I know Lakka is still very early in development, but it does look quite promising. I am curious if you plan on adding a feature request to the forums. If so, here are 3 suggestions I’ve came up with since playing with it:
1.) Rom scraping capability: Having the ability to show the actual cartridge or box of a game instead of the generic cartridge. I know a lot of front ends have this feature,so it shouldn’t be too bad to add. One feature that would be nice that I’ve seen one use though is look up capabilities by CRC as well as by filename.
2.) Media capabilities: Having the ability to stream video from another computer to this machine or even video playback capabilities (similar to what xbmc/kodi uses). If this feature is added, Plex support would be a great option.
3.) Linking/accessing network drives for ROMS. Since most devices that will be using Lakka will more than likely have limited storage space, having an easy way to link a shared drive on a personal network into Lakka so that roms can be streamed over the home network and centrally stored. This may be a feature that may already be implemented that I overlooked.
Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to when the official release it out. It looks like it might be a perfect fit for the mini-itx (or possibly NUC) build I am looking at doing soon.
