Hey I was looking at the PINE a64…

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pine64/pine-a64-first-15-64-bit-single-board-super-comput

Looks like it will roll out next month. Could this work with lakka. Will it be ported??

Please say yes guys I know you work hard but that board looks decently powered and at 15 bux!! Plus it will play the 64 games I bet no problem.

couple that with some wireless ps3 or similar and we got ourselves a cost efficient solution.

What you guys think?? Can it be done??

on a side note… I have stayed away from raspberry pi because I had a bad experience with sd cards getting corrupted and ruining everything much too often… Is this still a problem with the mini boards??

#2

you can send one to the developer…but that’s not a guaranteed that lakka would work or be developed on this board

#3

What about the Pi Zero??

you think lakka will work on that??

Please read this article.

Thanks gouchi that is awesome to know.

Now if we could ever get our hands on one of the piezeros we will be good to go.

I realized there are literary hundreds of these small boards around. Will be interesting to see what comes out this year.

I’d be willing to chip in for a PINE board for the Lakka devs. Do you think the 2GB model would be best or would the RAM be mostly unneeded?

Hello Flipbug.

I have contacted the pine64 team and they are going to donate one.

It’s been a while since I didn’t get a mail from them. I’m going to mail them again.

Thanks for your proposal anyway!

If they dont reply before the model rolls out we will send you one!!

Think we could spare 15 dollars for you guys to continue Gods work.

Again wonderful job to all developers on this. Its is some serious fun business and a breath of fresh air.

BTW are the sd cards getting all corrupted on the raspberry pies? I know they dont have a shutoff and I had horrible incidents with retropie. turn me off to the whole pi in general.

Awesome! I’m aware they’re currently shipping out boards to developers so hopefully you guys are included.

I’ve pre-ordered one for myself already. I really hope it out-performs the Raspberry Pi 2!

Let pray that they will have a recent kernel.

How about the Pocket CHIP then ? It has a simillar SOC (Allwiner R8) as the Pine 64.

I prefer the Pocket Chip over the Pine64 as it has a screen and a qwerty keyboard along with Lipo battery support out of the box.

#12

If these Pine boards do not include Bluetooth and WiFi I’m staying in Raspberry Pi land. Their site lists these features as “optional.”

Unadan, I cannot see your post here but i did receive it on my E-mail, strange. Anyway. I do not know about the Pine board if it has Bt or WiFi but the Chip one has both of those :slight_smile:

Thanks. I deleted it after seeing, on the Pine web page, that it was very easy to order the wifi/bluetooth add-on chip to your order.

It works on pocket chip, I’m just having trouble getting the gba to recognize the button configure.
