Developers have confirmed that the RK3588 is a target, though no firm ETA exists for a "Stable" branch. - GitHub Developers have confirmed that the RK3588
For years, EmuELEC users were limited by the Mali-G52 GPU in Amlogic chips, which struggled with high-end emulation. The RK3588 changes the landscape:
The combination of and the Rockchip RK3588 SoC is a highly anticipated frontier in retro gaming . While EmuELEC is historically optimized for Amlogic chips, the massive performance leap of the RK3588 (found in boards like the Orange Pi 5 , Rock 5B , and ODROID-M2 ) has driven significant demand for a stable link between this software and hardware. The Status of EmuELEC on RK3588
