Sx05RE is based on LibreELEC (AlexELEC originally) and it runs Emulationstation/Retroarch to turn your Amlogic Sx05 device into a Retro EmulationStation!

Please note that, Kodi is not the main focus of this, It boots directly into emulationstation with the beautiful Tronkyfran theme!

Features

• Ultra fast boot
• EmulationStation with video previews
• Retroarch 1.4.1 with Lakka interface
• Plug and Play external storage
• Supports ROMS on USB (just create a file names sx05reroms and recreate the rom folders)
• Includes KODI v17 but please note that it will not be the focus of this build, only major updates will be implemented.
• Emulationstation with Tronkyfran EmulationStation theme.
• Based on LibreELEC (Originally forked from AlexELEC)
• Most up to date Libretro Cores
• Pre-configured for many gamepads
• Samba server – File transfer from any PC client
• SSH server – Remote console access for debugging

Notes

• SSH login details are user: “root” password: “sx05re”. SSH allows command line access to your sx05re device for configuration and file transfer. Linux/Mac clients can natively use SSH, while Windows users might want to try PuTTY for their terminal access.
• $HOME is mounted on /storage (the second ext4 partition on the drive). All data transfered to the machine will go here, the rest of the system is read-only with the exception of /var (containing runtime configuration data).
• Manual update/downgrade procedure is as follows: Copy the snapshot (.tar) to the 'Update' network share (or /storage/.update) on your Sx05RE Device. Your system will automatically upgrade during the next reboot.
• Automatic mounting of filesystems is supported. Devices such as USB Flash sticks can be plugged into a running machine and will be mounted to /media, showing up in Kodi’s GUI.
• Comments and suggestions are more than welcome.
