      I am debating upgrading my Pi Box from a Pi 3 to a tinker...

      Is there any update regarding compatibility? Or any need for help regarding it?

        I don't believe there have been any updates. From everything I've read, its gains are somewhat hampered by poor support, making it unreliable for constant use.

          I think the Odroid XU4 has better support for RetroPie and emulators - you might consider it if you're looking for a better SBC.

              Isn't the same often said of the Tinker Board?

                Can you expand on this or provide a specific link?
                I was considering the Odroid XU4 and any info would be great.
