I've fixed a bunch of input bugs. I launched another round of builds, they'll be up tonight or tmrw.

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):

Is peripheral.joystick present? Search a full log for "joystick". My initial round of builds omitted the add-on, but it should have been in the current posted ones.

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?

They work for me, both on IARL platforms and individual games. Can you try again on the builds I post tonight?

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

This should be fixed in the newest builds.

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?

I reproduced this once but now it seems to be working. I'll look into this tmrw. You could post a log snippet of this failure if you want.

MAME / Flavors of MAME - Couldnt test since it doesnt look like there are any available addon/cores currently.

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.
