It's really particular getting the Opi One to work with anything so I'm leaving this mirror. It's the only thing that seems to work on it and work well it does. It's just that it's retropie 2.0 so you're missing some of the features. As for good? It absolutely rocks aside from the fact that no matter what I do I can't make the splash screen be the game over message from Sega Rally.

we noticed quite a few boot failures in 2.5.2. Most of the times it's related to bad power supplies, so you should try a more reliable one. Anyway, we also saw Armbian team, in their changelog for 5.22 (RetrOrange has 5.20), stated that "booting problems fixed on more boards". It's very unusual as we have owners of all boards succeeding in booting up their boards too.

how i burn the orange pi pc img on sd?

the extention is gz... and i worked with img

alerino · Published in 2016-7-14 04:53:13

you have to uncompress the file before burning. Extension image is now .raw, if you have any trouble, rename .raw to .img

Just a quick note....

I had a lot of trouble with the OPI-One image not booting.
Was going to wait for 3 new cards to arrive, but decided to try the OPI-PC image, being that the script and uImage files normally work for Linux distros.
It WORKS !
No configuration changes needed, RetrOrange booted fine, reset itself, re-booted and that was that, a working RetrOrange system. It even loads up the Armbian desktop fine.
So, if anyone has been having such troubles, you now know what to do

Thanks team for continuing the development of RetrOrange.
I know this forum doesn't get much traction, but noobs such as myself might view this topic.
