      Hello everyone, so I was trying to install openBOR on my Raspberry pi 4 running the newest version of retropie with support for pi 4. And I ran into some issues. I discovered that apparently openBOR depends on devpng12-0, and not devpng16. I have provided the process below in which I came to this conclusion, and I am also requesting support for openBOR to be run on devpng16. Please let me know if you have also run into this issue and how you came to resolve it. I thank anyone for the info they can provide.

      Details:
      Raspberry Pi 4B w/4GB ram, 64bit processor
      Power Supply used: MODEL DCAR-RSP-3A5C, INPUT 100-240V AC, OUTPUT: 5.1V 3.5A
      RetroPie version: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) - Linux retropie 4.19.97-v7l+
      Built From: RetroPie-Setup version: 4.6.1 (4464b474)
      USB Devices connected: SNES controller, USB keyboard
      Controller used: SNES controller, USB keyboard
      Error messages received: Did not find needed dependencies: libpng12-dev. Trying to install them now.
      my logs are under: home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/logs

      After receiving this message, I went onto google and researched libpng12-dev

      I followed this guide: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/05/fix-libpng12-0-missing-in-ubuntu-1804.html?m=1

      and chose the 64bit link, and also the 32bit link (I tried them both)

      libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb
      from: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/15108504
      and
      libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_i386.deb
      from: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/15108507
      Then tried to manually install them one at a time.
      my Pi then gave me an error stating that the i386.deb was not compatible and the amd64.deb were not compatible due to it operating on armhf ?

      Unfortunately I do not have the logs for the armhf message, but here is my log for the other error which started my whole research.
      Again, thank you for any support you can provide! Please let me know if this is something I can fix, or if my assumptions are correct.

        This was the guide I used to begin my openBOR install:
        https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18565/tutorial-openbor-the-complete-guide

        Basically, I am asking if there is a way to either get the devpng12-0 that will run on armhf, or if there is a way to script openBOR to work with devpng16? Has anyone done it? And if version 4.19.97 is missing devpng12-0, where can I get a version that will work with armhf?

          openbor doesn't depend directly on that package (see here for what dependencies are downloaded for openbor).
          Your log shows that you're having issues with apt updating its list of packages and a problem installing one of libsd1.2-dev dependencies:

           E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

          Do you have install manually other packages on your system and/or set some packages to held ?
          For the record, openbor installs and works fine on RetroPie - same version and distro you have.

            @mitu thank you for your response, we did have openBOR installed before, but it took us to a screen saying:
            openBOR v3.0 Build 3016
            no Mods in Paks Folder

            After getting this message, we then uninstalled and reinstalled the openBOR package.
            This time, I followed this guide
            https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18565/tutorial-openbor-the-complete-guide

            And ended up with the error message.
            Did I mess it up with the uninstall and reinstall?

            Is there a way to fix my version of openBOR without having to start over with a fresh img?

              This means you haven't copied or extracted any OpenBor games to the installation folder, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/OpenBOR/.

              You've downloaded a separate script, that has a separate set of dependencies - it's probably not going to work for the current Raspbian Buster version.

                @mitu Ahhh, so is there a way for me to 'undo' what I did? So I can get back to the original version I had downloaded directly from optional packages on RetroPie? (that's the version that gave me the 'no Mods in Paks Folder' screen).
                How would you recommend proceeding? Do I need to reinstall RetroPie in order to get the original script back? Or start with a fresh install/img?
                Thank you again for your pointers so far

                  Revert the changes you've done manually - if you don't have backup of the scriptmodule you've replaced, then you should copy the default version from the RetroPie-Setup repository and replace the one you have.
