Scripts and files to set up an ubuntu install for retro gaming. Tested on Ubuntu MATE 18.04, Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon. Will probably work on any ubuntu derivative, but I'm not guaranteeing anything.
Using the scripts in this repo will add a bunch of software (including a PPA) to your system. It will overwrite config files, possibly ones that you have modified. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I love retro gaming but for various reasons prefer having the power of a full Ubuntu install on my retro gaming machines (over, say, Lakka). Ubuntu has great controller support, hardware support, and libretro support. It's simply the path of least resistance.
Clone the repo someplace, then cd into the directory and run sudo ./install.sh. Then go grab a beer/soda, it'll take a while. After that you should see retroarch in your start menu and on your PATH.
