  1. GitHub Repositories: Search for "X6 handheld firmware." Developer steward-fu has documented the F1C100s series extensively.
  2. Dingoonity Forums: The Handhelds / Generic section has pinned threads with firmware links.
  3. The Retro Handhelds Discord: Look in the #chinese-handhelds channel.
  4. Baidu Cloud (with a translator): The original Chinese vendors release updates on Baidu, but you need a VPN.
