RetroPie as an Add-on For LibreElec/OpenElec/Kodi???
-
I want my main OS for my RPi3 device to be LibreElec, is there any way to have RetroPie as an add-on which i can select from the home menu at all?
-
Sorry, no. You can run Kodi on RetroPie though.
-
Ah ok didnt know, that any plans to add LibreElec in the future?
-
RetroPie will unlikely ever support librelec - it relies on a full OS with the debian package manager.

@BlockABoots You could try a dual boot setup. I using an openelec/retropie dualboot image I found online and it's working out great for me, or you can always just google "libreelec retropie dual boot" and you might find what you need.

Steve over at multibootpi.com just released a LibreELEC_V7.0.2 /RetroPie_V4.0.2 Dualboot build.
-
@0ll1 Nice thanks, but it would appear its only for RPi 1 and Zero devices!?
-
Nope. Check his Blog again. I use his Dual Boot build for my Pi3. The second link in my post should send you to it.

Hi all there is a way to have Retropie inside Kodi using OSMC with Retrosmc using a chroot
https://github.com/mcobit/retrosmc
might work under libreElec not a big fan of that distro

I use this and am very happy with it. The problem with RetrOSMC is that it tries to shoehorn the two projects together into one. This can potentially lead to all kinds of incompatibilities and makes troubleshooting either project much more difficult. The multi-boot solution is functionally identical, but the two projects are isolated to their own partitions and always run as they should in their own space. When you're in OSMC, you get an addon you can select that will launch RetroPie and when you're in RetroPie, you get a menu listing in Emulation Station that will launch OSMC. Once installed, you can simply update both projects to their latest versions.
