A few questons before buying raspbarry pie3
-
I'm using OSMC here and obviously a different combination of addons, but my personal experience with Kodi 17 has been pretty positive, not counting the day or two... or three it took to get used to the new user interface.

@Rascas As an aside. At what point are we going to admit that Kodi 17 is broken? I have jumped through all sorts of hoops and tried to make this work. There are major bugs with this 17.0 and 17.1 RC1 that are being ignored. Why will KODI no longer save my skin settings? It will a few times, but then randomly decides to restore default settings. Btw I am using a supported skin.
The skins I use the most are the old Confluence, Aeon Nox and the new Estuary and never noticed something like that, either on Kodi 17 (or older versions) on PiPplware/Raspbian/Retropie (with the same Kodi versions) or x86 OSs. Seems like data corruption and that is generally caused not by software but some hardware problem.
-
@Rascas Hmm. I don't think so. I have no other issues except for Krypton. Been running Kodi for a long time with no major issues. I have 2 set ups. 1 I held at 16, all good. The other I upgraded. Nothing but random issues and crashes and rests.
-
@AlexMurphy I dont think it is a software problem, I compile Kodi for Raspbian since the release of the first Raspberry Pis and I think I never had a complain like that, at least that was not proven to be an hardware problem, like faulty/not suituable SD card, problems relative to the power supply or excessive overclocking.
-
@Rascas Again, I find it odd that I had zero issues going back to Frodo. Now I am suddenly having issues with Krypton. Anyway, I appreciate your replies but I have to have the last word. Something is broken in 17, it will eventually sort itself out but denying it is pointless. I have seen so many Kodi stalwarts say the same, with the same issues. It is NOT a user error.

Do you?

If that happens to you again, please post your Kodi log, both the current and the old one, they are both at /home/pi/.kodi/temp/, it should state the problem. I became courious, because like I said, it would be something new to me, if there is really a problem not caused by 3rd party addons, I am sure that wouldn't be difficult to have it fixed ;)
Also, try with a clean Kodi config by deleting/moving /home/pi/.kodi -
@obsidianspider No. I'm not that sort of person...
-
@AlexMurphy OK
-
@obsidianspider Thanks.
-
@AlexMurphy no problem
-
@obsidianspider Take care.

Well I did it I bout it, was $ 112.99 Canadian with the tax with free shipping for the complete one. DO i need a usb stick to. I have a usb keybord.
It could of been worse, was thinking in getting the Analogue Nt and get it jail broken. that would of cost me alot more and no snes.
Anyways any good usb nes controllers or adapters that are good. the one's on amazon.ca don't have good reviews. may stick with the snes controller if it works.
I hope DBZ Hyper Dimension works for the snes.
I seen a reviewer on youtube that said that scandisk ultra 32 gig card doesn't work for him. I have a 32gb ultra plus lying around is that good or better then the one that comes with it. Or is the sd card that comes with the kit good enough.
Is 32gig enough for most of the non cd games with kodi. I may put some psx in there but not a hole lot. -
I was checking my order and noticed that I didn't complete my order. Doe. For some reason the complete one doesn't have free shipping anymore so I ended up getting the ultimate since it was about $5 more then the complete with payed shipping.
CDN$ 135.59 with free shipping and arrives Tuesday, March 28 . -
congrats! Let us know how it goes :)
-
im exited for RetroPie 4.2. Did they fix this video issue in this update you guys are talking about?
Has anyone tried the satern emu yet?
A reviewer said that newer neogeo games may have slowdowns is this correct like svc chaos and the newer king of fighters. Hope the metal slug games work good thou.
I really need a good nes controller for nes and SMS. -
I got some thermal past from 5 6 years ago is it still good? it's been open before I used it on my computer when I built it.
-
@Deltax5 should still be good as long as it is not all dried out. However I have never seen a heat sink for the pi that required paste. All the ones I have used that an adhesive "thermal sticker" pad on them. just peel off the backing and press it down on the processor.
-
@Gosenbach And for my entire life of building PCs, I have always dutifully scraped that adhesive crud off and added thermal paste like Arctic Silver. I used that sticker goo on a PC once. And I had to rebuild it.
-
@Lyle_JP yes, I get that with a PC. However with a PI, there are no attachment points to screw on a heat sink. For the record, I have 5 Pis. I have used 2-3 different types of stick on heat sinks designed for the pi. never once had a heat problem. I'll call them good enough. :)
If you are using another method of attaching a heat sink to a pi, how are you doing it?
