[QUOTE="Brownard, post: 1176849, member: 48291"] New version released, now with Libretro support! Check the [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/Extensions/Emulators/Libretro']libretro section of the wiki[/URL] for detailed information. [URL='http://www.libretro.com/index.php/home-2/']Libretro[/URL] is a project that aims to create a unified API for running emulators, each libretro core implements the actual emulation whilst allowing libretro compatible frontends to implement audio and video output and user input. By implementing the libretro API the latest version of the plugin is able to run emulated games 'natively' in MediaPortal 2, just like playing a video :). Cores can be downloaded from within the plugin, just select [I]libretro[/I] as the emulator type when adding an emulator, then select [I]Download Cores [/I](Some cores require additional bios files to run, check the [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/Extensions/Emulators/Libretro/Adding_Libretro_Cores#Additional_Requirements']Additional Requirements[/URL] section of the wiki) You will need to map a controller, again check the [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/Extensions/Emulators/Libretro/Mapping_Controllers']wiki[/URL], HID and XInput devices should be supported. Sadly some cores make use of [URL='https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/ms682661(v=vs.85).aspx']fibers[/URL] which are not compatible with .net/the CLR, notably MAME (try FBAlpha instead). Check [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/Extensions/Emulators/Libretro/Core_Compatibility']Core Compatibilty[/URL] for more information and alternatives. Using multiple HID controllers is untested and things like removing and reinserting HID controllers may not currently work correctly. [/QUOTE]
