IAGL has two approaches: RetroPlayer (emulators build into Kodi) and RetroArch (an external emulator frontend).

By default, IAGL uses RetroPlayer. However, the Kodi version of Flatpak doesn't come with emulators, unfortunately. This is because they're binary add-ons, and with some platforms (flatpak, webos, ios) we have to build all add-ons that we ship into the package. I think there's an extension mechanism for Flatpak, which we'd have to adopt.

Instead, personally, I compile Kodi from source on the RPi 4/5. That way I can also compile the emualtors and use them in Kodi.

You can also configure IAGL to use RetroArch, which adds a little bit of friction because it's an external process but works for a lot of people.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

I understood there is no emulators on Flatpak that why I want to use retroarch.

I configured IAGL to use retroarch with this path : /run/host/bin/retroarch

The problem is retroarch is not started by IAGL and I have this log error : "error <general>: IAGL: Launcher None is unknown, defauling to RETROPLAYER"

Do you know why IAGL use "Launcher None" instead of Retroarch ? A configuration problem ?

Thank you

Hi all,

I'm trying to play DOS game via IAGL, but I can't get it working. If I use DOS Box, it crash right after launch (even if I run it directly via DosBox icon). The log is same as tommy32 posts before. If I use DosBox Pure, it launch, but the keyboard is working strange (some keys are not working, some doing different things, like open Kodi menu). I found that this is caused by focus on Kodi, not on Dos Box, but there is only solution for RetroArch and I'm using Retroplayer. Below is my setup:

Homatics Box R Plus 4K with Android TV
Kodi 21.1 Omega
IAGL (latest version)
DosBox (latest version)
DosBox Pure (latest version)

Did someone solve any of these issues? I'm trying to solve it few days, but I'm stuck.

Thank you in advace for any hint.

Having some trouble with initial setup. I’m running osmc with kodi 21 on a raspberry pi 3b+. I downloaded the zip file for IAGL, installed from zip, installed from repository and navigated to the Zach morris repository, installed IAGL, and saw a list of dependencies to be installed. Hit OK and then saw “failed to install a dependency”. Log file: https://paste.kodi.tv/yovuvarabu

Not seeing IAGL in the video add ons or games menu.

The log shows that script.module.infotagger is missing. I pinged the developer to see if it should be available in the official repo.

In the mean time, you can add his repo directly, which should provide the add-on:

I've confirmed that the add-on is in the official repo: https://kodi.tv/addons/omega/script.module.infotagger/ . Not sure why it's saying not found.

Thanks. I spent a chunk of time manually downloading zip files from github repos and trying to "install from zip" that way, which wasn't working, and then I realized the way to do it was to go to this "dependencies" menu when trying to install the IAGL add-on, then click into each dependency where the minimum version was not met.

I got the IAGL add-on to install successfully and went through the setup wizard. I can browse games, but when I click "launch" on any of them, I get an error (happened with at least 5 games across 3 platforms). In some cases, the error was "download request exception. See Kodi Log." In others, it was "this game isn't compatible with any available emulators".

I saw an option in the setup wizard to log in with an Internet Archive account and a message that some game lists wouldn't work unless I log in. However I don't have an Internet Archive account, and when I tried to create one, https://archive.org/account/signup was just redirecting to the login page, and clicking "sign up" from there never loaded the signup page. Also https://help.archive.org/ is timing out.

I use lcdsmartie with kodi. It show every item Im browsing, categories, movies, music, add ons. And inside the add ons or categories I get every item name while browsing a list.

On IAGL is completely mute, I got nothing. Even standing on an addon icon it show the add on name, on IAGL even that is empty. Any ideas?

There are other addons with some hit and miss, some items doesnt show on lcd screen, but iagl doesnt show anything.
