Asus Tinker Board

craigerator

@baileus Only mupen64plus. There are fewer cores and ports available in this version than my Pi has access to, but I don't know why.

Baileus

@craigerator
Yeah same here, any idea of how to go about adding them manually?

craigerator

@baileus Not at the moment. I tried building one with libretro-super, but it didn't work when I dropped it into the appropriate directory (/opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mupen64plus/). I will need to spend some time reading Retropie-Setup's code to figure out what it is doing differently, and why it only installs libretro cores on the Tinkerboard.

Baileus

@craigerator
Sounds good, I'll take a look too when I get a chance

@baileus @craigerator
ok just did a update and rebooted my system and i got a "it looks like your systems configuration file has not been set up or is invalid. You'll need to do this by hand unfortunately."
you guys ever seen this or have any idea what to do to fix it?

jonnykesh

@hannibal It means your es_systems.cfg file is missing / corrupt / invalid.

hannibal

@jonnykesh
thanks brother. guess i will just reinstall ES

jonnykesh

@hannibal That should fix it.

Hopefully this helps some people out, but in the asus tinker board forums someone (Desproggster) posted a pre-provisioned somewhat working tinker board OS here:

https://tinkerboarding.co.uk/forum/thread-522-page-4.html

Maybe this will cut out some of the manual work some of you tinker board retropie pioneers are facing.

I'll get a tinker board and try to pitch in some help too.

@BuZz, i know your a busy man, but for your notes, lr-ppsspp, lr-paralell64, and ppsspp will not install. when you get a chance to circle back to the TB can you take a look. i found a work around for the 2 lr-cores by using a set form a different image and manually making folders and editing the emulator.cfg files. It worked well, and RP see's that they are installed. no Dice on ppsspp. No rush, just wanted to let you know.
