@BuZz @mitu Yes, I realized at some point the other day my foolish self was in SU and I processed an update which is why this all happened! Thanks for all the help! This can be closed.

How about if your start an xterm, make it fullscreen, then run LC_NUMERIC=C emulationstation

@mitu No way at all?

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop Resolved the issue, and PS2 appears in the EmulationStation frontend. .bash_history doesn't show any evidence of the desktop environment being removed - by way of shell command.

I've enabled Pulse again for within EmulationStation. It seems to fix my problem so far. I'll keep a close eye on this.

great installation are done (y)

You can symlinks some of the (larger) ROM folders to the external storage if you want to use both discs, otherwise you can just run all your ROMs from the external disc - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/.

@mitu Thanks a million mitu, it's works. PROBLEM SOLVED. you are genius!

@Efriim said in Which emulators benefit from Vulkan (x86)?: lr-Kronos(Sega Saturn) - In development The author showed interest in it and bought a book for this purpose, but development hasn't started yet. That's why i said in https://www.libretro.com/index.php/kronos-1-7-0-new-renderer/ that it was added on the roadmap but to not ask for an ETA, at the very least don't expect anything this year.

@Efriim Thanks! Gonna give it a go.

@dixeflatline I think you could compile it for armv8a. How much memory does the switch have? You might be able to compile it on the switch.

@mitu Thanks. Though I find it hard to believe I'm the only one wanting to use a x86 machine but with the same user experience as RetroPie on a Rpi. So no desktop just plain retro gaming, seamingless. I can't find any good tutorial on this. Makes me wanna go back to my Rpi... Problem with the Rpi is that it isn't powerful enough to Run Dreamcast and GameCube games.

@mitu Alright! Then I will wait until the Scraper problem is fixed. The autostart is already implemented in the retropie programm. Just need to go to the retropie setup and set the autostart option to enable. My Retropie is now starting automatically. When I quit Retropie, I have my normal Ubuntu Desktop. Anyways, thanks for the help! I am done for now.

@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 ?).

@cookiepanda Can you get the ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt file and upload it to pastebin.com to take a look ? Has the installation been performed successfully or there were errors during installation ?

@pjwentink Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first Start a new topic and provide details of your set up and issue.

Right!! If there’s anyone still there. I’ve managed to change them so retroarch sees my numbered buttons. It still won’t save. When I go into input for user two and click bind default all it changes to how I want it. But it just won’t save!!

The build fails because of a missing header file ./libretro-common/include/glsym/rglgen_headers.h:27:10: fatal error: EGL/egl.h: No such file or directory Normally this should be part of the package libegl1-mesa-dev - you can manually install it before attempting the installation with: sudo apt-get -y install libegl1-mesa-dev
