Welcome to the MAD-ATV wiki! MAD-Banner

Which box should I buy?

  • Make sure whatever you buy has 2gb of ram!

  • The a95xf1 has had wide testing with no problems!

  • tx9s costs as much as a95xf1 but outperforms it with its faster cpu. Many people recommend this box now.

  • We have had a lot of good experience with the X96 mini until while back. The new model boards are unflashable. If you get yours from cec you are definitely safe. See FAQ #6 for more info.

  • The R95S s905x works well in 32bit but there is no 64bit

  • do not buy T95s1 boxes See the Device-list for more boxes.

Download ROM

We have worked on some mostly pre-configured ROMs for scanning with MAD. Here they are!
The first step is to download the right ROM for your box.
There are 32bit and 64bit ROMs. The 64bit rom is newer and is running well, but has no wifi. Eventually Niantic will stop supporting 32bit.
Click releases to find them.
use s905w download for x96mini, a95xf1, or other s905w CPU
usr s912 download for tx9s and maybe some other non lpddr boxes
use s905x download for R95S or other s905x CPU

Flashing instructions


I Recommend the USB burn tool but you have 2 options for windows and one for Linux/osX:

README

  • For instructions on setting up a box running 64bit rom use this 64bit README
  • For instructions on setting up a box running 32bit rom use this 32bit README
  • If you have issues, please see the FAQ
  • To learn about files you can use to customize the MAD rom, see this page
  • To learn about pimped ATV setups (relays, fans, power management, etc) see beavis' pimpmyatv repo

Helping improve README files

All of the READMEs were added to the git instead of the wiki so that you can submit PR's to make things better. If somebody has fixes or updates for the READMEs or wants to add pictures to them, please submit PRs. Also please help fill in the FAQ!
