ATM input is crippled by Kodi's poor joystick handling. I patched things up for RetroPlayer Gotham, but there are still many problems.
A much better system is in the works. Effort that I could spend rebasing the broken code is better spent on the new system and getting it ready in the near future.
All my new work is based on Helix. When I get joysticks working, I'll apply the rest of RetroPlayer on Helix and chug out releases for Win, Linux, OSX, OpenELEC, and possibly RPi. Releases probably won't be out by the holidays, but I'm working to get installers out in the next few weeks.

Also looking forward to this, hopefully working on OpenELEC and my Cubox-i4!

I'm also looking forward to this. If not asking for too much can someone point me to the latest version of retroplayer (any branch) that is supposed to compile? Using Arch x64.
Tried to compile the link provided by airwolf in the n64 emulator thread but realized the latest commit was from 2 years ago, and it just didn't compile. If there is something more recent that compiles fine without much hassle I'd be very thankfull.
Keep up

this branch does compile, at least for me - under archlinux x64.
for n64 to work you need opengl via glx (and the n64 core compoled from recent sources).
the biggest problem for me currently is that the analog axes do not work properly.
in this branch i tried to get a quick fix but only thing i got to work was driving in one direction in mario kart.
i stopped working on this input issue because garbear is reworking it entirely, thus all effort is a waste of time at this point.
until input is ready i try to get further with all the libretro-gl stuff.

Hi there. I just learned about retroplayer and wanted to give it a try, but your link to the windows build in the op goes no where. Is there an updated link to give this a try?

Will there be a windows version aswell? I would love to test, the last version is already kinda old and a lot of fixes has never seen the windows world.
Also - it could be kinda early to ask this, but - will this new release be based on nightly code (bugfix 14.1) or the stable 14.0 Kodi Helix code?
