Lakka is just retroarch on top of libreELEC. LibreELEC forgoes the niceties of typical raspbian (build tools, being able to install stuff, etc) for stability. And what I love the most (and hate) about Lakka, is the squashfs, basically the OS is always only mounted readonly. You cannot make changes to it, which means you don't have to worry about abrupt shutdowns. You can cut power at any point--as long as you're not saving something, and not fear about data corruption. Of course I love retroarch's XMB as well.
I did not build rpi-fbcp from source, is libreELEC doesn't have any build tools (not even apt), and just copied everything over from the retropie build--which typically works. I did compile a joycon driver on raspbian and moved it over to Lakka and was able to run it without a problem. So the executables should be fine.
One of the Lakka developers did make the Gamegirl (https://github.com/davidperrenoud/Gamegi...r/Software), implimenting gpio display and wiringPi, so it is dooable, but I think he worked with squashfs and integrating everything into the base system, rather than working around it (like I am). Unfortunately, that project seems to have dried up, with everything I'm finding being a year old.
