      Hey I was trying to install the RetroPi on my Rasberry Pi 5

      From my googling I got told that I should use this guide:
      https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Debian/

      I followed the instructions, opened up the installation script with sudo and then did a basic install
      However I saw a lot of errors going on during the indtall and it ended up looking

      Then the installation finished

      Could not successfully build lr-mupen64plus - N64 emu - Mupen64PLus + GLideN64 for libretro
(/home/precise/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/lr-mupen64plus/mupen64p lus_ Libretro. so not found)

      I got that messagw, not sure if more failed, it said it stored a log which also was corrupted so I couldn’t read it.

      Hence I am here now, anyone know what this is all about?

        It's not corrupted, it's probably compressed if it ends in .gz . Unpack it with gunzip and you can take a look at it.

        Pi5 support is still not finished so some things may not work. Regardless, lr-mupen64plus is an old version which is superceeded by lr-mupen64plus-next so you can use the latter for N64 games.

        EDIT: also the lr-mupen64plus is not available for 64bit OSes - are you using the 64bit RaspiOS to install on Pi5 ? If not, I'd recommend you do so since this is the OS recommended for the Pi5.

            Are you sure ? I don't see how lr-mupen64plus would be installable if you didn't select a 32bit OS. Note that on a Pi5 the kernel is always 64 bit while the userspace can still be 32bit, in which case your OS is recognized as 32bit.

              Hey sorry for the long delay, yes it is 64bit

              I didn’t have time to look at it for a long time and got back to it, a reboot later and reinstall of retropie yealed me no errors and seem like it installed fine

              So no idea why it threw a fit the first time, anyway I love it! Very happy I came across RetroPi!
