Looking to make it a retropi but running gentoo. Anyone have any tips? Kinda confused on which guide to follow.
i would like to use 64bit but would that be good?

EugeneTheJeep,

If you want the full Gentoo experience, there is Raspberry Pi 3 64 bit Install
There is a new stage3.

It runs Xfce4, that's keyworded ~arm64, and mate but mate is not yet keyworded for arm64 at all.
arm64 on Gentoo is an experimental architecture but most of the things I've tried seem to work.
The edges are pretty rough.

I'm having trouble with arm64 and cross distcc after switching to the /17.x/ profile. I've not got to the bottom of that yet.
For the full Gentoo experience, you will want cross distcc and a USB drive to build on. The SD card is slow.

Off-topic for this thread, apologies, but I've just started trying to get a arm64 17.0 / pie build working too, in preparation for when the 13.0 gets last-rited... any hints would be greatly appreciated ^-^ ... perhaps worth starting a new topic for this?

Just an update. Could not get 64bit to work without freezing. got 32bit to work. got most of the software installed to make my own gentoo based emulation machine.. then ran into the brick wall of mupen64.
Claimed to have arm support. official ebuild won't build, neither will the libretro one. No documentation except for inside the make file that mentions arm support, neon extension and hard floating point. but no information to get it to build without failing as it looks for x86 specific stuff.

truekaiser,

Well, its not going to work on arm64. All I did was keyword things in package.accept_keywords/ and shut my eyes. :)
Code:
Emerging (3 of 13) games-emulation/mupen64plus-core-2.5-r1::gentoo

Makefile:127: *** CPU type "aarch64" not supported.  Please file bug report at 'http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/issues'.  Stop.


You might have better luck on armv7a but I don't have easy access to one of those.

The guide NeddySeagoon linked to references distfiles.gentoo.org which points to a stage3 from 2017.12.04
