Lakka-LibreELEC VS RetroPie-Setup

Lakka I believe formats its SD/Main Drive as a Linux filesystem that cannot be accessed easily from a non-Linux device. More info here: https://github.com/libretro/Lakka-LibreELEC/wiki/Accessing-Lakka-filesystem Note: Samba and FTP allow you to wirelessly move files like BIOS files (which go in the storage/system folder as it appears when connected via Samba or FTP, btw) to your Lakka system, and I recommend these methods.

I have an idea for you:

Endless hours of nostalgic fun, especially if you invite a colleague from the same generation.

If you're looking for retro, I'd recommend Lakka OS. I've used it in the past, the only real issue was trying to get to the BIOS/formatting the drive (but I was using a Laptop with fastboot enabled).

Plenty of uses! Install a modern MacOS with Open Core Legacy Patcher (https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/MODELS.html). Install Lakka and turn it into a retro gaming device (https://www.lakka.tv). Etc etc. Your model has a Thunderbolt connection so you can get an Thunderbolt enclosure + SSD and install the OS there. It’ll be a lot faster than the internal HDD. Of course you can swap the internal drive but with iMacs it’s always a hassle.

Check out https://www.lakka.tv/ is an OS designed for retro gaming on low powered devices like thin client PC's and rasberry Pi's etc.

Since your version is from before the switch from Stretch to Buster with RetroPie 4.6 in 2020, unfortunately you'll not be able to upgrade in-place. You will need to backup and reinstall.

That's the output of retropie_welcome, an alias added to your ~/.bashrc by the bash welcome tweak.

What version do you run that doesn't have a FinalBurn option? FBN or its predecessor FBA have been included pre-installed by default for a very long time.

They are still working on it.

Anyway, the error message I get points to line 235 in the splashcreen script. Line 235 and a little above plus below is this while loop:
