You can install kodi into retropie and have have retropie load kodi upon boot up. If there are no more benefits then thats okay, it gets its job said in RetroPie as KODI addon: And I guess there is the advantage of just using Install from Binary and don't care about the compiling settings etc. I mean you could go ahead and setup RetroPie on top of Raspbian PIXEL and then delete everything unnecessary via retropie-setup.sh. There is no gui and is just the base OS, just to run the bare minimum for emulationstaion and the linux programs like kodi or the emulators.

Are there any specific "hacks" or settings which make it better (since I doubt RetroPie has more up-to-date drivers and packages than vanilla Raspbian) or is it just the comfort of simply working and updating via retropie-setup.sh? I'm not really a Linux guy so I apologize if this question is uninformed but I couldn't imagine the downsides from just using a KODI said in RetroPie as KODI addon:Īs for your second question, to the best of my knowledge is while retropie is built on top of raspian, the devs stripped anything thats not essential to running games. On another note, I have a dumb question: What are the benefits of using RetroPie rather than just compiling everything on top of Raspbian. There are already binaries for the Raspberry Pi on the server, so it shouldn't be difficult to load them on the Pi, so it seems like good solution. So I asked myself if that approach could also fit the needs of RetroPie. Since LibreELEC doesn't really have an "os" (in the sense that you can only use KODI and its addons) I tried different solutions and came across Gamestarter-Pi, a KODI addon which startes RetroArch/EmulationStation and has many precompiled cores. Now I'm running LibreELEC Beta and I like it. I couldn't really fall in love with any of those configurations. I once had a dual boot between OSMC & RetroPie, tried Raspbian with RetroPie & KODI and also RecalBox. I'm currently in the progress of creating the perfect Raspberry Pi 2 streaming and gaming box.
