      I setup RetroPie initially and had no issues what so ever, installed Kodi and it was running great. I went and did something stupid, I Installed ALL experimental packages because I didn't see DraStic in there and I thought I was updating the list. After that RetroPie just didn't feel the same and work the same, even after I ran Remove all experimental packages. So I uninstalled RetroPie from the setup script, formatted my SD card, put the RetroPie image on the SD card and went through installing RetroPie again (Hopefully this was the correct way). I installed the Kodi package again, but it seems to be acting the same way again, I can't move to select anything within Kodi, it's basically useless. I'm wondering if there is onboard RAM on the Pi that I am not aware of that I should have wiped as well. Any help or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

      Raspberry Pi 3 B
      RetroPie 4.1.11
      Logitech F310 controller, also have a Wii U Pro controller working (not currently connected)
      USB attached keyboard, also have a Rii mini i8+ wireless keyboard working (not currently connected)

        Can you select stuff in Kodi using a keyboard? As far as I've read, Kodi v.16 doesn't work well (at all?) with controllers. Kodi v.17 (in Pi testing repo) on the other hand is supposed to have controller support built-in.

        If the keyboard isn't working either, then something else is going on.

          Thanks for the reply sos_retropie. No, I can't use the keyboard as well. It launches but I can't move from "Pictures" left or right, I can move up and down to get to the power button and exit Kodi, but nothing else. It was working beautifully until I did a stupid thing, now I just want to start from scratch and get it back to working properly again. Not sure if the steps I took to uninstall RetroPie and start over were correct. I ran uninstall from the GUI, then formatted the SD card and started over again. Gameplay works great, the only thing that doesn't is Kodi. I can get by with it on my Amazon Fire TV, would be nice to know what the hell I did wrong and fix it.

            Not sure if it will help anyone but I do see /home/pi/kodi_crashlog-20170128_234518

            When launching Kodi it says that it logs to /dev/shm/runcommand.info, when I looked at that it just said "KodiKodiKodi", not very informative.

              Disable the joystick or update to Kodi 17 betas.
