Hey Everyone,

The developers behind the popular app "Kodi" are looking for developers to work on the app. Primarily, they need help with the pc, and xbox one version. If they don't get the developers they need, they might abandon the xbox one version according to their post.

Kodi is a popular app that allows for streaming, playing media. The app is also used for gaming as it has a bunch of plugins that act as retro game emulators. Although the gaming plugins (as far as I'm aware) currently don't work on the xbox one, but might work in a future update.

Details of the role are inside the article. If you got what it takes and you care about kodi, this might be the job for you. It might also be a really good chance to improve your skills further.

Doesn't that mean they're abandoning it either way?

Nope, they will abandon it if they don't find the developers they need. From what it sounds like, they will focus on other versions regardless. But they need help with the uwp, and xbox one version of the apps.

I get that, I just mean, if they have other people develop it, then are they really "working" on it? It would be no different if they abandoned it then other people worked on it, unless I'm missing something here

I think it just means that they will need the help of someone else to be dedicated to that specific port. Especially with how uwp can be challenging.

I never worked with them, but I imagine the way it works now is the same developers are trying to maintain the xbox one ports are also working on other ports, which is obviously demanding. And so, they want to have more developers dedicated to just the xbox one port. And they will be available to help and guide.

Kind of like how retroarch currently has developers dedicated to the xbox one version, but there are others who work on all versions of retroarch.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
