Is it a Pine64 that is inside the RetroEngine Sigma?
#4
The PineA64 board is a dev board. You can do a whole lot with it, but there are some things that don't work the way you might expect. Things are shaping up. The community is active, and there's a lot of development both on the hardware and the software side. The Pine team are focusing on developing the hardware and exploring different ways to implement the products in a very maker friendly way. Just look at the PADI stamp and the coming SOPine boards and the super-affordable ultrabooks that are in the pipeline.

If you want an entertainment centre with retrogaming capabilities, you can try a pine board with Android 6 image and load up emulators from the Play Store. Or you can go with a retroarch-like setup and emulationstation. If you're going for a PineA64 setup, you should be prepared to tinker a lot and spend time lurking the forums and chatting with the other community members. Odds are that others share your interests, and that might sow something that can grow into a project .

But if you're not into tinkering or after something that just works straight out of the box like the Mini NES, you should consider getting a specially designed unit dedicated for that exact purpose.
