      For example. Adanced launcher strats a game using the comand "retroarch mame2030 %rom%"
      Now mame2003 is the core name and the core file name is different. How do i find the core names for all emulators?
      emulation station starts the game by using the -L param and specifiing path to the core file and path to the rom file. I wan;t the core name to cfg advance launcher.

        One of the devs here might be able to help, but at this point we're pretty far away from a relevance to RetroPie. You might find that you have better luck asking these questions in the actual RetroArch forums.

          So why 1 o f dev don't answer. i wanna use the retropi i mage but replace the front end with kodi and rom collection browser but i don't know haw to configure the rom collection browser. It asks for the retroarch.sh script and the core name of the emulator to launch, it is not rocket science but i don;t know hot to find the core names, i notice they are using path to core names but has to be something easier.

            You have to understand that the type of support you're asking for falls well outside of RetroPie's intended functionality.

            i don't know haw to configure the rom collection browser.

            That being the case, you might also try asking around here as well. Together with this forum and the official RetroArch forum, you'll increase your chances of getting the answers you need.

            it is not rocket science

            Maybe not, but it's also completely untested and not within the intended normal use. This might simply be a can of worms that many just don't want to open. Someone may still reply here with the information you're looking for, but I would definitely try hedging my bets on this with the other links provided.

              @mediamogul if I may. I agree. It is outside of the scope of the retropie project and you'll have better luck with retroarch/kodi

              But if OP doesn't even know what the core names are or how to find them it's highly doubtful he's in a position to be able to get a kodi based rom launcher to work. And as its out of the scope of the retropie project none of the devs have any interest in such a thing as its more in the realm of kodi dev. If a community member is interested then more power to them, but I don't anticipate this being a function of RetroPie in any official development.

                It's an interesting idea, but it's also an incredibly long path to walk for what amounts to a change in interface. If you ever do get manage to get this operational, I'd be interested to hear the details. Who knows, with the addition of 'RetroPlayer' in the near future, maybe there will even be a greater demand for this type of thing from the masses.

                  @mediamogul its also possible that down the road kodi with the xmb menu may also act as a launcher of sorts which could be a way to integrate kodi that way too. Many ways to do things.

                      Bull shit.
                      I have tested retroplayer today. No scraping options or tutorial, have to manual install all the emulators and beside that issues with the controllers. I doubt that dev team of retropi does not know how to start rcb in kodi. And why all the movies on youtube with only adding roms not also installing the emulators. And why able to install kodi on retropi since i can't use all the ad-dons from the repos provided officially or not especially when it comes with retroarch installed? So retro pi devs are implementing a software that have no idea hove to use?
