I have disabled all boot text and all command line text etc. To answer a few questions – firstly, this is Raspberry Pi 2 only, I imagine it wont work at all on a Pi 1, however you could probably replace the various files needed for a Pi1 if needed? I would recommend buying a Pi2 instead though – its much better! Not meaning to tread on the toes of all the hard work that has already been put in by the creators and contributors to the RetroPie project as a whole, just wanted to contribute something myself and I know that if such an image was available when I first started out I would have been most appreciative!(and would have 7 months of my own time back haha!). Let me know if you would be interested and if there is enough interest then I will start working on it. I get terrible upload speeds of 0.7mbps so I would need the image to be small as possible! So, I was going to offer my setup as a downloadable image for anyone who wanted to cut out the hassles of getting it all setup but before I did I just wanted to see if there was any interest as it will take me a long time to strip it all back to a small size (removing all roms of course), to be able to upload. I have also modified the theme to show only screenshots per game and have changed all the background system images for my own personal touch, along with a themed KODI too. I have also set all the best emulators for Mame, FBA, SNES games etc so you don’t need to. It all runs beautifully and I have hidden all boot text etc. I have a dual boot setup and created an add-on for KODI that will start retropie and vice versa within RetroPie to start KODI. I have been working on my setup for months now and have finally got it all working 100% as I would like it. Not sure if this is really the correct place to post this but I’m trying to gage interest on something. RetroPie v3 (my build) + OpenELEC (KODI) v14 – Beast Build: Still, you can run it from a USB key by using the regular tools.**EDIT** – to save you time reading through this whole thread – here is a direct link to my images:

You can download OpenELEC 5.0.1 right now from Softpedia, but you also have to keep in mind that this is not a regular image. More details about the changes and improvements can be found in the official announcement.

Both project teams have conducted a major find/replace but if you spot residual mentions of XBMC anywhere please let us know," wrote the developer.
#Openelec kodi download update
The headline change is the update from XBMC 13 (Gotham) to Kodi 14 (Helix) and the big switch from XBMC to Kodi branding.

"OpenELEC-5.0 is the next stable release, which is a feature release and the successor of OpenELEC-4.2. If you do find XBMC mentioned anywhere, be sure to tell the developers about it. The makers of the OS have changed all the references to Kodi, so the system should now reflect this. Now that Kodi has finally replaced XBMC, the same has happened for OpenELEC. This is a distro and it's more than just the regular implementation of KODI. The developers need to take care of other important core packages like the Linux kernel or the drivers. It's easy to think that it's a piece of cake to integrate the changes made upstream into the distro, but it's actually more difficult than you can imagine.

The developers don't waste any time and they have been integrated all kinds of upgrades from upstream. OpenELEC closely follows the Kodi development cycle and that means that, each time Kodi gets an update, it will be quickly adopted by the distro as well. The developers have just pushed version 5.0.1 out the door, a day after the release of Kodi 14.1. OpenELEC is an embedded operating system built specifically to run the famous KODI (XBMC) media player solution.
