Feature request: Add network support to RetroArch for Open Dingus Beta (OpenDingux (GCW Zero/RG350M/RG280V/others))

[SuperBadger77]

First and foremost consider this:

This is a feature request.

Description

The Adam image is a hugely popular distro that uses RetroArch at its core. It currently uses the Open Dingus Beta for GCW Zero/RG350M/RG280V/others devices. The distro has support for wifi dongles, but the current buikld of Open Dingus Beta does not have networking built in. COuld I request that networking support to be added to Open Dingus Beta - that would then allow the support for Retro Achievements when users connect to wifi via the GCWConnect app.

@cthulhu-throwaway How feasible would this be?

If you lack the hardware necessary, I'd be willing to buy it for you in case the interest is there. A lot of people are buying these handhelds recently, it's a big userbase for us.

Not interested. Besides, these devices are pretty weak and can't support netplay.

[LibretroAdmin]

Actually, a lot of those Anbernic devices are quite more powerful than a PS Vita or 3DS when it comes to CPU performance.

Judging from the linked PR, this should be resolved now.
