Question - I have an extra asus chromebox laying here and instead of slapping this script on, i was wondering if anyone here has successfully created a retro gaming system using the chromebox? either by using retromania build (currently says for Nvidia Shield) or using Lakka ... http://www.lakka.tv/

Thanks!

Haven't tried Lakka, but I run Retroarch on OpenELEC and it emulates Master System, Mega Drive / Genesis, SNES, Mame, N64 etc very well. The PSX emulator kind of works, but isn't perfect (the power is there I think, but the emulator itself isn't perfect). Works great with an Xbox controller.

I'm still on OpenELEC 5.0.8 but I'm guessing you can get it working on 6.0.0.
This is very much off topic for this thread, but is there a for dummies guide to installing and setting up Retroarch? Or is it like Linux stuff in general: try to get things to work the hard wayTongue I've got a lot of retro gaming stuff and would love to use the Chromebox for those needs as well.

It took a bit of messing around to get it working properly for me, but I think a lot of that was due to incompatibilty between an older build and the newer (at the time) version of OpenELEC.

The latest build appears to be http://openelec.tv/forum/128-addons/7840...by-tssemek so is probably a good place to start.

The threads I used for guidance were http://openelec.tv/forum/128-addons/6497...32-64-bits and http://openelec.tv/forum/128-addons/7153...ch-friends. These will be outdated now, but may still be some use.

(It has to be noted that one of the reasons I haven't updated to 6.0.0 is that I didn't want to upset Retroarch now it works how I want it!)
