      @Folly The information in the rp_help in this scriptmodule is only informational. Normative authority is es_systems.cfg: Enabling .gz can be done in the ~/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg by the user. This core supports .gz but I can not tell for other emulators like Linapple.

            @Retrodade as far as i now its still working,
            when you start the game you need to press a and then launch it with Verbose log

            https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/#launch-with-verbose-logging

            that way it will make a log file that you can post here and we can see what is going on

            also what are you running it on

                You are missing a dependency.
                Try to install it manually from the cli and see if it works :

                sudo apt install libslirp-dev
                

                Or add it to the modulescript in lr-applewin.sh in the function depends and reinstall the core again.

                  @Folly its odd that its missing
                  the script builds it from source

                  gitPullOrClone $md_build/../libslirp https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/slirp/libslirp.git

                  UPDATE

                  yes something it broken, not sure where, yet
                  the script does build libslirp from source and does install it
                  i can do a file search and its there, libslirp.so.0

                  i dont know why its not being found maybe @Lolonois can shed some light on this one
                  im trying a older commit to see if the dev changed something

                    @ExarKunIv ok great i did try the 2 methods above and it wouldn't add it

                    first I tried this way.

                    then I tried adding it in the sh

                      As I mentioned already in another thread: With this outdated version you are on your own (v1.8.5 was added at 2020-04-17 to RetroPie).

                      Currently RetroPie is on retroarch v1.16.0, I tested lr-applewin with retroarch v1.12 onwards.

                        @Folly on RetroPie on RaspiOS Buster this lib is not available as package. There is a reason I added the source build ;-) Please avoid hinting less experienced users in the wrong direction.

                          @ExarKunIv I'd like to challenge that the scriptmodule is wrong/outdated.

                          I had no luck to reproduce the missing libslirp dependency.

                          I have tested with RP 4.8.6 (commit 656a478e):

                          • Explicitly deleted the libslirp installation from /usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ and /usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig
                          • I have taken the scriptmodule as in the latest revision in the gist
                          • I tried with the dialog basesd retropie-setup.sh and as well with retropie-packages.sh lr-applewin

                          No issues.

                          Can you provide a build log of lr-applewin from ~/RetroPie-Setup/logs/rps...gz via pastebin or similar?

                          Do you have the *.so files and symlinks in /usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ after the scriptmodule did run?

                          Does ldd find libslirp? Issue: ldd /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-applewin/applewin_libretro.so | grep slirp, it should give you one match.

                          If there is no match. What is the content of the file/is this file below present?

                          $ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/arm-linux-gnueabihf.conf 
                          # Multiarch support
                          /usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf   # <--- this must be there
                          /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
                          /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
                          

                          If it (=the marked line above) is there, do update the library dependency cache with sudo ldconfig -v | grep slirp. You should see a line like

                          [...]
                          	libslirp.so.0 -> libslirp.so.0.4.0
                          [...]
                          

                          Then check again: Does ldd find libslirp? (see above)

                            With the information I had it was the most obvious hint.

                              I know it installed that just fine for me on my test setup. I'll have to check the symlinks

                              But it end up giving the same error as reteodade

                              I already have it working on my main system. But that was done awhile ago. But I'm going to compare that with my test setup on Monday

                              I find it odd that a few other people are having issues. But you aren't. And I have 1 system that's fine and 1 that's not working

                                  @Lolonois got to love linux.
                                  so i did a clean load to start all my comparing and what not.
                                  and now it works just fine.
                                  even though on friday even with a fresh and updated RP it would not start a game

                                  as you said. you need to update the RP script and update everything.

                                  i did a fresh load and with out updating it didn't work ( as you said it wouldn't) then i updated everything to the same commit that you did and it worked just fine after that. No error

                                  so i did a new card and fresh image
                                  this time i just updated retroarch, that didn't work. (was not expecting it too)
                                  did a full update and like before it now works

                                  So i agree, it is working as it is designed, why it didnt work before for me. i will never know

                                  @Retrodade sorry, as

                                  theres not much I and @Lolonois can do.

                                  the only thing i can say if you want to get applewin to work. you will have to update your system.
                                  as i said above, updating retroarch to the latest which it 1.16.0 will not make it work. you need to the main Retropuie system files also
