tried that too right now and also a brick
Thanks for the advice. I will test this later and report back.Random thought. The likely reason that it doesn't work is because the nand is at mmcblk2. So, in uEnv.txt change "boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2" to "boot=/dev/mmcblk2p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk2p2". I'm not saying it'll work (I haven't tested it), but it at least makes sense.
No luck. Tried formatting the nand to FAT32 before flashing. Also no luck. Afterward, I had to format the nand to EXT-4 to get my original back up image to boot. As a side note, both lakka partitions were visible and browseable on the nand and I had no problems editing the uEnv.txt. I wouldn't be surprised if a simple fix is required to get lakka booting from the nand, but it's beyond my current linux/unix skills.Thanks for the advice. I will test this later and report back.

-Edit 2: I found that using sun8i-h3-orangepi-pc-plus.dtb on the orange pi lite lakka image will make the nand visable. You can load the built in games with lakka, if nothing else.
Having lakka able to boot from the internal flash would free up the SD card slot, and possibly eliminate the need for a fast SD card. The system seems virtually unbrickable since it will always boot from the SD slot even if the nand won't boot. Having the SD card slot free means you can format your card to fat32, meaning you can transfer roms more easily.A thought occurs. Why would you need to hack the system internally if you can just boot software from the SD card? Seems safer and more easily reversible that way.
We can has your hacked dash?because that would free up the sd card slot to load stuff off the sd card.
frankly i use the android cfw and a usb stick for more expansion
That's awesome. Hoping the data east machine is network capable. That will influence my buying decision.it works from both.
hell as a matter of fact you only would need win32diskimager to burn it to an sd card technically. it can run as an "emunand" firmware off the sd or as internal nand firmware.
though to be honest 2 things also happened recently that are interrupting with this.
1)I got a data east my arcade as a gift. this THING IS AMAZING. it literally is a full blown android image (almost like a tablet)
it has so much potential its absurd.
2)i got a go retro-portable (if i manage to play castlevania in a handheld like this, i would be happy ;.; )
so im messing with all 3 with my admittedly limited free time
If so, I want one to watch sling tv on my desk. Oh... and to play games, too, I suppose.the darn thing may be able to even support wifi or ethernet off the bat. pretty bananas.
RetroOrange Pi DOES boot on the device but the screen just turns completely black after its finished loading
I had the same experience with Retrorangepi, and wondered if a swap file would help. Thank you for saving me the headache. I wonder if retropie can be downloaded/built on the device in a debian environment. The original raspberry pi got it done on 256MB of ramHave you tried altering boot/script.bin to point to a different file? If that doesn't work or you'd like to go in a little less blind, you can always add a line in rc.local above the "exit 0" to dump dmesg out to a file and maybe that'll give you some clues. I'm supposed to be getting some more microSD cards today, so I plan to try to get RetroOrange Pi working as I actually quite like the Emulation Station interface.
Edit: Just checked and RetroOrange Pi boots straight to Emulation Station. It took like 5+ minutes on first boot, and I'm using a relatively fast Sandisk 64GB A2 card. Subsequent boots and it took over a minute. Getting past the gamepad screen and Emulation Station is killed, probably by the Out of Memory killer. Disabling zram doesn't help. Adding a 1GB swapfile works except Emulation Station is pretty much unusable. Overall, I'd say it's a no go.
Maybe we super retro cade owners are already guilty of receiving stolen property?I personally have no interest in trying that.
I am pretty sure there could be plenty of legal issues surrounding that too.
