      @darky2003 I would suggest that you familiarize yourself with a boom to a minimal. That is the base that is used with the xu4 per what is supported by odroid themselves. It leverages a boot ini file rather than a config file like the raspberry boards if you're familiar with those.

        OK so it looks like this ISN'T working on EMMC. I just tried it on a EMMC and it loads the boot up screen fir a couple of seconds then goes to a black screen where it sits there. I just tried XU4-ORA-Base-RetroPie4.3.8-Public-v1.img. Any one else getting the same?

            Having a little trouble with 4.3.9 v1.1 image

            according to the change log point #5 "N64 LR-Mupen as default with exception to a few titles that are set to LR-Parallel when identified as a more pleasurable experience"

            Where can I find that list of games changed? Moreover where can I find that file that to manually make its without going through runcommand everytime to verify what if Parallel is being used versus LR-Mupen?

            Thanks

                @nad_22 at some point its not our highest priority because we didnt make the case at no point did the manufacturer even think to consult us as to wether wed like to support it and since the release they have reached out to us offering us the case to work on but still expect us to figure it out for ourselves well support it at some point but were not gonna keep delaying our releases for that screen weve halted eforts for over 6 weeks trying to get that screen working and all its done is break stuff left right and center so sod it were working on more important matters like getting sega saturn emulation working and the screen can either wait or hardkernal can get off there asses and help us support there case

                  Yeah like nad_22 I also bought the OGST N64 Case, but I wholeheartedly subscribe to your ORA image instead. However the case OGST has developed is absolutely stellar and i'd love to see your team be able to take advantage of the LCD on the front. If there is anything us plebs can do to help foster communications between your teams I would gladly entertain some time to doing so.

                  Keep up the fantastic work.

                      odroid xu4 has GLES 3.X. yaba-sanshiro, the only saturn emulator that is viable on ARM, requires GLES 3.X. raspberry pi only has GLES 2.X.

                      i have already approached the dev of yaba-sandiro some years ago about the potential of a GLES 2.X path - they said it's impossible. it's not a question of money or the community - the pi GPU is always the problem.

                        I noticed that defragmentating the drive is a feature. From what I have researched, this is only good for hard discs. Trimming is good for solid state devices.

                          I'm trying to access the Discord link from the top of the thread, but, I'm being informed it's invalid. Any update?

                            Well, as the Discord site is no longer valid, I'll post a couple of things here.

                            I had a working RetroPie on just a standard ODroid image. I decided to give this one a go. That may have been a mistake.

                            First - and most trivial - is that the wifi.sh script uses iwgetid which is not installed in the image. This was easy to fix by just installing the wireless-tools package. Otherwise an error is generated each time a game is run.

                            Next, and most serious, is that the MAME stuff doesn't seem to work well. On the standard setup I had, both mame2003 and the trunk made (lr-mame2003 & lr-mame I believe) worked. On this one they seem not too. mame2010 does for some ROM's, but it stretches the screen. I've tried running an update, but, it failed on lr-mame.

                                @astal79 are you saying that there will be a next release? I've almost given up on my xu4 thinking that the 3 people working on a stable, RPI-like experience for the Odroid moved on.

                                  You haven't been paying attention then. Yes, there will be another release.

                                    Is this the correct place to ask that the next image include the avahi packages?

                                      Thank you so much for this. After trying to build an image myself from the instructions on the website and it failing at retroarch and emulation station I downloaded this and was up and running in no time
