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.
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 These will be outdated now, but may still be some use.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!)
