      Hey guys, I've been researching around and noticed that some people had some success running Retropie in Rock64:
      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18832/retropie-on-rockpro64-initial-observations

      Some other users have mentioned projects that date back to 2017, but nothing else since then.

      I take it's possible to run Retropie after some fiddling, but I'm stuck in the fiddling part.

      I managed to install the core of retropie, but when I put "emulationstation" in the console, something always comes up to prevent it from working. At first it was some sdl2 error, then ithere was something related to the lack of video device, now there's this error with some font.

      Maybe someone that succeded at this task could help me out troubleshooting this?
      I've heard that Lakka and Recalbox already work in Rock64, but they both need to be burned as an image. I'd rather go with a manual setup, since I need to run various services in the background of the SBC.

      Thanks a lot!
