@eralimtv Well, as it says Raspbian Stretch 9 is not supported. RetroPie is built on Jessie 8. Just use the image from the site https://retropie.org.uk/download/

Thank you for reply. Can you tell me how can I add EmulationStation link on Kodi main menu? I am using RetroPie image with automatic boot jn KODI. But how to launch EmulationStation? I used custom script in custom menu with action to System.Exec(opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh) EmulationStation launch correctly but when I am run any game EmulationStation back to KODI and nothing. How to fix it? Thank you

@eralimtv It's explained in the FAQ: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-boot-to-the-desktop-or-kodi. Just exit Kodi and you'll be booted into Emulationstation.

@mitu Thank you! I will try now. How to upgrade Kodi to the latest version 17.6 on RetroPie image?

@eralimtv How did you install Kodi ? If you have used the RetroPie setup script, then the Kodi repositories would have been added to your system and the normal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade way of updating should work.
Execute the commands

# Update the list of packages
sudo apt-get update 
# Show the Kodi package
apt-cache policy kodi

to see what's the latest version available from the repositories.

@mitu I installed KODI used RetroPie script. I want to customize PORTS menu. Change name instead of PORTS and If its possible replace KODI from PORTS to main menu but change name KODI to IPTV for example. Do you know how to do that? Thank you!

@eralimtv This is explained again in the docs - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/KODI/#kodi-as-its-own-system-instead-of-in-ports.

Latest available version of Kodi in Raspbian Jessie/RetroPie is 17.4 because 17.5 and 17.6 do not compile anymore on Jessie due to new ffmpeg patches which are not compatible with gcc 4.9.2.
To fix it we need to use a newer version of gcc or make the patches compatible with gcc 4.9.2. Either way is not easy to fix, I will see what I can do.
