Use stable-retro instead.

it takes time to install compatible verison of these deps.

here it is:
gym==0.25.2
gym-retro==0.8.0
importlib-metadata==7.0.1
numpy==1.24.4
pillow==10.2.0
PyQt5==5.15.10

my python version is Python 3.8.18

[xiaoliang2233]

your python version is 3.11 I saw. it is only support 3.8. see this doc https://github.com/openai/retro

I know it's been a while, but can you tell me if you used venv or some other sort of environment to run this project, and if yes, how did you set it up? I've installed deps you've provided and use python 3.8.9, but retro just refuses to work
