    how to multiboot?

    hi guys,

    just getting into this box, loving it so far.

    i want to try a few images, so i have VIX - installed via USB.

    how do i get other images into the other 3 partitions - and how would you pick which one afterwards?

    when i download other images as ZIP files, do i put them on a stick and insert and do something within the VIX image settings somewhere...?

    help would be appreciated.

    If you want to try OpenPli or OpenATV then as per normal for online flashing ...
    Blue Button /VIX/ ImageManager/ Download(yellow button) —-> choose OpenPli/OpenATV in download feeds -> select your image, then download
    Once downloaded, select in list and hit flash(blue) button -> once flashed will reboot to new image

    From either image long press power Button to get multibboot restart menu

    Being on lockdown and bored I tried the different images openPli and OpenATV. I cant see an advantage to these images over VIX, I much prefer the simplicity of VIX. How do I delete these images? Thanks.

    You can either flash over them or go to ViX plugin and multibootmanager - and delete the slot contents

    I agree, i remember trying openpli and ATV a few years back. It was awful i cant see why people would choose these images over openvix

    Because users often stick with their 1st image and then never look beyond ......... and like so many decisions, you read information that supports that view and disregard information that doesn‘t support your decision.

    Some images are very good on their forums at expressing their weakness as a positive e.g other images coding is crap or they have tweaks to the image to make the image work, whereas „we“ being „pure“ wait on manufacturers to fix their drivers

    Of course I am joking no image developers would act like this!
