I don't support Jessie anymore (knowingly, anyways).

sonicsheppard

I realised I had them the wrong way around. I meant it worked on Jessie but doesn't work on Stretch. Sorry about that.

residentjim

i tried that it fails to install.any luck adding the rest of the software to ports?

@residentjim

more info on this :- NES/SNES Mini Classic Emulator (not tested yet)

residentjim

the info is here

https://board.byuu.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1823

but i think is difficult to make it work better to do the other ports and leave this for later thanks

@residentjim Adding a proprietary emulator - without any license and possibly infringing Nintendo's copyrights/license - it's not something that I see added in RetroPie.

residentjim

its open-source as far as i know Nintendo released the OS files, now if they have copyright concerns i dont know about.anyway leave this out

mitu

@residentjim Are you sure - do you have a link to the source code of the emulator ? Since their system is based on Linux, they have released the sources of the linux kernel and the kernel drivers they're using, I doubt they released also the emulator's sources.

residentjim

that must be i saw before,no i dont have a link i saw it months ago and i cannot find it now,but leave that out if you are saying it has licence issues.

I dont know how to do pull requests otherwise i will have send everything there

residentjim

And another thing now

is there a way to install Kodi 18 Alpha to Retropie?

Kodi is installed from the Deb repositories offered by the Kodi project, if they don't make it available, then it's not installable.

residentjim

yes i know that, if there is a way manual i mean

residentjim

One question if i install the Retropie Script in a clean Raspbian image will it work in all the raspberry pi eg 0-1-2-3 or only in the one that is installed/created?

mitu

@residentjim No.

residentjim

@mitu so only in the one installed?

mitu

@residentjim Is there something you'd like to do specifically ? RetroPie has specific packages for PI0/1 and Pi2/3, just like the images provided (which are based on Raspbian Lite) so taking a Pi2/3 installation and putting it in a Pi0/1 will not work.

BuZz

If you are confident with the commandline, you can do an install on a rpi2/3 that will work on the rpi0/1 by forcing the platform.

eg

sudo __platform=rpi0 ./retropie_packages.sh

Also to note: rpi0/1 code will also run on a rpi2/3 but won't be optimised and will be slower. rpi2/3 code won't run the on the rpi0/1

residentjim

Thanks Buzz any change to add the ports in the first post?

I'm not Buzz, but as someone that's created a lot of the ports out there... you're asking for a lot. It would probably help if you took a shot at trying to create one yourself based off of those already in RetroPie.

residentjim

i was not talking to you zerojay ,if i knew from scripts i would already did by now. anyway thanks
