@vof Nintendo DS, possibly, but definetly not Gamecube or PS2. The latter two are fairly intensive systems to emulate, especially the PS2, and you'll almost certainly be getting very low frames per second. (very possibly <1 FPS)

Those two are really only suited for relatively beefy machines and high-end netbooks.

@rthorntn Switch the RetroArch video driver to sdl2 or try logging in with a Wayland enabled session. See

Managed to fix the issue. I reinstalled Ubuntu and followed the same steps as before, except I didn't do the update and upgrade step before downloading the installer script.

@buzz thank you so much...... this has worked...... will just a normal download and install work now as I’ve a couple of PCs to do for the kids bedrooms...

Thanks so much

@endi80 Did you also install the emulator ?

@buzz

Thanks a lot - yeah I thought i'd open an enhancement anyway as I did some reading and one of the Retroarch devs confirmed the SW and HW cores are identical, except the HW one has the additional options. Both are the same if you run in software mode:
https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/7hxke8/psa_psx_beetle_hw_is_absolutely_amazing/dquv1jp/

So I figured it would probably be a useful enhancement enabling HW support at some stage - albeit I appreciate not high priority.

@psyke83 has kindly done a bit of work already to enable and i'm happy to test this out:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/2279

Thanks again.

@optimal123 said in Retropie install fails every time I install it..:

But what about that other issue? does that mean that I wont be able to use the N64 emulator?

Re-install again the MUPEN64Plus package, just this one, from the RetroPie setup menu, then look in ~/RetroPie-Setup/logs for the last log file. Unpack it then upload its contents to pastebin.ubuntu.com.
Compilation probably fails, but in order to see why we'll have to look in the log file.

thanks bro, i will try :)

@movisman good to hear you're going to go back to it!

In the end the e35 wasn't powerful enough and required legacy AMD drivers. I ended up with an ASRock AIO board rocking an Intel J3160 and it is flying.

After a huge amount of experimentation Linux Mint XCFE was my final distro. Light enough to keep performance high and startup times low but feature-full enough that I can back out of ES and use it for other things should the mood take me.

My RPi3 kinda got abandoned in the end due to hitting SD card limits or poor performance in PSX and 64 games so with this x86 install giving me that extra oomph, I'm fully invested again!

@mitu said in Advance MAME won't make a working compile on Ubuntu 17.10:

CFLAGS="-fno-stack-protector"

I created a pull request in github.

@cloudd I ran the code on this page and i got the mayflash dolphinbar
working on the latest fedora 36 desktop, super happy playing super mario galaxy with dolphin emulator installed from fedora software center

Hi,

Thanks great answers,

Much appreciated:)

@buzz I'll be more specific and patient next time. I got ES reinstalled and now everything works as it suppose to.
Thanks for help.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall retropie. I removed the binary drivers but nothing helped. :/

Package is removed on my 17.10 Ubuntu - need to update the module to change dependency to just vlc. Should be ok on 17.04 though - you definitely not using the latest beta of Ubuntu?

Thanks! Especially thanks for the links!

Yes, I can confirm that a rebuild of lr-fceumm worked. Thank you for taking a look at it.

old post, but yes I have this same issue. sometimes it works but sometimes not. Did you figure it out?

@charlie22911 You can try now to re-compile - do a fresh git clone/pull or a re-install from source in RetroPie. It looks like the last 2 commits fixed the compilation error - at least for me it compiles now, didn't try running anything through the core in the emulator.
