@mitu This help request can be closed out. I ended up uninstalling retropie and Ubuntu and put Batocera on my SSD. Batocera seems to be more user friendly in terms of initial installation and settings. From what I've read Retropie has more options/settings but my emulation needs are simple and Batocera serves me well.

@mitu Thanks again for your help.
It appears to be every Emulator, nothing is working now. Will start again and hope it works.

@litsince which stock image? We don't support this system currently.

Well, It turns out that my sound problem was probably due to the display refresh rate not being on sync.

After many reinstalls (both OS and Retropie) I was able to make sense of all this and I now can enjoy Retropie again on my old laptop with Lubuntu 20.04.

Thank you mitu for your time, this is really appreciated.

Forget it, everything works fine! My mistake. :)

Run emulationstation --debug from a terminal window and post the output. My guess is that there's no HW accelerated GL support, but the log output would help confirming the assumption.

@norstein said in pcsx2 won't install // unable to locate package pcsx2-unstable:

Maybe installing add-apt-repository should be included in the base installation, since it is used for several packages?

software-properties-common is installed by any *-desktop meta-package, what options did you choose during installation ?

What's your use case ? When do you want to display the marquee - gameplay/game browsing ?

@mitu

Looks like the Nvidia driver I had installed was the culprit. I removed it and used the Nouveau one and Emulationstation now starts but launching games fails. I am troubleshooting further.

Try pressing Scroll Lock first.

Thanks for replying mitu, much appreciated. I will try this as soon as possible. :)

@Paxi said in RetroPie on Ubuntu Mate 20.4.01 HDMI sound issue:

there is only a 32bit version available.

RetroPie has only experimental support for 64 bit on the Pi, using the Raspberry OS 64 bit beta version.

Isn't there anything more I could try, specifically in RetroArch/Pie config?

You can try to disable PulseAudio and make sure RetroArch uses ALSA.

Not that I know of.

Everything is fine now, the site came back online, restarted the install and it went fine till the end.
Thanks!

My user is "hollywoodarcade", so everything's located here: /home/hollywoodarcade/RetroPie

I'm guessing I'm probably in the wrong directory

@mitu got it. sounds like I need to upgrade my GPU then

@csocsoi - Thinking of installing RetroPie on Mint 20 myself today, any issues to report? Reasons to use older Mint rev?

Thanks

Great, thanks - to be honest FS-UAE is working great with my single ADF files, I just need to find a way how to make it load multiple ADFs in one go.

@mitu perfect. Keep being awesome
