Lakka 4.3 Released with Orange Pi 4 LTS Support
Lakka 4.3 retro gaming console emulator now featuring Orange Pi 4 LTS support, updated Mesa to 22.1.7 and RetroArch to 1.14.
If you’re unfamiliar with Lakka, let me give you a brief overview. It is a Linux-based retro video game emulator that allows you to play classic Atari, Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation, and so on games. Built on top of RetroArch, Lakka is widely used on Raspberry Pi devices, turning these single-board computers into retro gaming consoles.
It is designed to operate out of the box and comes only with cores that work with whatever architecture you choose to download. But what are Lakka’s cores? You can think of them as plugins. They contain the code necessary to emulate a specific system, for example, Sega or PlayStation.
