Hi all, I’m stuggling a bit with this one. I’m trying to get Batocera on to my old Linx 7 Tablet, it’s been sat in a draw since I brought it in 2014/2015, it was one of those purchases of “oh shiny new, this is cool a 7” Windows Tablet" but truth be told it’s was utter crap for Windows 8, I uprgraded it to Windows 10 and it’s still crap lol
So as part of my insomnia last night I thought, why not put Batocera on it and see how some of the older games run, I’m not expecting it to run a lot, hopefully up to SNES, I want to see but, I have this issue;
After disabling Secure Boot I managed to get it to boot from a USB stick with Batocera on, woohoo :)
But I get this error;
Failed to load com32 file menu.c32
and gives me a Boot command prompt
No I know the Linx 7 had Windows 8 32BIT installed, however the processor is 64bit and I have seen people running and installing Ubuntu 64bit, so I know it works, the file “bootia32.efi” just need replacing with a copy from the net, so even with that done, I am running in to the same problem as mentioned above.
I was thinking it was a problem with the tablet but I have since manage to Boot Ubuntu on a Live USB stick and all is good, so is there a solution to this. I have Googled and Googled and tried a few things but not being very experienced with Linux I’m really not sure what I am doing.
I’ve tried loading the linux kernel and by typing ‘linux’ but I’m not getting anywhere, I’ve got a feeling it might be to so with not being able to mount the internal emmc as it doesn’t say the usual SDA but rather HD0 etc…. Like I said I’m very much a n00b when it comes to Linux.
Hopeing for some help of someone who might be able to solve the issue for me.
Through my Googleing I read a few things about menu.c32 and I have tried replacing it with one from Ubuntu but it then comes up with a Grub prompt but very few of the commands work, but I’m guessing this is down the ‘striped down’ version of Linux Batocera uses.
Anyway, hoping someone cna offer some advice, if anyone has an ideas I’m very happy to hear them. Cheers.
