(Updated on 02-21-2021): Twister OS Armbian version 1.1.0 update has been released!

Due some recent Mesa Regressions, there has been some Visual artifacts on PPSSPP and Mupen64 emulators for PSP and N64 roms respectively. We have a Mesa fix for it. It will be uploaded pretty soon:

Note: Games with Box86 and Wine were also affect them. Now after Mesa fix, games such as age of empires 2,dune 2000,diablo 2,warcraft 3 and emperor battle for dune among others are working again.

Version 1.1.0 patch notes:

• Added Mesa driver v20.3 to improve Wine and overall game compatibility
  
• Added support for EXE file icons and double-clicking to launch with Wine
  
• Updated PPSSPP launcher & shortcut to use Mesa v20.3

My interest is in 4k h265, which means hardware acceleration, I think.
I would like to use the RockPro64 for a Home theater system.
The connector layout is terrible for this.
But I wait.
I thank everyone for getting us this far!
