Why not call it RetroPC or RetroX86 following the same schema as RetroPie?
-
@vbs that's what I was saying, if name change is warranted, but the information I've been reading says that you can do it without any problems just call it retro pie x86, or something
-
Re-branding this distribution completely isn't the worst idea in the world. Having RetroPie in the name when there is no Pi doesn't make a whole lot of sense to begin with. Kodi wasn't intrinsically a better name than XBMC, but at least it finally represented the progression from being a media center exclusive to the XBox. Also, the re-branding of RaspBMC to OSMC only made sense when the team's focus shifted to a variety of hardware. Personally, I like the name RetrOS, but my vote probably shouldn't count, as I'm not looking to move away from my Pi setup anytime soon.

@mediamogul yeah I like that name to and are used pies for all my arcades except the one that I want to run killer instinct and Mortal Kombat because they don't run on the pie
-
I vote RetrOS
-
See I am good for coming up with ideas...
:)
-
Sweet, I can't wait to try it out. I can make a few videos of it running when it's done .

@LinuxArcadeGuy as i stated that earlier i agree with retrOS.
-
RetrOS, Built on RetroPie!
-
Here's a great example of another distribution built on retro pie but calling itself something else
-
@LinuxArcadeGuy I think calling it a distribution is stretching it. Thats me installing Attract Mode on top of RetroPie so people can experiment with a different front end. Its basically vanilla RetroPie with a different FE. Its not supported or maintained, so very much a demonstration rather than something that is suggested a distribution. The only name I have given it is "RetroPie with Attract Mode".

This is Initial Test on a Virtual Machine -
@LinuxArcadeGuy
I working on it. New name, new logos, new platform, (X86-32bit not supported before), retropie 4.1.4. And, i hope, Emulation Station with multi language support. -
@Devil78 sweet, it would be nice if you could have added attract mode, I'm a firm believer in that retropie group needs to switch, as emulationststion hasn't been updated or improved in over 3 years!

@LinuxArcadeGuy said in PixelOS:
emulationststion hasn't been updated or improved in over 3 years!
Actually, some truly fantastic work is currently being done with Emulation Station in the form of a grid view addition and video previews. I believe there are even a few really nice features from the 'Kid Friendly' ES variant that are being considered for integration. I'm not sure when any of these additions will make their way into an official RetroPie release, but the work shown so far by the developers is amazing.
