Why can't I install OpenMSX?
-
I'm going mad trying to get a particular MSX game to run. lr-bluemsx won't load it, while fMSX loads and runs it fine but is an absolute trainwreck controlwise (let's not even get into the specifics there).
So I tried installing OpenMSX, but it wouldn't. I get this incomprehensible gibberish as an error log, mentioning libao-dev and tcl-dev (whatever the hell those are) and Steamlink (which I don't have installed). Anyone give me any clues?

@SpudsMcToole your RetroPie-Setup is out of date. Also Jessie is no longer supported. You should start from a recent Stretch based image (like 4.5.1).

@BuZz After literally thousands of hours building and refining my current install I can think of absolutely nothing more horrific and traumatic than installing a whole new OS iteration and starting again from scratch.

@SpudsMcToole backup sdcard. Backup then restore configs and roms on new image.
If you don't want to do this, unfortunately you won't be able to install some emulators.
