351ELEC VS AmberELEC-prerelease

The files are posted here: https://github.com/351ELEC/351ELEC/releases/tag/20211122

351elec and arkos are still actively updated. Whenever an emulator is discovered that is capable of running on these devices they add it. There just simply isn't very many stand alone emulators because it's difficult to configure them to run on these devices.

The stock OS is very buggy. Switch to JELOS or 351ELEC instead.

Oh, sorry, did not try that yet. But I am interested and found this on how to place it in ports and this which makes it seem a little difficult to make it work. Hope this helps anyway.

First of all, you should REALLY look into installing a custom firmware. The one it comes with is terrible (both for UI and actual game performance). But also the SD card it ships with WILL corrupt. My suggestion would be to buy a sandisk 64GB card and install the 351ELEC software. Russel from RetroGameCorps on Youtube has tutorials, it's pretty easy even if you've never done it before.

build implies creating a flashable image from source code. Reference https://github.com/351ELEC/351ELEC for build instructions. Since the build instructions are made for Ubuntu 20.04, you may have troubles getting it functional.

Make sure you're on the newest PRE-release of AmberElec (https://github.com/AmberELEC/AmberELEC-prerelease/releases/) as this helped me with Quake 3 issues, might have helped with this.

I'm using thelatest AmberElec pre-release build. I started with the Pineapple build you're using and if I recall correctly, they went from beta releases to pre-release builds. And you had to update to the beta build before it would provide an option for the pre-release build download. You can skip all that by simply downloading the lates pre-release and putting it in the proper folder on the device and then manually updating. It will do the rest for you. But, I warn you, it will still freeze up from time to time when waking from sleep.

I highly highly recommend using Amber Elec for the Linux side of things and Black-Seraphs AOSP Android 9.0 upgrade build, I had similar issues when I got the device right off hand but after flashing android 9 to the device and flashing the sd card with Amber Elec, it works beautiful plus there's new features you didn't have before. I also recommend upgrading your SD to a SanDisk ultra or better. link for amberELEC AmberELEC is prerelease rn so it's in Alpha, there are other Linux build you can get if you don't want an alpha program but here are the instructions And lastly here's the link/instructions for the Black-Sereph android build, you do have to become a member of his Patreon but after you get the files you can end the sub if you choose to do so, but its only 10 bucks and you get access to his full catalog of software so it is worth it. Best of luck it is a tedious thing but it will definitely improve if you do this there are some YouTube videos that use these same softwares too so you can walkthrough on there if you get confused. Cheers!

While I am not positive it will help your problem you might want to look into updating to AmberElec pre-release. I know they've updated various kernels and I vaguely recall there being some file permissions adjustments made at some point. you could robably look through the version changelogs and see but it's totally worth updating to the new version.
