SDL Initializing errors on RPi3

BuZz

You are saying a fresh Raspbian image downloaded and with retropie-setup installed ES is not working still ? If so I will need to test that.

BuZz

Was that a Raspbian Lite image or ?

raspbian jessie full, apt upgrade, retropie-setup, that's it.

Please can you be more specific as I am unable to reproduce it this end. Please compare what you did with this:

I downloaded Full Raspbian from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

Wrote it to a Micro SD, and booted it on the Raspberry Pi 3.

I then ssh'd in from another machine and did

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
cd 
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git
cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

Once the menu had come up, I went to Packages, and chose "Quick Install".

Then once that was complete, I went back to the main menu, and went to "Setup /Tools" and "Autostart", choosing the first option "Start Emulation Station at boot".

I then rebooted and it booted into Emulation Station.

I can only think you have changed something your end you have not mentioned. eg switched on the experimental Desktop GL driver (Which isn't compatible with RetroPie)

Oh oh :x

Sweet Jesus ... i am a big fool and have made you waste your time...
I often install/reinstall rpi's therefore my config.txt is backed up and used everytime ^^ you can guess what's following : experimental drv IS set because (before retropie) it didn't cause any harm.

... ahem. truly sorry having been this dumb !
ES launch as it should be. Thanks for your time !!

BuZz

ARGH!

well at least we got there in the end. This is why we go on again and again regarding people providing as much detail as possible. Glad you have it working.

BuZz

I have added a warning dialog to retropie_setup that appears if the experimental GL driver is enabled.

OkTekk

Awesome, your reactiveness is truly excellent. Again, many thanks !!
ah.. last question, unrelated: do you plan to add dolphin or any fork ?

BuZz

We may consider adding it for use on PC, but I assume it is pretty unusable on a Raspberry Pi.

OkTekk

Too bad but still, your work is incredible, thanks for it.
Good night !

I have the same errors but I have Odroid XU4. What exactly you did to fix? Or what to edit?
