Game library
Kodi does not have a game library yet, although one is in development. Currently, games are managed using a basic file browser, and artwork is not yet supported.
To browse local or network files, the source can be added to the Games window. This is similar to how videos and music are added to Kodi. For more information on adding sources, see Adding video sources.
Game add-ons
Game add-ons provide a fuller game experience, although configuration is sometimes required.
The versions available in Kodi are outdated. You can find the latest versions in the forum:

- Rom Collection Browser - https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=70115
Troubleshooting
If a source is added but no games appear, then you are missing emulators that support your files. This will be fixed when Kodi is able to install emulators from the add-on store.
Alternatively, you can use a "build" from the lead Kodi developer working on games. These builds are typically an unmodified version of Kodi, but with all emulators installed.
The builds are available here: https://github.com/garbear/xbmc/releases
