    • RE: A few questions before diving...

      Thanks everybody. I'm not in a hurry so I'll wait.

      So I've installed Recalbox and it is really as advertised : just copy the files on a micro SD card and it works. I've added a spare BT dongle to make shure that my 8BitDo controlers would work properly. The only difficult thing was to format a 128Gb card in FAT32.

      I'm now in the ROM and BIOS stuff? I grabbed full rom sets (reference fullset for MAME178, FBA reference full set, and the No-Intro ROMs, as well GoodRom fullsets for several missing system) but ouch... I end with thousands of games, most beeing forks of others. I'll need to figure out a way to (automativally) reduce... I'm investigating ClrmamePro but I cannot make it do what I want. I through that my ROMsets ware standardized, but ClrmamePro seems to struggle pairing DAT files with my zip files. I thing that I'm actually starting the diffucult part, afetr the flawless installation of the Recalbox.

      About Kodi and Plex : the desired extension installs and a sync with my Plex server is currently occuring. So I'm optimistic.

      Thanks a lot for the answer. So I'll wait for the Commodore stuff. There's no rush. With 4.1, which romsets should I download for Arcade ? ... and when should it be released, even in Beta ?

      PS : I've actually read the wiki (basics as well as avanced, in french actually) but I find it hard to understand. I think that I'll download a MAME.78 and see what's going on. It is the FBA_libretro vs MAME which is more obscure to me, especially wrt to the libretro romsets I can find, but which always relate to MAME... ;( I guess that I need to improve on that point 🙂

    • A few questions before diving...

      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 ?
