      Firstly I'm a newbie, so please go easy on me.

      My setup is as follows:

      Hardware: HP DC7800 PC
      Memory: 3.8 GiB
      Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz × 2
      Graphics: Intel® Q35
      OS: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS - 64-bit
      RetroPie Version Used: retropie-setup - bump version to 4.7.17
      Built From: on top of existing OS
      USB Devices connected: 2 X Logitech F710 controllers
      Guide used: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Debian/

      Firstly I had followed all the instructions & had all my emulators, games, ports etc working.

      The only exception was N64, which was unplayable, running at 2-3 FPS & constantly hanging. The only emulator that would work was lr-parallel-n64. All other emulators wouldn't even launch the games.

      After some research I read that the changing the retroarch video driver to vulcan would help.

      I entered the retroarch GUI through ES & edited the video driver & saved on exit.

      As soon as I did this all the emulators stopped working.

      So I tried to go back in & undo my changes, but now the retroarch GUI wont launch from ES.

      I tried manually searching for my retroarch config file but I cant find it?

      Any ideas?
