I have updated my initial report by striking through all items that have been resolved.

1. The Windows installer will need some improvements as right now you can choose not to install game.libretro but to install game.libretro.nestopia (and/or any other libretro emulator) which will leave the installation in a non-working state.

I tried to exclude game.libretro by only adding game.libretro.* (extra .) to the installer: https://github.com/garbear/xbmc/commit/2...905ef3cR34 . apparently this didn't work

I'll try to take a stab at it. The ideal solution would be to only install game.libretro if another game.libretro.* addon has been selected.

4. When I connected my Xbox 360 wireless controller to windows while Kodi was running it froze. I can reproduce this all the time and here's the part of the log http://pastebin.com/c4Hi4EWi. After that nothing will happen and I have to kill Kodi.

8. Sometimes pressing a button on the controller doesn't result in any action and then I have to press it again. Here's a log snippet where I had to press A twice to go into Games Files: http://pastebin.com/z8GX8Jvq

Haven't been able to reproduce yet. I'l keep trying

Wasn't able to reproduce #4 either today.

10. Using "Manage emulators..." from the context menu of a game ROM will freeze Kodi: http://pastebin.com/EKahJX6K

Fixed by removing the setting

This has been fixed by my last PR with the updated addons:// paths so shouldn't be any need to remove the setting.

11. Pressing any buttons on the controller after having started a game ROM with Nestopia will result in controlling the player and not the game. In the follow log snippet I pressed A which paused the player and then B which exited the player completely: http://pastebin.com/HkpjeExP. Funny enough pressing ENTER on the keyboard works in the game. But that's the only key that is working at all on the whole keyboard.

looking into this

I'm still not sure how the whole controller configuration is supposed to work so maybe I just did it the wrong way. As mentioned in my previous post I only configured the default controller but not the NES controller when I tried this.

With some helpful hints from ironic_monkey I was able to improve the changes to game.libretro.nestopia, see https://github.com/Montellese/game.libre...0c52265d59.

Let me know if you are interested in this.

I like this approach. being able to use the build system's features (like patching) for libretro cores would be nice

Would be nice if we could first test this on linux and osx before creating a PR for it.

I also tried to get my NES30 controller to work but didn't see any recognized input.

If the controller doesn't support XInput it should fall back to DirectInput. This can also be tested with XInput controllers by removing this line: https://github.com/kodi-game/peripheral....s.txt#L113 (controller will fall back to DirectInput) . Does the controller get detected in the debug log?

Without any modifications I didn't see anything in the debug log when I pressed the buttons. But in the Joystick/Controller configuration tool of windows 7 all button presses and the D-Pad are recognized. I'll try to find some time to debug this as it would be awesome.
