Connecting to LDK Game

This procedure describes how to talk to your LDK Game device.

Connecting to your computer

• This will work with Windows 10 and most modern Linux systems
• Connect LDK Game to computer directly via the supplied (or similar) data-capable USB-A to MicroUSB cable. ** Connecting via a USB hub will cause this to fail**.
• If this fails, try a different cable.
• If your Telnet session fails, you can hit CTRL + ] and type in quit, to exit it.

communicate via telnet

This will only work if your device is actually connected.

• telnet 169.251.1.1
• User: root
• Password: (no password required)

communicate via FTP

This will only work if your device is actually connected.

• ftp 169.251.1.1
• User: root
• Password: (no password required)

General notes:

• If your LDK Game display times out, you can still FTP or telnet to it if the device is connected and powered on.
• You MUST execute any program that requires SDL via the launcher g2menux, as it will need to release control, else your app will not show and/or play sound.
• All files we interact with will be stored here:

/home/retrofw/games/<game-name>
E.g.
/home/retrofw/games/modite-adventure
