The R3XS Community Image now supports multiple screen panels. To ensure your display works correctly, you can select the right panel using Panel Picker Mode.
🕹️ Entering Panel Picker Mode
To enter Panel Picker Mode, hold the correct button combination during boot:
Hold the Hotkey (R1) + one of the following buttons while powering on:
| R1 + Button | Panel # | Description |
|---|---|---|
| U | 1 | Panel 1 |
| R | 2 | Panel 2 |
| D | 3 | Panel 3 |
| L | 4 | Panel 4 |
| X | 5 | Panel 5 (Soy Sauce Console) |
| A | 0 | Original Panel (Stock) |
Once a valid combination is detected:
Once a valid combination is detected:
- The screen will display a logo.
- The system will turn the device off — you will need to boot it normally afterward with the selected configuration.
🔁 Changing the Panel Later
You can re-enter Panel Picker Mode at any time:
- Power off the device.
- Power it back on and hold R1 + your new panel button.
- Wait a few seconds for the system to apply the new panel and reboot.
Note: To disable Panel Picker Mode, hold R1 + Volume Down while powering on.
ℹ️ Tips
Caution
Do not enter Panel Picker Mode immediately on first boot.
The system performs its initial setup the first time it powers on, which can take up to 10 minutes.
Let this process complete before powering off or trying to change the panel.
Important
- Press the button early during boot, as soon as the device powers on.
- Only one button should be pressed along with R1.
- If no button is pressed, the system will boot with the previously saved panel configuration.
