      @herb_fargus @PetroRie Nice that you have your gamepads working :D
      For now, I have tested one Logitech Rumblepad USB, one PS3 via USB and one very old GreenAsia USB, all working fine. I think most gamepads should work OOTB now, at least the most common ones.
      Since the gamepad support is now official in Kodi 17 for all platforms, for any problems it is better to report them in the oficial Kodi forum, or upstream at:
      https://github.com/xbmc/peripheral.joystick

        @Rascas I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to all this. Learning on the fly. How do I install the periphery add on onto Kodi on my Retropie?

          @nwgalloway If you did run the terminal commands of the first post, you already have it installed. You can check if it installed and active in Kodi -> Add-ons -> My add-ons -> Peripheral libraries -> Joystick Support.
          If it is was not enabled your joysticks wouldn't work ;)

          Running the commands in the first post should be enough to have everything functional. After that you might have to follow this link to configure your joysticks buttons as you like:
          http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Configure_controllers
          PS: The images in the wiki are from an old version of the new Estuary skin, but it should be easy to understand what to do.
          It is as simple as that ;)

            @Rascas I used the prompt from the initial post but when I go to add ons, then my add ons, there is no file for peripheral libraries. Do I need to reinstall or is there a way to add it with putty or SSH? Sorry like I said I'm learning a lot of DIY stuff on the fly lol

              @nwgalloway I don't know exactly what is your problem, probably you did not inserted the commands right. If you are using putty, you can copy/paste everything at once from the black box into putty. It should do everything, and when everything is done, you should have Joystick support in the addons. If you have Kodi open, restart it for changes to take effect. Try the first post procedure again, and if it shows any error post it here for us to see.

                  Anyone noticed a slight lag with video playback? I'm on a RPi2 and the video seems a bit slow. I've checked the CPU usage and it's all really low so it's not a being slowed down by other processes. Could be that it's still in Beta..... Still nice to test this out as I can finally use my gamepad for Kodi.

                    I noticed that the menus are quite laggy sometimes.

                      @beankid Video playback is just fine, no slowdowns whatsoever, but remember the Pi only has HW aceleration of mpeg-2 and VC-1 if you buy the licences. And only low bitrate h265 works fine.

                      @PetroRie Navigating trough menus can be a bit slower than a normal computer, that's normal. Didn't notice any diference here to previous versions.

                        @Rascas Turns out a simple settling of the install made things work themselves out, along with a reboot and it's back to normal. Not sure what was happening at the time but it's now smooth again. Gonna update to V. 17 on all my RPi machines now. thumbs up

                              Works fine on my rpi3. Upgraded from (new) kodi 16 installation (RetroPie-Setup) to beta7 and then to RC1 as instructed.

                              Thank you Rascas!

                              @apoteker : Where do you get this error?

                                  @apoteker You have atleast one typo, a forward slash is missing between armv7 and binary. Make sure your list file is exactly like in the first post.

                                    @Rascas This is what I am pasting:

                                    sudo su
                                    echo "deb http://pipplware.pplware.pt/pipplware/dists/unstable/main/binary /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pipplware_unstable_armv7.list

                                    It looks as if the forward slash is there. Does everything look correct here? Thanks for your help.

                                          That's correct, but that's not what you have in the errors in your previous message, so check it again.
