You can download the builds at https://le.builds.lakka.tv
Changelog
- Allwinner images: We now have completely new builds for Allwinner boards, based on the mainline kernel and u-boot. With this new project, we can support many new boards with very little efforts. Basing off a recent kernel allows greater compatibility with newer joypads and dongles. These new images will replace the a10, a20, H3 and Bananapi images.
- OdroidXU4 update: A kernel and u-boot update fixes the eMMC boot. It also improves TV detection and adds more resolutions. Special thanks to Hardkernel for gifting an XU4 and the new eMMC modules.
- Kiosk mode: Enabling the kiosk mode will prevent users to access the settings. You can setup a password to disable the kiosk mode. This work is provided by Brunnis.
- New Rockchip Images for the Tinkerboard, ROCK64 and MiQi boards, using the latest 4.4.96 LTS kernel and mainline 2017.11 u-boot, provided by Ntemis. With future plans to switch to mainline v4.14 LTS.
- Parallel-N64 emulator with multithreaded Angrylion.
- Scanning for Gamecube CDs.
- Minor UI fixes.
