@mitu
Thank you, just realized I'd probably need an adapter and a good keyboard for this.

@mitu Heh, well. At least it works, right?

It's basically the same thing, but a different OS and some dependency installs.

So essentially to get this to work I would have to compile a version of the kernal with the PanFrost files included.

I'm thinking that this would be easier, considering my linux-fu is scraping by level, to go with an actual pi or something like an orange pi.

At least it works for my original purpose for a 3D printer were everything is done via ssh or web interface.

Anyway, cheers for the help.

@mitu

Wonderful.

I am happy to see that I am not insane. I really appreciate your reply.

@fmentiplay Because it hasn't been updated yet. But you can update once the image is written easily enough.

@mitu I just saw the other answer in there, I'll try changing those flags and see what happens, thanks!

No worries, it's a common mistake. Have fun playing games !

@mitu awesome, that did the trick! I now have RetroPie, SteamLink, and Linux desktop all running on Raspberry Pi :)

@benret Raspbian Jessie is no longer supported - I think you get a nice message about that when you try to run the RetroPie-Setup script.

Installation on Buster hasn't been 100% vetted, but most bits should work - support for it will probably be part of the RetroPie release that supports the Pi4.

For now, using Raspbian Stretch will give you the best supported Raspbian version for RetroPie.

RetroPie though uses Raspbian Lite underneath, with very little changes added to the system. As far as wireless/networking goes, there's literally no change from a stock Raspbian Lite installation.

Ok thank you for that.
I just wasn't sure if the same bug was in stretch and that the documentation had not been updated, as the documentation also stated that bug before retropie moved to stretch in april.
Thanks

@vance Even trying those URLs in a browser returns errors. Did you run sudo apt-get update first? Maybe the mirrors have been changed for China.
If that doesn't work you can try commenting out the Chinese mirrors and adding alternatives from this list https://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianMirrors to /etc/apt/sources.list
I'm not sure how that will work in China though so...

Please add more details about your system as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

The RetroPie image is based on Raspbian Lite (Stretch or Jessie, depending on which image you choose), so you would be better to install the Stretch beta image provided and then update the binaries.

@dankcushions Thanks for that link. I will try it.
Right now when I booted up the Pi it "mounted" the ROMs perfectly. So it seems to happen spontaneously - weird.

@BuZz I have a premade retropie in my raspberry pi zero, I use this one to play with 8/16 bit consoles and c64 emulators, with my raspberry pi 3 B i try to learn what are the things I can do, try which mame roms works and which not (without mess my primary retropie in raspberry pi zero), try to instal 3.5 lcd.....
