## About JELOS
### Does JELOS offer any formal support?
No. JELOS is something that we develop for fun, it is provided as-is. There are a variety of avenues to seek community help, but this is a tinkerer's distribution so you will need to get your hands dirty to solve your problems.

### Do you plan to add additional ports, software, or emulators?
We are a community developed distribution, and we believe that it is the responsibility of the person who wants a new feature to develop and contribute that feature. If you would like to add something to JELOS, pull requests are welcomed. Please review our [code of conduct](contribute/code-of-conduct.md), our [contributing guidelines](contribute/index.md), and our [build guide](contribute/build.md) before submitting your first pull request.

First make sure you do not have a TDP configured that is too low for your emulator to function correctly.

JELOS does not create an ExFAT partition on the boot device, and expands the full partition using ext4. You can sync files to the device using SyncThing, copy files to the device using SAMBA, or by loading your files onto a EXT4, ExFAT, or FAT32 formatted usb stick and copy them with FileMan or over ssh.
* Windows Users can connect to their device by unc path using the device name such as `\\handheld` or by IP `\\device IP address` into the address bar in Windows Explorer.
* Mac users can connect by selecting "Go" from the Finder menu, followed by "Connect to Server", then enter `smb://handheld` or `smb://device IP address`.
* Log in as root. The root password is required for access which can be found in the system menu.
