Hey guys,
The setup script that I used to create the pre-made image is ready for download. It's linked to on the wiki, along with some instructions:

Post here if you have any questions or problems running it!

No problems but I had a general question. With previous RetroPie builds I was able to pop the UNC path into run (Windows) and interact with the Pi to drop ROMs. It seems like that feature was disabled on the pre-built image and I had to use FileZilla. I don't mind using FileZille but found the other way to be much easier.

I'm not much of a windows user but it sounds like that's a result of having the Samba share disabled. I did that to reduce boot time - it cut something like 15 seconds off.
Edit: If you want to keep that you can just comment out that bit in the setup script.

That sounds like the case and saving the 15 seconds on boot is more valuable than a feature I'll seldom use.

@Wermy Would you happen to know if it is possible to use this script or to build a script for Recalbox 4.1 (unstable, soon to be stable)?
Please do not take this as me demanding that you make this image/script, I was just curious. I generally favor Recalbox, but I'll install whatever is available. Thank you for setting up this script and all your efforts to make this sudomod project a success

I haven't looked into it... The important parts of the script should work, though (meaning the screen, sound and controls). I think. I'd have to try it.

Hey Wermy, I looked into it and the Recalbox download server is currently migrating (they are going to release the 4.1 update as stable as soon as they finish migrating). Here's the currently dead link:
http://archive.recalbox.com/4/ Recalbox is different from Retropie in that the base system is read-only. link:
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os ... e-%28EN%29 Also Recalbox lacks a repository and a package system.

Slightly offtopic but if recalbox is read only does it make the SD card less prone to corruption on unsafe shutdowns?

Yes, exactly.

Here's a link with reason's why to go read-only and how to do it in Retropie:

One of the reasons I use Recalbox is because I have suffered from sd-card corruption in the past with Retropie, so I prefer Recalbox's approach.
