A bit more OS for KODI ;-)

LibreELEC-RR master

---

Abstract

This fork comes with all stock LibreELEC master features but also with 3 different emulation frontends which were integrated into the Kodi Estuary theme. They allow you to run several libretro & standalone emulation cores to play basically all games of the common home consoles, arcade & home computer systems of the last decades.

berryboot images

I tried to convert the rpi4 image to a berryboot compatible squashfs image but I failed. There is berryboot image available for the old version for rpi2/3 but not for your updated version. Can you provide instructions on how to convert the image or host a berryboot image for your version?

Generic Download

Hello,
Are images being pushed to "Generic" google drive link under section 3 of the wiki?

[BUG] Default audio options give no output on RPI4

Describe the bug

The options in the RR Configuration tool cannot be configured in such a way to allow RetroArch to output audio. The RR Configuration tool is also disabled by default.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Open the RR Configuration tool
2. Choose any audio backend or output device
3. Audio driver fails to load in RetroArch

Information

• LE Version: 10.0.0
• Hardware Platform: RPi4

Additional context

To get working audio on the RPi4 i performed the following:

1. Disable RR Configuration tool
2. Blacklist snd_soc_skl (unsure if this is necessary)
3. Check retroarch --features

CoreAudio:
                Audio driver: no
  CoreAudioV3:
                Audio driver: no
  ALSA:
                Audio driver: yes
  OSS:
                Audio driver: no
  Jack:
                Audio driver: no
  RSound:
                Audio driver: no
  RoarAudio:
                Audio driver: no
  PulseAudio:
                Audio driver: yes
  DirectSound:
                Audio driver: no
  WASAPI:
                Audio driver: no
  XAudio2:
                Audio driver: no
  OpenAL:
                Audio driver: no
  OpenSL:
                Audio driver: no

4. Select SDL2 as output device
5. Audio now works
6. No combination of ALSA or PulseAudio gives audio output. Perhaps an SDL2 option can be added to RR Configuration
