Installing RetroPie? in OSMC

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/OSMC

The script:

  • requires pv
  • assumes you're running from /home/osmc as user osmc

Auto-mount ROMs? from CIFS

Configure AutoFS? 

sudo apt-get install autofs

/etc/auto.mediasys 

mediasys -fstype=cifs,username=foo,password=bar ://media/mediasys

Add at the end of /etc/auto.master 

/mnt /etc/auto.mediasys --timeout=300

This combination mounts //media/mediasys as /mnt/mediasys.

Reconfigure EmulationStation?

/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg using 

:%s%/home/osmc/RetroPie/roms/%/mnt/mediasys/games/library/%g
 in vim:
