@enderandrew looking on zdoom threads people have had this issue before and had to go back to an older version. The people on windows couldthen just update again and it would work. I had retropie 3.8.1 on my nes cart pi so i just downloaded zdoom without doing an update to the retropie setup script. Then i put that on my main pi. Works. Tried updating after that and no dice. So im just on the older version. Dont bother me though. It is working so i am happy.
