You install retroarch from Gamestarter Repo as you usually install any other addons.....then from retroarch addon settings download core package and that's about it....you can basically forget about retroarch after setting it up if you r running your roms from AEL.

It's not an easy task as it might look to set everything up first time...If you r going to make AEL and Emulation Station with all the bells and whistles...artwork,logos,backgrounds for each game and so on it will take you some time..to give you an idea it took me over a week to set it all up...but after that you just save you roms and artwork and xml's in a safe place for future backup and restore...For AEL and ES you can use the same artwork folders...no need to duplicate any folders

I would be glad, if somebody could help me,

I have been using Libreelec for a very long time and want to play retro games on my pi.

I have now discovered Gamestarter but the Zip V.3.0 has only about 400kb. I think there is something wrong.

How do I install the

RA-8.1.7.3.10 on my

Pi 3B+ with

Libreelec 8.2.5?

I made Gamestarter V2.9 successfully running on my System, but my Roms could not start.

Please Help

Metal Gear Solid

Ok just to try how it works on my Rpi2...if it is Metal Gear Solid VR Missions it's working fine here no lags..using pcsx_rearmed

What game is that?

Quote from VoSed

No, I'm not. It's not completely working.

Also I already downgraded to 8.2.5 and did soft reset of LE. And now I can't download core package from RA addon settings. It's downloading zero-sized archive😀

Download from here

Probably need to downgrade...

Are you using retro player builtin kodi?

Today I tested Retroarch on my RPi3 and LE9. PlayStation 1 games are laggy. Even PS1 startup logo.

They are working fine with LE 8.2.5...not sure with LE9

You don't have to stream the image of your smartphone to Libreelec as Libreelec can play your camera url directly but if you really want to do that you can always use something like Screen Stream over HTTP

Regarding camera it's nicely done with the Surveillance Room Addon..you just need to have your camera stream url's..It even works with motion detection for Foscam cameras..and displays a small window (PIP)with camera feed on your screen when motion is detected..you can even control pan/tilt from Libreelec..

I managed to get 4 cameras streaming together on 1 divided screen on a Rpi2 but was struggling at 720p..Works fine with 1 at a time

Mine updates from the Libreelec repo so try from there

Are you trying to turn off the backlight of an lcd screen?I guess it would be easier and cleaner to just cut the power to the screen using relay/transistor then to the pi altogether,doesn't look like a neat shutdown to me or try the "Pi Supply Switch"

Yes it is updatable...I m on version="2.0.20.0" on Rpi2 8.2.5

It seems that I could solve my problem by granting write access to the following folders for the whole user group:

• /storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.program.advanced.emulator.launcher
• /storage/.kodi/addons/game.retroarch
• /storage/.kodi/temp

I don't think you have to do that to be honest..I don't remember doing that when I set mine..

If the roms run from retroarch they should run fine from AEL...it does take some time to setup all with artwork and get used to how it all works especially if you just started with emulation..

I just use retroarch for running roms..never scanned any rom folders from retroarch or downloaded artwork......just downloaded cores and changed few settings for audio and video and few other settings and that's it...

I run my roms from AEL or Emulation Station...both sharing same artwork from same folders...been some time now that I set everything and working flawless...when you r done make sure you have a backup cause it's hard work to start again especially if you have 1000's of roms...

herehi bite_your_idols,

Brilliant! Now I can start RetroArch. It's really cool. Thank you very much!!!

Now I have another problem. This time it's Advanced Emulator Launcher. I don't understand how I have to configure this. I read the read me in github but don't know what I have to do exactly. I could configure RetroArch, but don't know which configuration file I have to import in ALE? Can someone explain me what I have to do here?

Thx

It's all here and here and here..

Start by downloading this...these are the AEL assets that you need to setup the launchers..you can download them also from retroarch addon settings..then go to AEL settings → I/O → Import category/launcher configuration... and select the systems you want to import from default path where you saved the assets..You can install all or the ones you are going to use only...then you set AEL to download artwork or use your own and from each launcher menu point to the folder where you have the roms...example from the nes launcher browse to the nes roms folder and scan for roms..

Not sure about Chromebox but I assume it's a generic box and you can ssh from putty or whatever you use...follow post #741 on this thread...posted that lately for someone else.

Doesn't sound like the same issue these builds are addressing...If you have the TV set input on Kodi and you restart your C2 does it respond?If it doesn't it's some other issue...My issue and several on this thread is that CEC works fine till Kodi goes to standbye or we change input or we switch the TV off..by changing input to something else and back to Kodi it then works....if it doesn't I don't think it's the same cec bug..

I just installed this as the official one was not working well with my LG TV (simplink), but it remained the same.

Is there something else I should try?

L2

What was your issue with the LG?

This is supposed to solve the issue of loosing Cec after standbye/switching off or changing tv hdmi input to something else and back to LE..

I will start by checking if there are any LG software updates..I had few issues on my Philips that I tought they where LE issues like loosing audio for few seconds but where fixed with a software update..

Quote from tuep

And what can I do about that? It seems it is my FLIRC USB, which should be an Keyboard.

As I told you before you shouldn't be seeing the cursor in Kodi if you disable mouse and touchscreen support...it will go only from Kodi...Anything outside Kodi will naturally show a cursor...e.x on startup or if you'r using chromium or anything similar
