Still fairly new to the scene and excited to see how this performs against my RPI3. Has anyone using this build tried adding emulation yet? I love retroarch on my pi and plan to fiddle with trying to get that working on this platform as well. I also plan to try the Netflix and Chromium addon. Any experience or feedback from the group would be appreciated. I'll be sure to update with my experiences.
The performance is considerably higher than RPI 3 - in terms of computation. Then obviously storage and networking performance blow the RPI 3 out of the water (USB 3.0 / GbE) The Mali 450 is on par with VC4 - they are both low power/ spec.
As for emulation, there is a proper Lakka image that was just released (do keep in mind the R64 is a new product) and an early alpha of RetroPie. I saw that you can install emulators in LibreElec too - but didn't try that. If you like Retroarch then I'm sure you'll be pleased with Lakka - for a first image on this platform its very polished.
