      Hi, all.

      I'm having problems getting Kodi working with RetroPie. It installs fine, but once I try to launch it, it quickly exits. I've searched google for answers, but no luck. I think it may be related to the graphic resolution it's set to, which is 240x216. This resolution works for every one of the emulators except for Kodi.

      Thanks. Any and all input is appreciated.

              @ignatius Post your /boot/config.txt file. You should have at least 256 Mb reserved for VRAM. Is your resolution really 240x216 ? that's an odd resolution.

                Hmm. I don't seem to have a /boot/config.txt... And yes, that is the resolution.

                  The entire /boot directory is empty.

                      Yes. I'm using a Raspberry Pi Zero W. It is actually the "SEGA VMU" edition of the RPi. A Raspberry Pi inside of a SEGA VMU unit.

                        The specifications are standard. Except for the display, which is retrofitted to the RPi Zero W. I have no idea what the model of it is. I actually bought this RPi off of eBay. I did not build this myself.

                          @ignatius We don't offer support for 3rd party images - especially the ones sold with RetroPie - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Selling RetroPie is agains the project's license, so you just enriched a scammer. You should ask the seller for support.
