Title: R-pi OS options page.
Post by: Locke141 on August 05, 2015, 08:08:44 am

There seems to be an explosion of people asking doing R-pi project. The Pi has a lot of options of emulations with more it seem popping up all the time. It may be useful to a list of R-pi related info in existing wiki pages or just start one for the R-pi.

A lost of OS images with a pref descriptions of the OS would be be useful if nothing else.

• lakka (http://www.lakka.tv)
• Piplay (http://piplay.org)
• retropie (http://blog.petrockblock.com/retropie/)
• Diet pi with retropie (http://fuzon.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8)
• ignition (not released yet) (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1717505434/ignition-a-social-retro-gaming-os-for-the-raspberr)

A list of know Front ends that work on the R-Pi would be nice as well.

• Attract-Mode (http://attractmode.org)
     see this (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=223.0)
• emulation station (http://emulationstation.org/index.html#homeemulationstation)
     see this (http://emulationstation.org/gettingstarted.html#install_rpi_standalone)
• wah!cade (http://www.anti-particle.com/wahcade.shtml)
      see this (http://wahki.mameau.com/index.php?title=Wah!Cade:Installation)

This looks like a good idea that could develop into a good wiki page -- started a thread here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,147357.0.html) in the RasPi forum to consolidate input and opinions since options appear to be rapidly developing.   ;D

Anyone have a suggestion where this info would fit into the branching "tree" structure of the wiki as opposed to just making an orphan page that is hard to find?

There doesn't appear to be a category for computers or dev boards in Main Page (http://newwiki.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?title=Main_Page) list of Portal pages.
