I guess that should be doable for someone to compile EmulationStation to be compatible with plain LibreElec. Thought, I've never used EmulationStation personally.
I had a quick look at https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation, which seems to be the most active branch of EmulationStation. The original branch seems to be pretty much stale. Good news is that it supports OpenGL ES. So that's a good start.
Then, it would require to support direct video rendering using DRM/KMS/GBM without any dependencies on windowing systems like X11 or Wayland. I quickly browsed the source code to get an idea and I understand that EmulationStation uses the SDL library, which looks like an abstraction layer over traditional rendering libraries. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about this library. It may already support direct rendering, but I can't say.
You would also have to check for ALSA audio support and udev input support (for joysticks). I guess SDL can also do it's magic here as an abstraction layer.
Once compiled, then you still need an external emulator (EmulationStation is only a frontend right?). There you could use RetroArch from my Repo. Some minor modifications would probably be required to my launch script to provide a good user experience (e.g. returning to EmulationStation instead of Kodi when closing RetroArch).
Unfortunately, I have no sufficient knowledge/time/interest about EmulationStation to try compiling it. It may be pretty easy to do it, or it may not! However, I can certainly bring some modifications to my RetroArch launch scripts if anyone can build EmulationStation.
Hey @jefflessard ,
Thank you for that detailed answer!!! That sounds promising. Unfortunatley i have no idea, how to make an application like Emulationstation to work in a vanilla Libreelec. I could compile an app, but that's it...
Unhappily, i'm always dependent on people who can do that magic work.
The last time i used the Libreelec in this thread to play games through Emulationstation (with Retroarch).
Ok, there are some other solutions to make games running within Libreelec.
But in all cases your RetroArch is basicly the basis.
best regards

For those who would like to run RetroArch and Mupen64Plus-Next (including parallel/Vulkan support) on plain LibreElec, have a look at https://github.com/jefflessard/game.retroarch
Direct download links for x86-64 Generic:
Hi, that sounds great !!!
I did not try this yet, but its a good way to get retroarch working on a plain LibreElec.
All i have to wish for me, is to get also an Emulationstation as a frontend
Would it be possible to get that in your Repo? Or is there an easy way to make it for me as a usual user with no programming skills?
best regards

Hello, are there any news about this beautiful addon or anyone who could push that up to kodi 19?

a safe way is to check out the target fearures of your cpu:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/x86-Options.html
and add them e.g. like this:
https://github.com/SupervisedThin…a3a7226cec8dd86
You probably could also check out this
https://github.com/SupervisedThin…ric/options#L13
which is used here
Hi and thanks a lot!
That should help for my next building trys

I've backported some master-rr stuff to https://github.com/SupervisedThin…breelec-10.0-RR e.g. fixes for the broken pkg urls, SDL2, GStreamer, mesa etc.
Currently I'm more focused on getting some changes into LE master to lay the groundwork for future Wayland builds if X11 will be dropped some day by upstream, upstreaming Vulkan support etc.
But beside the mesa bump there weren't any fundamental updates in between.
Hello SupervisedThinking
That solves my Problems about the missing things while building.
Only one more question:
How do i build a SSE4 Version of your Project? Any additional build commands or changes in the config?
best regards

had to do some small other fixes...in case someone else is trying to build this...i'll attach the patch
just remove the .txt ending
Hi DerTeufel
Last Days i tried to compile this as GENERIC Build, but no luck....some sources has changed permanently.
(pcre,pcre2,soundtouch,mesen,dosbox-staging)
Where to place your Patch? Directly in the 'LibreELEC-RR' directory? And does it build GENERIC too?
best regards

Nice to see, that someone tries to fork the good work from 5schatten!
I have a little issue, when i compile the generic version:
Cannot get libev-system sources : https://git.lighttpd.net/libev.git/snap…rel-4.27.tar.gz
How to solve this???

Is there a well maintained emulator for it?
Hey escalade ,
I think there is at least one:
Atari800 - Browse /atari800 at SourceForge.net..don't know if it is working with LE..
