Edit config.txt or cmdline.txt
The
config.txt or cmdline.txt is found on piCorePlayer’s boot partition, which normally is /mnt/mmcblk0p1—see The config.txt file or The kernel command line.
Warning
The boot partition is unmounted by default. So to edit config.txt or cmdline.txt, you must first mount the boot partition, then edit using vi.
Warning
You must reboot piCorePlayer after changing config.txt or cmdline.txt to activate changes.
