retroroot

A buildroot based OS used for running retroarch.

Prerequisites:

• A computer running Linux (WSL2 is untested but may work!)
• Docker

Quick setup

• Clone this repository:
  • git clone https://github.com/retroroot-linux/retroroot.git
• Build the docker container:
  • make build
• choose the board you want to build by looking in the docker/ directory for .json files. IE: docker/x86_64.json
• Start the docker container. The build will start automatically. IE:
  • ENV_FILES=x86_64.json make up
• Images are found in retroroot/images

Currently tested boards:

• x86_64

Other notes:

• See docker/env.json.readme for env file options.
• See make help for make file options.
• make shell will skip building and put you into the docker shell. Navigate to retroroot/output/${config_name} to build manually.
• Board files are found in retroroot/board
• Config files are found in retroroot/configs
• Buildroot patches are found in retroroot/patches/builldroot
• After building retroroot_x86_64_KMS_defconfig run make x64-run to start the virtual image. Console is found on the serial port.
• All defconfigs build.
