        It's working great for SNES and NES, PSX however my netbook doesn't seem able to handle.

        I was wondering how to save/load states from within a game, I have found an auto save feature, but I would prefer to manually choose to save, how can I access this?

          Also it keeps asking for my sudo password, not with every game so do I need to change a setting in retropie or chmod the files directly?

            @fallen00sniper This is detailed in the documentation for Ubuntu installs.

              I've looked repeatedly and I did not see it, I find only how to install and troubleshooting for issues like connecting the PS3 controller, maybe I am looking in the wrong place.

              I think I resolved it by reverting a setting to not display the game image on load.

                @fallen00sniper I'm running xubuntu (17.10) and it runs just fine

                I installed it through the retropie setup script

                This pleases me:) is there any reason to think it may not work with unity? I've been holding off updating in case it didn't work.

                  @fruitybit it should work, though unity takes more resources, if you have the ram and cram I don't see any trouble with it.
                  I am limited to 2gb ram and I despise the day Ubuntu switched to unity, but I don't like mate very much or gnome 3 either lol.

                  I've gotten SNES and NES to run fine, PSX hardly, N64 and wii is a nope at the moment.

                  Also,
                  I tried setting up in my windows machine following the video, but it is a bit outdated and retrospect crashed scanning my PS2 directory.

                  I like the windows version, but it seems much more difficult to get working properly since it isn't unified with emulation station.

                      If you try to emulate PSX, make sure your bios files are named properly and lowercase, spent hours reading and searching just to find I had forgotten to do this with retroarch on windows, might even fix my netbook issue lol
