@sleve_mcdichael That seems to have sorted it, thanks very much :)

@addison give it a try again. sometime github is flakey.

i just gave it a try and i was able to install it with no issue

@frolickin Thanks for the kind words, and glad you have everything up and running.

@posti85
the workaround is to check you gcc version on your setup for example mine is 9.3
in CLi type
gcc --version

then in the scriptmodule as @mitu advised initially find the 2 entries pointing gcc-6 lines 20 and 32 (im having 4.7.2 rpie setup script) and in my case i added gcc-9 fo example
save, start or restart rpi setup and should compile ok
BUT again as @mitu
i d recommend lr-mgba which is better for gba

Works like a charm

Thanks.

@warpath0007 Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@BelligerentBash said in running retropie_setup.sh basic install without gui:

The output I get from running with no parameters (sudo ./retropie_packages.sh) does not list the 'sub-parameters' for the setup parameter, or even the main setup parameter.

The first parameter is the module. The second is the function to call. It does list all the functions.

Dear @mitu, your suggestion worked like a charm, many tnx, I'll give a try to Ultimarc-linux as well.

I bought it from a local retailer 1 or 2 years ago.

Thanks !
I try for the last 4 days :(
Do you know if its possible to try to do the clone of the ffmpeg first ? its seems that's the module with the problem

@Darksavior Ty for this information! I am a visual learner so I usually default to youtube for help, sorry :/

It's not end-user friendly but it's possible..

You would have to compile it for pi (if available), add it to the emulators folder and edit it into the config files and es_system.cfg

That's how I have Mame4Rage2 and Supermodel running on my x86 build.

Actually I just saw the performance test...I think I will get a Pi4 and modify the Nespicase lol...I want to play ps1 dreamcast and some n64 Mame etc, the Pi1 B+ doesn't seems to be strong enough for all this.

@privatelupo If you're targeting a PC, disabling Vulkan might not be desired. The build options for RetroArch are set in build function of the install script, so it can be patched easily.

Awesome! Thanks! I wrongly assumed that because it wasn't officially supported yet the manual process wouldn't apply for some reason.

This is still somewhat confusing as it has you editing files that may not even exist and aren't accessible by the default samba shares. Also, leaving out that chmod step was very bad. I may need to write my own better guide if nobody else has made a simple one.

Anyway, I did this over ssh to make es_systems.cfg accessible so I could open it in Notepad++ on Windows

sudo cp /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/

I also had to do

sudo chmod -R 0777 /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

in order to allow me to edit it. This is not easy stuff for dum-dums. It needs a script really. People who just want to play Pico-8 games cannot understand all this arcane wizardry.

Also had to switch to using pico8_dyn

I shouldn't have to choose between running the pico8 cartridge directly versus running splore. I should be able to do either one, anytime. How do I fix this?

@quicksilver

That's good advice. I have two cards that I alternate between when it's time to upgrade. It's intended as insurance to protect my time, but I've never actually had to go back to a previous card. As far as the difficulty of upgrading is concerned, I run 33 systems in RetroPie that are highly customized, as well as dual boot into an equally customized OSMC and it only ever takes about 30-40 minutes to upgrade and restore my settings back to where they were. Granted, even that amount of time can be hard to come by during a hectic week, but that's why God invented Sundays... well, you know, that and all the praising, but I doubt he's ever smited anyone for catching up on a little computer maintenance all the same.

@mitu Thank you so much! ApplePiBaker worked so much better!!!

@mitu thanks dude, that was it.
i had removed everything with kodi- before it in
synaptic package manager and then reinstalled kodi
from binary in retropie and restarted retropie/es
and now kodi shows up and runs within ports!
thanks you

@Darksavior Nevermind, I found it. That worked perfectly. I'm getting the quarter of a screen problem too, but that can be fixed. Gotta admit, I think I probably enjoy setting up the RetroPie more than playing the games.
