retropie in roseapple pi

[majed]

can somone help me pls
i have roseapple pi and install Ubuntu 16. and i want to install retropie from github
I followed all the steps

This shows me
$ sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh
Unknown platform - please manually set the __platform variable to one of the following: armv7-mali generic-x11 imx6 odroid-c1 rpi1 rpi2 rpi3 rpi3-64 x86
$
i don't know what platform i have so i cod this
$ sudo __platform=imx6 ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

but the build not successful

I tried to change the platform to rpi2 the same think

What is the problem?

@majed The problem is that your platform is not supported by RetroPie - as the setup script tells you.

[majed]

@mitu so what's the solution

I would need a board, and maybe I could get some parts working. Board looks like powervr which I assume would be X11 only and GLES. Without the hardware I can't support it, but for you the best bet would be just to get a Raspberry Pi if you want to run RetroPie. Or someone else who is a developer to submit changes to support the board.

@majed So, it seems the install you did was for an x86 processer...

the roseapple pi is an ARM....

An unsupported workaround would be to remove ubuntu and try and install raspbian first, then run a manual install

Bear in mind that this may not work

@majed please report here if it does or does not work...

@drakaen391 I don't think Raspbian would work for that board.
@majed See if Lakka would work on your board, it has broader hardware support.

I did it
first thing i build EmulationStation and SDL2
And tried again succeeded
some packages i installed manually

Actually I did not expect it to work Because it is not like a raspberrypi
but its work
