THX-1138 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Patience. There's probably a big cumulative update of the OS, Firmware etc. Mine has been boxed for a month or so because of a house move, it needed to do some big updates. It takes a while, just let it do what it needs to do, its worth the wait. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeatari1 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Yeah man, give it time. It'll update, eventually. Tons of fun to be had but the updates can take a while. I am using my VCS primarily for streaming right now but it will eventually go into my home theater room and be used more for games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can put it on a flash drive and it pretty much runs as intended on a VCS, once you disable secureboot. How to disable secureboot depends on if your unit accepts the well-known BIOS password or not. If it does, just turn off secureboot and you can boot anything you like. If it doesn't, then you need to downgrade the OS+bios, which forces it to set the password, then it will upgrade to the latest with the correct password. Instructions on how to do this can be found in this thread: post #18, steps 1-4 talk about flashing the bios and getting Batocera to work.

Very nervous about fooling with the bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BIOS downgrade process? I think you just put it on a flash drive, then boot the VCS with that flashdrive plugged in and follow the directions.
