Scratch that, download was incomplete. Re-downloading now.

Added .img extension, flashed it onto an SD card, booted, got wifi, mouse and keyboard working. Posting from it right now
First boot took quite a while, but not more than Ubuntu or RemixOS. Keyboard layout hasn't adapted to Portuguese (stuck in US) but that's manageable.
Key question here is - what should I be testing? I don't see anything obvious. Should there be some baked-in software? All I can see is stock android stuff
Thanks!
Edit: just adding that I see the full 64gb of space available, so Android clearly expanded all the way

Play games, Add roms, try to break it basically
RE: Android Gaming Image - fneves - 08-22-2016
KryPtAlIvIaN can you tell us, what did you change from the image provided by Pine?

OK, so first report:
> after a false start (download interrupted mid-way), I got the full and correct file
> imaging onto SD card was easy
> all 64gb of my SD card are usable, which is nice
> on boot, retroarch launches as expected
However, trying to launch Super Mario Advance with the GBA emulator resulted in a crash. I'll try more ROMs and systems tomorrow and report back
Thanks!

Been playing a bit with the RetroPie so I'm game to try this as well.
Thank you for attempting this
RE: Android Gaming Image - cjolly3053 - 01-23-2017
Sorry I'm a little new to android. Been playing a lot with the retro pie though... Can I connect via FTP to this? Is there a default username/password or can I change those settings somewhere??? Where are the rom folders???

Sorry, I've been so busy the last few months, between a new job, family death, and holidays. I hope to get started on the project here in the next few days. This will not be a traditional image, as I have to use apps to do everything since the regular linux version is not yet ready for gaming.
Right now everything is stock, and no accounts have been tied, which means you shouldn't have to log in. I want to get the gaming process going first, then I'll add the FTP APPS, Shares, and other options.
Right now, I'm going to be doing some research on the best way to implement control mappings for devices. I may just do a poll on what controllers people will be using.

Basically, I'm going to install RetroArch and have it boot straight into Retroarch. Let me know if you would like to give it a try.
Thanks,
