@Paul_Washington Can not confirm. Just updated, now running the latest OSMC from 4th of February 2018. RetroPie, EmulationStation and the emulators themselves all work fine.
Gotta say, though, that I installed Jessie-OSMC, installed RetroPie, updated OSMC to January/Stretch, applied danyeaw’s workaround like described above, and finally updated OSMC to February.
Reinstall with an image from before the Stretch update (OSMC_TGT_rbp2_20171102.img for example) and try again.
