As expected by the vast majority of users, ROPi 3.0.1 to 4.0 update will work by script, without the need of reflashing your sdcard all over again. We hope this version to be more user-friendly and easily upgradable.
- An EmulationStation RetroPie platform submenu
- Multiboot environment (runs from Armbian Desktop, available from ES soon)
- AV switcher with overscan fix (HDMI 720p, NTSC/PAL analog)
- eMMC installation tool (sdcard slot will still be alive after reboot)
- ROPi Wifi (a simple NMTUI run script, running from Desktop is recommended)
- ROPi Radio (retrogaming music streams from the web)
- Background music (add your own to ~/RetroPie/music)
- ROPi updater (new features, enhancements and tweaks weekly, translations to MANY languages in the works will come next.)
- Curvature shader + console overlays (for Libretro cores, press Select + X and use options from menu, overlay display and quick menu - shaders)
There are plenty of Retroarch customizations, like the unified retroarch.cfg, to make system-wide changes easier. You can still make custom changes in specific platforms/games by using the quick menu within game (Select + X) and the options Save Core/Game Overrides. Retroarch menu now works very smooth.
ROPi 4.0 will firstly boot to EmulationStation; map your controller. You can open the Armbian Desktop and switch to your preferred boot-type (EmulationStation, AdvanceMENU, Retroarch, Kodi or Desktop)
The classic RetroPie frontend, features background music, custom ROPi theme and exclusive menu options (inside Retropie section).
Libretro's own frontend/emulator, Retroarch is the heart of the emulation component. This option will get you a similar build of Lakka. (XMB menu driver)
Boots to our Kodi Krypton 17.4 build, with hardware acceleration powered by MPV player and VDPAU. IPTVSimple is included; enable it from the addons menu.
Classic Armbian Desktop version, with several pre-installed applications. Includes onscreen keyboard, so you just need a mouse.
MAME versatile frontend, supports picture and video snapshots. Reads roms from mame-advmame folder. Full integration with RetroPie platforms is possible and will be added soon (keyboard recommended).
