      Hello everyone!

      First of all I'm a newbie in the Raspberry Pi/Retropie system.
      I have a Raspberry Pie 4 and wanted to install Retropie; I was following EtaPrime Tutorial on YouTube but during the installation it pops me out this error: "Unable to install binary for sdl2"

      Do you know how to fix it? Can you explain it in a very simple way?

      Ps. I know that Retropie is not available yet.

      Thank you in advance!

        And yet you still open a topic asking for help.

        Install from source instead, it should work.

            @Banci Easy, run from the command line:

            cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup
            sudo ./retropie_packages.sh sdl2

              @Banci the ETA prime tutorial is not correct btw. It doesn't use the dev branch afaik (unless it's been updated). As pointed out, this is not supported yet anyway.
