Weird, one file wont copy, I have permissions but its saying can't copy special file. Its called "console" looks like a word file, its 0 bytes. Prob nothing at all but whats a bet it wont work without. Im going to attempt a clone of the game card then gonna put it in my arcade and watch it catch on fire. Update soon: Tea ready :p

Not yet, Im still making a back up. Its 3 partitions and im having to change ownership of EVERY folder individually before I can copy them. 70% there

HAHAHAHA Man am I pleased, to my massive relief and much unnecessary software I discovered that the cheap Chinese SD card reader I was using just so happened to crap out. Guess it didn't like the Chinese SD card hahaha how ironic. Ok so im back in action, have changed the config file and am starting the back up OH YEAH!!!

Na I made a backup of the game list and then as I was editing it I thought of making a backup of the whole SD card then it all disappeared. I might have to copy the other game board SD card over to that SD then try editing a third card. That whole  "sudo chmod -R 777"  command is bad but I found anther command that only makes me the access rights instead of the card being completely accessible by anyone. Does anyone know why it has disappeared though?

I managed t gain access to permissions, edited game list: Tried adding donkey kong. Then saved cofig file. Next thing sd card disappeared and wont show up again. I used sudo chmod -R 777  which im finding out is BAD!SD wont work in game board either now. It shows the crap and says happy family or whatever but then goes to coloured screen. I can still access dip settings but cant load frontend. Damn it

How do I do that? lol

I don't have permissions on the SD cards in Ubuntu to copy, edit or even open some files. Trying to gain permissions. Would help if I wasn't such a noob

Ok so ive opeed the other partitions with a Linux opener program and I can see all the roms and the mame programe ect ect. Im waiting for a 750g HDD to arrive then Ill partition it to have Linux os on it, so I can copy ect. Im first going to try duplicate one of the SD cards and see if it works. If successful I will try adding a game like defender from one sd to my new experimental SD card. Problemis I will have to find where all the list directories is kept to add it to the ffront end. Its a wee bit confusing. Total gig of space one SD card is about 1.2gb. If I were to upload it maybe someone could find out how it works? Anyways keep you posted

I wonder if this program would work on the Chinese boards: http://www.phoenixarcade.com/ArcadeSD.htm

Hey sorry took so long to reply. They both work with either SD card. Meaning there must be a way to combine all the good games onto one SD card. Ill start look into linux

Hey thanks this sounds great. So ive never used or seen Linux. Ill watch some tutorials on youtube and get my head around it then go about duplicating an SD card. What would be of my first interest is if I could plug a 355 in 1 SD into a 138 in 1 board or vice versa. Then go about hacking and adding/removing games

12
Hmm ok thank you. So do you know a program or should stop being a noob and learn to use Linux once and for all?

Hi im also interested in hacking these boards. I have a 355 in 1 and 138 in 1. Have you noticed (and this might be a noob comment) that the SD cad is a 4gig but in windows its 50mb? Also I have copied the exact files from game board sd card to anther SD card and game board failed to boot. Any luck with youre attempts at hacking?
Thanks
