RetroPie 4.6 for RockPro64

Davide Duca

Hi, I just published a modified version of Retropie 4.6 for RockPro64 on github at the following address:

https://github.com/Tron74/RetroPie-Setup

90% of the scripts have been converted and compiled, there is still 10% of the scripts that need to be modified, for this I seek help from volunteers.

There is also a link for downloading the image with all the packages installed, the Front End works well, but there is still some configuration problem.

I ask anyone interested to help. I chose RetroPie because I have more control over the operating system. I chose the RorckPro64 instead as I have superior performance to any other mini card supported by RetroPie.

Thanks

That's a very nice project - especially since it's an ARM64 system. Have you tried the - more recent - Armbian releases, which include the open source Panfrost MESA driver ?

Do you intend to merge your changes upstream ? I noticed you didn't fork the RetroPie-Setup project, so there's no easy way to see what changed. I've seen the changed added to system.sh, which add the rock64 platform.

Some of the packages you've had troubles are problematic on 64 bit platforms (older MAME cores), so I wouldn't focus on ataining 100% compatibility with the RPi platform - especially for the drivers included (e.g.snesdev).

Unfortunately without a system available, it's hard to troubleshoot the installation issues you've had - but if you provide some build logs, we might be able to provide some assistance.

Hi, sorry I'm late, I recreated the Git repository including the changes made to the original scripts. each modification has been designed to maintain compatibility with other platforms.

As operating system I installed Armbian 20.02.1 Bionic deprived of the graphic mode.
I therefore send you the link to download the image (16Gb) with the changes made:

In the next few days I will provide the logs for each script to be converted.
Hope for your help thank you very much.

I don't have a RockPro64 system to test - I think I mentioned that in my first reply - so I can't use the image you uploaded.

In the next few days I will provide the logs for each script to be converted.

You mean the ones that you have issues during installation/operation ?

Hello, thank you very much for creating this repo and the image. I tried it and it unfortunatelly does not run the games, I can at least run Stella in SDL even with my special joystick support!
Btw, are you planning to port it to the latest Armbian?
