      Im just saying my galaxy s5 has more power then a raspberry pi. Is it possible for them to make a kernal so we can install it on a android phone. There are adapters for usb and hdmi to connect on the tv.

        @deltax5 no. Just install RetroArch

          You would probably have to rework RetroPie from the ground up to get it to run on Android. Just do what @herb_fargus said and install RetroArch.

          Don't sweat it.
          When in doubt, take a BYTE out of life.

          😎

              @deltax5 You get the same emulators (RA + lr- cores) on Android as on RPI, the only thing missing is EmulationStation and a bigger screen.
