      @BuZz after all these years i am still a Linux fool ha I'm not sure what you mean by 'You can update retropie-setup and it will install the dependency for you now.'
      I just opened a terminal and typed in what you suggested above , now I've gone back in to Retropie and am installing Retroarch after cleaning it first .
      I hear what you say about the Joggler but I'm just messing really to see what i can get going .
      The main Retropie GUI is surprisingly smooth , nice work on the Ubuntu port :-) this is what you have been up to .

        Great well that successfully installed Retroarch :-) however i may have just discovered the limitations of the Joggler .
        It tries to open then at the top of the screen i have RetroArch then Frames 256 then Terminal .
        Everything seems slow and i cant close anything down :-( ... Ah well

          Ok BuZz i worked out about the set up script , last night i did an update all packages and the screen greeting me this morning was " unable to install Kodi Binary "
          Also there is a log
          Apologies it's a Dropbox link , my laptop is broken and I'm just doing this on my phone and the Joggler .

            @mediamogul i just noticed your answer , sorry , yes i used the update script .
            Thanks for helping out :-)
            The version of Xubuntu 14.04 for the Joggler i am using was made by BuZz especially for the Joggler .
            The device is pretty old now but i would dearly love to get this going if only for older systems , it would be a great cheap Retropie Ubuntu set up for messing about with .

              @hawsey Kodi won't work. Ignore that. I do custom Kodi builds for joggler already. I'm unlikely to have time to look into RetroPie on this platform. There are not many users left either. Get a RPI :-)

                @BuZz ha ha I've got a Pi 3 and Zero W thanks , i didn't want you to waste any time , thanks for the help though , at least it installs and the GUI works ...

                I have been trying to get the Pi Zero installed in Gadget mode on this build on the Joggler also and use Pi on the Zero and the Joggler just as a screen ,
                But got stuck on that too :-(

                    I got no further forward really other than it all installs including Retroarch now , all menus etc seem to work and Roms can be added which show up in their relevant console in the dash , also scraping seems to work .
                    The games just won't boot , I'm trying NES only at present .
                    Would there be any point in trying other systems at this juncture ?
                    Is it likely to be the limitations of the hardware or the missing graphics stuff as previously mentioned ?
                    I realise that Pi 3 is where it is at now so don't want anyone wasting any time on this unless it is feasible.
                    That being said I'm sure a Joggler could be found for any DEVs wanting a bash at it :-)

                    Thanks for the help people

                      @hawsey retroarch is crashing on the joggler. I tried a few driver backend but it may require workarounds in retroarch. It's likely due to joggler gfx driver problems.

                        @BuZz thanks for delving a bit deeper , i appreciate it , would that likely be worth sorting ? And would it be a lot of work ?

                        Looking on YouTube i found an old vid of Streefightet 2 working off MAME which looks great , also Quake3 on another so it looks like stuff should run ok obviously there would be limitations and i realise Retroarch is not MAME .

                          Is this likely to be something someone in the Retroarch forums could help with BuZz or do you not think it would work anyway ?
