      @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.

          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

                      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 .

                            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?

                                      @Gosenbach Actually, I've never heatsinked a pi, and the only time I overheated one was when I forgot to take the pi-hat hatch off my case. They just don't seem to need anything but air.

                                        this kit im getting has a heatsink. so im guessing it comes with some sort of pad or something like that wondering if my thermal past would be better. I need a reccemended nes controller.

                                          @Deltax5 Thermal paste would be better. Don't buy an NES controller, it doesn't have enough buttons. Or buy one if you like the feel and keep a keyboard handy.

                                            @Deltax5 I recommend an SNES USB gamepad. It has enough buttons for most systems and games, and feels better in the hands than a squared-off NES pad.

                                            The iBuffalo pad gets high marks from most users. I use a Cirka and have no problems with it.
