Thanks for all your advices. I will test also oficial arkos rom.
Also I will follow your posts for new content 🙂
Good luck with your work!

Linux - Installed already ubuntu on a vm to learn more ans starting to like it. Planning also to find an old pc to have the real feeling 🙂

I understand - my mistake was ignoring copying the also the image file( kernel).

Motivated by your advices put the all the original boot partition files, because now i know (from shiped original sd card arkos 08232024 aeux) and everything is working wonderfull no issue at all with the latest arkos version (06302025-1) on the new sdcard.
So i understand that the os/root seems to be on that second partition that is hidden/ not recognised on windows maybe because ext4.

Another question please: It is safe to do this: all (boot partition) files from original arkos with a new arkos version? Because I am planning to do only like this when updating - keeping original boot files.

Also you where right with the first solution "remapping" and mixing boot files is messing things:
1) I think it was running hot, now the console runs cooler.
2) Also Fixed headphones - great adition - was thinking it was a "hardware issue in the jack" when pluging heatphones also the internal speaker was working.

Will need to test if charging works corectly ( if the red light will turn off when full).

I am still amazed how many things can do on this device. Now i can enjoy ported games/ running programs/ playing with terminal on such a litle pocket device.

Onestly - Thank you!

I was intrigued why original rom has no issues with the controls, but cannot run all portmaster games and latest arkos downloaded by me control was bad but portmaster works.
I am learning a lot with this little console, I just googled about dtb files - funny thing I used a cloud hosted ubuntu VM to recompile the files (also learning cloud) because I do not have a linux PC.
Now, solved it:
First solution: managed to implement workaround - remap in all emulators including the most important issue with portmaster - changing gamecontrollerdb.txt mappings and fixed everything in all portmaster games 🙂
Second solution: opened the console, on PCB Y3506_V03_20241210
- google it - downloaded boot.zip from first reddit post - replaced all boot files - working fine (except FN swapped with select, and led always on)
In the end stayed with first solution because already remapped all buttons, FN and select are ok and the led is off, but with the next update will use "Soy Sauce Console" boot files.
So lesson learned - replace all boot files not only dtb - the structure of those files (or the files/partitions) still remains a mystery for me, maybe you will detail the meaning of each one in another tutorial or here 🙂
Many thanks again, for all your help and tutorials 🙂 keep on the same work.

Just read all your tutorials and I found them the best from the internet till now, that is why i put my hope in helping me:
Right joystick swaped axis x with y:

R36s shiped with original rom arkos 2.0 08232024 aeux
Emulstation v2.13.0.0

Updated on a new card to latest version 06302025-1, could not boot, i can see boot screen corectly then completly blank."Fixed" this by replacint boot ini and all dtb files from original sd-08232024. All good working wonderfull except the joystics are swaped, left one appear as right in controller testing app, and the phisical right one appear as analog L.
The left one had inverted axis e.g. pres left shows right - fixed this by recompiling the dtb ->dts ( edited with notepad++)

But i do not know how to fix the right one - it has swaped axis x with y..( e.g. when i press left it goes up and when i press up it goes right)
How can i fix this please..tried for 2 days but i have no linux eperience.
