Thank you for that. So I successfully downloaded and installed your 20.3 versions on my 3 devices. I have the x64.exe on my Windows 10 Laptop, armeabi-v7a.apk on my Amazon Firestick 4k Max (1st gen), and the arm64-v8a.apk on my Samsung Galaxy S23+ cell phone. I am using an XBOX One S Controller on my Laptop and on my Firestick. I am using a Backbone One Playstation Edition controller on my cell phone. I also reinstalled the build I used onto all 3. I didn't know how to check for the game.libretro version but Kodi hadn't yelled at me (...yet).
First thing I noticed when I loaded up Kodi with all 3 was that my controller inputs were immediately recognized. I'm so used to needing to configure my inputs before my controllers would work so this was a nice surprise. I only had time to test one game so I went into IAGL and tried to play Pitfall for Atari 2600. I was prompted to download the Stella Addon which went fine. When the game started, the first thing that caught my eye was that the screen seemed a bit too narrow than what I am used to seeing in RetroArch. In regards to the controllers, things worked great on my Cell phone and on my computer. However, the controls wouldn't work on my Firestick. Like none of the buttons would control my character. And the weird thing was that hitting the B button on my XBOX controller would close the game. Also pressing in the Left Stick would bring up a "Browse for Folder" window and pressing the Right Stick would bring up the window for closing Kodi. I know you said in your changelog that you "Fixed Android joysticks that report buttons as keyboard keys" but I'm wondering if for some reason that didn't work on the armeabi-v7a.apk version.
That's all I had time for tonight. I plan on playing around with it more tomorrow. I think I asked this before but not sure if you answered it, but do you have a Discord channel? I can't figure out how to attach pictures to this post without uploading the image somewhere else first and then clicking the picture icon and putting in the URL. I like to be as detailed as possible and send pictures/videos of what I am seeing/doing so you don't have to guess or assume anything about what I did. Thanks.
