    Hi,

    after I installed retropie 4.2.20 (6ea7f00) on top of a devuan jessie install (essentially debian without systemd on a 32 bit only Intel Xeon), I can't get MAME2003 to work, because my graphic card (an AMD RV280 based one) does not support shaders (log from a start of a game):

    ...
    [INFO] [GL]: Vendor: Mesa Project, Renderer: Mesa DRI R200 (RV280 5C61) x86/MMX/SSE2 DRI2.
    [INFO] [GL]: Version: 1.3 Mesa 10.3.2.
    [INFO] [GL]: Using resolution 1280x1024
    [INFO] [GL]: Default shader backend found: glsl.
    [INFO] [Shader driver]: Using GLSL shader backend.
    [INFO] [GLSL]: Checking GLSL shader support ...
    [WARN] [GL]: Stock GLSL shaders will be used.
    [INFO] [GLSL]: Found GLSL vertex shader.
    [INFO] [GLSL]: Found GLSL fragment shader.
    [ERROR] Failed to compile fragment shader #0
    [ERROR] Failed to link program #0.
    [ERROR] GLSL stock programs failed to compile.
    [ERROR] [GL]: Failed to initialize shader, falling back to stock.
    [INFO] [Shader driver]: Using GLSL shader backend.
    [INFO] [GLSL]: Checking GLSL shader support ...
    [WARN] [GL]: Stock GLSL shaders will be used.

    [ERROR] Failed to link program #0.
    [ERROR] GLSL stock programs failed to compile.
    [ERROR] [GL]: Shader initialization failed.
    

    After that, it dumps core.

    My humble question is: is there a hidden option to switch off shaders before compiling RetroPie? Or have I just go out and buy another cheap card with MESA shader support? That the emulatorstation screen does not look as good as advertised would not be an issue for me....

    BTW: VICE runs well, thanks to you guys, played 2 hours of "Fort Apocalypse" yesterday ;-)
    TIA,
    Uli

      OK, I've bought a card with shader support. Grmpf... But now no errors anymore ;-)
