[Archived] ANNOUNCING RECALBOX FOR THE ROCK64 - ALPHA RELEASE

[Raere]

Quick update. We've done a lot of progress. So much so that we'll skip Alpha V2 altogether and go for near-feature complete beta.
But to do this I need (at least) 2 people to do a proper all-around beta test and offer complete feedback. This would include, testing all emulators (even those you don't intend do play), different peripherals, settings, etc.,
Two volunteers will do.

I’d be happy to help. I use the alpha release every day.

Oh great : then we just need one more person.

I'd love to help out as well. Might need some pointers on which logs to grab, but I'm constantly fiddling with my new board and this build.

[Luke]

Great! thank you both. OK, so we're going beta after this.

I have a WiFi/Bluetooth module coming in from the pine64 store. I also have PS3, as well as 8BitDo SF30 Pro and F30 Pro controllers. I can test with those as soon as the module comes in.

The WiFi/BT module is not compatible with the Rock64.
