Sorry for causing you so many issues Philip, I was that seller loved the video and so glad you brought it back to life I would not have a clue to do also what you went through if you want anymore duff units that AliExpress won't refund me let me know.
No need for an apology lol, that's the lottery of buying something that is for spares or repair. From now on, I will plug everything onto an external monitor. OBS doesn't do too well with multiple HDMI / USB adapters. And yes I'm interested in a few more duff units too. Thanks for subscribing and goodluck with your ebay store.
Amazing. I would have tested the bounciness of it by hurling it at the wall long before the end of the video. Thank you as well for chandroid 🤣. I'm stealing that. Keep up the good work mate and well done.
Chandroid is trademarked lol. I wasn't keen on fightng with the software but I had a hunch the hardware was good so I had to get something running on it. If Emuelec didn't work, I was going to start looking at the different version of Linux to see if they would run on an S905. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Yes, software isn't my favourite thing either. I was looking at soft modding a PS2 but the amount of steps it took and the hoops you had to jump through didn't appeal to me. Give me a hardware fault or some trace repair anyday of the week.
When I turn on my Super Console X, it boots up, but the device shows a red light and the controller doesn't work on the screen. Do I need to connect a mouse and enable the controller in the options?
I haven't used mine since the video but I remember the controllers being a pain to calibrate. So yes, I think you'll need a mouse or perhaps a keyboard to use the menu system.
Hey phill sorry for the later question but i was wondering if you could help me? I havent used my super console x in about a year or so now when i play theres no audio, tried messing around with audio output settings but to no avail
It's been a while since I opened this one but I do recall there's not a lot in them. The only thing I can suggest is to clean the HDMI port, try a different HDMI cable and even hook it up to another TV. You could open it up easily enough and look onthe board for any signs of damage, paying close attention to the pins on the HDMI connector. It could be software, perhaps prepare another SD card. Good luck.
Did the video help you? I didn't particulary like enjoy making this one but it has been very popular. There must be a lot of people facing the same problem.
Ps when i put the HDR cabel back in i have soundHi i have a x2 pro super console i think i changed the resolution now when i tyen it on i get no picture but i do get soind if i remove the HDR cabel need help 😢
I bought a SCXPro from a Cash Converter type store, all worked as normal, now when I try to save games the egg timer freezes at 0%, then I have to hard reset to go back to the system. As I can't save any progress, the system is useless to me, as I like RPGs etc... any ideas?😅
@@PhilipBryden it's a pain, I'd been after one for a while, just a shame I can't save anything. I tried to see if I could see the contents of the card on my laptop but it said I need to format it...
Thanks Gary. I don't have much patience but I'm stubborn, so I couldn't let it win ha ha. I haven't taken a good look at those boards yet. I've been in work 7 days last week and this coming week looks like a busy one too. If I can get one of the boards working using parts from all of them, I'll consider that a success. Cheers.
@@PhilipBryden you’re like me then I often go to bed and get up again to try another way of fixing something lol I’m sure you will get at least one working 😊
when it don't flash is the img. got to go to emuelect wiki and get the latest version flash the image but check each one till it boot and when it boot take sd card out and pass the roms and it will be done you may need a wired controller to configure it am a pro now fixing those boxes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@PhilipBryden Trust me i did all the don't and nothing happened first put the sd card and load all the roms to your pc second get a new card because the original one need a program to format get an sd card formatter from the internet( the sd card get lock) third download balena etcher fourth go to emuelect wiki get the img.(follow my step above)fith flash your new sd card with the new img.take it out and put it back then when it open it shows EEROMS open it and transfer the rom to where belong btw it takes like 4hrs. to completed when you done put it back and it will work but your way passing the roms i guess is safer but i didn't lost any. all that without opening the console. Good video BTW.
I don't think it will work, you need the dtb file which is specific to the specifications of your board. This is the very first time I have used an emulator like this, so I know how confusing it can be. It took me around 20 different tries until I found the correct one from the device tree folder.

I probably would have thrown in the towel once it became apparent it wasn't hardware, Nice work pushing on!

I need help because something happened to the console that deleted all the files as if it had been factory reset, can someone help me?

My new X pro goes straight to android ui? It doesnt seem to be reading my sd card. any tips?
All I can suggest is you try a different SD card and install the software from scratch like I did.
Great video again ❤❤
Thank you Froz 👍🏻
thank you so much for your time and detailed instructions...

Hello, which emuelec 3.9 did you install?
Yes. Emuelec 3.9. There is only one version I think.
I cant pass the powered by android boot up screen
It could be the SDcard is corrupt.
Hello there Are you repairing dose consoles?
I bought a SCXPro from a Cash Converter type store, all worked as normal, now when I try to save games the egg timer freezes at 0%, then I have to hard reset to go back to the system. As I can't save any progress, the system is useless to me, as I like RPGs etc... any ideas?😅
@@IainiaI perhaps part of the SD card is corrupt.
@@PhilipBryden it's a pain, I'd been after one for a while, just a shame I can't save anything. I tried to see if I could see the contents of the card on my laptop but it said I need to format it...
You have a lot of patience Phil good fix there mate, 😊
Great to meet you anyway, we’re those boards any good? If not I have loads more different ones

I found I could load the roms from my PC to the SuperX through my home network. It was easier and safer than removing the card.

Can you help me the sd card is corrupted
You could try CHKDSK command if you're using Windows. If it's a cheap SDCARD you might be better buying a new one.
@@PhilipBryden tried it .. but still didnt work.. SD is good but the files aint there no more
@@PeapieIpio try to recover the SD card or you'll lose any ROMS. I'm not too knowledgeable on the software side as you can tell from the video lol.
@@PhilipBryden i dont know if im asking to much.. but us there a way i can copy the file of your sd .. that wil be very helpful
