Older Kano/Raspberry Pi Support

Not so much a request as an interested question, are you able to create an installer that could work on an older Kano Computer Kit? https://www.amazon.com/Kano-Computer-Kit-Anyone-Make/dp/B073VTCS66

My boys have two such kits that are based on Raspberry Pi 2's and it would be cool to be able to install the games on their set up.

What's the underlying OS, again? Debian (x64)?

Yeah, "Kano OS is based on the Raspbian OS which itself is based on Debian, a Linux based operating system." Not sure if it's 64bit, will check on the weekend.

No rush, I just think it would be cool for the kids to see that it's possible to build their own games.

So, it looks like the biggest issue isn't being able to build for Raspbian, but that the Godot Engine and games run too slowly. There are methods for building native apps (less likely to work) that should be slightly faster; and methods to bundle in Electron (more likely to work, but probably slower). The question is whether one of both of these would produce a game that runs reasonably well on a Pi.

Got it. Parent's laptop is is then 馃榿

I'll try make a build for Raspbian this weekend. Worth checking - maybe the info I'm going on is outdated.

My Kano Kit Complete Display is getting EDID Checksum.  Would it be possible to get the EDID data from another Display?
