I'm trying to run simple64 in Linux Mint but I'm getting error messages that I don't know how to fix. - eviltoast

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?

    I have never used that emulator, but I know that sometimes the installation method of things like emulators can cause issues.
    Have you tried both a direct install, and the Flathub version?

      I would try a direct install but as far as I can tell the only way to install simple64 is through flathub. Trying to install through apt just give an error saying it can’t find the package and the github page just links to flathub.
