Kodi & RetroPiRetroPie on one box

Currently I have a pi2Pi 2 set next to my TV running (osmcOSMC) Kodi to stream from my "nas pi B+". I currently use my androidAndroid devices as a wifiWiFi-remotes.

Next to to that is my ps3PS3 used to collect dust.

I was wondering Ifif I could set up my kodiKodi box to also use the ps3PS3 controllers and play some old-skool snes games etc. and maybe even use the ps3PS3 controllers to navigate menus as well.

stateState of my SD card:

I have had no luck so far with the Dual/triple boot NoobsNOOBS-installers out there, from "smithers". Can

Can sombody point me to some github or how-to guide on building similar things?

  • create dual/tripple boot images
  • modify the guiGUI of osmcOSMC and the other OS's to boot into the other system so I can use a ps3PS3 controller in RetroPiRetroPie and a wifi androidWiFi Android controller for OSMC, for example.

I'm going out to buy an Asus bt400 soon.

I have been reading a bit (most useful articles below) on approaches but can't really decide on a stable one.

So in short: what is the best approach for running emulators on the same device that would be used as a kodi streamer. Dualboot or otherwise.

And as a bonus: can the ps3 controller double as a Kodi bluetooth remote.
