Let's make a all in one media center with a Raspberry Pi 3. This is a media center that can play movies, music, pictures, display the weather, emulate old games, and much more. All you will need is a Raspberry Pi 3, HDMI cord, input method, and power source.
I got my Raspberry Pi 3 from GearBest, Click Here to check it out!
And if you like video's more here you go:
Step 1: Flash OSMC to SD CardTIP: Your SD card should be no less than 8GB for any RPi Image:
- Download the image from: https://goo.gl/S0FmC1
- Download Rufus from: http://goo.gl/IcwRCw
Open the terminal (do so by exiting OSMC and when the loading screen appears push ESC or connect via SSH [Username: osmc, Password: osmc).
First, we will download the installation script to our Pi:
cd /home/osmc
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mcobit/retrosmc...
Next, lets make it executable:
chmod +x install-retrosmc.sh
Finally, run the script:
./install-retrosmc.sh
This is easy the pi does it on it's own all you need to do is select binary-based installation. When it's done click cancel until your back to the terminal then:
sudo reboot
First, go to Settings>Appearance>Skin>Settings>Home>Customize Home Menu. Second, add a new menu button called games. Third, (optional) add a icon (the one I used is here). Fourth, in the ChangeAction box add a custom action, this will be:
System.Exec(/home/osmc/RetroPie/scripts/retropie.sh)
Finally, save your changes and test it out!
Step 5: To add Rom's to RetroPieDownload them from a site like www.loveroms.com put them on a flash drive and use RetroPie's file manager to import them. You also could use FTP if you have it setup.
Step 6: Install Pandora on OSMCDownload the .zip file and put it on a flash drive (download .zip file).
Then to install navigate (System -> Settings -> Add-ons -> Install from zip file) and install it.
