Hi all,

i see there is an update for retroarch. Version 9.181.16. But if I installed it on my RPi 4, it does not work to start games via IAGL again... Don't know if I have to change anything in directories or anywhere else... Could anyone advice?

A rollback to previous retroarch version works without problems.

It does work now. I downloaded the cores again via the setting option of retroarch addon after the update AND i updated the cores i wanted to use in the retroarch addon itself. Wasn't aware of it, but when i look into Zack Morris' installation wiki it indeed was required....

I have choosen gamestarter addon as system and the path to external launcher the one I have mentioned before. The ROMs are downloaded to the IAGL temp folder (IAGL addon default)

This are my settings in IAGL for N64 games:

Yeah! With exactly this settings it now also worked for me to launch games via IAGL with external launcher / retroarch. Only difference is I download games locally to a usb stick. Thank you very much!

Ok, so I'm a little bit confused now... I have 3 possible retroarch folders on my RPi 4

• storage/.config/retroarch/
• storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.retroarch/
• storage/.kodi/addons/game.retroarch (as zarzamo mentioned)

How can I check/define which one the "active one" is to define it in IAGL settings for retroarch??

Furthermore if I'm on RPi 4 with Libreelec which have I to choose in the settings as system?

• Linux/Ubuntu?
• Retroelec?
• Libreelec Remix?
• Gamestarter Addon?

Set everything up but IAGL still not launches games if set to external launcher. Is the path wrong? (See screenshot):

Thx in advance!

You don't need to install/update anything in order this fix to work, it is just something I renamed in core package. Please before using IARL try to launch retroatch addon and load a rom, if it works then we know the issue is with IARL config, and it is not related to retroarch itself.

Thank you both for your Support!

I anyhow reinstalled RA addon directly from the repo (should be 9.178.15) updated cores with the addon setting and reassigned directories from "~/.config/retroarch/" (which seems to no longer exist, i cannot see it anymore in the LE directories) to "~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.retroarch/". I could sucessfully load and play SNES, Arcade/Mame and Dreamcast games (the only i tested) inside the launched retroarch addon. So this works! Maybe issue is related to IAGL config or maybe paths?

Thank you bite_your_idols ! Really appreciated!

Edit: tried it now but still doesn't load games in IAGL..

Which RA version should be used? The one beta especially for RPi 4 that was linked here a few pages before?

How can I apply/download the complete core update fix?

Exactly what you describe within the RetrArchAddon itself happens for me too.

Which older version of RA are you using that works for updating the cores? Would like to try that also... Thx in advance.

Interestingly adding games and running them inside the RA addon works for me, despite the fact i also could not update the cores...

Hi there, I'm on the RPi 4 and can't get RetroArch get to work on LE... As both as on the newest LE 9.2 as also on the previous version 9.0.2.

• I installed Retroarch 9.178.15 via Zip.
• I also set up the folders (Retroarch folder and retroarch.cfg in the RA settings).
• I use IAGL for searching for ROMS and locally download them to a USB Stick from where I load them.
• I unchecked "Use Retroplayer Cores only"
• I updated the libretro cores
• I checked in the retroarch.cfg if the path to the cores is correct. Should be this one: index - powered by h5ai v0.29.0 (https://larsjung.de/h5ai/)

But when I assign games to external launcher and want to start them I always get black screen or "Wait for IAGL script to launch" or something. Independent from which core / emulator I use.

When I go directly to RetroArch add-on I can select and play games. But if I hit core updater nothing happens.

Can anyone give me a hint what I can do to get it work in LE?

Sorry if it's the wrong place here...
