RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - ziggurat - 2015-07-02
Could you please post intel linux build?
RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - Montellese - 2015-07-03
@garbear: it links against that DLL because you make a debug build. But that DLL is only available with Visual C++ installed. So for test releases you need to build the addons and Kodi for release.

check back tmrw morning, i'll see if I can get DInput joysticks working tonight
IDirectInputDevice8::GetProperty with DIPROP_VIDPID (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/microsoft.directx_sdk.idirectinputdevice8.idirectinputdevice8.getproperty(v=vs.85).aspx) should provide the vendor and product IDs.
https://github.com/Montellese/peripheral.joystick/commit/9b0ca84b16bc91436da3a5af13611654c586ac08 might do the trick but wasn't able to runtime test it yet.

I checked this out, and the peripheral add-on isn't exporting the function symbol. I'll try forcing a rebuild of libKODI_game
EDIT: new build is up for windows
Thanks. I just installed this build over the last one, but I still get the error message. I'll dive into this tonight (am at work atm).

I double-checked that the game.libretro.dll file is indeed in that location...so why it says it cant be found i dont know. If it matters im on windows 10 insider preview. i also installed retroarch and used it to test that the rom is indeed good and my controller is functioning properly
RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - Montellese - 2015-07-04
I've looked into why my NES30 controller wasn't working and figured out a few things:
- There seems to be an issue with when/how we detect and create the DirectInput devices. We set the cooperative level to DISCL_FOREGROUND but then DirectInput doesn't let us acquire the joystick device even if Kodi is in the foreground. From some stuff I read on the internet this can happen if the DirectInput device is created before the application creating it is in the foreground and visible/focused.
- The controller is not calibrated and the default lX value is 256. That means that the CAnomalousTriggerFilter sets the m_center member to CENTER_POSITIVE_ONE which results in the moving the joystick right in being detected as center even though the lX value in that case is AXIS_MAX i.e. 32767. After having calibrated the controller in windows it worked fine but I'll take another look at it as it sounds like something that Kodi should be able to handle.
- Even after having calibrated the controller moving right in any NES game didn't work. Left worked fine.
- With a change to CAnomalousTriggerFilter I managed to fix the m_center problem and now I can play NES games with my NES30 controller but there are huge CPU spikes every few seconds during which time the whole player starts to stutter and input events are sometimes lost.
RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - Montellese - 2015-07-05
I managed to fix the DISC_FOREGROUND issue and the CAnomalousTriggerFilter but there is still heavy stuttering in NES (couldn't try any other) games whenever the peripherals system scans for new joysticks.
Furthermore I was finally able to reproduce the freeze again when connecting my Xbox 360 controll while Kodi is running that I reported a while ago. The deadlock is between the main thread

Kodi.exe!CThread::Action() Line 221 C++
Kodi.exe!CThread::staticThread(void * data) Line 134 C++I've had a closer look and the problem is that CPeripherals::OnDeviceAdded() and ::OnDeviceRemoved() both try to get the CGUIDialogPeripheralManager instance from the window manager while holding a lock whereas CGUIWindowManager:
rocess() tries to access CPeripherals (through CApplication::IsMuted()) while holding a lock.The problem is solved by https://github.com/Montellese/xbmc/commit/3c04a9daab6ad23d38ef791a34ad7a69879dfb1f which simply uses an asynchronous message to update CGUIDialogPeripheralManager instead of explicitly retrieving the active instance from the window manager.

Kodi also crashes on quit every time.
Don't suppose there are any other cores to test anytime soon are there?
I've tracked down the crash on quit but haven't fixed it yet.
The other cores still need to be ported. much of the work has been done by spiff (https://github.com/kodi-game ). we need help finishing the job. I created a thread for porting cores at http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=224328

RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - garbear - 2015-07-06
new windows builds uploaded, includes Montellese's direct input fixes. built from a clean source tree, so hopefully the installer is working properly now.
RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - wyleekiot - 2015-07-06
just tried again with the 7-5 build and i get the exact same error. i tried running this kodi standalone, over the top of beta 2, this then beta 2, even under and over rc1...all give me the same error
Addon couldnt be loaded
an unknown error occured
cant load dll
log shows the same as above...im assuming im doing something wrong but not sure what.

You need to link the log here, either post it to xbmclogs or pastebin.
RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - Scourge - 2015-07-06
Using latest build from juli 5th. When restarting Kodi after regular exit, I get the .dll error:
When navigating to System/game/input, the same error persists:
Debug log can be found here.
RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - Montellese - 2015-07-06
@garbear: you also need to revert https://github.com/garbear/xbmc/commit/7881ed2e89797fc66ed2409d7bef232785d59a54 and not just https://github.com/garbear/xbmc/commit/e0436f99a1d51752b45391f6562d2d20cc3d52f4 as you're still building in debug mode.
RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - garbear - 2015-07-06
haha almost had it last time. try the new build with both commits reverted
