I've been looking for an x86 tiny distro solution complete os, much like it is on RPi and OpenELEC is, my son and I are building a full-sized arcade cabinet and refurbishing another and want to use Linux and not windows on a micro itx mobo for our setup, all powered on and self contained one-button-system with cpo, we would love an image to test in our setup...!
-
@LinuxArcadeGuy There are no RetroPie x86 images, the manual install on Ubuntu is the provided RetroPie method.
If you'd like something you can just flash to a drive and boot from, check out http://lakka.tv

Hello, thank you for your interest regarding RetropieX86. My work, at present, is to create a DVD that works in live DVD mode and that, after testing, installing it on PC. At the moment, the work I have done, has been done for fun and as we wait grant me permission to distribute it. The logo, the name and everything else, as far as open source, may not be used without the consent of the copyright holder. Following the advice of Buzz as well as in respect of licenses and the people who work on the main project. I wrote an email to petRockBlog to discuss what are my intentions so that, as long as his opinion is not unanimous, I can not, under the circumstances, distribute Retropie X86, if not changing the name logos etc. My purpose, I must reiterate, it is to disseminate the work done by retropie team. On the other hand Retropie can be downloaded from github site to be installed on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.04. That said, thank you again for your interest and I hope to soon receive permission or prohibition to proceed in the development of the distro. Greetings. -
@Devil78 if you're pulling a "weird Al" (just asking because you want to be polite) that's fine but it's not illegal to use anything retro pie it's open source there's no copyright you can use it freely but like I said if you're trying to do it to be polite and honest that's up to you but it doesn't need to be done it's not mandatory because of the lack of copyright and the fact that it's open source
-
@LinuxArcadeGuy not correct - open source does not mean there is no copyright. The retropie-setup script is licensed under gpl3. The logo is under another licence. There are also licences of the components in the image to consider - hence selling an installed retropie image is not allowed.
-
@BuZz well then like I said I imagine he's handling it the proper way everything should work out just fine for the release author is usually what people do branches and other builds for other types of systems of their work look at a attract mode for instance, there's I think two people who do two separate builds of other operating systems distributions and I'm sure it's done with permission because they post it on their homepage.
We'll just wait patiently for the release... :)
-
@BuZz first of all I never said anything about selling that's a no-no when it to comes to emulation what's wrong with you? also the author of this product has no intention of selling it he'll put it up for free just like everything else of retropie. and to be honest open source does me no copyright because you can't copyright something that's open source, GPL3 allows for duplication and distribution and reworking of works.
-
The license says:
A software can be downloaded, used, modified and redistributed in compliance with the license under which it is received. The changes you make, provided you do not compromise the same license criteria, can be released with other license provided it does not compromise the components or parts of them are part of the material released under G.P.L.
Notwithstanding that, the undersigned, has no intention to profit from it, or to sell something. I like to have a system installed and immediately ready. My willingness to share it is only resulting from my attention to G. P. L.
As all my other work, be it software or artistic, (images, videos and music for videogames opensource) was released under the GPL or Creative Commons license.
That said I can only support the thought of Buzz that if I am not mistaken, in addition to being an administrator of this forum, belongs to the Retropie development team.
-
@Devil78 that's why I believe that you're doing the right thing by asking permission that way there's no dissension in the process but like I said there's no reason why he should say no so we'll just wait patiently for your release hopefully that's very soon I can't wait to test it out on our hardware in our cabinet :)

Nothing is wrong with me thanks. I used the selling as an example of other licence restrictions.
You are wrong about copyright. We decided to release the RetroPie-Setup script under the GPL. Software can be made available under more than one licence too. You will often see code available under the GPL saying it is copyrighted to the author etc.

@LinuxArcadeGuy The rights of the logo are owned by @petrockblog . The logo is made available under
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/It states regarding the use "You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use. " which would suggest that using the official logo to represent another site is not allowed so it is correct to get permission from the rights holder.

@BuZz that's why I'm very glad that he's doing it the proper way, if there's restrictions they're for a good reason, but in truth in law there's no real copyright for GPL or open source, all it would do is just piss off the retro pie creators and make them determined to find a way to remove the modified version from existence, but like I said he's going through the proper channels and doing it the right way that shouldn't be a problem but let's just wait patiently and get ready to enjoy an awesome distribution :)
-
@Devil78 Any word back on this?
-
@wmcclelion back on what?
-
@wmcclelion No sorry, i'm waiting @petRockBlog for a reply about this.
