Thanks for helps. RetroPie setup successfully on ubuntu 18.04 minimal setup.

Update: PI Imager on Windows 7 runs fine but stuck at the downloading progress. I managed to complete the task with Win32 Disk Imager thanks to the details shared in this tutorial. Appreciated for all the suggestions in above! Have a good day!

@Ecks The problem existed for a limited timeframe and it was an external factor at stake - not in RetroPie. The fact that you didn't experience it means you didn't run the installation at that particular time.

@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.

@ohmycommodore this website needs Facebook like reacts 😂

We don't recommend in-place upgrades, and neither Raspbian. One thing to know is that the new Buster images have a larger boot partition to accomodate larger kernel sizes. It might not be a problem now, but in the future this might pose an issue.

Not that I see one (right now). Works fine here.

Thank you so much!

Here's a link - retropie.org.uk/download.

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.

If you want RetroPie now you can install it. The master branch works fine on my 4. Refer to the manual install guide to get started.

@mitu thanks, yes we've downloaded the newest image and she did order a 3B+.

No ideas from anyone? Disappointing... But I guess we can't expect to figure out a fix for everything. (especially if my friend is right) EDIT: YEAH, my friend was right. Screen was dying. No longer functioning at all. Sorry to have wasted the time of anyone who read this - fix a dying screen with configuration changes is....kind of impossible.

@mitu After reinstalling everything seems to work fine. Will test for a few days now. Thanks for the assistance.

That worked for me! Thanks a lot!

@NeoDude Not a mistake, but it seems something is missing. Do you have OpenGL acceleration working ? Have you used Ubuntu's installer or did you manually install the driver ? I'd recommend using the Ubuntu's PPA packages to install the drivers or the Ubuntu package management app (Software center ?).
