      @pygamegirl The PC installation needs an internet connection to download RetroPie and the source of various programs needed (emulators/front-end/etc.).

      If you're looking for an offline install, you can try other retro-gaming projects like Lakka, Recalbox or Batocera, I think they include everything in their image and don't need an internet connection to complete an installation.

      RetroPie uses the Raspberry Pi OS Lite image - if that will support GPT for the root drive (boot + root), then RetroPie will have no issues with it.

      Since the current RPI OS images are using MBR, you'd have to re-partition your disc and copy over the files to the new partitions if you want to use GPT.

      I'm a bit confused. If you're using the Pi4 image provided on retropie.org.uk/download, there's no additional installation to be done - RetroPie is already installed and the system should boot to EmulationStation.

      How are you installing RetroPie ? Is a Raspberry Pi OS image from raspberrypi.org working on the device ?

      @yseult said in Unsure how to install DraStic:

      How to replicate the problem: Searched for DraStic in optional packages, main packages, and core packages (just to be sure), couldn't find it.

      not sure enough - it's in "experimental" :)

      you beat me to it :D

      @buzz @mitu I have a VirtualBox's Virtual Machine set to Debian (64 bits) running Raspberry Pi Desktop (https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/raspberry-pi-desktop/), which may be 32 bits?

      Then I followed the guide on how to install RetroPie on Ubuntu/Debian https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/raspberry-pi-desktop/

      @emrecaglar if you need any help to set it up please let me know - I went through some of problems with this combo (it's a bit more problematic than RetroPie for Pi :)).
      For sure you can change priviliges for config files as you won't be able to save any config in RetroArch:

      sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/retropie/configs/

      Please just be mindful that this way you give access to this files and folders to EVERYONE which means that if someone connects to your computer then it has full access to all files and folders in this path.
      In my case it does not matter as I don't have constant network access to this device (it sits in arcade cab with no lan/wifi) so not much of a deal for me :)

      PI Imager on Windows 7 runs fine but stuck at the downloading progress. I managed to complete the task with UUByte DMG Editor.

      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.

      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.
