ssh won't connect LF1000

[HighOnVoltage]

When I run remote_flash.sh for retroleap it's given me an error stating it can't connect.
I believe it has to do with this project, but really unsure what's missing.

Do you want to format the roms partition? (You should do this on the first flash of retroleap) (y/n)y

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, there's come good efforts put into these projects of yours.

Which version of sshflash and retroleap? I can confirm flashing LF1000 works for sshflash-2.0-alpha4 and retroleap_v2.0.0-alpha10.
