New OpenElec build with added MAME, bSNES Mercury "Balanced", bSNES Mercury "Performance", Snes9x and Snes9x Next

OpenElec https://github.com/CharlieMarshall/OpenE...player-bk2 commit ae51b0cb
Kodi - https://github.com/garbear/xbmc/commits/...layer-15.2 commit 6e52a288

Issues should be the same as those listed in post 1, also the analogue stick on my Xbox 360 controller is not working for me on n64 games.

can you post a debug log?
I've just tried your OE build and analog stick works fine for n64.

EDIT: I used my legacy buttonmap. Maybe that's the issue.
EDIT2: Sorry update failed - testing the wrong OE version -.-

Thanks Charlie, your builds are appreciated.

Yup! Very much appreciated!
Can anyone confirm or deny that opening remotely stored roms on a smb share does not work(at least for SMC files)?

@grumpygamer check your other thread

grumpygamer · 2016-01-02, 18:49

Ha! I had checked only a few minutes before everyone else posted!

**a1rwulf** · 2016-01-02, 18:56

@charlie0440 I can reproduce the issue with the analog stick now.
Unfortunately I can't fix it easily and will have to start from scratch on my linux machine.

@charlie0440. Your latest build has broken controllers in game for me. They trigger kodi functions (like menu) rather than controlling the game. Reverting to your last build has my controllers working in game again..

Charlie's builds are the only ones that have the emulator choice pop-up menu show up when selecting a rom

Glad you found the issue. Shame its not an easy fix. Will be greatly appreciated if you manage to fix it. n64 is my favourite platform for retroplayer

I noticed something similar. Some, but not all, platforms the controller just controlled kodi, ie pause, back etc. This to me seemed to be for the snes9x, snes9x-next emulators. I also noticed that now that MAME is included in these builds I expected to have MAME as a controller GUI option (old screenshot but you get the idea).

I may know the cause of the controller issue. It might have been the way I build the files (or shortcutted the build process on the new cores, but saying that, MAME works with my controller)

Also the "get more" button on the above screen does not work:

note that controllers are also implemented as addons.
hou need a controller for every platform otherwise it will fall back to the default controller.
the default controller controls kodi, so I think you are right, this is most likely your problem.

It's odd that the controller works for beetle snes but not for snes9x as they are the same platform.

I was playing with the playstation reared last night. Some games work perfectly. Others the controllers worked through the menu and stopped working

grumpygamer · 2016-01-03, 18:25

it also works for MAME

See the Porting libretro cores to Kodi thread. Apologies for the amount of text, but section 2 (and the post it links to) should explain the entire system. This should help track down the problem.

This does nothing if there are no uninstalled controllers. Not showing an error dialog (or greying the button) is a bug, but it's difficult interfacing with the poor existing code so I might need some help on this.

Will try again this afternoon

See the libretro core matrix at http://kodi.wiki/view/Game_add-ons . The VFS column refers to the "Virtual File System", which is all sources that are on remote shares. If the add-on doesn't support VFS, then ROMs can't be played from an NFS share.

What if we cached cores locally? Then these cores would be able to play it.

The snes9x and snes9x-next cores seem to be missing the ../resources/buttonmap.xml.
I just copied the resources folder from the beetle-bsnes core to the snes9x and snes9x-next cores and they seem to working ok now.
