Sorry, I don’t have the slightest idea. I just found this solution on another forum and posted it here. But since the firmware files are the latest upstream versions, you might have more luck checking their issues page whether somebody reproted similar problems and, if not, opening an issue there yourself.
Guys, sorry of I have missed this in the thread but have installed the 17.8-178 build on my Pi2 and wanted to try out the retro games options. I’ve enabled on of Snes EMUs and copied over some roms to the Pi’s SD card over smb. On launch, I get some text on screen (too quick to read) then the OSMC sad face, then am shortly returned to the menu.
Looking at the emu dependencies, game.libretro is unavailable. Have I missed something or is this just the current status and I’m ahead of the current development? Id thought from reading this that it was working, albeit in alpha but could be wrong.
Thanks.
Not sure of the Snes emus are working but game.libretro is included in the build.
Enable debug logs, replicate the error and post logs.

Thanks for confirming.
Here’s a log on 17.8-178:

And one on 17.8-179
https://paste.osmc.tv/ayapijubed
Hopefully something useful from them given the sad face appeared as soon I select the rom so no time to upload a log.
Thanks,.
Not seeing any errors in the logs which might cause this. I’ll see if I can replicate the issue on my box.
Its finding game.libreto though.
Does the crash occur when playing any snes game? Have you tried any other emulators?

Hi, I’m stuck in a crash loop since updating (I hadn’t updated for a while now). I’ve enabled debug logging but I can’t find anything suspicious, and I’m grateful for any idea…
https://paste.osmc.tv/yihezimoyu
It seems to reliably crash at this point:
DEBUG: InitialiseFeature - using libCEC v4.0.2
Don’t see anything specific that would cause the crash.
Possibly a addon causing problems.
Try stopping mediacenter, renaming .kodi to .kodi.old and restarting.
Are you on build 17.8-180? If so try going back to 17.8-179 to check if its a issue introduced in 180.
Thanks. It’s really weird. I tried Beetle Snes on the earlier tests, but tried Snex9x tonight and one of the others (sorry can’t recall which). I had more success there in that the crash did not occur and the rom seemed to play but only gave me a black screen. This is with roms of Super Mario World, Gods and Aliens Vs Predator. I even trued renaming the roms to remove spaces or any odd characters like [!] but no dice.
I was logging it all then tried to loan ScummVM, it hard crashed my Pi, couldn’t even SSH in. I;ll try again tomorrow and repeat the steps minus ScummVM.
This is what I see when I load up an Emulator dependency screen:
As you can see, game.libretro shows as Unavailable, contrary to the log.

Did a quick test with the snes emulator and also getting a crash. Probably one to take up with the addon developer.
