

One thing that’s always a hassle with Android is setting up the correct/optimal Retroarch settings for each core. Is Retroarch with GammaOS pre-setup (scaling/filters/scalers etc) with each system/core? Also, does GammaOS have OTA updates or do we keep having do go through all of this to update? Thanks for the great content..

@JoeysRetroHandhelds

6 ай бұрын

Scaling yes, filters and shaders are optional extras and not really optimal or correct settings. No OTA for updating, would need to follow the wiki instructions which are similar. I waited for this full release before doing the video due to that.
