@mitu yeah. Will add it based on info above. Might need to set as Debian Sid. But that's no different with our current logic anyway.

I am using cardcrazy as theme but even if i change to the basic theme it is stuttering..not directly but if i am scrolling around through the systems a bit. I think the onboard gfx has no seperat ram.. its shared.. ok, will try to switch off the videos and check the vsync.. but as on raspi i cant find a config.txt file for trying some tweaking. On Pi i had once after an update probs in the menu and was able to fix it with adding the line gpu_mem=256. Could it be that it has something to do with the 64bit Version of Mint? I think retropie in gerneral is a 32bit application.. ?

@10vorne I dont have any experience running it on a netbook. Sorry! Maybe someone else more knowledgeable in that area might be able to help.

@10vorne It's part of vice-x64, but Emulation Station doesn't factor into it. It's set from within the vice-x64 settings menu.

I edited scriptmodules/helpers.sh: local own_sdl2=1 to scriptmodules/helpers.sh: local own_sdl2=0 This just uses the default sdl2 installed on the system. Seems to work ok

Ok guys, this time it works fine. You were right BuZz. Ty all.

@jaydeesox Please give us more information https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first What OS are you using? There is nothing underneath "Here is my error message"

@lurkout performance / familiarity. We don't use retroarch as a frontend, so there is less need for xmb. I'm quite happy leaving it with the boring old gui for now anyway - but users can switch if they want.

@zod041 just launch emulationstation from a terminal or type rpie on the mintMenu.

@herb_fargus do you live in tualatin? lol unfortunately no, it's only my first PC PIII(Tualatin) name, that i take as nickname. Does emulationstation work just from the terminal by typing in emulationstation? yes it works, but now i have another problem, my sixaxis dont mapping correct, can it be a problem of internal bluetooth in my laptop, i need to use external dongle ? Whith my usb controler it work fine.
