Is there a way to reset retroarch to defaults for gamestarter...?

I think you should ask IARL developer... Internet Archive ROM Launcher
In fact yes and finally Got it!
It's kind confusing at first, but reading this IARL reply at forum realize that for each "console collection", we must define at the context menu what core should run as external command (for each console-core). Maybe this little explanations could be added to your IARL configuration instructions for no future confusions!
Cheers!

Take a look over here: IARL Configuration · Issue #31 · bite-your-idols/Gamestarter · GitHub
That's the steps I followed... Im trying to follow description here. Games already on SD launch quite well from your kodi estuary front-end, but not from IARL.

Did you try to go back to an older build to check if it can be something changed lately?
GotIt... Reinstalled everything from a LE8(Official) Vanilla and Retroarch contols working as they should!
Manually adding ROMs works quite well, but IARL still confusing to me as I can not figure out quite well how to download roms or Launching them from this frontend... Do the "Context menu settings for external launcher" but still get an "External launch command not defined." Error at kodi.
Thanks in advance bite_your_idols

I am having also some issues with controllers in latest alpha builds, it seems to detect my controller as second one and it is impossible to me to control retroarch and games... I revert back to build from 0710 and it worked again... I think it is something related with retroplayer included back to testbuilds in latest builds...
In fact, my controllers are quite well recognized, even at bluetoothctl they look like [Wireless Controller] but retroarch do not recognize them as Sony Dualshock4 bluez. Could that be the problem..?
Cheers.

1- Just LE 8.0.2 and Gamestarter v2.9 for LE8
2- There is no Retroarch in LE9, it ships with Retroplayer embedded, a player based on libreto, so it uses cores as Retroarch does but it is integrated in kodi's frontend. I have created both Retroarch and Emulationstation addons for Retroplayer that work with retroplayers installed cores.
Milhouse build's are testbuilds for developers and beta testers, so you expect issues and bugs. I personally switched to L9alpha because of Netflix addon that is working quite well in current builds. But if you don't want any headache or struggling with issues/bugs I recommend you to stay in LE8 until LE9 become more stable (beta versions).
Well, had downloaded and upgraded Milhouse build! Got surprised by the speed improvement for Kodi at RPi version!
On the emulation side, still need to focus on DS4 (ver1) configuration. System pair quite well 2 of my controllers natively with bluetooth and they work quite well on Kodi frontend, good latency, good selection of menus, etc... At emulationstation menu controls operate quite well, recognized and configured without any problems but for retroarch is a real mess! Controls are recognized but apparently not with properly autoconf, so I just cant navigate through menus decently. Already verified with bluetoothctl on console and controls looks normal.
I know that an Alpha kernel could cause some problems here and there, but seems to me much more an retroarch autoconf issue.
Thanks in advance and cheers for your good work!

I've uploaded the .tar try that.
Thanks for your time and help escalade. Will try it soon... Last night in my attempt to make things work had downloaded Milhouse's LE9 testbuild and got surprised by the speed improvement for the RPi version (Im on RPi3)! Maybe your could try that branch for your excellent build...!
Cheers!

Hi there!
Currently happy user of "LE8" (Extended) RPi distro but like to play with your addon as is more focused to Pi users (Pi3 here). Some question on the table:
1) Like to play your add-on with a vanilla LE8 installation. Some build recommendation..?
2) For the "milhouse" testbuild (LE9), I know retroarch is included on the master branch.. Do you still recommend it better to start on, or definitely go for option 1 at this time (Alpha1)...?
** Using HDMI output @ 1080p & DualShock4 as playable controllers.
Cheers and kudos for your great effort...!

I've uploaded a new image, please try that.
Upgrade process still failing... something at mounting image is missing I guess. My /storage partition have 22.4G Available... strange!
Here's a snapshot of the upgrade process for devel-20170717:
Googlin' about the message error, found some "similar problem" with a fix regarding charter set for filesystem support at kernel compliation... at this link!
Cheers!

this is the error in the latest build for rpi2.
Same at mi Pi3 trying to update for devel-20170710

Hey escalade
Planning to buy a new NUC for HTPC to use your excellent build on! Between new i3 (HD620 @ $348 Slim-Amazon) and i5 (HD640 @ $402 Slim-Amazon) what you'll pick up..? Those $54 diff buy 4GB of memory for the i3! I understand hungrier emu on your build is for dolphin... but plan to run games not beyond 1080p...
Cheers!

Mr. escalade ... Do you know if the /STORAGE partition can be formatted with extFAT or FAT32 to have ROMs/BIOSes, updates, etc....?
I have a Late 2013 Retina MBP with a Corei7 + Intel Graphics & discrete NVidia GT750M and want to dual-boot it with refind and access to Storage partition from macOS to try your excellent fork of LE with real (little old)power to play dolphin..!
Cheers!

LibCEC not working @ RPi2 build with my SamsungTV remote as with previous builds. Anyone with this same issue..?
Cheers and have a great holidays escalade !

escalade Now RPi working well! Your build alongside a Pi3 with a a pair of DS4 controllers are a ClassicNES Price/Beneffit killer! Hope to see soon AMD's *ZEN APU's on the scene with more mature vulkan AMDGPU open drivers and Intel as well dropping prices for their NUC's to have affordable dolphin(ables) Kodi boxes!!! 2017 will be exciting on this!
Cheers mate!

You didn't include the full output, so I don't even know what package is building. The library is in your toolchain though, libreadline is provided by netbsd-curses and used by several packages. What distribution are you using? I'm building on Arch.
As for the Pi issues, I guess it could be gcc as it's the only relevant change. I wouldn't think it could cause such problems but can't exclude it either. I'll do a rebuild with 6.2.
Yes, I figured out it could be gcc building toolchain the problem too... Im building with an ubuntu 17.x vanilla VM. Maybe layter try to rebuild things again with 6.2.
Thanks for your help escalade!
Cheers!

No, I sold it off because I think it's dog slow compared to Intel boxes at the same price point. I probably won't get anything with an ARM cpu again. Good thing that I don't require you to like me then
EDIT: All builds are done and uploaded. Merry christmas!
Kinda hard to help you without the error output.
Ok, here I am reBuilding emu branch for your tree... this is the given error, aparently a the toolchain building process:
Code
Display Morechecking for readline in -lreadline... no configure: error: GNU Readline could not be found which is required for the --with-readline (which is enabled by default). Either disable readline support with --without-readline or downloaded and install it from: ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline Note: if you are using precompiled packages you will also need the development package as well (which may be called readline-devel or something similar). Makefile:12: recipe for target 'image' failed make: *** [image] Error 1Readline is apparently not found (downloaded), even after a make clean & make image....

Dangit! Now you've gone and put another idea in my head. Like I really need to buy more gadgets...
[hr]Looks like the Pi version is still getting a kernel panic.
Yup! Still a Kernel Panic at
Codekernel/workqueue.c:855 wq_worker_waking_up+0x80/0x80Still not digging at google, but could be recent gcc upgrade made by escalade. I read 4.10 kernel have lot's of fixes for crappyARM, maybe BCM2835 fixes for new compiler!
Let's see...
Cheers!

Thanks for that escalade...! I'm still out of time to restart the build process and have some fun there! hehe.. Regarding your ARM "good-bye" I second you for that! x86 arch are much more exciting this days with KabyLake's round the corner and a possible much better price competition with still mysterious ryZen's with their AMDGPU much more mature and open; all of it much better price/performance than the ugly mess ARM has become, where all the "good stuff" are still -patented- and forced to use propietary binary drivers stocked at old kernels. In fact, I see projects like retropie moving "silently" to x86 where quality emulators like dolphin really shine!
I plan to use my only 2 RPi's one as Home services (Asterisk, Home-Assistant) and the other one to revive a good old 1090p TV able to play some (s)NES and Kodi.
By the way and after you'r mention! Have you some miniPC recommendation for this holiday's in the price tag of the Pi's...?
Cheers!
