      Hello,

      I tried to search the forum, and otherwise to find some help for my problem:
      after installing 3-4 optional emulators (vice, scummvm, amiga (am4all something), and dos) emultaionstation doesn't start anymore with the following error:

      /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.5: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

      I have a raspberry pi3 b
      powersupply is 2000 mA
      I have 5 Gb free space

      I get this raspberry recently with 32 gb sdcard retropie preinstalled and that way it was working for 1-2 weeks. After that I tried to install vice to see some good old c64 games, where I failed, I couldn't see it in the menu next to the other emulators. I tried some stuff but nothing major (installing vice from binary, source, changing c64 roms file attributes) but nothing worked. As I was keep trying to make it work I also installed the forementioned other emus and then emulationstation never could start again.
      I'm stuck, somebody please help, how to install that missing stuff.
      I tried things like
      sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

      Thanks in advance!
