recalbox.conf read only [SOLVED]

Post by Fredl » Thu Aug 31, 2017 12:37 pm

Hi I'm having trouble editing the recalbox.conf, because it is read only...

The manual says a folder should pop up in the windows network section, which it doesn't....

So I'm trying to do it manually on my other system under UBUNTU! But I can't edit it because it is write protected.....
Any help appreciated..! Thanks!

Nevermind, I got it. For anyone with the same problem:

1. Start Recalbox with USB keyboard.
2. Press F4 (Exit Recalbox)
3. Press Alt + F2 (Start Terminal)
4. Login: root, Password: recalboxroot
5. Enter vi recalbox.conf
6. Edit the file

Beware that the keyboard layout is english and that vi is a pain in the ass for noobs
Cheers!
