It's not posible. This is a Kodi Linux distro like Openelec or OSMC.Will be really nice if he manages the pkg install, and your are able to launch and return to the ps4 dashboard
I wonder if one day you will be able to launch ps4 games/apps threw it

Retroplayer has been merged into Kodi v18, it's no longer a separate branch.Its not just kodi, its the retroplayer fork of kodi, meaning built in retroarch emulation, this gives it even more functionality than the official xbox one version (last i checked the retroplayer features were axed from it)

Its cool either way, personally I would prefer something I could easily navigate between Kodi to the original dashboard like on xbox one, but i suppose emulation is the trade off there.

Will be great when v18 finally goes out of beta
The emulator addons aren't included, you can take them from the Retroplayer test builds or compile them yourself.I guess much people would prefer a native apps, but it's need a lot of work, and time, it's need an perfect open source SDK for Orbis OS, and many others things.
It's better efficiency to work and run homebrew under a linux kernel. Orbis kernel is closed source, and environment of work is not trivial. I'm thinking it's better to use our energy and purpose homebrews on PS4 with Linux Kernel, and we have many drivers for many USB devices, filesystem supports...
But if someone want to port RetroPlayer natively for OrbisOS, well... Good luck, many work to do, much more than running it under Linux, sames for updates, very restricted devices compatibility, limitations, etc....
It's should be better to improve payload, or found a way to launch it from the XMB, and improve GPU performances of Radeon drivers.

I've compiled latest Kodi 18 Leia yersteday, and libretro still not here...

Reasoning being that it doubles the size of the download.
At some point they should be easily available from an addon repository.
Also, you still need the Konami code to make the game menu appear.
This info comes straight from the retroplayer subforum on the Kodi forum, in one of the pinned threads there.
Didn’t they have this already with rom collection browser?

Gotcha! Pretty cool! Wish kodi performed better. Things are working like they used to. I miss the good old xbmc days...
Sorta, but retroplayer is built into kodi and basically allows retroarch cores to be installed to kodi as addons, which you can then use with RCB roms, or your own sources. RCB doesn't actually do any emulation you still had to redirect the app to the external retroarch.
