amlogic-s9xxx-armbian VS AnberPorts

Or here :) Though the display doesn't work yet (which doesn't matter to me as I run it headless anyway) by trying boot images until one worked it helped me run a linux server on a s905x3 box... I'd say the performance is very comparable to a rpi 4 https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian

Install a local DNS app, eg: Pihole. This pihole can be installed on devices such as a Raspberry Pi or any SBC that can run Linux OS, or an android box that has Armbian OS firmware installed..

I'm using amlogic (s905x) based tv box (HG680P) and flash armbian build by ophub and just simply run it headless. The best thing is you can use it's internal emmc to run everything.

Regarding the other TV boxes supporting Linux, they support it and can run it very well, because they share a similar design to Odroids and Banana Pi. And the chip makers have made the driver open source. Even doing that much, the port is still limited to a few devices. https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian

A link to an on-going project with armbian images for android tv boxes is here https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian, with a listing of compatible devices.

If it's for home server use then I recommend that you go with TV Boxes instead. They are superior in every aspect in terms of performance and cost. Two most popular TV Boxes that supports linux installation and that is available in Nepal right now is TX3 Mini and HK1 Box. Follow this tutorial https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian to install linux on it.

My advice would be to buy this TV Box and install Linux on it by following instructions through this Github repo . It's super easy to install and works solid as a small powerful home server.

Go to https://github.com/krishenriksen/AnberPorts and then click "Code" and then "Download zip"

Sorry, I didn't remember you need the Half-Life zip from AnberPorts. The rest should be in that guide.

I'm on an RG351V which has it's own issues but if it is any help, although it is discontinued, I got it working with Anberports. The end result is essentially the same AFAIK. I can tell you that you need the port app to generate those directories for you. There are some libraries for arm64 that are added. Or at least mine did. It seemed very picky about the order in how things were done. An it didn't really line up with the directions exactly. I think this post was one that helped me. Even then I had to do a thing to rotate the screen. Then fix the greyed out menus items. And even then I couldn't get the controls configured right because, you know... only one analog stick. So I got a wireless microkeyboard which runs it great. Anyhoo. Hope any of this helps.

The setup script is in Anberports

There is a port of AM2R available on the Anberbic RG351 P, M, and MP series of handhelds. Performance varies in my experience, and there can be some slow-down with the game on this chipset. May require custom firmware (I booted the stock firmware zero times before switching to a custom firmware). I used a tool called Anberports to get AM2R 1.1 installed and running at the time.

4) Follow the guide on this wiki page to figure out what goes where: https://github.com/krishenriksen/AnberPorts/wiki/Ports

On top of that, there is also Anberports: https://github.com/krishenriksen/AnberPorts

Have you even read Anberports' documentation? On Arkos you just need to copy stuff inside "ports" folder, tho

Just telling you now, blood requires a lot of files, if you don’t know what files to move into the rg351, check this https://github.com/krishenriksen/AnberPorts/wiki/Ports It tells you the games coming, and the games ported with their require files.
