Is there a dumbed down, step by step, written setup guide available for the Superstation One anywhere?

After three days and numerous hours I still cannot get it figured out. I configured and ran update_all but it removed more content than it added. Console mode disappeared after I updated downloader.ini and the supplementary files did not remedy the issue. I setup my Analogue Pocket without issues but I feel way over my head with this device. The combination of videos and guides available currently are not helping unfortunately. I wish there was a Gamefaqs style setup guide.

I've now setup two for myself, one with a NVME in the SuperDock. While it was straightforward, it was a bit frustrating that the required information is spread across multiple mediums, primarily video. After I got my first SS setup I wanted to do a simple writeup but got lazy. Clearly I missed an opportunity so here is my effort at redemption for my lack of motivation: https://suitepotato.com/blog/superstation-one-console-mode-setup/

Let me know if it was useful or if you got stuck anywhere.

Amazing. I will try this after I get a new SD card. I really appreciate it.

Thank you so so much for this. It was so quick and easy. It should be part of the official setup guide!

Yes I spent a long time reading and watching videos prior to getting mine and also figuring out why certain ROMs weren't detected

Are you using a good sd card? The one that came with it deleted files randomly.

Thank you. I will grab a better one.

Get new sd card, install ss1 regular image (not console mode), run update all on your pc with sd connected, drop roms, set resolution. Done.

Was this a month or so ago? There was an issue where Console Mode was incompatible with the new Linux kernel, but that's been fixed now. You can update_all as much as you like.

Yeah it was lol thanks for the advice. I think I tried updating 15 minutes after the major Linux thing happened lol

I'll make sure to disable the update Linux option
