          @meleu hi,

          I'll try to get this for you soon; having some issues since switching out sd cards a couple of times earlier today to do testing - a kernel panic on boot, and then after a few more reboot tests a 'fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed' message.

          I had a kernel panic on 5th July after removing the sd to make a backup image and the re-inserting it (not on the first boot though). Oddly enough, on my Pi 2 (with the older sprung-loaded sd slot, not the Pi 3 friction slot) I'd sometimes have to re-insert the card a couple of times for it to be recognised. I have used a number of different sd cards over the last year or so.

          Anyway, I'll try and get that information to you soon.

            I tested on a friend's raspi3 (I don't have one) and, indeed, RetroArch defaults menu_driver to xmb on raspi3. In other words, the menu_driver line is commented and when I invoke the menu with select+x it shows this screen:

            xmb

              @meleu I was unaware it even functioned on the pi. I can't even get it to run on my pc. (As an aside the blank squares are due to the lack of the assets folder)

                @herb_fargus to avoid this confusion I've just made a PR to explicitly use rgui as the menu_driver.
