Adding roms to SLIM image

[djalmafreestyler]

My guess is some network restriction on your side (firewall maybe),
I've just tried in win10 and it worked fine, don't try to add a network place with username and password , just type the IP with the \\ on the location address and press enter.

edit: some SFTP app, like Filezilla should work (will require username: pi and password: pi)

Thanks a lot. I was having problem connecting via windows explorer (win 10) to my orange pi IP.

I installed Filezilla, using SFTP protocol, port: empty, user and password: pi, now it''s working.

What ive managed to do in order to add roms is (and using windows 10 os)
1. download Paragon
2.mount the sd card
3.entering the roms @ home/pi/roms
4.adding roms

Yes, I'm adding an automatic script that will take care of it

Turn on RetrOrange Pi and once it booted press F4 to go into console.
Type command: wget http://retrorangepi.download/rc.local
Type command: sudo cp rc.local /etc
Type command: sudo shutdown
Follow n.3 above for the sdcard
Reinsert the SD card, power on the system and you should boot from eMMC and have all your roms on the SD card

What size of eMMC is ideal for retroorangepi on the retrostone?

[alexkidd]

What you mean? retrostone has no emmc , it's a feature present only in Plus models of Orange and Banana Pi boards

Hey,

win10 user here. Can't connect to it. Neither Explorer or Filezilla works. Filezilla tells me "ECONNREFUSED..."

[alexkidd]

filezilla requires username and password: both "pi" / port 22

Yepp, got that (read the whole thread). Sadly, not working. Now installing paragon. I actually have no clue what I am doing here and hope it works somehow.

Full version is just around the corner, so things are gonna get more straightforward soon. Anyway, there is a learning curve for linux operating systems :p hope people enjoy it

Good to hear AlexKidd... any guess as to the time-frame for "around the corner"?

I thought I'd roll up my sleeves today, find a USB keyboard & mouse, an ethernet cable, and get cracking on this SSH / Samba business for my Saturday project, but it seems like you are close to having a full OS in the coming days.  

From what it sounds, we will be able to more easily add emulators, ROMs, splashcreens, etc. with the new Full OS (or Slim Plus)?

Maybe I'll go tinker on my RasPad today instead.

Thanks again, mate, for all your hard work.

Cheers,

Bonjour, je tiens à dire que cela fut difficile tant les instructions évoluent et deviennent obselètes avec le temps, pour l'installation et la prise en main je n'ai eu aucun soucis.
Par contre, pour l'ajout des ROMS seul WinSCP fonctionne entièrement (sous Windows 10) de la j'ai pu ajouté les ROMS dans leurs dossier respectif mais entre les jeux de la PsP qui n'apparaissent pas et certains autres jeux nintendo ou NeoGeo qui ne veulent pas se lancer, me faisant retourner sur l'écran de menu en boucle. Comment lancer les jeux sans erreurs ? y a t-il une manipulation à faire après l'ajout des jeux (Analyse,Reboot) ? Les jeux PsP se lancent-ils comme les autres jeux ?

Pour ceux ayant du mal avec les ROMS j'ai procédé comme suit :
- Connecter le câble Ethernet entre la Retrostone "ON" et le PC
- Open WinSCP
- creer un nouveau site avec :
Host = name of console in the wifi setting (3rd line) ou RetrOrangePi
User= Pi
Password= Pi
- Connecter le site et vous verrez apparaître les fichiers de la console
