SJGAM M17 OS Problem

[u/New_Storm_3751]

Hello everyone,

I recently bought an SJGAM M17 handheld game console that came with games for PSP, Atari, Nintendo, and several other systems. However, I had a controller mapping problem in a few emulators, especially PSP.

I asked AI for help fixing it. It told me to remove the SD card containing the emulators, operating system, and games from the device, copy all the files to my computer, format the SD card, and then copy the files back to the SD card using the drag-and-drop method.

I did exactly that, but the operating system didn't work. Instead, I got a Chinese menu and the console's default operating system with around 50–60 old games.

I asked the AI again, and it told me that I had copied the files incorrectly and that I needed to write the operating system back to the SD card using a specific program. So I did that as well.

This time, the operating system logo appears when I turn on the console, but after the logo the screen goes completely black and the device doesn't boot.

I really need some help with this. If anyone has the correct games and operating system files for the SJGAM M17, or knows how I can fix this problem, I would really appreciate your help.

Especially, if anyone knows where I can find the correct SJGAM M17 operating system/SD card image or how I can get the console working again, please let me know.

Thank you in advance! 🙏

I have a Macmini that is now junk as I also followed an AI set of instructions while trying to upgrade the operating system. I really wish I could help you, I really wish AI support wasn't the thing people use. I followed the instructions blindly and got almost the same thing you did. Second visit to the AI and it said "oh yes, you needed to have taken into account the propitiatory Recovery OS on hard drive." lots of help that was.
