RetroPlayer is the codename of a project to turn Kodi into a multi-system emulator.
The project was merged a month or two ago and now ships with Kodi nightlies. However, we can't yet distribute architecture-specific binary add-ons, so libretro cores have to be copied from my personal RetroPlayer builds. LibreELEC has solved this problem by creating an emulator repo, so emulators should work in Milhouse builds. You can enable games in v18 using the konami code.
So yes, it is now possible to play ROMs in Kodi without an external emulator.
