logs are located in /storage/.kodi/temp/retroarch.log and /storage/.kodi/temp/retroarch_debuug.log but I guess they will say nothing helpful since this addon is just for RPi and Generic LibreELEC.
About dual booting... I really don't know, sorry.

I guess Generic Retroarch binary is not compatible with Rock64 board... what about the logs?
lakka core package is an independent package download, you need to download it using addon settings, if you download it now you will get the latest one no matter if your addon is updated or not.
RA 8.169.7 updated in repo.
New lakka 2.1 core package updated. Also it is easier to use AEL addon with retroarch since I included an option to download AEL assets within RA addon settings.
Okay. Which files/folder do you need?
just "libass.so.5", it should be in /lib folder or /usr/lib or wherever... I can not remember right now, sorry. If you connect using filezilla or similar ftp client software you can use search function.
if you install yourself LE8 into generic device, could you please grab shared library "libass.so.5" and paste here a download link... That would help me a lot...
Ok, so we need to grab that lib from LE8 generic and includde it in retroarch's generic lib folder as I did for RPi.
Official LE 8 or Leia testbuilds? That lib is required when running LE9 testbuild in RPis, but in LE8 it is not needed...
Thanks, will try to use Escalade's binary. He seems to use a NUC himself. Have to figure out how to extract the SYSTEM image, and then I'll see if it works.
In Escalade's LE8 Remix post, I read this. Could that be the problem maybe (I'm not a Linux guru at all)? Does RA run in KMS mode on Intel GPUs in your addon?
In latest Ra addon binaries have been extracted from Escalade's build so try it again please.
About vulcan/KMS thing... I really don't know... maybe you can change some parameter in retroarch settings using GUI or by editing retroarch.cfg file.
RetroArch addon v8.169.6 including new RetroArch release 1.6.9
In RPis it works out of the box in LE9 testbuilds.
thanks Mario77, I used to have AEL working (with the standalone addon) but its all broken now I have the repo installed. I will just use retroarch on its own for now.
If you want to use AEL and you come from standalone gamestarter addon you should backup your AEL userdata folder, then delete the addon using kodi interface, delete AEL userdata folder and install it again from my repo or from AEL's official github. After that you can follow instructions in my github repo page in order to import all categories, including artworks and paths, working with retroach addon. Finally you must scan each sustem for roms.
Display MoreHey, so today i installed libreelec new and your addon.
I put all my Bios Files in the folder and my roms which i have.
Now i start retroarch and test it so, that i get an core and go to my roms.
This works so far and the rom starts.
So now i get trouble to find the directory to scan all my files.Only i have 5 Buttons on the start:
1. RetroArch Logo
2. Settings
3. Playlist
4. History
5. Netplay
Is there an good Tutorial for generic build which explane what to do with retroarch, emulstation and advance launcher?
Cant find anything.
RetroArch: take a look to this guide.
Advanced Emulator Launcher: first read Gamestarter github page instructions to import assets and integration with retroarch addon, then you can look for more info here.
EmulationStation: you can edit ES config file using addon settings, after that there is no much to know, you need to place roms inside folders named like you can see in this link.
I updated the picodrive core with the Online Updater, and since then, when I try to launch a rom with picodrive, Gamestarter crashes and then reopens Libreelec.
Sometimes libretro buildbot's cores are not well optimized for RPi's LibreELEC and get segfault error. You better use previous one from lakka package, you can download all package again or just pick up the ones you need from these links: RPi | Generic
Make sure you are using same libretro core when using ES and RA. For ES you can edit that core in addon settings. Without logs I can not tell you more.
Display MoreHey bite_your_idols,
first of all thx for your addon.
I got problems to start it with IARL.
First i take the generic build from libreelec. Then install your repro and the IARL.
The install retroarch. But when i start retroarch without IARL i cant find to search for roms inside retroarch. I install all cores and so on.
Then i take the libreelec extended build. With this version i can start roms from retroarch without any problems.
The i installed IARL in extended version and want to start from IARL retroarch. But the roms wont start.
What path or somethingelse must i do in IARL for settings?
First i did nothing like the describe in the TUT but it wont work. Then in settings from IARL i set on libreelec extended but i dont know which path should i set?
Can u help?
First, If you are using Escalade's extended build and IARL addon, how can I help you? you should ask in Escalade's thread or in zack morris IALR's repo page or kodi forum thread.
Here, we just can try to make work retroarch addon from Gamestarter repo. If you want so, I recomend you to fresh install Official LE8, my repo from zip and then retroarch addon. Then we can take a look to your logs to indetify what your problem could be.
Is there a way to get .7zip support for EmulationStation? I edited es_systems.cfg to add .7z under extensions but it still does not load.
Maybe ES can load 7zip files in their lists but I think RetroArch is not able to handle that extension, just zip (or each romextension without compression)
Using LibreElec 8.2.0 Generic and a Sony DS4 controller via bluetooth dongle. There is a bug where 2 controllers are detected (one for sensors and one for gamepad I believe). This causes Retroarch to become unresponsive when you load it - controller does not work at all and my Logitech k400r wireless keyboard stops functioning. The only thing that works is the touchpad on the k400r.
I found the only way to fix this is to turn off the DS4 controller and then load Retroarch. Once RetroArch is loaded, turn on the DS4 controller. At this point, the keyboard and controller works but it jumps everywhere so you can't pick every option. I then used the touchpad on the k400r to select Input settings and then I bound every button manually. Now the controller works everytime.

I don't have an intel NUC so I can´t try it by myself, only thing I can tell you is to install Escalade's build and try to launch retroarch.
If it works and you prefer to use Official LE release you can grab retroarch binary from that build and paste/replace back in my retroarch addon folder (/starage/.kodi/addons/game.retroarch/game.retroarch-Gen) in your LE oficial installation.
Maybe my retroarch binary is not well compiled for Generic... That's why I am considering to use Escalade's ones instead compiling myself, he is a LibreELEC ninja!
I guess something was interfering... I started with a brand new install, and just copied over the couple files I needed. Everything is working perfectly, right out of the gate. One more question though...
Any who is using Drastic DS emulator, is the cursor working on the second screen? I love the DS emulator, but I can't play any of the games that require use of the second screen, because the cursor/finger thing doesn't show up at all.
It is supposed to be working using your right stick in a dual stick gamepad such as Dualshocks, but I never get this working. Also I read you can plug an USB mouse and it should work but I didn'dt get this working neither...
Drastic is a beta release and has not been updated for a year, it is a pity because it has a very good performance in our Pis.
@Dalton63841 you can try to update/download all autoconfig from retroarch settings> online updater> autoconfig you can get there using a keyboard or libreleec VNC addon and connect from a PC, tablet or phone.
Also you can try my personal cfg files for DS4, attached.
