The 40-MS801A-MAC2HG is an Android Smart TV mainboard often found in Starway and regional sets, requiring specific .pkg or MstarUpgrade.bin files to resolve boot loops, app incompatibility, or system corruption. Firmware updates for this 512MB RAM/4GB Flash board are typically installed via USB using a FAT32-formatted drive to reinstall or upgrade the system. Locate specific firmware files through technician resources like Software-Eshop or by requesting them in communities such as Firmware for LED TV .
EmulationStation provides an interface that is usable with any 4-button controller, set up from within the program itself.
* Emulators themselves must be configured separately...for now.
EmulationStation includes a custom theming system that gives you control over how each screen looks on a per-system basis, from the system select screen to the game list.
