    If your device is currently not booting, and you've modified the bios folder in any way (e.g., patching a new boot logo, upgrading firmware, etc.), you can attempt to get the SF2000 booting again by creating empty text files inside the bios folder, one at a time (this creates new FAT entries, and should get you away from numbers of entries the stock bootloader doesn't like). For example, create an empty file in the bios folder called "temp1.txt", put the microSD card back in the SF2000, and see if it boots. If it still doesn't, add a "temp2.txt" file to the bios folder, put the card back in the SF2000 and try booting again, etc..

    • @nightsquats
      @nightsquats 10 місяців тому

      100%! When I save a game it's to play later not to find out it's frozen there and I have to start over. Mind you mine is fully stock (and it isn't my primary) but still... I'm at a point where - do I spend the time on the device or just favorite a bunch of "no save no worries" games. Still, I've already gotten enough fun out of it to justify the low cost and love it as a beater I can not worry about. If I knew then what I know now I'd still pick one up, I guess that is enough for me for now...

    • @DrBrute7
      @DrBrute7  9 місяців тому

      Thank you. Actually while I was testing I selected one or two themes that changed everything, it could be my mistake because I was making multiple notes of all the features of the software. But yes, the music was changing almost all the time. But it’s a very helpful all in one tool. Especially for changing the shortcut icons.

    • @jasongrieves
      @jasongrieves 9 місяців тому +1

      I didn't want to change boot logos because users might not have updated their bootloader so it is much more likely they will hit the bootloader bug. Theme data only changes files in the /Resource folder

    • @DrBrute7
      @DrBrute7  9 місяців тому

      I think it’s good that you didn’t. If by any chance you can do the same with the music then it would be great too. But it’s nothing to lose sleep over. That’s why I mentioned, for themes we can just pick & choose what we want according to our preferences. Thanks for all the great work! We really appreciate it. Hopefully more systems like this will be made available & we can get more awesome custom tools like this to tweak & modify these systems.

    I noticed on the latest versions we get new features from the early released model. My question is this. Is the boot loader bug still an issue? will Tadpole allow me to change the theme, boot logo, music, and favorites art on a newer version? Just trying to figure out what I need and can do with your tutorial in this video. Thanks

    • @DrBrute7
      @DrBrute7  9 місяців тому

      It’s still was an issue during the time of me making the review of the product & this tutorial. I don’t think much has changed. It’s better to go with the fix just to be on the safe side. And for changing the stuffs that you want to, just follow through, I have shown everything in details.

    So I have a question and you seem to me the man that might know so I was wondering can you change the sd card and have like a Samsung one and put the files on that. I tried to do this I reimaged the sd with everything but when I put the new sd card in the device it didn't work do you know how to do this. As I know the sd cards they normally use for these kind of devices always mess up with the save files for example don't save the game. Any ideas and thank you for this video so much help!

    • @DrBrute7
      @DrBrute7  10 місяців тому +1

      I haven’t tried it myself but from what I have come across, you need to make a clone of the sd card using a cloning software, then flash it on a new card. Let me see if I can get a spare sd then I can experiment it myself & make a video on it. As I have gotten the same question a couple of times regarding this.

      I haven’t heard of this anywhere. As per my personal experience I haven’t faced any issues with tadpole. Besides, the system files are nothing complicated for them to get damaged, neither the sdcard. If it’s specifically not working for you that’s a different issue. Unfortunately this is the only gui based software that is available. The other one doesn’t have all the features I have demonstrated through tadpole.
