I'm not sure what you mean. I see Game Addons available in the Kodi Repository. If you're using Linux, then you can either install them from the official ppa, or compile them, or use an unofficial repository.
I'm on 18.4 on an android system but I'm missing the emulator section in game addons repo. When I want to play a psx game with kodi retro player it gives an error saying; failed to play a game, this game isn't compatible with any available emulators. I can't install any emulators from the kodi repo

I just checked on a fresh install of Kodi 18.4 on Android and see Emulators in the official Kodi repository. Installed Kodi from the play store.
Is it possible to define the location of download cache? I have small storage and want to use my nas as storage.

Strange, thanks for checking. I think I'm going to do a clean install, maybe that helps.
Hi, thanks for the great add-on. I have pretty much got everything i wanted except for one thing - bsnes hd widescreen. I have retroarch set to bsnes hd, but it doesn't have the widescreen hack.
I've tried to set "F:\bsnes-hd_beta_windows\bsnes-hd_beta.exe" "%ROM_PATH%" (and other variants) to a manual input command, but it wont work. Am i doing something wrong or is it just not supported atm?
It would be awesome if anyone could help
Hello zachmorris is possible to add more games from Sega dreamcast on Internet archive Game launcher here is Playlist
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command Donald Duck - Goin' Quackers Spider-Man
I'm having an issue where retroarch launches fine but behind Kodi. Is this a common problem with an easy fix? Thanks.
Hello,
I had some issues with IAGL and Kodi.
More precisely, Kodi wouldn't completely close and the applaunch.sh process inherited the 9777 UDP port (kodi remote control port) because it is launched from Kodi, even if Kodi itself already exited.
So restarting Kodi would trigger an error about the Remote control service (because the port 9777 was already open by the bash process).
I have a solution though: instead of exiting Kodi and restarting it, I suspend and resume Kodi processes.
Here is my modified $HOME/.kodi/addons/plugin.program.iagl/resources/bin/applaunch.sh (I stripped everything not Linux, but feel free to improve and adapt it):
php:
#!/usr/bin/bash
# App Launch script - Exit Kodi to launch another program
# Updated by zachmorris for use with IAGL
# This script will try to exit Kodi first via JSONRPC, then a normal shutdown if the first attempt fails, then a hard shutdown if the second attempt fails
LOGFILE=$HOME/.config/retroarch/log.txt
# Check for agruments
if [ -z "$*" ]; then
echo "No arguments provided." >> $LOGFILE
echo "Usage:" >> $LOGFILE
echo "applaunch.sh [/path/to/]executable [arguments]" >> $LOGFILE
exit
fi
JSON_RPC_NOTIFICATION=$(curl -s --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "GUI.ShowNotification", "params": {"title": "Please Wait", "message": "Running IAGL Launch Script" }, "id":1}' -H 'content-type: application/json;' --user myuser:mypassword http://127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc) >> $LOGFILE
KODI_PID_LINUX_X11=$(ps -A | grep [k]odi-x11 | head -1 | awk '{print $1}')
KODI_PID_LINUX=$(ps -A | grep [k]odi | head -1 | awk '{print $1}')
echo "KODI_PID_LINUX_X11 = $KODI_PID_LINUX_X11" >> $LOGFILE
echo "KODI_PID_LINUX = $KODI_PID_LINUX" >> $LOGFILE
#Sleep to let Kodi write to log
sleep 1
#Suspend Kodi
if ! [ -z $KODI_PID_LINUX_X11 ]
then
echo "Suspending Kodi..." >> $LOGFILE
kill -STOP $KODI_PID_LINUX_X11
kill -STOP $KODI_PID_LINUX
echo "Kodi suspended!" >> $LOGFILE
fi
#End Suspend Kodi
# Start Emulator Launch
echo "Launching Emulator with command: $@" >> $LOGFILE
# Launch app - escaped!
"$@" &
EMULATOR_PID=$!
echo "Waiting for emulator to exit..." >> $LOGFILE
wait $EMULATOR_PID
echo "Resuming Kodi..." >> $LOGFILE
sleep 2
kill -CONT $KODI_PID_LINUX_X11
kill -CONT $KODI_PID_LINUX
echo "Kodi resumed!" >> $LOGFILE
#End of script
Advantages :
- Kodi does not need to close and still does not use any CPU while suspended, so emulators can run at full speed
- Remote control service is still available after Kodi is resumed

Thanks for this. I have noticed this problem. I thought the reason was some Kodi helper process wasn't started properly - I'll look into it further.
FYI, the 'Pause' option in the addon settings should do exactly what your script does: pause/suspend kodi instead of exiting it.
Hello,
I have a Xiaomi Mi Box S installed on a TV, some days I installed Kodi (18.5) and start to get started. In Kodi, I tried to play the so-called retro games (Atari, Nintendo, MegaDrive ...) through the Internet Archive Game Launcher add-on, but I came across a problem: trying to play the TV screen goes black. I installed Kodi and the same addon on a laptop running Windows 10 and there the games worked perfectly. I did some research on the internet and also on youtube and I can't find a solution to the problem, I made some suggested changes to some videos, but the problem remains. Anyone on the page with the same problem or any solution to the same? Thank you.
