Request for RetroPie build instructions for Odroid C4

mitu

I don't think the C4 model has been tested with RetroPie. Currently the C1/C2 and the XU4 Odroid models are known to work - using the distro provided by Odroid.

@mitu thanks any change that Odroid C4 will be added in the Retropie script in the future?

mitu

If someone with the hardware can test and verify that it works, then it can be added with a PR.

@mitu i managed to install retropie in odroid c4 doing this

sudo apt install -y git
useradd -mb /home -s /bin/bash -G input,video pi
echo 'pi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL' > /etc/sudoers.d/pi
passwd pi

su pi

cd
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git
cd RetroPie-Setup

sudo __platform=odroid-c2 MAKEFLAGS="-j1" ./retropie_setup.sh

select basic install

put in configuration/tools/autostart to start in emulation station at boot

and reboot after

It loaded emulation station fine installed a port Prince of Persia worked fine

Needs more testing though can you add it in Odroid docs section in RetroPie as work in progress?

Unless it's added to RetroPie-Setup, no.

Send a PR/several PR with the proper modifications so that the Odroid C4 gets detected and considered as a valid platform, with the proper platform flags attached.

Sorry whats PR

PR means Pull Request, the most common way for an external developer to send patches/modifications to a Git-hosted project (such as RetroPie).
