Retropie

[rogerba]

So I'm guessing that throwing my SD card with retropie and games all loaded onto it, isn't really going to work? I'm still super excited and looking forward to getting my board I pledged for! And more than excited to see how this emulation station turns out! 
I would be a contributing factor in this if I actually knew what I was doing but my experience is so limited, it's pathetic, and usually end up googling for hours just to find what single line of code I have to change to get what I want working.

Rogerba,

Your retropie image will most likely give you issues. It was programmed to work around the Raspberry Pi's hardware, which will be different from the Pine64.

We have all been there. :-) I am still that way from time to time, but in the end you learn something new even if it took you two hours.

Thanks,

KryPtAlIvIaN,

If you have the free time, or the patience, I'd like to work along side, or at least follow along with the development of a RetroPie-like platform for this new board. I love all kinds of classic games and really enjoy building, Plus coding is something that I've always been into but would love to get into Linux programming and GUI design.

Thanks a ton,
