      Hi all

      How can i get Retro Pie to run in windowed mode on Ubuntu?

      I've tried editing Retro Arch config but it didn't work, I want the whole thing in windowed mode, UI, emulators etc as i watch YouTube while playing games on the same screen.

      Help massively appreciated thanks.

        @rracer the various emulators in retropie are configured for fullscreen mode - running within the desktop as a window is not supported. you might want to try something like retroarch standalone: https://www.retroarch.com/
