[OS] RetroArch - Debian OS image based on the minimal Debian (u-boot, kernel, and Debian from scratch) [v0.3]

Hi all,

I’m sorry to disappear recently, I didn’t use my GameShell for months, and I needed to concentrate more in other projects.

Hello @Pequeno_Pedrinho, do you still have the same issue, or you managed to fix it?

@arthur, Thanks for the suggestion, but I believe that the version 0.3 is almost a final version because from there you can update/upgrade any package using the official Debian repository. The only thing missing would be the kernel that could be released as a separated deb package. Apart from fix the bugs, the only modification I would like to do is replace isc-dhcp-server in favor of dnsmasq because I found dnsmasq is much more reliable to create the network when you connect the USB cable to your computer.

The RetroArch version is a bonus, and the intention was that people would take this lite and clean Debian version to create their front end/OS.

@THTB614, where are you trying to write the saves? Remember that the storage gadget function (the storage disk you see on your PC when you connect the GameShell to your PC) is read-only on the GameShell:

You can enable write permission on the GameShell if you disable the computer to write to it, otherwise you will have a big chance of corrupting your data. If you want to do it, you can do it manually, I can send you the information if you are interested.

You should be able to write in any other part of the system without problems.

Could you explain?

BR,
JP
