Here's how it went... no good.
The Atari800 note... just ignore it. It has something to do with my setup for atari800/5200. No idea why that's there.
The binary runs... and installs..but fails and I have no idea why because it rips by so fast I can't read it. There is definitely a message about missing something but I don't know what.
I haven't installed anything else. I'm just looking and reading as I go. I know nothing else will work.
What I don't understand is why it doesn't. I had no issue installing SDL2 and Staging before. Now I can't install binary or source for Staging at all.
I can see the folder structure as it should be, everything seems to be there. It never installs the Dosbox-Staging.sh file. I'm guessing because most likely it's not finishing the install process.
Nevemind... the dosbox-staging file is there, I had to reload ES to display the new file in my list. But still the same end result. The same error. It says:
Executing: bash /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/+Start\ DOSBox-Staging.sh "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/aoe.conf"
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/+Start DOSBox-Staging.sh: line 19: /opt/retropie/emulators/dosbox-staging/dosbox: No such file or directory -
@jamrom2 Do you have enough free space on your sdcard to install new packages ?
Run the installation again, then look in$HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logsand open the latest log, which should have the installation log with any errors. -
found it in there...
meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Meson version is 0.52.1 but project requires >= 0.54.2
I don't get this. I just did an OS update. Not sure why it says I'm at 52.1. I type in "meson -v" in my putty session and I get 0.56.1
-
@jamrom2 What are you installation details ? Is this a PI3/4 ? Which RetroPie version ? If you don't get a binary install, then your OS is too old.
-
@mitu
Pi3b+
4.7.11 Retropie-Setup ScriptI did the OS rebuild via this from nemo93
Retropie menu > Configuration / tools (C) > raspbiantools (215) > Upgrade all packages (1)
or
from the terminal type the following: sudo apt update && sudo apt full -upgrade -yThen I did a core package update via the Retropie menu because after doing the above, I was getting the volume mixer int error message which is now cleared.

This will not upgrade your OS, if you're on Raspbian Stretch or older, you won't get upgraded to Buster.
-
@mitu I'm definitely on buster... at least that's what it shows on the RetroPie-Setup Script header.

In this case you should have the binary install option - doesn't that work ?
-
@mitu I have the binary option but when I try to load it, it gives me that error at the end. Claims I don't have the correct version of meson, which makes no sense.
I also tried the source version, but it crashed as well.
Strange because I had already loaded the source version a while back without issue.

Please post the binary install log (from
$HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs) on pastebin.com. -

all set
https://pastebin.com/DvRGiKgCNot quite, this is not a binary installation, it's a source installation.
For some reason though, your version of
mesonis not the one from the RPI repos - did you remove the RPI repos from youraptsources list ? Otherwise,apt update && apt full-upgradeshould install version0.56.1. -

Here is the correct binary install I just did now.
No, I didn't remove anything manually, but that's not to say something else I've loaded did. I have a few emus that may have twisted my install a little. The Atari800 video script, MESS and Daphne/Singe installs I did I think somehow changed things a little.
I'll try what you posted and see if it works.

@mitu just tried
sudo apt update && apt full-upgrade
it came back with an error:
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?I'm logged in as pi what does it mean by root?

https://pastebin.com/xf6KgvN6Seems to me you're using an older version of the Dosbox-Staging setup script, that you copied manually ? As @nemo93 mentioned at some point, it's now part of the RetroPie-Setup script, so you should remove the install script you copied manually and update your RetroPie-Setup script to the latest version. Afterwards, you can install the binary without issues.

The correct command is
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -
@mitu that might have happened while I was helping to test the newer versions of Staging a few months ago.
Where do I find that script to delete? Is it here?
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators
yeah... that extra "sudo" was missing. It's running the RPI repos update now.
also.. is 4.7.11 the latest RetroPie-Setup script version? If not... then I'm definitely having larger issues.

No, that's not the current RetroPie-Setup script version. If you have trouble updating to the current version, you should open a separate topic.

@mitu much appreciated the time you spent here to assist @jamrom2. Thank you.
@jamrom2 I did check your other thread and I'm glad you get it sorted. Next time please be sure to rely on an official image :-) This is really the only way for all of us to ensure things will work as intended. I've started (and not finished) an article to guide users to setup a clean and easy-to-maintain DOS environment. Feel free to have a look. -
@nemo93 All set. Long story short... when I loaded in the MESS build, I switched repositories from the true RetroPie set to the fork that the MESS build was based on. I never realized this, even though I did do it, I had no idea what it would do to my build. All is as it should be...
DosBox-Staging 77.1 is now loaded from the binary and working ... WOW! Amazingly fast.
For testing I chose:
NASCAR Racing
INDYcar Racing II
Aces Over EuropeAll are running smoothly other than what I pointed out in an earlier post with A10 Tank Killer in regards to music slowing down when text boxes are posted.
NASCAR and INDYcar are very smooth and fluid. Considering these are mid-90s games with a lot of 3d polys and textures, that says a lot for Staging running on a Pi3b+.
What else do you need me to test? Can I now run any shaders on Staging? I'd like to try that.
