Luke It does not matter, I also contacted several other board manufacturers 😉 It's more for nadenislamarre than I do it because I at the level of development I perform minimal tasks, I'm more to test the system thoroughly on the new boards 🙂

It's nice of you to bring some interest to this project and to invest yourself

But the Pinebook is really amazing, it's PCs of this type that should be in schools, offices and much more 😃

nadenislamarre

@rtissera does your image will work for the pine64 then ?

nadenislamarre

hum, not sure. it's not clear to me. i thought that pine64 was a board. but my board is in fact pine A64 : https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=1194

and you've probably this one : https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=7147

Luke Hello,

Thanks it's kind ! nadenislamarre is the person who will need it the most because he is the one who carries out the vast majority of the ports. But I do not know if he has a lot of time to devote to this new board with all the work he has

He is the only master of his choice 😉

rtissera

No it's Rock64 only, the Pine64 is based on another chipset.
Testing on Rock64 2GB.

Luke

Hey all (hi rtissera!), let me know if any of you interested in bringing batocera to the Rock64 are in need of dev kits and I'll make arrangements.

cheers,

Luke

@Luke i'm probably not the one who will do the first commit for the rock64, but i will probably contribute at the end to help on finishing it. if @rtissera is working on it, i may work on it. And to test the next release before release them. So, i'm interrested.

Luke Pinebook it's so cool ! This product interests me

Nice news https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5614

Hoping to see Batocera on the map, it would be really good, especially with the Pinebook

I remember contacting you for a sample (Rock64) for me and nadenislamarre

Luke

Thank you both for responding. @nadenislamarre would you kindly email me your shipping address ? - l.erecinski@pine64.org

Also if you, or any other dev, would be interested in the upcoming RockPro64 (please read here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5614) then please let me know.

Thank you again.

Luke

@Genetik57 Glad you like the Pinebook 🙂 Do email me your details please and I'll have a Rock64 unit ship out to you and nadenislamarre.

nadenislamarre

@rtissera have you started something on this port ?

Luke

Hey all, I haven't heard from you in quite some time. Have you received the boards ?

Genetik57

Luke Good evening,

I was planning to contact you 🙂 Yes I received the kits, we thank you ! 😃

The kit of @nadenislamarre is in delivery but as we have a few public holiday + the weekend it may take a moment

dmschwartzii

This makes me want to buy one and help

Luke

Glad to hear the kits arrived. Do keep me posted 🙂

nadenislamarre

@rtissera i received my board today.
Have you started something ?
I suggest we do the job together, do you agree ?

Luke

How do you guys build the images? Reason why I am asking is - I am in touch with guys from all the other retrogaming projects, perhaps some of the solutions to the issues they overcame could benefit you too.
edit: will check in regularly now (once daily) that you've got your stuff.

Luke

Hey again, got a dev who's doing a hell of a job on another project - will make sure you get the patches once hes done. Did anyone start on the R64 port yet ?

Genetik57

Luke Hello,

@nadenislamarre is currently on vacation, he'll finish 5.15 version when he comes back 🙂 And I think the 5.16 version will be compatible with the rock64 😉

Luke

Genetik57
Great, thanks for the update. We'll have many patches for you sometime next week - should make development quite simple.
