Asus Tinker Board
-
@stereodark Thanks for your heads up! Honestly I'm surprised Asus software us that bad, I think a good software base is one of the most important steps to build a healthy community.
-
This is too bad, I'm going to buy another pi or tinker board next month and this was a big consideration. I was hoping that the increased power would have let some of the emulators run without overclocking.
-
Note I have one of these boards now (Thanks to ASUS for offering/sending one) , so will be looking into compatibility with RetroPie on it in the near future.

@BuZz this is awesome news. I hope it works out. I really want to upgrade.
-
@BuZz Please share the results :))
-
@BuZz interested to see how it turns out!
-
Hi BuZz,
did you get it work with RetroPie ?? :)
And is it much faster than PI 3 ?
If yes i will buy one...
-
@Rotarum I will update when I have news. There is no timeline for this.
-
@BuZz ok Thanks :) Hopefully you can test it soon when you have time...
-
ASUS announced yesterday they are now selling the tinker board in North America ...
-
Hi all, I just received my Tinker Board.
Tinker OS is pretty much the only OS that booted right off the bat. Tinker Board is certainly faster than the Pi, however I am not sure how much that matters to some of us.
I will do some testing and report back.

hey guys. just joined that community. Bought a Pi3 a week ago. loved it so much went to buy another today and bought the tinkerboard instead. found a video of someone getting retroarch to work anyone have any luck finding out he did it?
-
I think ETA Prime has a video on it. Search it on YouTube. It is buggy, though. I don't assume we'll be able to use the Tinker Board anytime soon.
-
I bought one yesterday, and managed to get retroarch on it. I like it alot, but the image is still in beta and has issues. Once it gets hardware acceleration, I think things will run alot better then.
I also compiled Mednafen multi emulator and it runs a little better.
-
@KryPtAlIvIaN how did you get retroarch to work? Any videos you watched on how to make it work? Or did you put one on youtube?
-
@memothejanitor yeah I think I watched that video but he is just showing how the roms are playing. He doesn't explain how he got arch to work..... I don't think
-
Has anyone tried the retropie image on the tinker board? does it boot at all?
does this work? https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/RetroPie-Ubuntu-16.04-LTS-x86-Flavor
is tinker OS debian based as well?
-
@mab1376 no. tinker board will require code changes.
-
@mab1376 I believe the os is debian based
-
@hannibal
Not all debian bases are equal. There could be several differences. For instance I played with retropie on mx16 for a while to see what it would be like. Because all the libraries and compilers aren't the same, some things such as dolphin in that case wouldn't compile without changes. It can probably be done, but it's going to take a bit of work.
