Libretro Cores

The Game API in the Kodi Game branch has a Libretro Wrapper which is 1:1 compatibility with the libretro API, so all libretro cores are valid game add-ons. Libretro itself is a well defined interface to handle the communication between a frontend (Kodi with RetroPlayer) and an Emulator Core (e.g. nestopia).

Here is a list of Libretro cores which have already been ported into Game Add-ons for Kodi:
