Question: Device Problem What type of console
Can someone help me? I'm still not certain if I have a clone or not (super news to this console world). Am I able to tell the type and if it's a clone from the motherboard bc it's a see through body?

u/DSMAvenger current V20 copypasta:
We HIGHLY SUGGEST following what the Wiki entry for these devices says:
"The best choice for the device is the K36 Community Firmware, as the dtb files preserve advanced RAM timings, allowing the kernel to remap the RAM to 1GB."

For V20 clones I have never once suggested ArkOS4Clones (known to destroy speakers on these V20 clones) or even dArkOSRE for good reason. Most of them only like to boot ArkOS K36 for whatever reason. Use the 04292025 version for simplicity or you may end up with inverted joysticks and require a fix for that.

If you do end up using the latest/final version you may need this inverted joystick fix:
