            Great job man!
            All we need now is mehstation and where all set. Two new great frontend's.

            Remeh mentions Here that he is willing to support Retropie and that mehstation can compile and run without x11.

              I was struggling to get controller input set on mehstation, and I think its saved in a db, so its harder to manually edit.

                All I'm doing now is dreaming a little but if Remeh talks about supporting RetroPie all these things should probably be able to be solved some time in the future. Or it will take month's ho knows?

                    @remeh probably could shed some light on that. This is way of my league.

                      new boot screen for theme set "phase-one" made it look a lil battered,
                      and, yes I've battered up all the logos too...... since these systems have a good few years on them

                      alt text

                      i'll remove the InsecureSpike part when i release the set

                      edit: thats if i release it! i may not fully remove it, i'll reduce the opacity down very low, so its barely visible........

                                  Thank you for your work Floob. I would like to ask you if you would not even install for Noobs, I want to create a multiboot system. Retropie with Attrack and Openelec. Thank you for answer.

                                        Easy set your "Screenshot" key in the Configure/Controls menu. You'll find your screenshot in the /home/pi/.attract directory.
