Edit: I’m no longer looking for help with this. The issue seems to be with the app itself and I have submitted a bug report for the app on github.

Before you tell me I should try another n64 emulator, I have been using other emulators but I have a game that isn’t working and I’m trying to run it in other emulators.

Anyways, if I try to run simple64 through the terminal, I get the error message:

Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"

I tried to look into this and it seems that I’m supposed to install “xapp” but I’m getting the error message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: xapp : Depends: libxapp1 (= 2.2.8-1) but 2.8.2+virginia is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried to fix it with sudo apt --fix-broken install xapp but it’s just giving me the same error message. Is there anything else I can try before I try another emulator?

    If it’s a Flatpak, then installing anything with APT shouldn’t help you at all - it is possible to build a Flatpak that accesses host libraries, but it would defeat the point of using Flatpak in the first place. So your xapp issues are moot anyway.

    As to the meaning of the output of apt policy: it says that the most up to date libxapp1 is from Linux Mint repos, and that there’s also an older version in Ubuntu repos. That means that Linux Mint doesn’t provide a xapp package at all, and the only one you could install is the old one from Ubuntu (which conflicts with the newer libxapp1 from LM)

      Ok but is there anything I can do to get simple64’s flatpak working or should I just move onto trying another N64 emulator?
