Has anyone had a Asus tinker board, I'm having trouble with it, there is not much of a community for it, trying to turn it into a retro system.

From the image, I see no difference between this and Raspberry Pi.

Considered hooking up an old PC to your TV instead?
why the fuck would you buy a more expensive product that literally is a ctrl c ctrl v of RaPi.
These kind of cards usually give a prebuilt linux distro for it, so just copy it on the sd card.
If not, you must build your own linux distro but that's not a thing every retard knows how to do.
They usually give you datasheets with this kind of thing.
If you don't have the skills then why the fuck did you buy it

he read the memes and marketing specifically designed to trick people into thinking IT requires no skill at all (karlie kodes, bootcamps, etc) and fell for it hook, line and sinker

Are you using a CRT TV or an HDTV?
Don't buy cards from minor companies and expect much from its non existent communities.
I know how they work because I work at one.
The devs are usually pieces of shit who are working 1 day per week trying to make the smallest progress possible and yet their commercial bosses are telling them "Good job anon". I won't complain about the paycheck though.
If you don't know anything about building your own linux distro, configuring the kernel and the packages manually (or using tools like buildroot/yocto) don't buy other cards than Raspberry or Arduino.
This is a great piece of advice right here. You will save money and time

I'm using hdtv, only got this board as I was gonna get raspberry pi 3 on the day but they was out stock and saw they had this for same price but higher specs.

This is the problem with anything that's not R Pi, Beagleboard, or Odroid.
You're fucked and have no one to ask for help if you run into any issues.

It's barely been (re)released after Asus stumbled on the original release
Linux support is improving, but it'll never be like the Raspberry Pi

This is a better answer
An old x86 PC will run circles around these ARM toys.

I know people like this who work in IT. They can barely, if at all, code. They spend their days configuring software their company bought from others.

what bar dat?

polybar, i no longer have that config file do
You jumped on it too soon. Somebody is already working on a retropi fork for it because the processor should be able to handle n64 gaming well. Give it til Christmas.

What about power consumption and antiquated PSU.

>n64 gaming
N64 emulation is total shit and not worth it.
I'm not sure if it can handle PS2, but if not, OP could've just gone for a RPi3 or Odroid C2/XU4
