Ok... not working..
I made a backup of my SD card.. then removed the paths relating to IARL and RetroArch (both in the ADDONS and USERDATA folders). I then followed the online instructions for GameStarter. Completely installed it and then set it up to use RetroArch. I then told it to install IARL (which all it does it download the install script/zip. I then ran the installer for IARL. It says it installed successfully. I then went in to try and configure it, using GameStarter/RetroArch. Saved it a few times and tried to run the setup wizard. It doesn't do anything at that point. The online documentation for IARL says to wait a minute while it sets things up, but nothing ever pops up showing progress or completion. Since I knew it's had trouble in the past, I checked the chmod on the .sh files in the IARL path. They weren't setup, so I did the change and tried again. Still nothing happens. Checking the logs reveals that it downloads the ROM, but executing it causes Kodi to think it's a video file and tries to play them, which obviously doesn't work. I thought maybe RetroArch wasn't configured right, so I tried running GameStarter. It loads up RetroArch just fine. I verified all my settings for paths, BIOS, controller, etc. I then attempted to execute the core with the downloaded ROM in the IARL temp folder. It loaded up fine. So somewhere in IARL the settings are not correct.
