Lakka game emulator question

[The_Doc]

I'm thinking of putting Lakka on a old Netbook

Netbook is to be sacrificed for the project.

Question: Netbook currently has Mint on it (sole boot, ditched windows ages ago). Will Lakka on a USB drive overwrite Mint as the sole booting OS, or will I forever boot from the USB?

Secondary question, can I use my PS3 controller with the new Netbook/Lakka thing?

Apologies if this belongs in Video Games forum, I figured it was more Computers, Gagets & Stuff.

It looks like it uses a live install media, basically you can run it from the USB stick initially to check it works but within the "Live USB" environment it should let you permanently install it to a disk.

Ok

I'll give it a spin, I can always put Mint back on afterwards if it doesn't work out.

Thanks

How strange, I've just installed Lakka myself and was going to search for what controller to use.

Let me know how you get on with the ps3 unit.


With regards to installation, very simple. Boot with USB drive and it will check all is ok, give the machine a restart and then it will install. I've loaded a few roms onto USB as I cannot network share at current but obviously can't properly test due to the controller.

Edit, I thought it was but I am a year late

Couldn't get it to work, but my problem was making a bootable USB thumb drive, and I got no further. I borked two very decent 4Gb drives and gave up.

Sorry.
