Retropie 4.4 - Raspberry pi3 b +
I did "Install from binary".
By launching the game, I return this error (runcommand.log):

If you edit the /opt/retropie/configs/ports/crack-attack/emulators.cfg file as follows:

crack-attack = "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/retropie/supplementary/glshim LIBGL_FB=1 xi
nit crack-attack -- vt1 -keeptty"
default = "crack-attack"

the game starts, but once you click on "Start game" the window disappears and it is no longer possible to restore it. However if you launch the game from LXDE it works perfectly.

This makes me think that maybe a window manager is required. I would suggest taking a look at some of the other ports that use one (do a search for "matchbox" to find them) and see if the same technique I used for those works for this.
