RetroPlayer is a new player core for Kodi Entertainment Center. It is similar to the video player and audio visualizer, but it plays games instead of movies and music.
Design and Components
- RetroPlayer: Code name of a new Kodi component that can play emulators, standalone games, and NVidia GameStream.
- Controller support: Remote-friendly way to reconfigure controllers.
Future Components
- Game provider add-ons: Stream tens of thousands of games directly from the Internet Archive Software Collection
- Media readers: Cartridge adapters, like the Retrode, that give Kodi access to game
- Game save manager: Manage savestates and SRAM saves. This enables "gameplay persistence" - the game restarts right where you left off.
- Game library: What else other than the full Kodi experience? Box art, game trailers, gameplay videos, system intros, save states, and more.
- Network play: I fully completed a netplay add-on. It was slow and buggy and basically needs to be rewritten from scratch.
- Shaders: Let's start brainstorming what we want and how this could work. A CRT shader would be cool.
Update (2017-04-07)
After over four years of development, RetroPlayer was merged into Kodi v18 "Leia".
It's recommended that you change Kodi to identify some extensions as games using http://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml :
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<videoextensions>
<remove>.bin|.img|.iso|.zip</remove>
</videoextensions>
<musicextensions>
<remove>.cue|.zip</remove>
</musicextensions>
<pictureextensions>
<remove>.zip</remove>
</pictureextensions>
</advancedsettings>
