@TeknoRaver said in DOSBox-Staging (install from source error when launched):

And you add more swap ram via using the vram method you mentioned before right?

No, that's for telling EmulationStation it can use more VRAM from the allocated GPU memory.

If not, how do you add more swap ram?

You create a swap file (see https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-22-04#step-3-creating-a-swap-file ) or modify the default swap file size (see https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=46472).

@mitu I've recompiled it with the SLD1 version and the speed is up again (hooray!) but it doesn't seem to want to output as opengl, so the screen size isn't playing ball again, sadly.

@mitu thanks,it looks like xinit wasn't launching but in any case changing to SDL2 has made it much better! Much appreciated.
