Before your VIM1 can play retro games, you’ll need to install Lakka OS into the EMMC. Head over to https://docs.khadas.com/vim1/FirmwareThirdparty.html and click the download link for Lakka-S905-arm-2.1-emmc.

This link to download the img is dead.
Can you upload it somewhere? I want give it a try.

Oh I see, yes the MediaFire archive has gone missing. I’ll see what I can do about it tomorrow,

I am only a casual, occasional gamer.
I have no emulator game ROMS.
I have only a simple cheap Bluetooth game controller.
I do have a VIM1.
If you get desperate for testers, I will give it a go.:grin:

Private message me if you run out of options.:laughing:
