Orangepi supported?

All the posts for the Orangepi seem to be very old. So I’m asking if I was to get the Libre computer compatibility patches for raspbian that would allow the Orangepi be like a raspberry pi. Since retropi runs on raspbian it looks like it would be possible. Unless you have a retropi that runs on the latest Orangepi. The one I found is on Amazon:

Orange Pi 4 LTS 4GB LPDDR4 Rockchip RK3399 Six Core 64 Bit Single Board...

The Organe Pi SBCs are not supported, but I think there's a RetroPie fork that has support for some of them - RetrOrangePi ?

Yes you are correct http://www.retrorangepi.org/

@nanocbear you will have to go over there and see what they have going,

I believe the OP already knows that -

Unfortunately the RetrOrangePi scene dropped off a cliff. It was basically one guy anyway. I have one that I have kept on an old version (because it works) from a few years ago and things really haven't progressed since. The ROPI forum is basically a ghost town.

I think Lakka support this hardware but It doesn't have the plethora of settings and emulators that the RetroPie has.

Maybe the new Orange Pi 800 and upcoming Orange Pi 5 may have an affect on that. They both look impressive. Much may depend on how easy they will be to get hold of...

@George-Spiggott Pre-orders have started for the Orange Pi 5. Looks like an interesting piece of kit.

I do have to wonder why they released the Orange Pi 800 so recently with the older spec rather than the spec of this.

@gleam2003 or could someone please help me. I've got image Retropie for OrangePI 4 LTS, put it to SD-card. My Orange pi 800 started with this SD-card, everything worked fine, but video enabled only thru HDMI port. MY old CRT display didn't started with vga port, however CRT display works on the other oficial images sach as Ubuntu, OS droid, Manjaro. How to enable vga port in Retropie?

I don't know, since RetrOrangePi is not a RetroPie project and I'm not familiar with it. Perhaps try asking in their support forums/channels ?

stoogesfan87

@mitu Where are there channels?

mitu

@stoogesfan87 I don't know - look up their site. They may have forums, IRC, etc.
