If someone wants to use RetroPlayer on v17, running on Windows, what are the full steps necessary?

What I tried to do;

1. download latest Krypton nightly from http://mirrors.kodi.tv/nightlies/win32/Krypton/
   
2. Extracted using 7zip and copied all folders containing "game.[something]" from the addons folder. Used the latest build from the beginning of this thread (file/versions all appear to be the same as in v18).
   
3. Place those folders in C:/Program Files (x86)/Kodi/addons
   
4. Add the posted <gamesgeneral><enable>true</enable></gamesgeneral> to advancedsettings.xml in your %appdata% folder. Or use konami code (up up down down left right left right B A)
   

I'm not getting a game section in the Estuary skin. I see the addons listed when I look through installed addons and I can enable the various cores. But without the game section I'm not sure how to add rom locations and run them. I also tried replacing kodi.game since I noticed the one in the Krypton nightly was "1.0.14" and the one in yours and v18 was "1.0.28". Didn't help.

v18 works, but took me all of 5 minutes to run into bugs.

My RetroPlayer builds are special because games are enabled out of the box, all the emulators are included, and also .zip, .bin and .iso are hardcoded to be games instead of vidoes.

Also, Savestates are a work-in-progress and will change in the future, so they're only in my builds, unless Milhouse includes PR11034 (which he often does, but sometimes it breaks).
