Retroarch - JesusLinux - 07-02-2017

Hi guys!

Does anyone uses Retroarch for old school gaming?
I installed it but it freezes on start up and goes black.
When I try to close the the window it just does not close...

Any help?


Re: Retroarch - JesusLinux - 07-03-2017

Anyone please?

I also have MAME, MESS and PCSXr installed, could it be interfering with Retroarch?
I just want a program that does everything instead of having several and RA seems to be it but I just can get to work!

Thanks for any help on this...

I just installed everything you have installed and have added the ppa for retroarch. I do not have your issue but I am not sure on what you did to install retroarch. Here is the ppa that I used: https://launchpad.net/~libretro/+archive/ubuntu/stable

I installed everything has described.
I installed, uninstalled and installed again no luck...

This user on this forum has the same issue:

I did this on a 64bit build of LL3.4. Looking at your hardware it may be because of that. It may need acceleration to work as I did have the nvidia driver loaded and not using the nouveau default. I will test later tomorrow with the nouveau driver to see if it gives me the same error. I'm also using the 4.12 kernel with the 375 drivers.

Wouldn't that show using RA with some cores?
I use MAME (old version) to run arcade ROM's with no worries.
Also have PSCX for PS1 games, although I only manage to put Metal Gear Solid to work (dont' have much time to test things)!

I want RA to work because everyone says it's the best, this way I would only use one thing...
