EmuELEC is now aarch64 ONLY, compiling and using the ARM version (after 3.9) is no longer supported, please check out the master_32bit branch if you wish to build the 32bit version.
Retro emulation for Amlogic devices.
Based on CoreELEC and Lakka with tidbits from Batocera. I just combine them with Batocera-Emulationstation and some standalone emulators (Advancemame, PPSSPP, Reicast, Amiberry and others).
To build use:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt-get install gcc make git unzip wget xz-utils libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libfreeimage-dev libfreetype6-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev rapidjson-dev libasound2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev build-essential libboost-all-dev cmake fonts-droid-fallback libvlc-dev libvlccore-dev vlc-bin texinfo premake4 golang libssl-dev curl patchelf xmlstarlet default-jre xsltproc
git clone https://github.com/shantigilbert/EmuELEC.git EmuELEC
cd EmuELEC
git checkout master
PROJECT=Amlogic ARCH=aarch64 DISTRO=EmuELEC make image
For the Odroid N2/s905x2/s905x3/a311d:
PROJECT=Amlogic-ng ARCH=aarch64 DISTRO=EmuELEC make image
For the Odroid Go Advance/Super:
PROJECT=Rockchip DEVICE=OdroidGoAdvance ARCH=aarch64 DISTRO=EmuELEC make image
Note: In some cases you may also need to install tzdata, xfonts-utils and/or lzop
sudo apt-get install tzdata xfonts-utils lzop
Remember to use the proper DTB for your device!

EmuELEC DOES NOT INCLUDE KODI
Please note, this is mostly a personal project, I can't guarantee that it will work for your box, I've spent many hours trying to optimize and make sure everything works, but I can't test everything and things might just not work at all, also keep in mind the limitations of the hardware and don't expect everything to run at 60FPS (specially N64, PSP and Reicast) I can't guarantee changes to fit your personal needs, but I do appreciate any PRs, help on testing other boxes and fixing issues in general.
I work on this project on my personal time, I don't make any money out of it, so it takes a while for me to properly test any changes, but I will do my best to help you fix issues you might have on other boxes limited to my time and experience.
