Hi guys,
I installed retropie on my uConsole following the instructions found here: Debian/Ubuntu - RetroPie Docs
After installation i can launch retropie. I setup the constrols. Now when i try to launch anything like games or choose an option in the menu, retropie crashes. The screen exits retropie and comes back to where i first was in retropie.
Anybody got any experience with this issue?
Not 100% sure but it might be because most 64-bit linux operating systems don’t come with the libraries needed to run 32-bit apps anymore. I found a command for adding all of the ones needed for Box86 which should also cover the ones needed for retropie (this forum is weird with - marks so adjust if necessary)
sudo apt install libegl-mesa0:armhf libgdm1:armhf libgl1-mesa-dri:armhf libglapi-mesa:armhf libgles2-mesa:armhf libglu1-mesa:armhf libglx-mesa0:armhf mesa-va-drivers:armhf mesa-vdpau-drivers:armhf mesa-vulkan-drivers:armhf libsdl1.2debian:armhf libsdl2-2.0-0:armhf libudev1:armhf
Thanks for the fast respons. Sadly didn’t fix the issue. One package couldn’t be installed. The libsdl2-2.0-0:armhf. Screen still exits retropie and comes back to where i was. But i was also thinking it’s related to the 64-bit version. When i read the information on the retropie site it states that a 32-bit version is installed when doing a basic installation.
Solved the issue!
It was user error as mostly happens
I mistakenly used the ‘run’ window to start emulationstation. This should only be done via terminal itself.
Oh my God thank you so much I’m running at not in the desktop mode is what fixed it for me but now I have this issue and I have changed all the config files I’ve tried everything listed online and I cannot get the screen to rotate any ideas?
emulationstation --screenrotate 1 --screensize 1280 720 #auto use this to start emulationstation rotated
Hey I really cannot stress how much I appreciate all your help I think I just solved a huge part of my problem you’ll notice the two file names with the same name where the wrong images I thought I was supposed to use third time’s the charm right:-) and the other guy in the thread for this pointed it out because of my screen size on my work computer every time it came up it was just too huge icons and they were just the first two Bookworm images I never saw the third image option until I loaded the page differently
