New to Kobo-trying to get 8bitdo remote and other features in NM

Hi all,

I am ready to tear my hair out with this! This is my first time playing with any sort of coding and in hindsight I should have picked something easier than a brand new Kobo


I had just installed NM and got the menu up, plugged my kobo back in so I could sideload with Calibre and then accidentally unplugged it without calibre job being done or ejecting properly. I plugged it back in and the config was gone (and NM gave me a Config Error) so I did a factory reset and the NM error is still there I also no longer have a copy of the config that had initially worked.

So I'm piecing together what I can remember and adding some new stuff I found along the way.

parse config files: file /mnt/onboard/.adds/nm/icon.png: line1: field 1: unknown type '[blank square]PNG' (src/config.c:327) (src/config.c:936)


code:
Code:
menu_item :main     :Kernel Version     :cmd_output         :500:uname -a
menu_item :main     :Send to Kobo       :nickel_browser :modal :https://send.djazz.se
menu_item :main     :Screensaver toggle :cmd_output :500 :quiet :test -e /mnt/onboard/.kobo/screensaver_old
     chain_failure  :skip :3
     chain_success  :cmd_spawn :quiet :mv /mnt/onboard/.kobo/screensaver_old /mnt/onboard/.kobo/screensaver
     chain_success  :dbg_toast :Wallpaper Mode
     chain_always   :skip :-1
     chain_failure  :cmd_spawn :quiet :mv /mnt/onboard/.kobo/screensaver /mnt/onboard/.kobo/screensaver_old
     chain_success  :dbg_toast :Cover Art Mode
menu_item :main     :Sketch Pad         :nickel_extras      :sketch_pad
menu_item :main     :Solitaire          :nickel_extras :solitaire
menu_item :main     :Sudoku             :nickel_extras :sudoku
menu_item :main     :Dark Mode          :nickel_setting :toggle :dark_mode
menu_item :main     :USB Connection     :nickel_misc :force_usb_connection  
menu_item :main     :Sleep              :power :sleep
menu_item :main     :Shutdown           :power :shutdown
menu_item :main     :Reboot             :power :reboot

menu_item :reader :Reading Stats :nickel_open :reading_life :stats

menu_item :reader :Sleep :power :sleep

The features I'm trying to enable:
-wake/sleep Kobo using 8bitdo Micro
-turn pages using 8bitdo
-see clock while reading
-play solitaire and sudoku
-change the nickelmenu icon and name
-change screensaver when 'sleeping'

is someone with more experience willing to give insight?
any help would be appreciated!
