RetrorangePi 3.0.1 on Orange Pi Zero

axisbold

Hello members,
I'd like to ask help or hint regading to my problem, as can't run RetrorangePi on my OPi Zero + Expansion board.

I burn the official 3.0.1 image to SD, then power up OPi Zero, but its stop at this screen:

finally I had launched retro engine, but after a power off/on and automatic login, can go further from console:


Is this normal? If yes, is there a command to start rerto engine?

Hi,

Orange Pi Zero (1st release/version as i know) + expansion board.

OK, thanks.
Your board should be able to run the 3.0.1 version, slim or full.

Could you launch RetrOrangePI (ROPI) without the expansion board? It could be an power issue: see here. There I found this: "... Q: My board does not boot or all I got is a black screen:
A: Things to try: reformat SD card with Panasonic SD formatter => reflash image with DD(linux) or Win32diskimager (windows) => change power supply (most likely!!!!!) ..."

Have you tried another µSD card?

thanks for tips.

unfortunately, cant lunch without the expansion board, I've only equipment for 3,5 jack video output.
yes I tried another SD with same result

now with nokia wall changer and I've formatted with Panasonic SD formatter and re-flashed with Win32diskimager, currently works properly, although now I shut it down correctly and not just pull out the power... it make sense I guess but not sure

as cant transfer game roms via wifi/home network, I need to know how can I make it via usb flash drive.

could you maybe help?
