Builds for OSX, Android ARM and Android ARM64 posted!

EDIT: Do'h. Builds didn't pull in the latest commit. Rebuilding now.

EDIT2: Fixed

zachmorris · 2018-02-10, 00:52

I played with this new build for a while today. Here's some notes:

1) My controller was not recognized in this alpha build (OSX). It is recognized in v17.6, but not this latest alpha. Testing the controller on the same computer with both versions installed (using the same userdata folder):

Kodi 17.6 (works)

xml:

RetroPlayer 18 alpha1 2018-02-08 (no input, not recognized as an available peripheral)

13:25:00.057 T:140735224840192   DEBUG: USB Device Attach:Bluetooth USB Host Controller, 338690048

Here's what OSX provides for info on the gamepad for what its worth:

xml:
PS® Gamepad:

Product ID: 0x0268

Vendor ID: 0x054c  (Sony Corporation)

Version: 1.00

Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec

Manufacturer: Gasia Co.,Ltd

Location ID: 0x14100000 / 6

Current Available (mA): 1000

Current Required (mA): 500

Extra Operating Current (mA): 0

2) Settings work again for IARL!
3) Context menus aren't working anymore (at least in my addon) - not sure if Kodi changed something for how context menu's are handled?

4) Game systems that seemed to work well in conjunction with IARL (I only got about 1/3 of the way through available cores):

4DO - Worked as well as external retroarch. Note that BIOS files had to be placed into ..path_to_userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.4do/resources/system

Atari Lynx - Worked with Handy

Atari Lynx - Black screen with Mednafen Lynx, no error message:

13:49:56.040 T:140735224840192    INFO: ADDON: Dll Destroyed - Atari - Lynx (Beetle Handy)

Edit: Worked after I realized BIOS was required in ..path_to_userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.beetle-lynx/resources/system. This core did not show the "The Required Files cannot be found" window however.

FBA / FBA 2012 - Worked great with both respective game lists and cores (FBA and FBA2012)

SCUMMVM - Worked great - I think the reported error is resolved with SCUMMVM and they launched straight away

DOSBOX - Worked great - However for Win3.1 games, I needed to change the settings for the Machine Type to svga_s3, and for other games I had to set it back to vgaonly. There was no easy way to do that, unless you went into Addons>My Addons>Game Addons>Emulators>DOSBOX>Settings. Is it possible to be able to bring up the emulator settings from the quick menu that appears when a game is running?

Atari 2600 - Worked Great with Stella

Atari 7800 - Worked Great with ProSystem

Atary Jaguar - Worked as well as Retroarch does (buggy depending on the game)

Atari ST - The system starts, but I'm unable to get past the "Cant Load TOS file" window from the emulator, even after placing the tos.img file into ..path_to_userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.hatari/resources/system

Cave Story - Worked great with NXEngine

ColecoVision - Worked great with BlueMSX. Note that Database and Machines folders/files had to be placed into ..path_to_userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.bluemsx/resources/system

C64 - Worked the same as Retroarch with Vice core. Note that it takes a really long time to load the game if the default settings for 'Enable TrueDrive' is enabled.

Dinothawr - Worked great

Doom - Worked great

Game and Watch - Worked, but not with default IARL settings to attempt to launch the zipfile. I had to change IARL to unzip the file, but it worked great after that.

Gameboy Advance - I could not get this to work. Kodi gives me an error: "The Required Files cannot be found". Attempting to put the BIOS files into the correct folder: ..path_to_userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.mgba/resources/system, etc does not resolve the issue.
EDIT: This did work after restarting Kodi. I guess it doesn't currently check to see if the BIOS is available at every game launch?

Gameboy and Gameboy Color - I could not get this to work. Kodi gives me an error: "The Required Files cannot be found". Attempting to put the BIOS files into the correct folder: ..path_to_userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.gambatte/resources/system, etc does not resolve the issue.
EDIT: This did work after restarting Kodi. I guess it doesn't currently check to see if the BIOS is available at every game launch?

I'll keep playing and post notes. It's getting pretty darn good though Laugh

**garbear** · 2018-02-10, 00:55

Awesome! Now that the new input system is done, it's just a matter of hunkering down and hammering out the bug fixes. I'll keep popping out builds as I tackle your list.

More notes on testing:

The in game menu: Clicking reset option with the mouse or pressing enter when reset is highlighted not seem to do anything

In an addon in Kodi: Clicking on the '..' to exit top directory does not work the first time. Have to click it twice now. Maybe this is different functionality in the new Kodi version?

