Wth. I have been away for a bit not really paying much attention to the forums. This makes me really sad and in my opinion (yes my opinion) this is a bad move for LB.
Option 1 is imo the best setup. Most users go with SSD for OS with emulators and LaunchBox installed and then store roms on a either a large external drive or internal HD.
Hey nothing wrong with having both! I love my RetroPie setup. I take it over friends houses all the time so we can arcade up on a bigscreen and take it anywhere.
I was asking in the live stream the other day if there was a way to execute Plex directly via plugin from the platform view instead of having to go into the wheel.
Really cool set up and build man. I am glad I am not the only one who likes the idea of tying plex into BigBox. I made a wheel just for it but have not added it in yet.
