Vice won't install

mitu

@robbieh If you're willing to give it a try, there may be a solution to get it installed. How familiar are you with Linux ?

robbieh

@mitu not very good with much of this stuff to be honest. I normally use Windows but just wanted to tinker with this thin client and use it as a little project to make use of the c16 case I had? Like my own little updated c16. That s why I wanted fixed to run. I can wait till it's fixed . I'm sure it will be further down the line?

robbieh

@robbieh "fixed?" I meant vice lol

mitu

OK, we'll see it fixed.
@buzz - it seems the Vice's configure script doesn't accept --disable-arts anymore and errors out during the compilation (Vice removed the support for it almost a week ago - https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/code/35961/). You want me to send a PR ?

robbieh

@mitu you know sooo much more about this than me lol. Thanks 👍 I'm just a 42 year old chap who likes to tinker with stuff from his childhood.

Why not give lr-vice a go? Or is this problematic as well?

robbieh

@youxia can't see that option to try it out?

mitu

@robbieh lr-vice is in the experimental section of the packages - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/#installing-additional-emulators. You'll have to use the RetroPie-Setup script to install it, since it's not installed automatically.

@mitu I have removed the option. Thanks for the heads up.

mitu

@BuZz Thanks.
@robbieh can you try again to install vice ? The error should be fixed now and you should be able to install it.

robbieh

@mitu hi @mitu I'll have to try when I get home from work tomorrow but rest assured I will definitely try and let you know . Thanks for all your help 👍

robbieh

@mitu I like this thread. It's been very informative and helpful. It's highlited an issue that I'm sure other people would have come across 👍

mitu

@robbieh Don't forget to update your RetroPie script first, before installing. If you're installing from scratch again, then it doesn't matter.

robbieh

@mitu Ok thanks. I'll update it all before I try to install vice again. Once again thanks and I will let you know how I get on

robbieh

@mitu just trying to install it now. Been so busy this us the 1st chance I've had. It's already looking different on the install so hopefully ok. I have also updated the script before I started

@GadjeT7 @robbie @mitu There's Amiberry for Amiga on Retropie but strangely enough it's not working for me now, it gets stuck on launch. Don't know if there are current issues like with Vice?

Edit: my bad, just needed to rename the kickstarter roms and all is fine with Amiberry. Give it a twirl!
