      @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

              @herb_fargus I don't think so, after we changed the xbox 360 xml the crash was fixed. Kodi 16.1 wasn't changed anymore, and alfredox123 has the latest version already.

              @alfredox123 Try using a clean Kodi config. Move or remove /home/pi/.kodi
              You are also using a PSU with a separate USB cable + overclocking and that can also be problematic. Try with a single piece PSU and without overclocking.

              The Gasia controller and your other controller aren't supported OOTB. Check the RetroPie and Kodi wikis to learn how to create a custom configs for both. The Gasia controller is confirmed to be working with a custom config, altough it was tested some time ago.

                tried removing .kodi folder but didnt work, tried using default clocks but didnt work either. i dont have another psu that can power my rpi1 but theres no other thing on the other female space usb (the psu have 2 usb female holes, not two cables). and the gasia corp controller is the dreamgear arcade fighter pad, retropie refers to gasia corp controller as the dreamgear arcade fighter pad. anything else i could try?

                  btw the dreamgear arcade fighter pad works great with keyboard attached on the other usb of the rpi1 (if i disconnect the controller when kodi is executing and after is completly running i plug the controller) all buttons works in the kodi menu so i dont need a custom config?

                    in a few days should arrive my genuine ps3 controller, will try it to see if the problem is because the dreamgear arcade fighter pad is based on a fake ps3 controller

                      today i got my genuine ps3 controller and all works great with kodi and de ps3 controller, even on bluetooth. that means that kodi 16.1 has problems with ps3 controllers labeled as gasia corp controllers (fake ones)
