EmuELEC-ne is under development

Diegrosan has compiled a working EmuELEC-ne image. The code will be shared soon for testing.
have posted a video in Portuguese on You Tube showing the installation and tests I did with S905W2, S905Y4 and S905X4! It worked! This is the link to the video: https://youtu.be/utBgVmSO0pk?si=Qh9Ugp_pTmU_2TAI

Diegro has just compiled the image and made it available on github for testing. Here it is: Release EmuELEC-NE 4.8 (Teste) UNOFFICIAL Supported SoCs: A311D2, S905W2, S905X4, S905Y4 · Diegrosan/EmuELEC4.8teste · GitHub

As for the dtb, it can be obtained in the CoreELEC image. Go to Downloads/21.2-Omega/New Installation/Select Your Device/Ugoos SK1 and download the CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.aarch64-21.2-Omega-Generic.img.gz image.

Then, with 7ZIP, extract the device_trees folder and there you will find the dtb: s5_s928x_ugoos_sk1_8g.dtb

If you test it, please let me know here if it worked!

I used a translator!

The image does not seem to work with the s928 dtb.img from coreelec.
The boot halts at boot step mount_flash with error mounting /flash. Even the key board did not work which might indicate an incompatibility with the dtb (?) so cannot get any logs off the device.

So I replaced the kernel with of coreelec with same dtb the system proceeds to boot resizing partitions doing a reboot,mounting and starting the services but eventually fails to start emuelec with text mode was able to get to console but trying to start emulec did not work. With textmode removed from config I end up with a blank screen. :frowning:

Let me know if you need any information that might be helpful.

I’m a layman, I’m just reporting on the compilation. The developer of this project is Diegrosan, from git-hub where the image is hosted! Have you tried using the Khadas VIM4 image?

Thanks will give it a try have sent Diegrosan a friend request on discord and will dropped links to my attempts on github.

That’s great, I hope it can help you and that you can get a working EmuELEC-ne for your Ugoos! That would be fantastic!

And according to akp, S928X worked: Emuelec for Ugoos SK1 - #3 by josemarprete

Thank you for your sharing videos and your knowledge. I have tested Amlogic-no.aarch64 4.7-Piers_Test_Devel 20250527010315 on a H96 Max W2 (S905W2) tv box, and it works well. Except, the PPSSPP emulator sometimes does not respond, so I switched to the libretro PSP emulator.

Hi, i’m glad you managed to get it working. I’ve published several videos on YouTube showing it working on various TV boxes with S905W2 and S905Y4. The standalone PPSSPP really doesn’t work, I show that in the videos. I even published a video with standalone PPSSPP on the Aquário TV Box (W2) to help those who want to use the standalone version. The screenscraper also doesn’t work. It’s a shame they released version 4.8 yesterday and didn’t include a NE or NO version for these TV boxes!
