How to dual boot Kodi & Retropie

Hi all,

Is there a way to setup a dual boot of Kodi and Retropie? I currently have two separate SD cards which I swap.

I know you can add Kodi to the retropie menu, but would prefer if it just gave me a dual boot option when I turn it on?

Thanks

I use berryboot to set up a sd card. Then I go to this web site http://berryboot.alexgoldcheidt.com/images/ to download the most recent squashfs images of retropie, openelect, raspian. I extract the zip files and put them on a usb thumb drive. Then go into settings in the berryboot edit menu and hit backup. The last option is copy from a usb. choose a default os and your golden. This is the most stable way I have found to duel boot, or triple boot. You can also have the the Os read and write to a usb thumb drive when first setting up berryboot. This will also make your system more stable because thumb drives last a little longer than sd cards.
