      I want to add this information I extracted from the commands shown here also:

      I grabbed this from a forum where said it was suggested to grab. That is what I have inside the system. I don’t know what could be triggering that errors.

        @ray3d said in Odroid XU4 SDL Problem Emulationstation:

        In the odroid how do you update to latest retropie without harm the actual content?

        You just update the RetroPie script and/or the Retropie packages, without updating the OS.
        Sorry I can't be of more of assistance, I don't have an XU4 to test.
        The command I mentioned before would reinstall the RetroPie SDL library for your, just in case the system upgrade has overwritten.
        Which version is currently installed ? You can find out using:

        dpkg -l | grep -i libsdl

          I heard that raspberry pi has an experimental driver open gl and altering config.txt fix the issue, In odroid exist something similar?

            @ray3d You seem to have the correct SDL library installed (2.0.8+1mali is installed by the RetroPie script).
            The advice about the OpenGL experimental driver on the PI doesn't apply to Odroid.

                @ray3d Are you running Emulationstation from the terminal or from the desktop environment ?

                Try running it like this from the terminal

                SDL_VIDEO_EGL_DRIVER=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/mali-egl/libGLESv2.so emulationstation --debug
                

                and see if you get a different result.

                  I’m running now all the tests via SSH: I gave your command and these are the results:

                    @ray3d Looks to be working, you're using an older version of Emulationstation and there's something wrong with your installation.

                    Did you install from the RetroPie-Setup script or from a 3rd party image ? Did you update your RetroPie-Setup script - what version are you using ?

                      I had from last year the image and I constructed carefully but I didn’t remember present these problems but now I’m a fool because I didn’t make the backup of some things :( Look this is the file: “retropie_packages.sh” and it says _version="1.65 FINAL". What I did is go to:

                      sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh
                      

                      Then update retro pie script and that’s all because I don’t know how to update more. Well what I did also went to manage then core and update all from source that are the two things I did nothing else. How can I update maybe with commands and not the GUI? But I don’t know how.

                        @ray3d Can you show a screenshot after the start of the setup script - the version should be shown there. The retropie_packages.sh script is not showing the version.

                            @ray3d This is not the RetroPie-Setup script distributed by the RetroPie project - it's probably a 3rd party image (ORA maybe ?). We don't support those images, you should probably ask the creator(s) for support.

                              I installed everything as it says here with the latest version:

                              https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Odroid-XU3-XU4/

                              I deleted from the retropie setup directory:

                              Now I see:

                              https://ibb.co/F4ksdhn

                              But same error emulationstation. or line for same error. When I installed the new retropie it took almost 3 hours it was a lot of time but did nothing. Same SDL error :(
