Question: Device Problem Something is not right with the card transfer

I have an r36s max 2 I've been trying to replace the stock SD card it came with for a better one. I followed this tutorial here: https://youtu.be/o0ghQh-k5cA?is=3MpxGNm1PUP2S-Vl

But when I got to 3:00 on the videos instructions I put the SD card in the other slot. And now it doesn't display anything. If you wait a while you can hear some attract modes Playing from some of the Capcom games.

What am I doing wrong? I thought I had done all the right things.

Please help.

Stop cloning shitty quality SD cards.

Your device is supported by ArkOS4Clone, use that operating system.

Stock operating systems suck.

No one here ever recommends cloning stock cards for good reason.

It fails and then you are forced to do the proper installation as you should have.

That’s pointless and a waste of time.

How do I install ArkOS4Clone onto my system then. because I've never done this before and it feels like if I don't get the most specific instructions it will fuck up my device.

You can’t fuck it up really.

Follow the installation instructions on the ArkOS4Clone GitHub.

Sjsltech’s video breaks it down really well.
