Im trying to get RetroArch to work with OpenElec (XBMC) but it appears to not want to work, the only way im able to get RetroArch to work is by using the add-on that zaggash from the OpenELEC forums created,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pe6g22d1vqfrd … x86_64.zip
but it only has a handful of shaders. If i open up the zip file there is a core folder which has the cores inside and also includes the info for each core as well, but rather than the core files being .dll they are a .so file!!!. If i add say bsnes_balanced_libretro.dll and rename it to bsnes_balanced_libretro.so and also add the bsnes_balanced_libretro.info file to the above zip file and repackage it when i load retroarch in OpenELEC it does indeed show the bsnes_balanced_libretro core but when i click on it the status text at the bottom of the retroarch scree says that there is no core select.
Any ideas what the heck a .so file for the cores are or how i can successfully add more core to zaggash’s RetroArch add-on?
