Opencortex Installation Guide

Really interesting! I’d never have the confidence to do it, but I appreciate seeing the inside of it; I love the Shelley quote and the big “DO NOT REMOVE” sticker that you could only see if you already did it. 😁

[@jaza69]

You’re not to remove the sticker itself as its purpose is to prevent shorting the components by the aluminum cover.

Please note that modifying the files on your SD card voids your warranty, and any issues that occur directly or indirectly because of these modifications will not be covered by the warranty.

[@GuitarStuffChannel]

Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated.

[@its_lucos]

@NeuralDSP Would you ever consider giving us the power to do so?

[@br0k3nnerd]

So, why you didn’t use nand instead of sdcard? And what I need to do if sdcard stops working?

[@andyrose724]

Does the fact that there's been a couple of updates bear any relevance as to the shadow file being replaced?

[@GuitarStuffChannel]

I really don't know. Check out the discord server for opencortex, some very knowledgeable people in there.

[@SteveDavidsonGuitar]

Can you confirm how much of the SD card's capacity is utilised? Wondering if scope for accessing/triggering pre-saved loops/backing tracks should they open it up via Looper/new blocks etc.

[@GuitarStuffChannel]

I don't know, but it's very unlikely. If you want to do some research and ask experts join the discord server.

[@stephanerioux6592]

can we only replace the ModelRepo file and skip the shadow file and ssh ?

[@GuitarStuffChannel]

Yes, but you have to copy it when the sd card is mounted on your computer. Check the github pages for full instructions.

@@GuitarStuffChannel Unfortunately i'm afraid that, with the latest version of CorOS (3.0.1), the ModelRepo.xml file seems to be encrypted or have an unknown encoding format. I tried to open the file on Linux and Windows and it failed (i can only see a bunch of "chinese" characters). As I'm not able to read the original file on my Quad Cortex, i feel unsafe to replace this file with the one from GitHub. Any one with CorOS 3.0.1 successfully replaced the ModelRepo.xml file ??

[@Road370]

Does it change the name of the amp/ effects on the desktop editor ?

[@GuitarStuffChannel]

I haven't tried it, but I don't think so.

[@ThomySTB]

yes

[@HAMBUUK]

Is your sandisk sd card is original? Mine was transcend one

[@GuitarStuffChannel]

Yes, the sandisk card was original.

[@oricardoguitarrista]

What is the SD Card model?

[@GuitarStuffChannel]

It’s this one amzn.to/3QGki0S

[@oricardoguitarrista]

@@GuitarStuffChannel Thanks !!!

[@VisualzbyJ]

Doesn't seem worth it to "hack" it just to have model names.

[@GuitarStuffChannel]

Fair point. I think I did it as more of a challenge than because I really needed to. Although I do hate the fake names for things - helix is the worst for it, I can never remember them all.
