Thank you so much!!!
Now it works!
Can I add this command somehow to an autostart script or something? Because after every reboot I need to type it into putty again. If not so thank you anyway 
You can add it somewhere at the start of /home/osmc/RetroPie/scripts/chroot.sh
Hello,I have a question about N64 Emulator. When iĀ“m in a game using mupen64plus / gles2n64 i tap " ESC " and i get out of the emulator. Can someone help me getting the retroarch settings because i dont know how to go there to change the controls and vĆdeo settings. Sorry my bad English.
I already told you here:
open the /opt/retrosmc/opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus.cfg file and edit the controls.
mupen64plus (not lr-mupen64plus) doesnāt have anything to do with the retroarch controls. it is a separate emulator outside of retroarch. So it will not respond to retroarch control config changes.
If you want to change the button to exit the emulator, youāll have to configure a button or buttoncombination on the joypad for that.

Thanks a lot. I will look in to it.
I think that a good change will be reduce the video (entrance/exit) duration. The ānon-animationā duration is too long (~2ā5 seconds with the KODI and ES logo, with 1 second transition). I think that 1ā5 or 1 seconds will be better (4 or 3 seconds total)
But with this, the scripts works very good. I had the first script (and I continue with it in my installation), but I tested the new in a new OSMC installation and it works good.
The video is a beautiful addon, but as I said, it is too long: 2ā5 seconds Kodi + 1 second transition + 2ā5 seconds ES + ES real splash screen. 3 Seconds + real spash screen will be better (I know that I can edit the video)
One question: What version installs this script? I see that it downloads a .zip, so I supose that is a provisioned version. Can be updated? (RetroPie is in 3.2.1, or more in git master)
I tested this with different speed sdcards and a pi1 and pi2.
There are a lot of differences in loadingtimes, so I choose the one that works in all circumstances.
If you want to disable the video entirely, just delete the video.sh file in the scripts directory.
Edit: This script installs version 3.0. I have to modify the image before it is usable. I plan to update to the 3.2 image shortly though.
I worked out the solution to my problem. My Xin-Mo dual arcade joystick board was recognized as only one joystick in /dev/input, as js0. I followed the advice found in Home Ā· RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup Wiki Ā· GitHub , so I wrote on the same line the specific data of my device, leaving a white space the following: usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040
After rebooting the pi, in /dev/input i found it was finally recognized as two independent joysticks, js0 and js1. No need to patch the kernel or doing complicated stuff 
Hello, this summer to spend many days to launch, OSMC and retrosmc and even I was tester of the first version, I took several months without play, I buy one joystick bluetooth but not worked for me, so I ask you please me say me If any of you bluetooth joystick has some running (Iām interested in leaving a single stick bluetooth keyboard and joystick)
If you have the link to Ebay or Aliexpress where ye purchased would you do me a favor
Thank you
Soā¦ a few times I encountered a slight problem: since Kodi is still running on the background while Emulationstation is running, sometimes my keyboard would start controlling Kodi instead of ES (while nothing appeared to happen on ES, I could hear sfx from Kodiās menu). So, I added āsudo service mediacenter stopā before ES loads, and āsudo service mediacenter startā after ES exits. Is this a bad idea? Iāve had no negative side effects so far, but I just wanted to make sure that Iām not doing anything potentially harmful.
Although it should not be necessary to have extra lines to stop and restart kodi, it shouldnāt hurt.
Normally the scripts should do that for you already.
In what file and where did you add those and did it really fix the issues?
Maybe itās a fluke, iāve used Retrosmc dozens of times, and said bug only happened twice (both times it happened when I ran the Launcher almost immediately after booting up Kodi. The keyboard started working on ES, but it went into āKodi modeā soon after (when an addon made an āupdateā noise, it was probably the Pulsar service booting up).
EDIT: I thought it had solved the problemā¦ until it happened again just now.
I added it in chroot.sh. Specifically, I added the āstopā line just before the ES line, and the āstartā one just after the ES line.
I think you will have to wait a bit until kodi is fully started, as the stopscript will not interrupt the startupscript.
So your fix will likely not help.
Just give kodi time to start up.
I shall weep for the wasted seconds of potential gamingā¦ but youāre right, everything usually runs like a charm if I let everything load in peace. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for writing this guide, it is really useful and just what I was looking for.
I am having a problem though, when I try to download the script I get this:
GnuTLS: A TLS fatal alert has been received. GnuTLS: received alert [0]: Close notify
Hey mcobit and jboy, you guys are gods !!!
You made my Pi2 just rocks !

I was loosing hope about making this nice gamepad working, been trying for 2 days until i found this loonnnnng post, you made my day. Now i just need to config the pad for each emulator, but i made a few tests and itās perfect !! THANKS AGAIN for this great piece of work. I think iāll make a post and video for french people in the next few days.

Iām glad I could help.
The problem with the sdl2 binaries on OSMC for rpi2 was that Raspbian Jessie has tslib, which Debian Jessie doesnāt - the binaries were built on Raspbian Jessie, and tslib support got compiled in. I have disabled that now, and have built new packages, so the binaries now work fine on both Raspbian and Debian.

This sounds like excellent news!
Iāll try to test out on a clean build soon. Then maybe we can have a full, non-chroot install of RetroPie on OSMC. That would be awesome!
I seem to be having issue getting my NTFS USB HDD recognized within the ES/RetroPie side of things. It works wonderfully within OSMC. So what Iām wondering is how can I get this done? When ever I SSH into the machine it SSHās into the OSMC side of things so it easily sees my USB HDD, however if I go into the File Browser within ES it does not. It seems to see /opt/retrosmc/* as root instead of the actual root of the device. I tried installing NTFS-3g within File Browser which it comes up as saying it can install, but for what ever reason I cannot give it a Y to start it. Just ends up telling me press any button to continue in which it goes back into File Browser.
Any insight would be great! As I would love to use /media/usb/ for my roms, where ES is actually trying to look at /opt/retrosmc/media/usb/ where there is nothing.
