Kodi Community Forum

I'm, pretty new on the topic, I read a bunch of threads, but there is still something not clear to me; I run kodi on a intel NUC with kodibuntu, is there soem way to integrate mame on it?
What do I need? I suppose I can get mame with the ubuntu package maanger, but then I'm stuck: how do I launch it from inside kodi?
Can someone please explain to me the missing piece of information?
Thanks in advance.

You need an addon to be able to start program from kodi, here a list of most popular :
- advanced program launcher (development stopped)
- rom collection browser (development stopped)
- advanced emulator launcher

So basically I can install mame, try to run it outside kodi, have some working ROMs and then I'll config AEL to run it from inside kodi.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
