I have a RP500 whit twisterOs a OS that is similar to RaspberryOS just much more fun. TwisterOS use xfce4 and are a debian based OS if I dont remember wrong.
I had some problem installing LowResNX on my RP500 becose I think the dependencies libsdl2-dev stuff was made for x86 cpu systems. At least that what chatgpt told me.
Chatgpt helped me install libsdl2-dev stuff for ARM cpu.
I got the LowResNX program to start in my RP500 but the inputs on my keyboard dident work good at all and I never got that line that told me that "gamepad1" worked in a NX program. The Enter "pause" key worked but the left arrow key was spamming all the time and Z and X dident work at all.
I quess I can install Ubuntu on my raspbarry pi but I like TwisterOS and it is almost like the OS that comes whit the raspberry pi. RaspberrianOS also use xfce4 if I remeber right. Maby xfce4 is the problem?
When will LowResNX come for the RP?
I need a easy installation thing please :)

What if you git clone the source from Timo’s LowRes NX repo and use chmod +x to turn it into a binary for your cpu. Does this work :3

You'll probably need to compile the SDL2 libraries yourself

I don't know what that chmod +x stuuf mean I quess some terminal stuff. But issent the end process when getting the LowResNX program to work in linux compiling sorce code to binary code.
I like how it look and the speed that xfce4 give but alot of stuff dosent work under that system. Maby I just install ubuntu whit gnome on my RP500. I wrote my game "mad lottery" on a x86 linux mint cinnemon mashine. LowResNX worked perfect on that pc. I just hate the noisy fan on that machine.

I took a screenshot. I run the text nx program in the picture. The left arrowkey is spamming https://i.postimg.cc/PfzLzKpG/Skarmbild-2026-03-10-23-29-34.png

@Hulkburk yes, chmod +x makes the bash/source and with a MakeFile into an executable binary for your machine. And the fan part was really true, I have a freaking car dash that runs a custom made Linux with xfce and a Windows XP mod

I tried to install Ubunto whit gnome and wayland on my RP500 but that gave the same problem whit LowResNX program as TwisterOS. The Brave Browser was glitching like crasy on Ubuntu but run fine on Twister.
