escalade : how come you don't have an update file any more? It kinda blows to get a USB stick just to update your dist as I cannot mount the attached .img file in Windows.

Would it be possible to keep at least one update file a long side with the installation img? Thank you in advance.

Already put many arcade roms (used with MAME on Windows many years ago) under /storage/roms.
The files are ".ZIP", do i need to unzip ?
Is there a specific filename format ?
Under roms directory, do i need to have subdir like /storage/roms/mame/ ?
If such subdir isn't required, will the emulationstation check recursively under directories found under roms ?

Thanks!

yes, you need sub dirs for each emulator and the core of course for the emulator (not needed for dolphin/wii/gc) you want to use.

Sure, just run "/usr/bin/emulationstation.start --frontend" in autostart.sh.

Also on another box I'm trying to run the games through Rom Collection Browser, but I can't find an exec file for retroarch inside /storage/.config/retroarch and there doesn't seem to be any cores there? Can you guide me to where the retroarch.sh file is located and cores?

I can't seem to figure out how to either use Retroarch together with thread-302-page-1.html release or how to do it with the retroarch-plugin (based on 1.3.6 retroarch) with Rom collection Browser.

I can scrape the games, but I do not know how to configure Retroarch properly with RCB. Tried searching but the answers I found didn't work for me, hitting <enter> on a game doesn't seem to do anything.

Don't know how much I need to elaborate, but any pointers would be welcome!

Maybe if I learned programming and had some kind of interest in moonlight

You don't need to learn how programming, there's a package for linux at least, check it out here: http://moonlight-stream.com/ - i think it would be a perfect match for your LibreELEC version aka the ultimate gaming/media experience imagine to play those triple A titles with your little HTPC by the sofa, streaming your favorite games from your desktop PC

There's an alpha for running it in Chrome browser, Releases · moonlight-stream/moonlight-chrome · GitHub

You can use ALT+ESC to close any window.

Just get a Rii mini keyboard with trackpad, it'll make your HTPC life easier. Spotimc is a buggy piece of crap

I have the Logitech DiNovo that comes with a trackpad, but i still prefer Spotimc's design rather than official Spotify's own, at least on an HTPC

Btw escalade, would it be possible to implement "Moonlight" with a GUI to pair Nvidia Gamestream? The addon is broken and the author doesn't seem to know how to fix it.

Big ups for your work, love it!

I cant pair properly from the addon, using ssh cmd to start a game works, but not very user friendly, any ideas how to fix this? Tried downgrading GFE to 2.2 but same error occurs.
Don't know how to copy the paired keys to the correct folder if that's a solution I need to know how (detailed). Im using LibreELEC on a pc with Intel J1900 and I have tried on Krypton 17.0-RC4 and 17.1-RC1.

Thank you in advance

Thanx. Works.

I just know don't know, how to close Spotify. I've tried several keys on my keyboard and Harmony 700

Also had issues with this, would like the Spotimc GUI instead as it's hard/impossible to navigate with a remote. Had to use a mouse to shut it down.

20170216:

Code

- rebased on latest le8
- kodi updated to latest krypton
- mesa updated to latest git
- xf86-video-nvidia updated to 378.13
- linux updated to 4.10-rc8
- retroarch updated to latest git

Just a quick question, would it be possible to autostart into emulation station if focus is on retro gaming rather than HTPC function?

Would it be possible to add "native" support for "Moonlight" (Nvidia gamestream)? The addon is broken and the author doesn't know how to fix the issue (cannot pair after successful connection to host). Would be great to have support for that to build the ultimate gaming/retro box.

noxx

No, it's not.

In other news, I've uploaded a new nvidia 304.xx build (20170130) for those with older nvidia cards.

Going on a two week holiday, so no new builds for a while.

great news, thank you for this!

Quote from escalade

Legacy is included, perhaps your GPU needs the 304.xx series?

could very well be so, i believe it's an old nvidia 9400 card. Would it be possible to include that, or do you have some older version somewhere?

getting xorg failed to start when trying to boot from usb.

Also, i have another pc running your build fine, but how do i use the scummvm emulator and dosbox?

Quote from escalade

@bite_my_idols

I'd say you give up quick, but sure use whatever works for you Maybe your card is an older geforce 6 or 7 series? I removed the nvidia legacy drivers from recent builds to save some space didn't think anyone used those. If I include them them the generic build is at a full 512MB. As for the wireless issue, surely there are hints in the system log. LibreELEC uses connman and so should support most wireless configurations.

New build 20161115:

Code

- Added back nvidia legacy drivers (this will probably need to go to make room for other things as I've maxed out 512MB for generic at this point)
- Enable SMB2 and SMB3 support for the kernel CIFS module
- Updated kernel to 4.8.7
- Updates to glupen64-libretro, retroarch-joypad-autoconfig, libretro-database, snes9x2010-libretro, scummvm-libretro, mgba-libretro, mesa and retroarch
- Fixed an issue with nmon

Is it possible to add nvidia legacy again? Or at least dig up the old version that had nvidia legacy? Built an older pc for retro-gaming for my cousin who just took his PhD and wanted to give him something he can enjoy

Big thanks for your effort into this project by the way!
