@BuZz That's great news! I hope everything is cleared out and/or solved.

@Fruitybit Yeah, fingers crossed it works out. BuZz seemed to be making positive noises above too. I just love how this guy is trying to make himself out as an innocent victim AND a hero to the RetroPie project in all this. The reality being that he is a douchebag carpetbagger who stole the name and goodwill of a project he didn't write a single line of code for or contribute to in any way at all.

@daeks It's from reddit.

How about chaninging the name from Retropie to something more universal?
Xbmc did this (now kodi) and that's better for them because it was weird being called xbmc when it was available on so many other platforms.
Who knows what the future holds?
I'm using retropie on non-Pi hardware already.

WOW!
Just seeing this.
Looks like the guy tried to corner the market on retropie kits filled with roms and it backfired on him.

Anyone else see this on reddit?
