I do not know how to connect Tiny cloud

I felt like I tried work but I still can not connect. I put data directly into micro SD, but because I did not recognize the data, I am ready. A wish for a pathetic Japanese who can not speak English helps.

How to add games to gameshell

I don’t know how to add games new to this type of stuff since I just received my gameshell.

basically, connect wifi first, GS only support WPA2 encrypted wifi network
then open tiny cloud
hopefully you have some exp about linux ,ssh ,that will help you understand GS better

Use windows explorer or samba under linux to copy and paste games to the game folder
like MGBA,MAME,NESTOPIA from default

big advise to go to settings → Update to update the Launcher first ,since shippment started
a lot changed by a lot members of this community

currently
MGBA supports with these gb,gbc,gba,gbx extensions of roms
MAME is zip
NESTOPIA is zip,nes

Thanks I was able to spend some games, the problem is that I configure bad RetroArch and now I can not do anything.

Same but there are some helpful tutorials here. I recommend @nouty and @DisruptItYourself

Post 2 of the RetroArch Megathread above gives you instructions on how to replace the config file to restore the setting to default.

How to add new emulators (Gameboy, SNES, etc.)

Hi there, because of my lacking experience with SSH, Linux, and much more, I was able to get emulators working by several snippets of guidance of you guys here at the forums.
