        2nd May 2016 - v0.3

        • Recompiled AM with new SFML so X is no longer needed (https://github.com/mickelson/sfml-pi)
        • This means runcommand now works under Attract Mode
        • Updated configs to no longer start X
        • Updated Emulators to use runcommand (https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/runcommand)

                    Great job man!
                    All we need now is mehstation and where all set. Two new great frontend's.

                    Remeh mentions Here that he is willing to support Retropie and that mehstation can compile and run without x11.

                      I was struggling to get controller input set on mehstation, and I think its saved in a db, so its harder to manually edit.

                        All I'm doing now is dreaming a little but if Remeh talks about supporting RetroPie all these things should probably be able to be solved some time in the future. Or it will take month's ho knows?

                          I tried mehstation out as well compiles fine but dead stop and controller config same as Floob.

                            @remeh probably could shed some light on that. This is way of my league.

                              new boot screen for theme set "phase-one" made it look a lil battered,
                              and, yes I've battered up all the logos too...... since these systems have a good few years on them

                              i'll remove the InsecureSpike part when i release the set

                              edit: thats if i release it! i may not fully remove it, i'll reduce the opacity down very low, so its barely visible........

                                          Thank you for your work Floob. I would like to ask you if you would not even install for Noobs, I want to create a multiboot system. Retropie with Attrack and Openelec. Thank you for answer.
