[vn800art]

You are simple and amazing! A pleasure following your improvements! Kudos!

I found a version of Advanced Launcher that works on our hardware :

That's the one i'm using, I still haven't got it working on my MXQ

I uploaded my sources to build RetroArch addon: https://github.com/kszaq/openelec.retroarch-aml

I'm now working on improving my OE builds, I'll post RetroArch build for Jarvis when it's ready.

Cant wait thanks so much!

Can you see if you can compile a ppsspp_libretro.so core? I am hearing that Raspberry Pi can run Tekken 6 PSP iso at full speed. I am eager to give it a try...Would be nice to have 1080p tekken 6 on the stick.

Yes, ppsspp core is included in Lakka for Odroid-C1 so I think it should be working on our devices. You can extract the core from my Jarvis build below. Maybe this build will even work on Isengard?

Here's a test verion of addon for Jarvis: http://s805.eu/test/retroarch-s805/
I don't support it or claim anything to work, it's for you guys to test, I have no time to play with it.

I have loaded the Jarvis build (6.91.1) on my MK808B+, and the RetroArch 7.0.1. I got hold of the PunchOut ROM and managed to get it to start from Rom Collection Browser. The problem that I have is that the only thing I have to control it with is a WiiMote. I don't have any other game consoles. Does anyone know how to get the WiiMote to work with this version of OpenELEC and RetroArch? I read something somewhere about running 'joyconfig', but can't find that in the RetroArch folders. My WiiMote is correctly paired, and can be used to operate OpenELEC, along with my Panasonic TV remote via CEC.

nigelg While the punchout rom is running and your wiimote is connected via bluetooth, press F1 on a USB keyboard. A menu will pop up. Navigate to settings : input : Input User 1 binds : then look at device index...it should show your wiimote...then press "bind all" and you will be able to input all of your button presses. Then save the autoconfig ...then each time you start a ROM and the wiimotye is connected...it will load the proper autoconfig that you saved.

sammaz Thanks for amazingly quick reply. Will try tomorrow. Cheers.

nigelg We have a Dolphin core now so you can use your wiimote for actual Wii emulation now let me know how bowling works!

sammaz I hate to do this (spoiling the fun) but *.info files are not cores, they are only information files for RetroArch. I may try to add these cores to my builds but as they're disabled in Lakka, I suppose they may not work on our devices.

Then save the autoconfig ...then each time you start a ROM and the wiimotye is connected...it will load the proper autoconfig that you saved.

@sammaz I have tried this. I can get into the menu via F1 key, but I don't see anything related to the WiiMote in 'User 1 Device Index'. The only options I see there are:

N/A (Port #0)
N/A (Port #1)
N/A (Port #2)
N/A (Port #3)
N/A (Port #4)
Disabled

In 'User 1 Device Type' the options I see are:

RetroPad
RetroPad w/ Analog
None

The WiiMote still works fine for operating Kodi. Do you have any more ideas? I have read some posts about WiiMotes and OpenElec, but I think they are mainly quite old, so may not be relevant.

Have you run the autoconfig profiles update through retroarch? It should download and install all of the latest controller configs shown here :

https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig/tree/master/udev

Wiimote is listed there...but if you dont have that latest .cfg file in place it wont show up in the Device index.

[nigelg]

Can't see Wiimote in the list, only Wii Pro Controller. I only have the little Wiimotes that came with the Wii.

I tried the online update, but no difference.

It looks like that guy got his wiimote (original) working by writing his own autoconfig script...I only have PS4 controlers and a wired xbox360 controler...both work perfectly after running a "Bind All".

I think that guy was just trying to get the keys mapped correctly. I reckon the MK808B+ RetroArch must have no driver for the WiiMote because it doesn't see mine at all. Which version of OpenELEC and Retroarch are you using now?

I think I'll just monitor this thread and see how things progress.
