Hi to all,
I have a OPi One and I just have a question:
I'd like to use it as mediacenter but als like retroconsole. So, my doubt is:

1. do I need to have 2 sd card one with openelec and one with retropie? Or can I have one that do both? I don't know maybe openelec can execute retroarch with lakka gui? I know that I could use armbian with kodi and retroarch installed, but I try to find something that is confortable to use with a tv. 2. this question is related to the previous one: Opi1 has 1 usb port, can I use a normal usb hub or I need to use an hub that has external power? I plan to attach 1 hdd, a wifi key and a bt key.

3. where I could find a list of supported wifi usb and bt usb? (I have a tplink I'd like to check if it is compatible 'cause I doubt it is plug and play)
4. what kind of remote control do you advice me? a handheld keyboard? an Ir remote? a ps4 controller through bt (could be good for gaming and media)? or the evergreen smartphone with a virtual keyboard via wifi.

5. what are the "official" repo for retropie and openelec compiled for opi1 If I want to give them a try?
Thank you in advance and sorry for my noob questions.

thank you so much.
So either if I need kodi or retropie I need to burn retrorangepi?
'Cause it seems that no official openelec exist for OPi and not a trusted fork or community mantained build

 

what about the control? can I natively use an app for android over wifi? or I have to install one?
or do you advice me another method?
thank you in advance

That will change hopefully during this year with community build LibreELEC at first and after it becomes stable, also official build.