Game Gear - Worked great (genesis plus GX)

Master System - Worked great (genesis plus GX and picodrive)

NES - Worked in Nestopia

NES - Crashed every time with FCEUm, log just before it crashes:

NES - Worked great with QuickNES

Genesis - Worked great (genesis plus GX and picodrive)

SNES - Worked great (BSNES, SNES9X, SNES9X2010)

TG16 - Worked great (PCE Fast)

Lutro - Worked great

Magnavox Oddysey - Worked Great (O2EM)

MSX1 / MSX2 - Worked great after I updated the IARL default settings to unzip the rom (BlueMSX, I can fix this in IARL).

MSX1 / MSX2 - Black screen with fMSX. Even after putting Machines/Databases folders in the correct folder.

NeoGeo Pocket Color - Worked Great

PCE SuperGrafx - Worked Great (SGX)

Quake - Crashed every time, log just before it crashes:

MAKE cores take too long to compile. I'll do some special builds once things are working better including these cores.

Soon these core-specific errors will be lost in the thread. I want to start using Github Issues for this, and sync the wiki page with open/closed issues so we can track which cores are most reliable. Can you open issues at https://github.com/kodi-game? No rush, I want to get the main bugs fixed first before I put much time into core-specific problems.

Is there any future for the Windows builds? Or are we stuck on this version for the forseeable future?

New builds are up. Input regressions have been fixed. The OpenGL renderer is getting faster, but this is only enabled for Linux and GBM now. More platforms (including Android and OSX) to follow in the future.

It's not bright. I've only been able crash cores 100% of the time in always different locations. This will definitely need the attention of a windows dev.

My controller works with the new build, thanks. It looks like it was originally missing peripheral.joystick.

Context menus still dont work, and I'm guessing this is a Kodi thing vs. a Retroplayer thing. The context menus display, but nothing happens when they're selected.
I've asked about this in a seperate thread here, but it looks like when my addon runs a command via context menu such as:

python:
'XBMC.RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.program.iarl/update_xml/path_to_file.xml?tag_value=blah)'

It will execute plugin://plugin.program.iarl/update_xml/path_to_file.xml but then drop the argument 'blah' for some reason. Running the same code in 17.6 doesn't have any issues.

The double click '..' parent directory is still present as well, and I'm guessing this is again a Kodi thing rather than a Retroplayer thing. The first time I select '..', I get:

xml:


HandleKey: return (0xf00d) pressed, action is Select

For Android, the XBOX ONE S wireless controller does not work at all. There is no any response for any button pressing, even left/right. I remembered it works fine in Krypton and I played some games with it in the IARL addon. I use the controller as the remote replacement for Android TV, it works fine, I'm curious why even the left/right button doesn't work.

Can you try mapping the controller? https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Configure_controllers

Can you upload a full debug log including startup and pushing some buttons?

After configuring the controller, it works. For the main stream game controller, why don't make this working out of box?
I have a difficult to get any log. Since Windows 10 RS3, the adb always crashes when I run it. I tried several versions of adb.exe, including the latest one from platform sdk, all of them crash. Without adb, I don't know how to get the log.

The button layout of Kodi controller profile is just as the XBOX controller, but the button seems not working as the XBOX controller. I configured the 'A/B/X/Y' buttons and also map the 'A' button as "Start", the 'B' button as "Back", but they don't work as expected. For example, in the Movie library, I pressed 'A', it supposed to play the movie, but nothing happened, and pressed 'B' also didn't navigate back, but pressed 'X' button did pop up a context menu.

Working out of the box is the goal. I've put a lot of work into an expansive architecture for controller autoconfiguration. Only a few more pieces are needed until we have close to 100% controller coverage for all emulators. Without those pieces, however, manual configuration is required.

Can you follow the instructions here to share the button map you just created? https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Share_button_maps

If adb isn't working, you might be able to use Kodi's File Manager to extract the button map.

I'll include the buttonmap in our builds so that you won't have to reconfigure whenever you reinstall Kodi. Otherwise, by our v18 release in a few months I hope to have 100% autoconfiguration working.

I really appreciate your years of great work on this!

I don't know how to copy the file, but I can see its content with the Kodi File Manager. The file name is Xbox_Wireless_Controller_v045E_p02FD_11b_1h_6a.xml, the content is:

I've created a pull request for your button map: https://github.com/xbmc/peripheral.joystick/pull/139

I'll get this in tomorrow's nightly so that Xbox One S controllers will work out-of-the-box.
