Pine A64 - Android Game station project - octopus - 01-28-2016 Hey guys, I want to make an Android game station with the Pine A64. I first bought : PINE A64+ w/ 2GB SDRAM. When available, I'll get these elements from PineA64:
I also bought a huge sd card to install the games and RemixOS : http://www.jide.com/en/remixos I think this is the best solution to play Android games. I'll also get 2 or 4 bluetooth controllers. These have nice customer reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Controller-Android-Platform-TI-465/dp/B0188FPWOM/ About local multiplayer games, I think we should make a list of the top game:
RE: Pine A64 - Android Game station project - Nilocsemliw - 01-28-2016 Is RemixOS compatible with the Pine64 to date? RE: Pine A64 - Android Game station project - Gearsoul - 01-29-2016 I'm keen to have a micro SD card set up as an Android game station as well~ :3 You can do that right? Just power down and swap out the micro SD cards, jump from Android, to Linux, to RemixOS, etc? This might be kinda weird, but I just wanna complement you on your wonderful post formatting! n__n It's very well laid out/emphasised and easy to read, and the links made it more thorough as well.

That's exactly right - power down, swap out, change OS RE: Pine A64 - Android Game station project - Gearsoul - 01-29-2016 Sweet~! ... :0c Is there a list of supported OS's somewhere?

I think that info is a little scattered about at the moment. Certainly Android, Remix OS, and some form(s) of Linux are on the cards. RE: Pine A64 - Android Game station project - Gearsoul - 01-29-2016 Hmm... would Mac/Windows be too resource intensive? :0c RE: Pine A64 - Android Game station project - Ghost - 01-29-2016 (01-29-2016, 05:55 AM)Gearsoul Wrote: Hmm... would Mac/Windows be too resource intensive? :0c Mac operating system is a very closed environment, there's no chance of Apple opening up use of the OS to a non-Apple product. Windows, largely speaking, runs on x86 processors, but not on ARM prcoessors, which is what the Pine uses. A quick forum search for 'windows' should throw up some other threads where this has been discussed (and continues to be discussed).

I was just wondering, since they have tablets, if maybe there was a version that was 'smaller' and perhaps more compatible. I'll check out those threads, though~ :3 RE: Pine A64 - Android Game station project - octopus - 01-29-2016 RemixOS will be fine (or already is?). You have to use a micro sd. There is no other storage system. Android will be on the microsd and so the games. The games will be installed on Android anyway. |
