Hey there,
Not sure why, but I am unable to game in the new Kodi 18.0 release. Absolutely nothing happens when I click on the ROM files. I installed the windows version on my windows install of the same device and it works perfectly without any configuration. Is there something missing from the linux version that I have to install?

The emulators are not installed and I cannot find them in the repository to install them. In windows the first ROM I clicked asked which emulators I wanted to install. I installed snes9x and then all my ROMS play perfectly fine. Linux doesn't ask anything when I click on a ROM file. A notification shows up for a few seconds saying "working" but then nothing.

Ummm I looked at that post, I don't understand any of it. LOL
I did try installing kodi-peripheral-joystick and then launched Kodi with the game pad attached. Clicked a ROM and same thing...."working" for a few seconds and nothing.
I can control Kodi with the game pad tho so I know my game pad is working at least.

OK update:
I did get the kodi-games-libretro installed. Went to addons and enabled it. Restarted Kodi. Using the gamepad I can navigate to games and click on a ROM but still nothing happens.
