      @TheAutisticGamer said in Run Games that require a Desktop for SDL:

      EDIT. Is this how its suppost to be done in emulators.cfg?
      sonic3air = "XINIT:/home/pi/RetroPie/ports/sonic3air.sh"
      ports_sonic3air = "sonic3air"

      No, it should be

      sonic3air = "XINIT:/path/to/launch/script/or/program" default = "sonic3air"

      I don't think your game is installed as a port - you should have the emulators.cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/ports/sonic3air and the /home/pi/RetroPie/ports/sonic3air.sh should contain:

      "/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _PORT_ "sonic3air"

      @mitu Thanks - I thought it would be something easy, and it was that. All works now!

      (Just in case anyone else sees this - the .desktop file is in /usr/local/share/applications )

      @dankcushions i dont use bluetooth so never have that problem, the other one never happen im affortunate since i have the pi 4 never an issue. I understood the support but the answer need to be you can but is not recommended and only for pi4b model. The instructions i followed are that in docs, but never make the change in the memory, because i use like a pc the pi os. But all the steps are what are in the docs:

      sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y reboot sudo update-locale LANGUAGE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_GB.UTF-8" reboot sudo apt install git lsb-release -y -》 This step isnt neccesary in Buster an Pi OS git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git cd RetroPie-Setup sudo ./retropie_setup.sh **OK** then choose **Basic Install,** **OK**, Yes

      And update the retropie script every week.

      @yfzdude said in Trouble creating desktop launcher file [SOLVED]:

      I'm still curious if any GNU/Linux wizards know why the original method was not working. Either way it is working now.

      Because runcommand needs a terminal to show the launch menu, launching ES directly would break this. On Debian and friends, you can use x-terminal-emulator as the terminal starting command, which would be expanded to one of the installed terminal emulators.

      @buzz Yup, I stand corrected. I think it is the NOOB image that it was installed on by default. or maybe something else I downloaded.

      @telmocamargo said in Error on resolution - Desktop Version:

      16:9 wide NO

      This option seems to be fine for the resolution - are you using it as the current option or did you toggle widescreen on ?
      When using a desktop environment, like on a PC, you can use xrandr to adjust the overscan:

      @diptwit there is no desktop in retropie. You are not installing retropie. Follow the guide.

      This is the process I followed for that. I don’t see how this could be related but just in case.

      No, it's not related. Alas, I don't have any ideas - try using aptitude instead of apt, it's worth a shot.
