Hi gameski,
Thank you for your report.
Unfortunately this page was not up to date and stayed at a wip state...
I din't think the link would be published, my bad!
I just updated it.
The actual version works for both 5.22 / 5.23
That would be great if you can test it on your hw so that we can add your GT740m of Dell Vostro 5470 to the tested list
With enough feedback we may can add it in next batocera's version
