I have a Pi 3 that I use for streaming media from my Plex server to my retro gaming setup’s CRT TV. Gotta love that composite video output! 
I would like to configure the Pi to share its wifi connection over its ethernet port to my Playstaion 2. I have found several guides online for making this possible, but they’re all for Raspberry Pi OS. I’m running Rasplex, which is based on Openelec. Is this possible?
Its possible but hard. But to be fair it should be easier to make a dual boot system (or get a dual boot image) with rasplex and raspbian.
To be fair I don´t think you are going to use rasplex at the same time than your PS2.
I just leave the pi on with rasplex running full time. I would like simply enable network sharing over the pi’s ethernet within rasplex. Having to fuss with a dual boot system would be extra work long term since I do not have any control peripherals attached tot he pi. I simply use the Plex app on my mobile devices, and select the rasplex as the output device when I want to play something on that.
If you know how I can enable this kind of functionality, or what I could search for I’m all ears. Thanks for your help.
I know but its not easy, you need to export the program from raspbian with all the dependencies and build a plugin.
Then you need to create the library paths for the new libraries on the new locations and make sure its loaded on boot.
I have made some plugins in the past using that method and I know it works and you dont need to compile anything but I think the dual boot is easier, more elegant and it wont affect rasplex performance on any way.
Edit: you can probably use my work of the GPIO Power Button as a start for yours or even use it to boot to the other version.
