The RPi build has actually lost CEC support entirely (not just remote input), it does not show up under peripherals as it previously did.
It worked in the previous build as expected.

Could be an issue with the transition from platform to p8-platform.

I'll update the necessary libs and kick off some new builds

Latest Windows build has fixed my wireless XB360 issues however teh OE build still has the dpad problem. Whe you press up it jumps staight to right ,missing down, and like wise pressing right jumps left and move straight on to the next button.

This is lakka, it plays snes at full speed. Will Kodi ever do this? Or is the Kodi system dragging the cpu down too much?

I really would like to know peoples thoughts about this.

Also I am so happy the controller works and that I can play nes at full speed, so much fun. I hope save states will be implemented.

Thanks guys for the great work.

OurJermain · 2016-01-23, 16:37

I got a thought about a possible feature.

Auto connect with your trusted Bluetooth controller at the start of a game when none is connected.

It would be a big plus. @garbear

The Bluetooth connection is the job of the OS not Kodi. OpenELEC will auto connect Bluetooth device if they have been paired.

Sorry if I've missed this somewhere in the various threads in this forum, but I semi-regularly download a retroplayer build and use it on Windows 7.

The experience with a build + internet archive rom launcher is that most systems don't appear to have any emulator build for Windows (?) and those which do, the games often don't work. With a recent build, only NES games appeared to work.

At the same time, the retroplayer builds break keyboard volume control in the video player, so I inevitably have to revert.

Am I doing something wrong? Also, is there a wiki page somewhere with which cores currently build on which system (windows/linux/osx)? I have a linux Kodi in the house on similar hardware, perhaps I should be using that?

Thanks again for all your hard work on Retroplayer!

New OE builds

https://openelec.freestylephenoms.com/retroplayer/

You must remove a couple addons, you can do this via the kodi GUI or via SSH

Please remove game.libretro, peripheral.joystick, and peripheral.steamcontroller

Code:
rm -rf /storage/.kodi/addons/game.libretro

rm -rf /storage/.kodi/addons/peripheral.joystick

rm -rf /storage/.kodi/addons/peripheral.steamcontroller

These add-ons have now been built into the system because it isn't possible to track their versions while using them as an installable add-on.

Today i installed the new builds and everything i tested works fine (e.g. remote from TV and no crash by opening some menu or disable the airplay function.

Hi,

thanks for builds, but i did your steps above and now i got no emulator running. When selecting an ROM file kodi asks for installinng an Emulator and i choose one of them (i.e. snes9x) and Kodi tells me: Installation failes Check the log... so i did: Even my Kodi.log didn't show even more then the simple information: Installation failed :-)

did i pass a reinstallation of the emulators? in my addon folder there is nothing like game.libretro.snes9x or similar - so is the any emulator on my harddrive?

here is the logpart since choosing the file

Yes I am aware of the automatic installation issue. Not sure why it is happening.

You can just install the emulator manually

Thank you... I din't see this... shame on me Sad

Where can i enable savegames? Or is my setup not usable for this? I tried bsnes snes9x and snes9x-next an openelec-build - none of my games were saved. The games are on a SMB share and have been added to the Game - files on Homescreen in Confluence. Should the games be stored on local harddrive?

Saves aren't implemented yet. Database stuff needed to be reworked and saves are part of that.

I could easily create a binary add-on for steam controller support. It would basically be a c++ translation of this 300 line python file. It would read from the controller using libusb and inject the input into Kodi's joystick API. All I need is a steam controller to test with.

Has there been any updates for this? The Steam Controller is fast becoming my favorite method for playing games on my PC

Thanks
