You can find melonDS and Citra (only PC 64-bit) in testing PPA now!
If you want to use the cores from Online Updater, go to Settings --> User Interface --> Views --> Show Core Updater = ON. Remember to change your default core directory to something writable (it’s in the root by default, because the packaging), like ~/.config/retroarch/cores/, see Settings --> Directory --> Core
Before changing that, remember that the cores from testing PPA are updated daily

will cores that on the buildbot lE: nekop2, px68k, cap32, crocods appear on the testing/stable ppa soon?
Hi
I’m running into problems installing Retroarch. I’m using Linux Lite OS 3.2 (Ubuntu distro) 32 bits on this machine: Model: Toshiba Satellite L40-15G
Reference: PSL48E-01T00GPT
Technology/Processor: Mobile Technology Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core 2310, (1.46 GHz), 533 Mhz Front Side Bus, 1 MB level 2 cache, Intel® GL960 chipset
Internal Video Mode: 16.7 million colours, resolution 1280x800
Memory: 512+512 MB DDR2 (667Mhz) RAM, expandable to 3072 MB/4096 MB
Graphics: Adapter Intel® GMA X3100 (up to 256MB shared)
I installed the current stable version as directed and everytime I try to run the menu window appears and freezes immediately. When I put fullscreen window it goes all black and can’t close no matter what I do…it just stays open. It doesn’t freezes the OS but only way to close the tab/window is to restart.
I also have MAME, MESS and PCSX installed that appear to work fine with some ROMS. I am new to linux and to emulation world and I would like to use Retroarch for simplicity (combining everything in one place) but I can’t get it to work!
Any help would be appreciated Thank you
Open your config file, it’s located in home/your-user/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg
Change this:
menu_driver = “xmb”
To this:
menu_driver = “rgui”
It may be an issue with your graphic card. If that doesn’t work, change log_verbosity in the config file to true and open retroarch in a terminal, post here the result
@te_lanus, I’ll try add them this week
Hello
I changed the menu driver to “rgui” it goes all black. When using “xmb” the RA menu appears and freezes if I change window to fullscreen it goes all black.

Hope you can help Thanks
Is this it?

Don’t know what to do
There’s no much info that helps in that log… Try another Ubuntu version I guess, like 14.04 or 17.04 (this Lite OS 3.2 is 16.04 based right?). Lubuntu is probably the best bet for your hardware. You can burn it in a USB drive before installing it (using unetbootin), and test retroarch there.
Do you think it’s OS related? I have MAME, MESS and PCSX installed and they work (some roms and .iso don’t but the progam does).
RA I can’t do anything?
I don’t want to change OS just to find out the same problem remains.
I have no idea, like I said, test Lubuntu in a USB stick first.
NP2kai, PX68K and CrocoDS added in the Testing PPA, @te_lanus take a look
Edit: Added xrick, Atari800 and PocketCDG
Still missing cores?
FreeJ2ME added there
I was going to add higan, but it’s failing to build

The only ones I can see is the following
- chailove,
- emux_*(all of them),
- easyrpg,
- redream,
- puae,
- uzem,
- vice_x128,
- vice_xvic,
- vice_xplus4
Compared the latest x68_64 on the buildbot with the one in synaptic package manager, might have missed one or two.
*EDIT: updated and reformatted the report
Please can you put redream on this PPA?
Is there an ETA for adding libretro-p68k to the PPA?
The p68k is on the testing ppa: https://launchpad.net/~libretro/+archive/ubuntu/testing/+sourcepub/8695919/+listing-archive-extra
@sergio-br2 any idea why the ppa stopped compiling? the last update I can see comes was done on the 3rd Jan.
The Launchpad build farm is disabled for maintenance
I any idea of the cores I linked above will be added to the ppa?
