@balbes150 leaving is surely a big loss for all TV-boxers... Could you please elaborate - is requirement form "Getting started" regarding install " NAND: kernel 3.4.x and NAND storage " applied to his builds too? Years ago I successfully installed Armbian to NAND of MXQ 805 box (with nand-sata-install these days, I guess), and it worked like a charm, but now I can't find any s805 image with kernel 3.4, the earliest ones are 3.10 already. Thank you in advance if you could give a tip.

That's the thing - I couldn't find anything relevant as "S805" is in the tread's name... My hope to find some reply with actual links to existing images just dissolved as a tiny puff) I really don't remember how I achieved nand-install, probably - manually as @balbes150suggested somewhere... I really don't mind to give try to modern (5.x kernel) images for S805, but can't find any - seems like only S812 are everywhere, could you give a hand, please?

Probably I ask really stupid/blindman question, but where do you guys download these old S805 images from? Like recently mentioned "Armbian_5.67_Aml-s805_Debian_stretch_default_3.10.108_desktop_20181207.img" I have really old MXQ_S805_V03 with WiFi: RTL8189ETV, and I want to use it as TV box for my grandma with Transmission and videoplayer onboard, but with WiFi enabled. Years ago I managed to make it multiboot and installed on it Armbian desktop with dts which provided Eth only (I needed it these days, didn't care for Wifi) Is such setup possible with old (3.1 kernel) images or should I think of converting box back to (buggy/luggy) Android one (if it's possible too)?

First - great job @balbes150, thank you! My issue is that I can't get wifi working - tried all builds and all dtb-s... I know that armbian-config clearly says regarding drivers "...if not - you are on your own", but what can be done then? My board: MXQ S85 MB: AM_MXQ_A 20150825 rev. MXQ_S805_V03 WiFi: RTL8189ETV NAND: H27UCG8T2ETR BC Ethernet: IC IP101GR Install to eMMC doesn't work too (same way fails to mount /dev/data after all) but it doesn't matter, no wifi is more pain for me. I'd greatly appreciate any tips in what direction to dig further - got stuck without ideas... Thank you in advance.

Board OrangePi+2E, Debian on SD was configured/tested, then nand-instaled to eMMC. Worked as Nextcloud headless server like a charm for more than year (thanks Armbian once again), but suddenly got stuck in boot with quite strange simptoms (read on attacched for exploration HDMI): couple of "sunxi_i2c_do_xfer incomplete xfer" errors /swap creation takes ~100 seconds then complete hang on Ethernet init The only thing I can suspect is some corruption in filesystem(s) on eMMC, but I see no chance to investigate this further as boot from it hangs completely. Fresh SD with mainline Debian boots and works with no issues, so the rest of the board seems to be Ok. But there on eMMC I left my configs (yes, I've already pulled my hair for not making backups in time - one painful lesson more), so the question is as such: is there any chance to mount eMMC filesystem in SD-booted image?

Thank you for pointing me to RetroPie stuff, didn't pay attention that it's quite mature thing, shame on me. I installed ROPI and found that dosbox-es there isn't usable at all - Red Alert, UFO even Doom lag as a hell( Replacing dosbox executable with non-es one improved situation to at least the level which I had vithout es, but with no scaling again. You mentioned RA at ScummVM, but goodling didn't get any traces of such ROM there, point and click adventuring games only... Could you please point me in the right direction?

Hi guys, I wonder if someone could point me in the proper direction, got stuck with DosBox performance for several days already( Orange Pi+2e, legacy Mali supported (AFAIK) Ubuntu image, DosBox 0.74 and old good DOS games like C&C, Doom, UFO, Red Alert etc. I have tried all reasonable settings combinations in DosBox config - output, render, scaling, all with no good - performance almost isn't playable even with normal2x scaling( I was quite sure that legacy image should provide to DosBox some standard interface for hardware rendering/scaling support (with opengl, probably), but it seems to be wrong. Or the problem is on DosBox side? Do I expect too much from (well-supported in terms of Mali capabilities) H3 board or there is something I miss in setup/settings/approach? Googling brought some mentions of "Dosbox GLES version" in RetroOrangePi distro, which probably supports hardware scaling, but I couldn't find any ways to install it in our legacy Ubuntu. Any help is highly appreciated, thank you in advance.
