I have a spare RPi3 and wonder : why not a Retrogaming+Kodi box ? Out-of-the-box running is important to me because I have no time to tweak (but I can if I have to). So I'm thinking of Recalbox. I'd like to emulate the gaming platforms of my youth :

  • Atari 2600
  • Various arcade games (typically from the Invaders to the StreetFighter II' period)
  • Commodore 64 (first coding here 😉 )
  • Super NES
  • Amiga 500 plus
  • Playstation I

Q1 : am I at the right place and does Recalbox suport all these ? ... or do I need to bother with Retropie ?

In addition, I'm a (heavy) Plex user and I'd like to enjoy my libraries with the Recalbox RPi.

Q2 : does the included Kodi permit to use the PlexKodiConnect plugin, or at least the "official" PlexForKodi

More importabtly, I'm lost in the ROM jungle. For Atari, Amiga, C64 and stuff, I guess that Usenet will be my friend (just used to search a bit and it actually seams easy to find ROM packs)

Q3 : but what about Arcade ? With latest Recalbox install, which ROM pack should I look for ?
