RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - DarkoDesi - 2019-04-12 Hi, im looking for a way to play grim dawn on my Kodi setup Intel Nuc i5 HD5000. i installed AEL uploaded the unpacked game dir with correct exe version to the inten nuc ssd and added the exe as a new launcher for microsoft windows on ael, but when i try to run it i get : Code: 2019-04-12 16:26:49.539 T:139694442608384 ERROR: AEL DEBUG: ---------- Called AEL Main::run_plugin() constructor ---------- RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - Wintermute0110 - 2019-04-13 @DarkoDesi You cannot run a Windows application in Linux. As a general thing, one Operating System cannot run applications for other Operating System. You need an emulator such as Wine. RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - EdenEvoX - 2019-04-14 Hey "Wintermute0110" a big thank you for this addon - works perfectly and I am looking to edit my current theme to support boxart and videos. Do you have a guide or any tips on how to do this? I'm currently using an xbox one theme created by Toyota12303 located here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=167601 < based on Xperience 1080 RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - Wintermute0110 - 2019-04-15 (2019-04-14, 16:52)EdenEvoX Wrote: Hey "Wintermute0110" a big thank you for this addon - works perfectly and I am looking to edit my current theme to support boxart and videos. Do you have a guide or any tips on how to do this? First I recommend you to install skins that already support AEL: Estuary AEL, Lyrebird, Aura, ... So you can get ideas and inspiration. Second, download the code of the XBox skin and put it in Github. It is worth to learn how to use git, it will save a lot of problems in the future and will keep track of your changes. Third, start by creating a copy of a current view in the skin and then modify that copy little by little. Fourth, have a look a the code of Estuary AEL in Github. The code has a lot of comments and has been designed to be easy to read and understand (and not to be optimum). Skinning is an art in itself and takes a lot of time, but the results could be very satisfactory. Good luck. Also, I recommend you open a thread for your skin so people can report problems or propose suggestions.

First you need to create your normal ROM Launchers. The ROMs in Favourites and Collections are added from the ROM context menus in the ROM Launchers ("Add ROM to Favourites", "Add ROM to Collection"). RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - trohn_javolta - 2019-04-16 Hi, I have a Nvidia Shield Tv and I'd like Kodi as frontend for all emulation. But there are android apps like retroarch(64bit) or mupen64+ae that use libretro cores that do a better job than the ones from Kodi addons. I'd want to specify those cores outside Kodi app to be used with retroplayer. Can this addon do that? Or does it "only" launch the specified android emulation app? I guess this addon does the later. I read since oreo update this addon does not work anymore or better said the way that is used to execute android emulation apps from it using /system/bin/am. Others wrote it is fixed and works...What's the current state of that? Another thing concerning retroplayer I read is, one could create from a specific libretro core and setup an addon that retroplayer can use. Would that be the way to go if I'd want everything happening in Kodi, take for example, the mupen64+ae android app and somehow make a kodi addon out of it that retroplayer can use?

I havent tried it, but I just use Retroarch through AEL on my Shield. Works perfect. For the Oreo issue I already created the fix which will be available in the new releases of AEL from @Wintermute0110. However since there is still a lot of work to do on that release I created a 0.9.8 alpha release with the Android fix which is available through my own dev repository https://github.com/chrisism/repository.chrisism You can use that version until the new AEL is out. RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - Wintermute0110 - 2019-04-16 @chrisism Thanks a lot for your help (2019-04-16, 09:45)trohn_javolta Wrote: Hi, I have a Nvidia Shield Tv and I'd like Kodi as frontend for all emulation.

AEL is only a launcher, that is, it executes or starts external programs. On top of that, it has a lot of features if the launcher app happens to be an emulator. Additionally, AEL can use Retroplayer instead of an external application to launch ROMs. (2019-04-16, 09:45)trohn_javolta Wrote: Another thing concerning retroplayer I read is, one could create from a specific libretro core and setup an addon that retroplayer can use.

If you want to create a core Retroplayer can use you must package it for Kodi. In theory, Retroplayer should be binary compatible with Retroarch. However, Kodi Retroplayer cores require metadata in XML, etc., and I'm not sure if currently the binary compatibility is kept at 100%. Another thing is that currently Retrpolayer does not support OpenGL and Mupen64Plus requires OpenGL. If you want to use OpenGL or Vulkan cores (Mupen64Plus, Dolphin, Reicast, Yabause, ...) you must use Retroarch and wait until Retroplayer adds OpenGL compatibility.

Also, if interested in MAME/Arcade, I want to support Android with Advanced MAME Launcher and need somebody to do test (I do no have an Android machine myself). If you want to collaborate let me know.

I havent tried it, but I just use Retroarch through AEL on my Shield. Works perfect. It contains also some of my previous launcher configurations for Android (based on Nivida Shield). I am not an expert on the emulator/core differences etc. but I like how it is working for me. The launcher configs in the assets library are a bit outdated though. I switched a lot between a development version of AEL and the last release that I have to clean up my setup. When I have done that I'll publish my configs again in there.

Please read the starting post of this thread where @Wintermute0110 has explained how to use the assests library. Of course we try to keep configurations compatible as much as possible between releases, but the 0.10.0 release will contain major changes.
