      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.

          Yes it seems correct. I will try to look for more but Is very strange. Everything is there.

            @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:

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

              What means that?

                @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 :(
