I was not able to get a plug and play solution like #Batocera, #Lakka, or #Retropie to boot on the #MangoPi MQ-Quad

So for the time being, I was able to install janky official #Debain iso and upgrade it to #Bookwork with the official repos.

I will probably have to install all the emulators individually. Holler at your boy if you know some good emulators for the following:
1) #GameBoy/GBC/GBA
2) #NeoGeo Pocket
3) #Wonderswan
4) #AtariLynx
5) #GameGear
6) #NES
7) #MasterSystem

Okay…. I tried out #retroarch and it was a buggy mess for me.

I have installed #Mednaffe/ #mednafen and so far it has been good. The UI is lacking, but it plays the games well.

RetroArch

RetroArch is a frontend for emulators, game engines and media players. It enables you to run classic games on a wide range of computers and consoles through its slick graphical interface. Settings are also unified so configuration is done once and for all.

@JLW_the_Jobber can’t you just install RetroArch on whatever distribution works on that hardware and rely on its cores? ES-DS as a frontend if you want to make it look nicer
