hi @bite_your_idols

Thanks for this although i cant get it to run using OSMC. Can you test it using OSMC. It installs ok but when i go to launch it from programs menu it pops up says "Do you wish to exit kodi and start emulationstation". When i click yes nothing happens.

Looking at the config files, openelec uses a different directory structure to osmc. /storage/ is what openelec uses i believe but osmc default directory is /home/osmc.

So maybe this is why its not working, if you could have a test on OSMC be great thanks.

I made some tests in OSMC and prepared some code for that deistro but finally I gave up. Retroarch binaries from open/libreELEC don't work in OSMC and the most important issue: The scripts fpr stopping kodi, launching retroarch and listen to quit retroarch for getting back to kodi are very different.
If anyone wants to help me doing that addon version I will apreciate that, but by the moment the addon only works in Libre/OpenELEC, sorry.

PD: In OSMC you can try Retrosmc.

No worries yeah ill give retrosmc a go.

I unistalled your addon from programs menu. Is there any other files i need to delete to unistall it completely not that it should interfere with anything.

Thanks

Check if you have the "emulators" folder in home/osmc, you can delete it. Also can be a folder called .config with some folders inside you can delete (advancedlauncher, emulationstation and retroarch).

You can load roms from any source you added to kodi.

It should work.

This sound exactly what I'm looking for my PI.
But it will raise a question: in the near future I'd like to quit using the PI for kodi and switch to a intel NUC with kodibuntu, would this addon work on the NUC too?
If not, why is that and someone does have a suggestion for a seetup to play mame games on the NUC?
TIA
