Smart Resume to play on linux kodi 2024 retroplayer - marvin2k - 2024-06-27
Hello, i made this quick guide because i find the install information confusing on kodi, most of Windows resources do not work as espected, and is just and update how-to-install on linux, i made it on fresh new install debian and ubuntu based Xubuntu machine.
frist you need the base os plugin libretro installing it with standar source (do not use nighty)
Code:
sudo apt-get install kodi-game-libretroThem libreto biostolols do it the best for you

install the addon (the best method is installing first the Zack`s repository)
and configure it. You will need your original bios on configuration options, every time that you start kodi and plugin, bios
After you configure bios tools, use Zack`s libretro buildbot that do the magic

again, install and download emulator.
Them add rom source as usual you ad video o music sources, review your instaler plugins to know what type of file they can open. Finally open rom file and pop-up will you ask to choice desired emulator. Take care that some rom can cash with "X" emulator but Works with "Y", so you must test rom one-by-one to know which one that rom works good. Some times can carchs after play and go back to kodi, in that case try with another emulator.

try to speak in english, as well probably not are over here not too much english native. Applte tv is not a open souce SO, and here are not easy ways to install it. If you want full control of kodi move your hardware to open source.

Code:
sudo apt-get install kodi-game-libretro
This uses the kodi PPA, which has been discontinued. Check the version of game.libretro in the add-on manager. The most recent versions are v20.2.7 for Nexus and v21.0.6 for Omega. If you installed an older version from the PPA you may have problems. Unfortunately the only workaround is to build the add-on from source. A flatpak is also available with the latest version of game.libretro, but it may be missing other emulator cores. If you'd like specific cores included in the flatpak, we can add them, we just need a feature request.

For now, on 20 and 21 kodi, old ppa libretro works like a charm.
The ppa only install base libretro, next, you need install one by one (core) or emulators using zacks addons. i recomend that configuration at least on ubuntu based distro. And easyest way to make work on kodi, and very similar to retroarch.
You may know that some emularors will not work. Like dreamcast, but they can be sustituyed by sega pico.
As you mentioned, individual emulators from ppa are unusable.

Flatpack install is presenting some issues and it have no my benditions. i prefer use standard method to avoid problems. I´m trying to build your new version on ubuntu, for now cmake have some issues building.
Ubuntu dont need install cores from ppa, the easyest way is use addon, that buids on demand, but libretro compatibility needs to be instaled first.
Instaled version from ppa is 20.2.7
Not luck today
