Do you have any links to comments made by people in the foundation about the USB design or the hardware blob thing?

I don't particularly keep a database of links to comments being made some time ago, sorry... .

Do you have any relevant search terms?

I mean, you're bad-mouthing a few people here, and it'd be nice if I could check.

Anyone knows if this works with a BeagleBone Black? They mention the Raspberry Pi as supported hardware ( http://www.lakka.tv/doc/Hardware-support/ ), so hopefully it should run on the BeagleBone as well.

We don't support BeagleBone yet. However, if someone want to send a free hardware sample we will do our best to support it.

Well I have an extra board lying around but now I was planning to use it as a console emulator.... :/

Does PC support mean Minnowboard-Max support? x86 SBC.

Can this be combined with DOS support?

Lakka is based on OpenELEC. Does this mean that it should make as good a media player as OpenELEC?

For the Mac instructions (page 4, at the bottom), you may want to switch diskutil unmount /dev/diskNs1 to diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN The former does not work if the disk has multiple partitions. Also you may want to put that command before the dd, because most people will have to run it.

Thanks, let me change this...

Also, using 'rdisk' instead of the 'disk' dev-file is much faster: http://superuser.com/questions/631592/why-is-dev-rdisk-about...

No. We don't ship KODI. We do ship ffmpeg as a libretro core, but it's not accelerated.

There is a libretro version of the DOSBox emulator. If that's what you want. It's not yet in the default installation but can be added using the core updater.

I got RetroPi running over the Thanksgiving holiday. It's hard to figure out what version of the MAME roms you need to use.

I'm guessing this is what you're looking for? https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Managing-ROM...

That helps out. Of course I have the 0.149 roms found on the internet archive. That set doesn't seem to be on the list.
