Cores Libretro ?

mitu

No libretro core has been removed, I'd say look again.

Sebiohazard

I made the last update & the theodore core as well as the vice core are not present ?

Core caprice32 does not want to install ? I have a lot of error messages I don't understand ?

mitu

The Vice and Theodore cores are not installed by default, they're in the optional and experimental sections - look again.

For the Caprice32 core, there's an issue on older distros with cloning the upstream repository - which version of Linux Mint are using ?

Sebiohazard

I'll take a look... I'm using Mint 19.3 Tricia which is an old version...

Is that why I get an error when installing ?

For the Caprice32 core, yes.

Sebiohazard

So Mint 19.3 is not compatible with the latest version of RetroPie ?

mitu

@Sebiohazard Just because one core fails to install doesn't mean it's not compatible. If it wouldn't be compatible, the installer would have told you so.
Leaving that aside, Linux Mint is an old release and support for it - from the upstream project - will stop in 2023 (if it hasn't already).

Which distributions Linux do you recommend ? Ubuntu ?

Sebiohazard

How to install the Caprice32 core ? Or another CPC emulator ?

You'll have to wait a bit to find a solution for this problem. The other Amstrad CPC emulator is CapriceRPI, but it's only available on a Raspberry PI.

Which distributions Linux do you recommend ? Ubuntu ?

If your distribution supports upgrading (in-place) to a newer release, I'd recommend doing so. Otherwise, if your system is constrained by a 32bit CPU, I'd recommend installing Debian or perhaps deciding to get a a newer PC/system which supports 64 bit and use the same distribution.

Good evening but I don't have an old PC it's an Intel i3 7100 & it is 64 bits ?

I do not understand your message ?

In this case, you can install or upgrade to the current Linux Mint release.

mitu

@Sebiohazard the install error for Caprice32 should be fixed in the latest RetroPie-Setup, you need to update the script and you can install the core.

@mitu great thank you it works :)
