How to play SNES on Kodi 19/20?

Help and Support Vero 4K / Vero 4K +

@ilf, here you go. These instructions is on a totally newly installed vero4k+, with Debian11 testing, Hope they are clear enough (English not being my native language):

> cd /home/osmc && mkdir addons && cd addons && wget https://github.com/zach-morris/kodi_libretro_buildbot_game_addons/raw/main/repository.kodi_libretro_buildbot_game_addons_le_armhf.zip
> systemctl stop mediacenter
> sqlite3 /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons33.db "UPDATE installed SET enabled = 1  WHERE addonID = 'game.libretro'"
> systemctl start mediacenter

In Kodi:

  • Settings->Addon browser->Install from zip
    Settings
    Unknown sources “Tick it”
    Yes
    “Back”
  • Settings->Addon browser->Install from zip
    Yes
    Browse to homefolder/addons
    repository.kodi_libretro_buildbot_game_addons_le_armhf.zip
  • Settings->Addon browser->Install from repository
    Kodi build bot…
    Game addons
    Emulators
    Nintrendo * Snes9x(current)
    Install

Back to main menu

  • Games
    add games
    browse to your snes-rom folder
    Ok
    ok

Reboot your vero4k and go to Games, your added snes source and just try to click a rom =)

Hope this worked for you, that last Reboot drove me crazy. Good Luck
