        @alfredox123 No, in RetroPie 3.8.1 it is still on experimental menu, it changed only in 4.0-dev, so please change the topic description to be more clear.

          @alfredox123 I'm using RetroPie 3.8.1 and used that walkthrough and I have a working link to Kodi inside the Ports menu. I also did what you did before and installed Kodi 15.2 first so that might have made the menu entry but I also uninstalled Kodi 15.2 then did the above walkthrough.

                There was an issue introduced after 3.8.1 as part of the 4.0 changes that broke Kodi the kodi install (in a way that the 16.x repository never got added). If you update retropie-setup this should be fixed now (or stick with the 3.8.1 image and dont update)

                                @BuZz i feel really dumb now xD unplugging my controller and using a keyboard worked, if i use my controller when kodi already started control works to navigate in kodi menu, it seems that i need to do this everytime i start kodi if not kodi reboots it self

                                  i tested a bit more, if kodi already started and i plug only the controller without keyboard, it start to reboot again, if i dont use keyboard or controller and use my tv control it works as it should, same with only keyboard and same with keyboard and my controller.

                                    Check if it is not a power related problem. Make sure you are using a good PSU with enough amperes for what you are using with the raspberry pi. PSUs with separate USB cable can be a problem since only the good ones works fine, make sure there isn't problems with your connections.
                                    If it continues, post your Kodi log to get more detail.

                                      i have metro pcs 2.1a charger with 2 usb on it for charging 2 things at the same time, i only use for the raspebrry pi, i dont think is power related because it works fine with the controller and a keyaboard on both usb, but when i put only the controller it reboots infinitly so theres something wrong with my controller, when retropie recognizes my controller it says gasia corp which i think are the fake ps3 controllers? fake ps3 controllers doesnt work well with kodi 16.1?

                                        @alfredox123 there have been some controller incompatibilities that have caused crashes particularly Bluetooth ones.

                                            @Rascas is it possible it's doing the same thing that caused the crash when I added the xboxdrv? I wonder if he removed the Xbox config we add by default will fix his issues
