@Ratte
Hi, we all now on the handheld trip
My Freeplay Kit is also on his way. Is this a virus ?

[Ratte]

All soldering works are done. The next few days are reserved for software setup.

@Ratte
I suppose we will be both on a similar trip (my Freeplay CM3 arrive today or tomorrow), both have a working image under Retropie, and for Recalbox to run on it, both will need modifications of gpio control (that are fixed in the RB driver), lcd screen and so on.

@dragu but we haven't added the CM3 dtb ...

[voljega]

@dragu genuine question : what is the interest for Freeplay team to use CM3 instead of standard Pi3 ?

[Dragu]

@Substring
But bcm2710-rpi-cm3.dtb is existing, as he also arrived to boot with it, even when missing in the actual RB boot folder.
@voljega
This is build in a GBA case, so the CM3 has more or less the size of the zero. PI3 too much big. On the other side you have with 4x1200Mhz the most powerfull GBA size portable console.

@dragu the guy behind freeplaytech was here for a while tontry gonget recalbox working on it. It "was" kinda working, except with kodi

@Substring
I will open a new thread, I dont want to hijack @Ratte's project.

After a long time of silence i found some time for the project.

Based on RB41/batocera I added the SPI-driver for the display and my both addons (C64DTV based on vice and AmigaCD32 based on uae4arm).
This weekend i try to finish my work (GPIO-Buttons and display fps-tweaking).
