For version 1.3 and up there is no need to uncompress it first.
You can find and change gamepad and other settings related to m8c or i3 in the /boot partition in a folder called "m8c-settings"
❗❗❗If you experience latency after starting your device. Put it in standby mode by pressing the power button and wake it up again. Your device will appear unresponsive for a couple of seconds, but after a short wait it should work fine.❗❗❗
Controls:
D-pad = Navigation
B = Edit
A = Options
Y or L2 = Shift
X or R2 = Play
R3 + Up or Down = Brightness Up or Down
FN + Select = Shutdown
If you get nothing but a black screen after booting, copy the rk3326-r35s-linux.dtb file from the original sd-card's /boot partition that came with your device. Then replace/rename it to rk3326-r36s-linux.dtb in the /boot partition of you fresh Arkm8c sd-card.
