[Solved] Error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1

Good day!
I have installed Q4OS Plasma 5.8 r.1 (5.8.1-n1).
Now I try to launch KegaFusion SEGA emulator to play old games.

I have installed it using the following commands:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 pipewire-alsa:i386
sudo apt install /home/denis/Kega/kega-fusion_3.63-2_i386.deb

But, when I try to run it, I have always got an error:
/usr/lib/kega-fusion/Fusion: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But why? I have libgl1:i386 installed properly. See attachments.

Please help. On Linux Mint everything worked well...

Ive never used it but Ive seen that some use the unofficial KegaFusion DEB packages for Ubuntu to run it, which may explain how Mint can run it but not Q4OS.

Thats an old post from 2020 as those issues have been resolved with recent Ubuntu based distros from what Ive read.

There are other emulators like BlastEm, Genesis Plus GX and Ares, and they all also work well with RetroArch.

On BlastEm I was unable to configure my Logitech F310 gamepad, also the game speed was very fast and settings are unclear...so I did not liked it at all.

Anyway, I have installed KegaFusion from Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/com.carpeludum.KegaFusion
Flatpak version works very well! So this problem is solved.

P.s. Look at time on the screenshot!

Glad you got it working and many times Flatpaks can solve issues as they contain everything thats needed and usually are up to date.
