          @zod041 Try this https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/RetroPie-Ubuntu-16.04-LTS-x86-Flavor It looks like it should work on Mint too as it is an Ubuntu / Debian fork.

            @AlexMurphy Linux mint 18 is much newer so there may be dependencies not met, etc. I know it for sure works on Ubuntu 16.04

                      @zod041 just launch emulationstation from a terminal or type rpie on the mintMenu.
