      @OJ1977 said in Error creating SDL window!:

      here is the config.txt information:
      ...

      This is not the config.txt present on the RetroPie Pi4 image.
      As I said before, the config.txt on the RetroPie image already has the lines:

      ... [pi4] # Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d max_framebuffers=2

      Judging from the extra lines added at the end, I assume you're either using a RetroFlag/3rd party modified image or some additional scripts from RetroFlag have been run and have modified the config.txt.

      @mitu that was crazy fast, thank you! Just uncommented it and it actually worked. I thought it was being overriden by the one in [all] but I'm happy to be wrong.
      Again, thank you!

      @x20011I got that message the first time I tried to install desktop, pixel or the raspberry OS or whatever you want to call it, from retropie.
      Fixed by re-burning the retopie image, Installing the Safe Shutdown and OSD Software on the PiBoy DMG.
      After this I installed pixel and it worked.
      But all this in my model 4.

      @ehawkins2232 You don't need to comment out the mhs35overlay line, the config file can have multiple dtoverlay parameters - you just need to un-comment the line with dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d.

      @cbr_greg Please re-install from the Pi4 image provided in retropie.org.uk/download. If you want to use the desktop, then you can install it as indicated in the Docs.
      Before attempting to overclock, just run the games you're interested in and see if you really need to overclock.

      @JAJAmming said in "Error creating SDL Window" Error when starting emulationstation:

      The mod is correct in the emulationstation cannot load if the desktop GUI is running

      Yes, that's explained in the documentation and outlined in countless topics in the forums. Yet here we are, re-discovering the obvious and inventing workarounds for un-supported configurations.
