      @timbellomo please sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to update firmware/kernel. then boot up and do free again.

            Something's definitely wrong - did you update the firmware/kernel via rpi-update at any point ?

            [    0.000000] Memory: 111528K/131072K available (6348K kernel code, 432K rwdata, 1716K rodata, 476K init, 764K bss, 11352K reserved, 8192K cma-reserved)

            Let's see when you have updated to the current firmware/kernel

              Are you running a standard RetroPie image downloaded from our site or something custom ?

                i burned retropie-4.1-rpi2_rpi3.img. 99% sure from your site. But as I said, I'm running it 100% off of USB, without any SD card. After dist-upgrade it doesn't boot at all anymore :/. Nothing on screen

                  @timbellomo I've not done any booting off USB, but you will want to probably request for help from raspberrypi.org forums where the firmware/kernel devs etc are. I can't really advise further (It's a Raspbian/firmware issue).

                    copied bootcode.bin and start.elf from backup and it's booting again.

                    new dmesg:
                    http://pastebin.com/6vJKQkgw

                    i haven't updated the firmware/kernel via rpi-update.

                      There is an issue with the firmware/kernel you are running I think - I cannot advise further and if updating stops it booting, perhaps there is something wrong with your usb booting set-up. I would report to raspberrypi.org and get some advice from there.

                          Thanks so much. Updating the firmware got me sorted. It's showing the proper amount of memory now... It's just not booting into emulationstation. Just drops to console... working on that now.

                          EDIT: It was the memory split. Reverted and now everything boots up again. Back to the beginning; installing emulationstation-kids.
