They allow you to run several libretro & standalone emulation cores to play basically all games of the common home consoles, arcade & home computer systems of the last decades.

This fork comes with all stock LibreELEC 9.2.2 (Kodi 18.6) features but also with 3 different emulation frontends which were integrated into the Kodi Estuary theme.

(Note, simply typing sudo chvt 1 does not work. I also discovered that if I type sudo chvt 2 sudo chvt 1 I can get back to a console I can see.
KODI THEME EMULATIONSTATION MANUAL
One manual fix I’ve learned is to type alt+F1. I have functions to switch the app in one call, but I want to be able to simply stop whichever app is running and get to the console. I can use the connected keyboard (and type without seeing what I'm typing) or ssh and start up another OS, but stopping one of these apps still results in a black screen. I wrote a function for each system to stop that system, but I have 2 problems.Įach OS will stop, but if I've run Kodi at some point, I don’t see the console when I stop whichever one is currently running. My intent is to use them in homebridge-commander so that I can switch between these apps using Siri. I’ve written a bunch of shell script functions that allow me to switch between these 3 apps which require exclusive access to a vt channel: raspbian, emulationstation(/RetroPie), and kodi.
