@tjstyle - fyi for users to track progress once people start getting the units & trying a beta...

[tjstyle]

@dmanlfc I was make a PR for RP5 support that also have an addition for Cooling Fan function.

[tjstyle]

@dmanlfc Cooling Fan and Joystick LED was working now

where do i find the beta for the retroid pocket mini?

[dmanlfc]

an early beta is here - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1K8T7CxGef0fvYkMGkD_tFBaw8sgW1a-s?usp=sharing
BUT it does not include updates past the 12th of October.

Don’t use it: the fan isn’t functional (or too much functional, always at 100%). There will be a first official beta available in a few hours.

amazing and thanks for providing the beta. works pretty well. is there a way to bypass android entirely and use batocera as primary OS on the retroid pocket mini?
