**UPDATED POST**

Long ago we had no news from *Petrockblock* and this time presents a new version in beta state of the distro for retro-players like me. This time we have a stripped down version of *Raspbian* (from 1.2 GB to 610 MB) which has eliminated much of the preinstalled software. Let's see some new features...


  • Minor bug fixes

  • Updated RetroPie-Setup Script

  • Update of all components, e.g., RetroArch supports ZIP files natively now

  • Dispmanx can be activated or deactivated for each emulator individually now

  • The screen mode is configurable for each emulator individually now

  • Added Atari Lynx emulator

  • Added Darkplaces Quake (experimental)

  • Added Minecraft-Pi (experimental)

  • Added OpenMSX (experimental)

  • Enhanced integration of ScummVM

  • Stripped down number of installed system packages to a minimum

  • Reorganization of the binaries

[ Comments about this version ]

The first is that the *Raspbian* version is more optimized for games. Very fast startup and the detection of the *XBOX360* Control Pad has done with no problem.

We see few options on the menu:

  • PORTS: Doom, Duke Nukem and Quaque 3 (all shareware, but work without having to get the .wad)

  • Macintosh: It has not worked for me, you may need the ROM or BIOS to work.

  • IBM: DosBox (I would have preferred rpix86). To exit, type EXIT and press ENTER.

  • Apple II: black screen and you need to restart RetroPie.

  • ScummVM (see 1.7.0, 3 January, 2015): Perfect.

Remember that for other emulators, we need to add through *SAMBA* some *ROMs*. I tried several and all work perfectly and all the emulators recognized the joypad. To exit of each emulator, you must press the key combination **SELECT+START**.

What I liked is the resolution changes in each emulator to fit your screen perfectly.

Overall it is progressing rapidly and I think will become in the favorite system of many gamers.
