This is a guide on how to build RetroPie on the Odroid C1/C1+. This is assuming you are starting with a prebuilt image of Ubuntu from HardKernel's Website:
http://odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:c1_release_linux_ubuntu
Direct Link Here
Extract the .xz file with a program like 7zip
Write the .img file to your SD card or EMMC module with something like Win32DiskImager
Unlike the RetroPie SD Image, the Odroid image will autoexpand the filesystem so there is no need for that step here.
Optional preliminary steps:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -y git
Installing the RetroPie Setup Script:
cd
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git
Run the Setup Script:
cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
Note if you have issues while compiling modules and it freezes up on you, then you need to tell it to only compile with one core by running the setup script with this:
sudo MAKEFLAGS="-j1" ./retropie_setup.sh
All modules can be installed from the RetroPie Setup Script. First and foremost the two main packages you need in order for the majority of your system to run are RetroArch and EmulationStation:
- Option 5: Install EmulationStation
Killing X sudo service lightdm stop
open new terminal ctrl+alt+F1
- Option 3: Install Themes
- Option 5: Install RetroArch
- Option 5: Choose your emulators
- Option 3: Autostart EmulationStation
- Option 3: Enable USBRomService
- Option 3: Enable Samba Shares
sudo -s
sudo echo "manual" >> /etc/init/lightdm.override
To start lightdm on command:
sudo start lightdm
To restore your system so that lightdm is always started on boot:
sudo rm /etc/init/lightdm.override
sudo nano /etc/kbd/config
