The problem is that if you don’t have any ROMS at all that screen does not let you configure your gamepad, which I think its a bad choice in ES itself, that is an issue I need to figure out, I am thinking of including public domain ROMS so that screen never appears.
ok, I entered a Rome and now starts. But when I try to start Rome it does not start

Emulator Output is:its funny there is no output from Retroarch, the only thing I can think of is that the roms is not compatible?
try a NES rom and see if that loads,
the snes games start. all the others do not
In the add-on settings in Kodi can you enable loging, after trying to run a game there should then be an emulationstation.log in the /storage folder if I remember correctly. can you post that ?
Here they are:

Emulator Output is:hey bud, updated the add-on from retail and it nuked my controller conf(!). Haven’t tshooted but an FYI for OTA
Unfortunately if you had an old version and updated with the new that has auto joy-pad configuration it will break 
you will need to set it up in ES again. sorry but these are test releases to find all these small bugs.
Weird, controller works in ES but not RetroArch (direct booting into the app); which logs can I review?

lvl2: Added known joystick Microsoft X-Box 360 pad (instance ID: 0, device index: 0)
lvl2: EmulationStation cleanly shutting down.
I’m booting directly into RetroArch; skipping ES because it was going horribly previously. This is where the gamepad doesn’t work 
Do you have a folder called “scripts” in /storage/.emulationstation ?
if not, make sure you are using v2.3.1
if yes, add this to es_input.cfg
<inputAction type="onfinish">
<command>/storage/.kodi/addons/script.sx05re.launcher/bin/bash /storage/.emulationstation/scripts/inputconfiguration.sh</command>
</inputAction>
and in ES reconfigure your gamepad, it should create a retroarch config.
Hi, i have on question about updating the “Addon” Release from your Sx05RE. I installed ES as AddOn over CoreElec. How do update this addon with your Release from March, 5th?! Install over?! But i made changes on the ES config, are they lost then?!
Thanks for helping.
J.
I do not have a scripts folder. I did an addon update; is the mechanism the same for this as a new install?
EDIT: Yeah, bummer. Re-configured in ES despite not having scripts; RetroArch is still broken 
Yo can back up up your settings and install over, but if the one that you have works for you you probably don’t need to change it. remember all these are test releases.
If you don-t have the script folder you are using an older version, you need to reinstall
It said Add-on updated. Any idea if we can fix this mechanism instead of a complete uninstall and clean install? I’m afraid I’m going to lose my save state (weather has been well so I haven’t had a rain day in a while).
Remember these are test releases, used so I can iron out all the bugs, once this is done, hopefully reinstalling will not overwrite anything. but for now if you REALLY need the latest version you have to back up and reinstall, sorry.
