• Rewind support - Thanks to Themaister, you can time travel 60 seconds into the past using the seek bar.
  
• Add-on manager - emulators can be installed directly from within XBMC. Win32 and linux x64 only, for now.
  
• Controller support - Added profile for Xbox 360 Controller. If you want to help with other controllers, see <FullScreenGame> in joystick.Microsoft.Xbox.360.Controller.xml . Also re-worked keyboard input
  
• Audio delay - I was able to push it down to under a third of a second without buffer underruns. Still, better than the > 1s before.
  
• RCB "support" (technically, RCB supports RetroPlayer) - can launch games internally, avoiding external emulators
  
• RetroPlayer - Refactored the RetroPlayer core; video and audio are optimized to avoid unnecessary memory allocation and thread blocking
  
• libretro - Updated to latest API
  

• Emulator selection process
  

• Real-time rewind (a.k.a. Baid style) - Instead of mouse seeking, hitting R will rewind smoothly until the Play button is hit.
  
• YUV444p support - Themaister demonstrated experimental YUV444p rendering on linux OpenGL (commit: f124788 ). Adapt this to win32 DX and GLES, and fallback to YUV422 for uncooperative renderers.
  
• RGB support - YUV444p is really just a stopgap until full RGB support is implemented. DVDPlayer overlays might be the solution here.

What would be cool if game input controller could be provided via JSON-RPC API and also have the option witch input controller is required for the current game.
The IOS and android apps could then supply an emulated game controller for every type of console game and popup up the correct controller for the current game.

What will be the purpose of addons like RCB and advanced launcher (as they relate to launch roms) once this project is finished? I've heard you talk before about building a complete game library for XBMC so it seems like for those of us who have never taken the time to set up RCB or Adv Launcher we wouldn't need to because the game library would function just like our existing movie library.

Also, I won't pretend to know what priority certain features should be arranged in, but it would be cool to be able to import/export the game library in the same way we can with our video and music libraries. It will make it easy for people with huge collection of roms to scrape the data once and use that for multiple XBMC installations.

forgot to add...

keep up the great work!

I decided to learn how and do my own Windows builds and compiled from garbear's latest as of yesterday:

I wanted to help out a bit to get some more users testing as this is THE coolest thing I've seen go into XBMC!

If you have issues post up detailed information, system information, hardware being used, steps to reproduce and debug logs that garbear and others can use


I'll echo sentiments that I'm sure all dev's have with these types of things

- If you don't know what you are doing don't install it!
- Don't fill up this thread with questions on how to use it or how to configure RCB to work with it, all the information has been posted/linked.. I figured it out,so can you!
