how do i switch between emulators? I tried the "context" button but it just gives me play or add to favourite.

When you select Play, it shows you a list of emulators that are compatible with the file extension:



If no list is shown, you have one a single compatible emulator. If you want the list to be shown, install more.

maybe it might help if it reminded you which emulators you have initially set and what other emulators could play that rom

Anything per-ROM requires a database. Kodi's database system is being replaced, and when that's done it will be possible to set emulators per rom.

Once finished to play I had to click the "stop playing" on the CEC remote (I tried the select+start combo like in retroarch but that did nothing)

RetroPie has documented the hotkeys for RetroArch: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Set...ad-hotkeys

Actions in Kodi use our Keymap system. This keymap for RetroPlayer is found here: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...k.xml#L157

So select+start should close the game. If it doesn't please post a debug log.
 

C64
I cannot see the roms

You must first install an emulator that supports .d64 files. Figure out which libretro core supports .d64 and install that.

Mame / Neogeo
I get the "this game can be played only directly form HD, compressed files must be extracted"

This ability is called "VFS Support". This is Kodi's virtual file system that makes NFS shares look like a local hard drive. If a core doesn't support this, you will have to move the files to your local hard drive.

Look up your core in this matrix.

Nintendo64
I tried to play paperboy but I get only  a black screen

N64 requires OpenGL support for the 3D graphics. This is being worked on.

SNES
I tried arkanoid with
snes9x - it doenst work
snes9x 2010 - it works (intro audio and effects are distorted and the game is quite slow...)
bsnes perf - it works (same distorted audio and slow ..)

Issues with individual misbehaving cores is tracked using GitHub issues. Please open an issue for these cores at https://github.com/kodi-game .

PS. I still have to figure out how to add a player 2 controller

Can you be more specific?

Hope this can help
I will be happy to test more if need

Thanks! This is a huge project. We can use all the testing we can get.    

Thanks a lot for your feedback, I see now how to get the list of possible emulators

Regarding the ".d64" files, I am suspecting there is something with kodi and not with Retroplayer.
I have changed (instead of the "add source" kodi mount) to a Systemd mount (on /storage/games) of the NFS share with the roms and if i ssh into libreelec and run 

Code:

ls -la /storage/games/c64/

i get:

Code:

while if I browse to games/c64 this folder is empty..
This does not happen with the other folders under /storage/games...

I wanted to try to use a systemd mount to see if this could have helped withe the "VFS" support issue and indeed I think it works
Neogeo and Mame roms don't give me the error they were giving before.
Anyway I cannot launch Mame roms since selecting the .zip file opens the archive and lists the content (a bunch of .bin files)
If i try to select one of the .bin files it asks me to select an emulator but Mame is not one of the options.


Regarding the controllers, I think I screwed up my setup since my problem is now I cannot get start/select anymore
I will try to restore the setup and then I will work on getting also the controller for the second player

One more thing that I noticed.
When I browse to "games" and then go to "addons" I always get an empty list even if I have the emulators/controllers/API installed.
Maybe this is the intended behaviour, in which case please ignore my comment ;-)
