Tamkis_NOOBS_Repo

Central online image source repository for custom NOOBS/PINN-compatible Raspberry Pi distro images that I roll from stock images.

Current OS images hosted by these JSON files:

• DreamPi DX v1.3 (v1.9 DLE)
  • 2 variants of image
    • DreamPi for Raspberry Pi 1-3, Zero
    • DreamPi for Raspberry Pi 4 and newer
  • Latest stock DreamPi image (v1.9 DLE) with various community addon patches included
    • BBA Mode for DreamPi
      • Allows DreamPi to appear on Dreamcast Now service when using a BBA connection
      • Wi-Fi to Ethernet bridge (BBA)
        • If the DreamPi is using WiFi connection for internet and Dreamcast is using a BBA, allows to repeat/bridge highspeed broadband connection to the Dreamcast
    • DreamPi Netlink Tunneler for Netlink (Sega Saturn)
      • Allows for web browsing, Netlink Zone/features, dialup gameplay for applicable Sega Saturn Netlink/XBand/modem games
      • Sega Saturn VOIP Guide
      • DreamPi Netlink Tunneler patch
    • XBAND 16-bit support (Sega Genesis, SNES/SFC)
      • X-Mail (cross-platform on Gen/SNES supported, not yet supported on SFC)
      • BANDWIDTH
      • XBAND News
      • Player Lists (cross-platform on Gen/SNES supported)
      • Gameplay (on DreamPi only, for supported games)
• XBandPi (OBSOLETE, please use latest DreamPi DX image)
• XLink Kai (NOT FUNCTIONAL)

These repositories are setup as such:

• All assets for generation/defintition of the image (marketing slide_vga source images, JSON files defining partitions and general OS data)
• Tarballs
  • Marketing.tar (slide_vga images)
  • boot.tar.xz (boot partition image)
  • root.tar.xz (root partition image)
  • These tarballs are stored the respective Sourceforge repos.
    • Tarballs need server/internet raw file access, and are usually >=100MB in size
    • Otherwise would otherwise require pesky Git LFS/quota support on Github

This repository contains:

• repo_list.json
  • Lists of tables to OS distros.
  • Contains 1 entry, points to os_list_v3.json
• os_list_v3.json
  • Lists of all distro images and accompanying data.
  • They point to various JSON, image, and other data assets online from the respective OS distro repository

Please read the PINN repository for full information on these 2 types of JSON files. General technical information on how to setup a NOOBS image for online server support available on the DreamPi NOOBS page
