Retropie SNES, GPIO reset switch how to.
Slippyblade:
Just curious PBJ, without going all ranty, what do you not like about RetroPie? You say it is a terrible front end - are you referring to EmulationStation? Or are you referring to RetroArch?
I'll admit, EmulationStation is not my front end of choice, I've developed a serious liking for AttractMode lately, but I don't think it's terrible by any means.
yotsuya:
RetroPie looks like ass. EmuStation looks better, but too much like a HTC front end.
Slippyblade:
But... I guess I'm missing something here. The RetroPie distro uses EmulationStation as the front end. If you are using RetroPie, unless you've gone in and manually changed it out, you are using EmulationStation.
Literally all RetroPie is is a prebuilt Raspbian with EmulationStation as the front end and RetroArch (LibRetro) as the emulation back end.

I'm confusing RetroPie with PiPlay. But still, RetroPie doesn't look very arcade-like.
Slippyblade:
Oh, I agree. I think you nailed it when you said it very media center-ish.
