Hi,
I'll upload a copy of my sd card later today or tomorrow.
I think it the boot order is sd card first then emmc. So if you put my image on an sd card I think it will boot up.
None of the directories are encrypted on my sd card.
Only encryption I found is in the dB file for the display names of the games.
I think my emmc is empty, as it does not boot without the sd card.
But I will try your method to mount it to see if there is anything on there.

For getting buttons and joysticks to work in retrorangepi I assume the original software uses the gpio pins , if we could figure out the gpio pin names we might be able to modify the gpio drivers for retrorangepi and make the work.
For the built in usb encoder, if you use a male to male usb cable retrorangepi will read it as one joystick but not all buttons work, if you recompile the kernel you can get it to recognize it as 2 controllers but still does not register all the buttons. I think it's a hardware issue since if I plug the board into my computer it reads it as two controllers but still does not register all the buttons
.
When I have time I'll start playing with all of it again now I have have you working on it too. My knowledge of all of this is fairly limited but maybe together we can make some progress

happy to know there is a not encrypted version around... many thanks to upload it! It ll makes a lot of things much easier!
I agree about empty emmc, probably you got one of the early releases, the pcb show the “gb2000s” label like mine?

forgot to mension the easiest way is to boot retrorangepi pc plus from sdcard ,at Ropi menu press F4 to exit on command shell , than launch armbian gui with startx command than click on file manager to see your emmc content

Great, thanks for the info on how to mount the emmc.
here is a link to my sd image

my pcb label: SG.GB2000.Rev2.22

many thanks, downloading..!
I ll try to find a way to add roms name into db, about Ropi ...maybe I found a proper way to find gpio use&pinout...
Merry Xmas to you and your family!
Auguri di Buon Natale a tutti gli utenti di questo forum !

ps. I see you asked around for 1388in1 dump,I suppose that 1760in1 image will be a good alternative,too.
They have both unlocked android menu apk for adding android app and emu and kodi!

Hi nasoftz, were you able to download the image from my board? Did it work in your board? Did you make any progress with it?

I was able to boot your dump in my system, the main problem is that it does not recognize the two integrated joystick controller... just trying to find a way to get them work..if possible!
about game.db seems that the names are encoded (not encrypted) than decoded from the menu apk to allow multilanguage support (showing correct chinese or english chars), similar to base64 encoding, still trying to find the correct one...

Thank you.

Weird that your joysticks do not work. I shared the image dump with someone else who has the same board, there board is branded as a Pandora's box 6 with 2020 games , with no SD card, and he said my image dump worked for him and his controls worked.
Sorry I meant to say the game names were encoded not encrypted, if you enter a regular game name in the games database, it will even say decode failed, and no name will show up in the games list. But you can add roms, and movies and they will play properly.
