Retroplayer S912

Cool, yeah Id give it a try, if you want someone to text anything I’ve got a spare 905 box here.

With an emulator for psp? That would be something - because currently in Kodi there is no emulator for it.
I’m looking forward :slight_smile:

That would be awesome!

I miss an n64 emulator, is that possible to include? Or don’t they run well on S9xx boxes?

RetroArch has a n64 emulator so it should be possible

Posted something on the argument in the How To section, as request for support on retrogaming with Leia:

I really have a mess in my head with retroplayer and libretro… The latter should the libs that have been added into Leia, but I’m not able to run any game through IARL as I’m missing how to configure my odroid C2 in order to make it work.
So… yeah, an addon which simply works out of the box would be highly appreciated! :slight_smile:

Looks like that got moved to the Help and Support section (probably because the How To section is for tutorials, not questions) :wink:

@K4yl0rd Have you enabled game mode in Kodi?

Matt

Yes PSP emulator could be included, but not as part o Retroarch but as standalone, but keep in mind with the S9XX is a hit or miss on what games run well.

Yes N64 works, but again since the S9XX boxes are limited in power not all games run at 60FPS

@matt77303 Yes, I did. And then, what comes next? :slight_smile:
Up to now I tried with standalone games (e.g., the bomberman clone) without success. I installed internet archive rom launcher (IARL) and again, I was not able to run a single game (tips on configuration for S905 are welcome).
I’d stick on arcade emulation (mame basically), as most of the old roms are quite small and the emulation should be optimal even on the S905.
When I was on the odroid C1 I had a dedicated microsd with Lakka and worked like a charm on the good old S805, so performance on arcade from the eighties/early nineties should not be a prob.

@K4yl0rd you need to change some settings in IARL.

I’ll have a look when I get home.

Or you can just copy some Roms to the box via samba, add the folder via media sources and then just select the rom and it should pop up and ask which emulator you wish to install.

Matt

Using the method from Freeaktab with libreelec 8.2, psp emulation works within retroarch on s905x (with ppsspp_libretro). Not all games work but many are without a problem.

@K4yl0rd

You need to go into IARL settings and change my system type to

Libreelec Sx05RE

@shanti

any updates on the add-on bud?

Matt

Nope, just that setting is not sufficient to lunch games on my odroid C2. If I start a wizard setup IARL asks me for the retroarch path (which I don’t have, I suppose) ; i don’t know if it’s a mandatory prerequisite. Anyway, Tried with the good old Atari 2600 (yeah, I’m a romantic), selecting a rom I get the emulator selection screen. I choose ‘Atari - 2600 (Stella)’ as it is referred as “installed”. Then I simply get a dump/freeze and the C2 restarts into CE. If anyone could Point me to a good explanation on how to catch kodi/CE dumps I would be grateful. I Tried taking a look at the Kodi log but I’ve seen nothing relevant so far.

@shanti

That would be great, I was using the retroarch-emustation from freaktab in LE8, but in Coreelec it stop working, I have a 905x box and trying retro player didn’t work on any emulator, but retroarch-emustation do work, I hope you can do something similar for Coreelec.

Still working on this, I’ve tried it already and its working, but still need to find a way to set it up as an add-on :slight_smile:

Hi Shanti, any update on this task? :slight_smile:

Sorry for the lack of updates on this, I am still working on it, but also RL work has gotten in the way :frowning:

But I am at a point where I can release a test this week, but there are a few minor things I am still not happy about (mostly controller issues).
