https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I6N4ocQxNH-PhAUYzS8f-6PA_lkmCLeq
Important information:
* The password of the user pi is left to default (raspberry)
* The Wi-Fi has not been disabled
* No overclocking has been configured in /boot/config.txt
* No controller has been configured in mame.ini
Let me know how your appreciation of the system!

I haven't tried your img, but if you allow me to share my experience :
- sharibg an image of a sd card can be risky as most cards thay say 32GB don't have the same size, so the flashing fails
- there is a raspbian image maker that you can very easily customize. This would be a great improvement. See https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen

:o indeed - no, I'm using Armbian_20.02.7_Odroidxu4_buster_current_5.4.28_minimal.img
No idea how to add that feature as of yet...

The so may bot be in the search path listed in the mesa error, but the file may indeed exist. Find it, then symlink it to one of the paths listed

I agree that that flashing will fail if the SD Card is smaller than 32 GB in capacity. I just did a quick image with dd and then I compressed it.
I will use a more elaborate imaging solution to make let's say a 8 GB image so it could fit on the vast majority of the SD Cards. The 3rd partition (data) may then be expanded with a utility like gparted or similar.

You can find some tools that can trim down a partition or image to almost the bare necessary. Some distros (like raspbian) have a script that can resize the / partition to extend it to the full capacity. This could be a better idea than having a second partition that require some tools to edit partitions. Not all people are comfortable with this

I published a new 8 GB version of the image (see the original post of the topic).
In the next version, I will automate the resizing of /data (using the same principle from Raspbian with expanding the root filesystem).
