After fighting OpenELEC to get my gamepads to work, I installed XBMCBuntu on my box, and swapped the included xbmc for a fresh build of RetroPlayer from Git.
My gamepads worked much, much better, since apparently LIRC was getting in the way the whole time. By the way, the setting in Configfiles/remote.conf that supposedly disables LIRC on OpenELEC does not actually work.
However, I can't actually run any games on the XBMCBuntu version. First I add a file source as usual, and select a game. No emulator is installed, so I'm prompted to pick one. I do so (picking Snes9x-Next, in this example) and am returned to the game list, and then receive a message stating that the emulator failed to install, while simultaneously receiving a pop-up notification in the bottom-right that the plugin was now enabled. After feeling very confused, I select any game, and XBMC crashes: http://www.xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=61120
The weirdest part is that I used the same source version from Git to build for both OpenELEC and XBMCBuntu. On OpenELEC, I could install emulators and run ROMs with no trouble at all. The only differences I'm aware of are the architecture, as XBMCBuntu is 32bit, and probably some library versions between my XBMCBuntu box and the LMDE machine I used to build OpenELEC. In both cases, the ROM is being loaded from an NTFS partition. Which ROM or emulator I use does not seem to matter.
Thanks again for all the awesomeness! Can't wait to get it working
Found it!
It _was_ the change in arch. It seems, when building from source like I did, I somehow wound up with the wrong version of the add-on repo, as evidenced by:
