Thanks, but that installed just a few emulators, not those I need (SNES). 
How do I install more emulators? I found the one I need in the nightly ppa, but using the terminal to install just like I did "kodi-game-libretro" just doesn't work. (I tried using

Code:

sudo apt get install kodi-game-libretro-beetle-bsnes

, but it gives me an error that the file isn't found).

Thanks in advanced!

Well like I said, I'm not a linux expert. It likely has to do with the version of linux your using. I see that package available in the nightly ppa. Assuming you added that ppa and then updated, you should be able to search for whats available:

xml:


sudo apt-cache search "kodi-game*"

Hi I'm trying to get IAGL by using Zach's instructions ie Do NOT use a third party installer, build, TVA Link, fusion installer, or other non-official means to install IAGL. Doing so is akin to clubbing baby seals.
Install IAGL in one of these ways:
Download the repository zipfile from here to install the addon and get automatic updates. 

I downloaded it to my windows 10 pc. It is located in the downloads folder.

On Kodi I go to add source in the file manager and and click browse. I found the download file and the zip file is not there!

Can anyone please advise me what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.

Please disregard my post. I would delete it but I can't!

I've managed to do do it.

Hi Zach!
Thanks for your addon!
I have a problem with adding my own list of games, with links to Google Drive. The sheet created by me does not open. According to the log gives the following lines:

DEBUG: IAGL:  Parsing XMl file for Google_Drive_Example_NES, file CRC 35ED84FB
ERROR: IAGL Error:  Error parsing game list Google_Drive_Example_NES.  Exception not well-formed (invalid token): line 26, column 89
ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--

Is it possible to lay out a working version of the sheet of games, with any one game with Google Drive?

Sorry for my bad english.

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong here. I'm on Ubuntu, running Kodi 18.1 and anytime I try to launch a game it says that the emulator isn't installed. There's no section for installing emulators in the Kodi repo, so I installed retroarch and I believe that I'm pointing to the correct system and app locations but I get the same error. Any help would be much appreciated.

See getting started, specifically the part about getting game emulator addons for linux or the setup wiki section (same info is now in both).

I've updated the google drive and dropbox examples in the wiki. Both work just fine. I'm guessing you have a badly formatted xml file.

I'm still perplexed.  I have retroarch working and I have the directories set in Kodi.  I've run the setup wizard.  I've updated the launch command.  The games just won't launch.

It looks like your settings, external launchers tab, Retroarch App location, appears to be set to a config file, not the Retroarch executable. Is that true? It should be something like:
/usr/bin/retroarch

You're right, that was stupid.  I fixed that but still, not launching.  https://paste.kodi.tv/wiwekawoga

Your application path is still incorrect. It should be something like /usr/bin/retroarch, and it will point at the executable. Not a desktop shortcut

Hello, zachmorris. Thanks for the great work. I use it for me and my 7-year-old kid and he loves it.
Just have a bit of a problem: Some games wonk work, and for me it's fine, cause i can play others and there are plenty of game in the market to play; so how can i delete the artwork / posters and  the games that won't play  ?
Ive tried to delete them in the userdata - addon_data - plugin.program.iagl - temp_iagl but the artwork still shows up in the last played games.
Also, i dont know where IAGL builds the IAGL Favorite folder? I searched almost everywhere and did not find it. I'm i missing something?
Sorry for my bad English, im Portuguese.
Thanks again

 To the best of my knowledge, those are the launchers in Ubuntu.  /bin/,  /sbin/ do not have retroarch folders or launchers.

I've pointed it to the retroarch file within /usr/bin (after running "which retroarch" to confirm).  And it's still not launching :/

@tge101 You're using banned add-ons. Remove your logs from this thread. I'm not a moderator, but they will undoubtedly be along soon.

Use a clean Kodi build. Then try IAGL.
