Is Retropie for Beaglebone Black Possible?
-
I'm not entirely sure if this can even be achievable, but would anyone know if retropie could be installed on a beaglebone?
I would assume since a debian image is available, there might be a way to tweak an install onto they processor. I have downloaded the RetroPie-Setup git to the system, but I'm stuck at setting the __platform variable for the script to recognize the beaglebone as a workable board.
Any thoughts?

@GaM3r2Xtreme if the board has accelerated x with opengl, you could try the generic-x11 platform.

Thanks Buzz,
I'll look into that to make sure it does. Based on a quick search, it seems like there is a little bit of a workaround in order to get opengl to work, but I will see.
When the script is asking to manually set the __platform variable, is that as simple as:
__platform="generic-x11"Then checking with a quick:
echo $__platformAfter which rerunning the setup script, or is this variable hard-coded into the source somewhere?
-
sudo __platform=generic-x11 ./retropie_setup.shIt is likely there will need to be code changes to work properly, but I cannot help further as I don't have one of these boards.

Maybe change the name though. RetroBone? RetroDog?
