New 4.1.20 RetroPie images for testing
-
@dsstrainer AM is far too flashy. Some people, plenty obviously, like it but it's not for everyone. I think ES is here to stay as the default front-end for the forseeable. At least it is being worked on again. Hopefully more customisation options will come in future releases.
-
Will try it out.
Hoping it fixes my little problem with Kodi.
-
@DigitalMonkey What's up with your Kodi?
-
@AlexMurphy On 4.1.18 (I think?) Kodi would hang (for about 6-7 mins, then a black screen for a min then back to RetroPie menu) or freeze (Hard reset) after I select exit.
On 4.1 things are better, takes about 3-4 mins then black screen then RetroPie menu)
Or is that just the way its meant to be?
edit: tbh I havent really looked too much into it as I dont really use Kodi all that much.
-
@DigitalMonkey No, but I don't want to hijack this thread! Start a new topic.
-
@DigitalMonkey Of course that is not normal and is mostly likely the result of something (addons/builds/whatever) you installed in it. It takes only a couple of seconds to exit. This update won't solve your issue, unless you write the image to an SD card, and install Kodi (clean).
If you want help on your issue, open a new thread, with all the info asked in "read this first".@BuZz Is there any specific reason why you are already at kernel 4.9, since in Raspbian repos they are still using 4.4 ? Not criticizing or something just want to know the reasons.
-
@Rascas raspbian is at kernel 4.9 now. Unless I'm having an old age moment

@BuZz Not in the repos (packaged), only if you are using rpi-update ;) And using rpi-update is generally considered unstable. But that shouldn't be a problem, although I didn't test it with emulators. I just wanted to know if you did this to include/fix some gamepad driver or something like it. And thanks for your work :D
-
@Rascas Good catch. 4.4.50 at the minute.

too bad we still can't downgrade kodi to 16.
Kodi 17 just doesn't work good with builds. so many addons are disabled when installing. 16 on the other hand works perfectly. -
@pattaboy That's because "builds" are bloated heaps of crap. Start from a clean install and add what you need. That is the best Kodi advice you will ever get.
You CAN downgrade to 16.1 Jarvis, but can we stop posting about fecking Kodi here! Start a new thread if you have an issue! -
I'd like to know more about the USB rom service. I use the current setup to keep all my roms on an external drive and it seems to be working well, is there a change to how this will work?
-
@ghrayfahx I'm on 4.1.19 and reading ROMs from a USB drive works well. I think this is just a note about the upgrade from the 4.1 base image which is now quite a few months and iterations of RetroPie old.

Wheezy support removed.
(sorry, couldn't resist)
-
@Lyle_JP I don't know if it's a cultural thing or an age gap thing, but I have no idea who that is or what the joke is.

@Lyle_JP, @obsidianspider: Ahh, so both a cultural and age gap thing then. Good to know. Cheers.

The image is built based on the last Raspbian Lite image, so I may have just imagined being on 4.9 on another system I was testing. My bad - certainly no rpi-update is run anyway.
[edit] unless the last raspbian lite has an unpackaged newer kernel - which could be possible since they pushed out a quick zero w fix
[edit] nope, it's just my memory - images are definitely 4.4.50 as has been mentioned. will edit first post.

Downloaded the new image, went to install the Virtualboy emulator.... but can't seem to find it anywhere.
