@herb_fargus to avoid this confusion I've just made a PR to explicitly use rgui as the menu_driver.
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/1674

@alareqi you were rude, hence my rebuttal. I stand by what I said.

@cborris uae4all IS uae4all2...

@dgraham1977 you have a few options.

start fresh with 4.0.2 and then manually edit your configs based on the aforementioned post or disable xpad, downgrade your kernel, and enable xboxdrv

or use an earlier version where xboxdrv isnt broken.

if you're updating from a previous version, update your setup script, select update all installed pacakges to update, then disable xboxdrv, install the xpad driver, and change your kodi configs

personally I would just recommend a fresh 4.0.2 and then modifying the kodi configs.

The kodi issue will be solved when kodi 17 stable is released.

Required BIOS . lr-Fuse when you start looking for a BIOS file. It is necessary to put in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/fuse/128p-0.rom

using /etc/module for module options has been deprecated for some time, but worked in Raspbian Wheezy. Now it doesn't - the wiki needs updating in this area - feel free :-)

@BuZz I thought maybe because nano is a linux text editor it would auto convert EOL.
But anyway, there is an option in notepad++ for EOL conversion so I've just set it to UNIX. I'll give it a try after Kodi is done importing my library.
Thanks for the help

Did you enable the root account and login as root ?

You should install from the "pi" user

It would be easier to do a fresh install than debugging this imho, as you will want to reinstall from the correct user.

updated.

@mat03111984 haha if it were that simple...

The Saturn had two CPUs and a whole bunch of other graphics chips. The hardware is relatively complex compared to the other consoles at the time. As emulation emulates the hardware the more complex the hardware the more difficult the emulation. They are still making progress though

Interesting video on some recent developments:

Ok, that gave me pointer to look for what x86 packages I had on the system, looks like mesa-utils as from www.deb-multimedia.org was causing all the problem.

Removed the foolishly incorrect repo, RetroPie-Setup --> Install Kodi worked perfectly.

I should have mentioned that the error is coming from wifi.sh

Just checked, yes it works through the RGUI menu.

Update 1: very odd, the hot key works for the load state (SELECT + L) so it appears its only the save state hotkey not working.

Update 2: Ok so it appears I can save state but without any consistancy I have to spam it and if I spam (SELECT + R) too much it complete unpairs the controller and I have to re-pair it to get it working again. So perhaps its something just with the build quality of the SFC30?

Its not the worst thing I can always going in the RGUI and save/load.

I dropped in all the bios files from read the forum rules!
for SNES int o/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS and it still has the same message in the log.

@danneskjold in terms of your special characters you can either ssh through putty or change the keyboard configuration:
