Looked on Google and it seems many Android users are struggling to get this working.

I followed the wiki, but when I start any game it shows up the retroarch config page.

Any suggestions?

Provide a log, per the first post. Ensure you are pointing to the configuration file that Retroarch is using, per the wiki. When you get it working, provide me some feedback on updating the instructions to make it easier for everyone.

1. I install the LiberELEC Community Edition build to my RPI3.
2. Install the IARL Addon.
3. For setup I get confused. Do I follow the (1) Basic Setup instructions, (3) Setup with GamePlayer RPi or (5) Setup with LibreELEC ?

GamePlayer RPi instructions say Retroarch should be installed by GamePlayer (but isn't Retroarch included in the LibreELEC Community Edition build?)
LibreELEC instructions say Retroarch comes from community build.

IARL Basic Setup says to define System Type - but "For Android / LibreElec / OpenElec / Gamestarter users, you don't need to define this value. That information is already included the addon."
On my system it is not defined - have I missed a step?
If I need to manually set this, what options do I select for LibreELEC RPi ?

Thanks for any detail step-by-steps. I want to make sure I'm not adding extra components to my LibreELEC env (eg. 2 installs of Retroarch).

Cheers.

The launch command that IARL is sending looks OK to me. And it looks like IARL is getting the required files just fine.
The command IARL sends is (from the log):

Code:

/system/bin/am start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER -e ROM "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.program.iarl/temp_iarl/Ice Hockey (USA).nes" -e LIBRETRO /data/data/com.retroarch/cores/nestopia_libretro_android.so -e CONFIGFILE /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.retroarch/files/retroarch.cfg -e IME com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME -n com.retroarch/.browser.retroactivity.RetroActivityFuture

Things to check:
- Ensure the config file set in Retroarch is set to the same thing IARL is pointing to, per the wiki

Code:

/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.retroarch/files/retroarch.cfg

- Ensure Retroarch is not running in the background before you launch a game (this is a limitation in Android), Retroarch needs to be exited before the launch command will work.
- Ensure Retroarch has the nestopia core, and the Retroarch settings are pointing to

Code:

/data/data/com.retroarch/cores

for the cores directory

If all else fails, here are the general steps to find out where the launch command is being tripped up, or where your retroarch setup isn't complete.

Let me know what the issue ends up being and how I can update the wiki to help other users.
Thanks

Quote:I did a fresh install of retroarch, with default settings, I installed the nestopia core and the game starts fine.
Other emulators still don't work. I'm still debugging to find out what's going on.
