After installing XBMC for Android on it I was not quite happy with it, and on www.pivosforums.com, I read about a Linux version created by Hydra (Gotham 13.2) (who in my eyes is half god for making this kind of builds for free).Just install game emulators on your linux system (you will found some here : http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/200810...soles.html) and launch them using command line support from Advanced Launcher.
I am very happy with this, but it took away the ability to run Android apps, so also games. Now me and some other XS users are wondering if gaming is currently an option, for example by using Advanced Launcher. Of what I understand, Advanced Launcher runs emulators, which on their turn run ROM's you want to play (please bear in mind I am a beginning XBMC user).
After exploring results that google brought me, I think that most of what I read involves a Windows machine and/or emulators?
Can anyone put me on the right track of (casual) gaming on Hydra's build of XBMC?

Here you can see I also came across a project named RetroPlayer, which I also not fully understand, but there is mentioning about a Linux version...
Thanks so much!

It will do the job.
booting but also good

Also, into into your CMR launcher advanced settings, have you try to force XBMC to toggle into window?
Only issue left: Kodi still runs in the wrong resolution of 1080i ("inherited" from Win/CMR) rather than 720p (the one Kodi was using before the game was started)
