I did have my system dir set wrong. It now works on Mac, about to try on andriod when I get the tv back from the wife.

I have some tweaking to do on the Mac as it ran in the background and didn't auto switch to retroarch. I didn't think it was working at first. There must be a setting to run maximised.

I found this guide useful:

Nice - Exactly what I was looking for! Just one problem, I'm not able to launch anything from these unfiltered lists. It only downloads a 40kb file and gives me a script error - I am able to download/launch other Dreamcast games from the filtered lists. Looks like the URL it's trying to find to may have changed, as I tried loading it in the browser and got a "The item you have requested has a problem with one or more of the metadata files" error:

Im stuck in a loop where iarl just keeps trying to download the game whether i select launch or download...it tells me download is complete but thats it. It never launches...if i hit launch it tries to ownload game again...what am i doing wrong?

If the download goes very fast it not actually downloading. Playstation games usually take awhile. Make sure your archive.org login info is correct in IARL. It says to put in username and password but really you need to put in your email used and password. You can watch the Youtube links in my previous post to see how I bet it going. So far for me; some games work and some games don't.

Hope this helps!

All now works on Andriod now I've followed the instructions and downloaded all the updates and cores within Retroarch. Only problem that remains is that the controllers "focus" remains within Kodi and the controller is not picked up by Retroarch as a user controller so you can't control the game. A bit of a fatal flaw but I'm sure there's a way to fix this. Any help would be appreciated if someone else has come across this?

Same here, fails to open RetroArch, but restarts Kodi.
I'm using 32 bit 7.0.3.011 build from kszaq, and RetroArch 7.0.2-j07 from JoKeRzBoX's repo.

You need to fix the external command to launch retroarch with the ROM, I've done it on a s905x box, but I can't remember from memory now.

This issue is just a typo in the Full Dreamcast xml. I'll fix it in the next update, but you can fix it easily by doing a find all / replace all with a text editor:
Find All:

Code:

name="https://archive.org/download/

Replace All:

For s905 and the like, I simply copied the commands another user provided that he said worked. If they need to be modified please let me know.
The commands IARL sends to launch a game for Amlogic are listed here.

Edit: I think I see the issue, and I updated the command format using the format from this thread. You can try the new command database by replacing the external_command_database.xml with the new one from git.

Kodi log:

The problem is the wrong library name, when I replacing snes9x to snes9x2010, the game is loading.
