That's just it, it doesn't get to complete the Daphne installation nor does it make the daphne folder under roms. It's all still in the retropie-setup/tmp folders when it stops installation. It just seems like it won't install to get to this point where I can put the roms/images..

Did you try a reboot after install? As long as your internet access it working it should install fine, I have installed it on 2 Rpi3's with no issues at all.
If it still doesn't work you could try manually installing.
$ git clone https://github.com/Shmoopty/daphne-pi.git
$ cd daphne-pi
$ ./build-daphne.sh
$ sudo ./install-daphne.sh

@Finhead Awesome!! Tyvm for the manual installation process.. :D I'm going to try that now!

herb_fargus

just fair warning that build is a tad janky and wont work as well as the one provided with retropie.

Shazam

Manual install worked flawlessly!! You are the best @Finhead :D I owe ya one! :D

Shazam

@herb_fargus - I wish I could get the Retropie install to work - but every time I run it, I get the same exact errors, can't find daphne.bin in the Retropie-Setup/tmp area.. :(

Shazam

@herb_fargus @Finhead - Got it working with Dragons Lair!! Thank you very much for your assistance! :)

It would be useful to see the log to see why the RetroPie daphne build failed - please can you upload it somewhere (eg pastebin.com). logs are stored in ~/RetroPie-Setup/logs/

That's great you got it working, it looks killer with Attract Mode front end. I have it and Space Ace working nicely now.

@BuZz Sorry about that BuZz - I would have uploaded it sooner, but weekends are usually pretty busy around here :D

Here it is! http://pastebin.com/SDuMiqyj

are you running a wheezy based retropie image ? Wheezy is now unsupported. What is the output of cc --version ? The C compiler is too old I think hence I think you must be on Raspbian Wheezy.

Shazam

@BuZz - I thought I got the image directly from the Retropie site, but now I don't remember.

The response I get is:
cc (Raspbian 4.7.3-11+rpi1) 4.7.3

Is that the image you are referring to? Do I have the wrong image? I don't mind wiping it all out and starting over if I have to. I'd rather have a good version that's working than not :)

BuZz

and the output of cat /etc/debian_version ? Looks like you have an old image - you will need to start from a new Jessie image. Perhaps you downloaded the image before we switched over to Jessie.

BuZz

if you update the retropie-setup script, it should warn you if using the unsupported Raspbian version.

Shazam

@BuZz - That comes back as 8.0

I run the script - says that it's fetched the latest version and then flashes so fast and comes back to the menu system.

BuZz

ok that's correct - so look like you somehow have your default gcc set to 4.7 then - instead of 4.9

best bet would just be to remove gcc-4.7 for now (and make sure gcc-4.9 is installed)

Shazam

@BuZz I'm a complete noob when it comes to this stuff. Do I need to format the sdcard and start from scratch or is there a simple way to change it?

Thanks for all your input btw! greatly appreciated!

BuZz

from terminal - sudo apt-get remove gcc-4.7

but starting from a new image is an option if that doesn't solve it.

BuZz

without removing gcc-4.7 - this may sort it too

sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 /usr/bin/gcc

Shazam

@BuZz Awesome! That worked! thank you very much! :D
