So all issues listed in V0.1 have been solved (except for 9).
As for V0.2, these are the following issues I ran into:
1) shaders (particularly FXAA anti-aliasing) cause emulators to crash. Some shaders also cause retroarch GUI to render things incorrectly, eg. half of the menu only shows, or the menu is froze, or the menu is merged with image from the game -- I suspect this isn't specific to R64.
2) FBA 2012 crashes after ~5 min of gameplay (the SoC gets very hot too - 77*c - in comparison running quake results in a max temp of 68*c. Not sure if its related).
4) Updating Retropie from script causes the system to hang (couldn't find anything in logs - will look again). Could be a one-of.
5) Updating takes forever ... 2hrs before it crashed (this is on a SD card) -- this is without updating the underlying system. Tried with 2 different SDs - same issues.
6) This one too may not be specific to R64 --- not all buttons on my 8bitdo controller connected via BT are recognised. All are recognised if I connect it via USB cable. For the record, I have not encountered this issue on other boards running same version of Retropie.
7) controller doesnt work in retropie setup // config editor etc. You need a keyboard to navigate the menus
8) Having installed KODI it didn't show up in Emulation Station (it installed correctly).
9) Alsamixer still reports the same error as before.
