      @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:

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

            pigame@odroid:~$
            

            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 :(
