 +Like most other supported hardware platforms, you can just burn Batocera on a SDCard, and boot from there. 
 +If you boot your GTKing on Android, you will have a menu to select boot on SDcard at the next boot.

 The GT King/King Pro comes with an 8GB SD card. It is recommended to throw this out and buy a new SD card that's at least 16GB for use with Batocera, as that satisfies the minimum size requirements if you need to use the card itself for Batocera. It may not be required, depending on your box. It is possible to flash over the firmware from the old card to the new one if desired, but here we will be using CoreElec (for the GT King Pro) or EmuElec (shipped with the GT King). The GT King/King Pro comes with an 8GB SD card.
