      Hey guys, I own an Odroid-c2 (revision 0.2), so I installed the official ubuntu 16 image from here, then installed Retropie successfully and set everything up (network, roms, etc.) following this official guide.

      First things first; upon reboot, I'm automatically logged in as odroid is tty1, however emulationstation is not automatically launched, and I do not see any Retropie splash nor logo.

      I can manually run emulationstation in that tty, and it runs fine.

      Unfortunately when I try to launch a game (any roms on any emulators) it fails; all I see is a black screen on which is written briefly in the bottom left corner (the addresses change each time I try another rom):

      pgd = ffffffc0594e3000
[00000820] *pgd=00000000533fb003, *pmd=0000000000000000

      ..then it comes back to the emulationstartion screen.
      That's all :(

      I can see that in dmesg that retroarch is bugging :

      "retroarch[4939]: unhandled level 2 translation fault (11) at 0x00000820, esr 0x92000006"

      I also see a retroarch segmentation fault in the log:

      Parameters:
Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-stella/stella_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/atari2600/retroarch.cfg "/home/odroid/RetroPie/roms/atari2600/Asteroids.zip" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg
^[[?25l^[[?1c/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1006:  7475 Segmentation fault      /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-stella/stella_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/atari2600/retroarch.cfg "/home/odroid/RetroPie/roms/atari2600/Asteroids.zip" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg

      And lastly I see that in another log (each and everyone attempts here fails):

      ...perhaps a problem with the sounds?

      I checked that the roms CRC are correct, and for instance could launch 'Super Mario All-Stars' in snes9x, however via emulationstation, I only get that black screen.
      When I try to launch it via the command line, I get this error message: Failed to open /home/odroid/RetroPie/roms/snes/Super Mario All-Stars.srm: No such file or directory.
      This is weird since I've checked and the Super Mario All-Stars.zip file contains only the file Super Mario All-Stars.smc, which according to the web should be sufficient.

      I've searched a lot of websites about this error, triple checked the permissions, but couldn't find anything working; help!!

        Any chance @BuZz that you managed to get you hand on an Odroid-c2 board (as you mentioned in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4379/retropie-4-x-on-odroid-c2/18)?

          I was having a similar issue to yours and wasn't having much luck solving it.

          I started from ubuntu64-16.04.3-minimal-odroid-c2-20171005.img.xz from hardkernel, and upgraded OS packages as well as kernel (ending up with 3.14.79-117).

          In https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/commit/9ab8b4b468320a365010e4e6e3b61da850242aed , I noticed that "gles" wasn't being linked in for the 64-bit build. I decided to add the flag right after mali and compiled the main packages as well as lr-pcsx-rearmed. To my surprise it actually worked without segfault.

          I'm not sure if this is a hack and it enables a worse performing backend or if there's actually a typo in the commit. Somebody who actually knows what they're doing would have to answer that.

          Unfortunately I'm having other issues with my Xbox controller (seems to work in emulationstation but not every button works once in-game), so the C2 isn't fully working for me at this point.

          Good luck.

            Would you mind elaborating on this.. What did you change, and where? A line number, as well as a before & after diff would be great!

              @strex I will add the gles flag in - but I think when I tested on the Odroid C2 I used an armhf userland image not aarch64. I suspect that is the most tested, and will work better for emulation, since only one emulator has aarch64 optimisations, whereas many have arm / neon optimisations which are not available in aarch64 mode.
