EmuELEC: Retro Emulation Kodi Addon for CoreELEC!

Emulation & Gaming EmuELEC

I’m using the latest nightly of Coreelec and have installed emuelec 3.2 addon version (not sure if there’s a newer version of the addon?).

I cannot get my xbox one controller to pair though. Dmesg shows me the xbox one receiver connected but it just refuses to pair.

931

Which Xbox one pad?

932

The first model as far as i know, the non-bluetooth version I think.

933

Will you release addon 3.5 version or newer? I’m still on 3.2 but everything I use works :slight_smile:

934

Can you try with direct USB?

935

Yes a new version is up soon :slight_smile:

OK, kids will be happy :slight_smile:

937

Its mostly emulator updates for the addon version, but still hopefully its better :slight_smile:

938

It’s not a wired controller.

939

Does the controller pair at all in Kodi?

Otherwise it seems to me that the wireless adapter drivers might not be installed in CE

940

That would be the logical conclusion. I’m sure it worked before. The Xbox 360 receiver that’s designed for Windows definitely worked but I haven’t tried that again.

I’m not savvy enough with Linux to check if the driver is installed, so any help there would be appreciated.

I have made an exclusive github repo for this addon, https://github.com/EmuELEC/EmuELEC-Addon/releases

As you can see v3.6 is there and should be considered stable, there is also a v3.7 pre-release which is more up to par with the emulators, but I have not been able to test. so install 3.6 if you just want to play and 3.7 if you want to help ironing out bugs :slight_smile:

As always, remember installation takes a few minutes, and it is always suggested to remove the old add-on :slight_smile:

Tnx, will try test version and play with stable one :slight_smile:

943

also just FYI, the add-on is now part of the CoreELEC add-ons, so it should be easier to install directly from Kodi :slight_smile:

Thanks, makes it much easier to install. Is v3.7 going to be pushed to CoreELEC add-ons?

Also I have the same problem mentioned in this thread about black screens with shaders. I don’t suppose there is any new fix for this?

945

Unfortunately the shaders are never going to work properly on the add-on version (at least not that I know of), it’s a kernel issue. I use a patch on the standalone to revert a change that CE has for alpha channels which is needed by Kodi.

Hi :slightly_smiling_face:

Is it possible to ignore EmulationStation and launch RetroArch directly? I kinda don’t like having frontend to a frontend. Since RetroArch is a reference implementation its interface should contain everything that is needed to run games, right? Is EmulationStation only an eye candy or is there additional purpose to it?

947

Yes, maybe you should take a look at ES settings :wink:

948

Where exactly? I couldn’t find it unless you mean manual Quit > Start RetroArch which on my box gets me back to Kodi (apparently some crash)

949

Long press on EmuElec Launcher Icon for menu, choose Settings and look at the last option :wink:
Choose “No” to get directly to RetroArch
