RetroPie for OPi from Stevie Whyte

Fleder

EDIT: The newest Version will always be in the newest post below.

Hi there,

i am just posting this here for Stevie Whyte, since he is not signed up here.

Hi Guys, Here is my version of retropie for Opi. It acts just like a fresh install of retropie . All configs are untouched, you will be asked to configure a controller in emulationstation. It will then be automatically configured for all emulators. Refer to the retropie wiki for default hotkeys. It also has kodi installed using mpv player as an external player, this gives kodi hw acceleration, v-sync and no more buggy sound You can select kodi from the emulationstation menu. samba shares for adding roms are active and Bluetooth controllers are also supported. retroarch has been patched so the mame coin button always works. Made from the pubuntu img
you will need a keyboard to navigate kodi (waiting for a 16.1 version with joystick support) Have a look here for mpv keys whilst playing a video.

You can use sudo fs_resize to expand fs.

As usual copy the correct script.bin etc for your board. This will work out the box with a opi One and opi pc

Version 5.14 Beta 2 (armbian 5.14)

EDIT: 23/06/2016 Beta2 hotfix and img released (see below)
Hi guys, Alerino Reis and I have been working very hard these past few weeks on a new retropie for orangepi (RetrOrangePi). We now feel its time to release for testing.
It is now based on armbian 5.14 so we can take advantage of the faster gpu clock speed. It features the full armbian desktop which can be launched from Emulationstation.
ES and retroarch in framebuffer. Kodi in X11
Now that we are using a well maintained kernel we will be releasing future updates as simple scripts instead of full images.
Kodi has been updated to 17 Krypton (controller support added via qjoypad) mpv player is still external player for now.
Ps3 Bluetooth controllers, snes usb and xbox 360 controllers are supported out the box.
This has been tested on opi one and opi pc. other boards may work as well.
As this is a pretty huge leap, expect some minor or major bugs.

i hope the guys can bring a full clone of retropie to orange pi, i downloaded the latest (1.4) and tested it on orange pi pc:

- couldn't pair Nitendo Wii U Pro controller via bluetooth, could do that on Raspberry pi with 3.8.1 retropie
- the usb wifi module wasn't detected, i know this wasn't built on top of Armbian, but the wifi module was working on Armbian 5.14
- having kodi with mpv player as external is a good idea, yet it is buggy (mpv or kodi i don't know !, the player won't stop a movie once played, had to kill it through terminal, and even though i hit ctrl+alt+F1, i could still see the movie playing on the terminal ? how on earth i don't know !

i had plans for having an all in one device with orange pi (running openhab, retropie + kodi), but for the time being, i'll just run console applications on orange pi, the whole GUI / GPU stuff on orange pi are half baked

Hallo Fleder,
thank you for this Image. I get a Blackscreen on my Orange Pi Plus 2 after booting. Armbian 5.14 works flawless for me. So I wonder why the new retropie version does not work. It can't connect with the ethernet, so maybe the hardware detection does not work properly.
Could you try to fix that problem?
Best regards
Marcus

it's set to Orange Pi One. You need to change to your board's specific script.bin

Turmeric

How can I change the script.bin file on Windows. Is that possible? I don't have a running Linux.

Turmeric

Hallo alerino,

I managed changing the script bin. Now ethernet is working, but I still get a black screen after boot. SSH is also working, so the system does not crash completely.
Thank you for your help.
