Based on ArchLinux, RetroRoller's primary focus is on performance to deliver the best gaming experience. It is an open platform that anyone can and is encouraged to contribute to.

network.sh - Boot in OGA and wait for Emulation Station.
NOTE: It's highly recommended that you have the ability to ssh in case something goes wrong! If you can't then you might be best with a more fully managed image.
This image is still under heavy development. Some packages include custom kernels and software built straight from git repositories that are still under testing.
We assume zero liability for whatever you do to your device - run this image at your own risk!

sudo pacman -Syu
Be sure to check out any .pacnew files created and merge them.
Lightweight launcher instead of ES. ES uses 5-8% CPU and a lot of RAM. Retro Launcher uses 4-8MB RAM and ~0% CPU. ES can also be launched from RL. Conversely, RL can also be launched from ES.
It also has a live updater to update packages.
To start on boot:
sudo systemctl disable emulationstation
sudo systemctl enable retrolauncher
To start on boot:
sudo systemctl enable emulationstation
sudo systemctl disable retrolauncher
PPSSPP doesn't have a native browser so unfortunately the only way to launch new titles is via ES. Once a rom is launched it will remain in the menu so you can launch ppsspp directly.
Roms go into respective system folders under /roms.
Bios files need to be loaded in /home/odroid/.config/retroarch/bios folder.

Will flash the blue LED when the battery reaches 10% capacity.
Extremely lightweight launcher that uses pretty much no RAM and 0 CPU. It's a simple round-robin script that alternates between apps. Good for those that just care about booting right into RetroArch and a few other apps.
So far we've managed to upstream the mali and rga userspace drivers into the official ArchLinux ARM repos. The ArchLinux ARM maintainer is open to merge my kernel package after he's acquired an OGA himself for testing.
