      Hi,

      I'm pretty new in the emulation word and even more in the raspberry one
      here my setutup
      Raspberry 4 B 4Go
      viewsonic vx3276 1990 X 1080
      power supply : already tried many
      Build From : I ve tried with noobs, raspberry imager,

      when it boot I pass the first rainbow, then raspberry it got an error message saying
      lvl10: error creating dsl windows
      could not initialize Egl
      lvl10: renderer failed to initialize
      lv10 windows failed to initialise

      To be honest since I got this raspberry 4 its a lot of trouble for everything with this hdmi resolution problem

      I only succeed to install raspian and it was a lot of fight to make it work

      I ve tried to edit the config.txt with my setup of the rasbian which is working but nothing is happening
      I ve tried do disable gl driver

      Does somebody as an idea to how fix it ?

      Thank you

        what is this?

        assuming you mean rpi4, just use the rpi4 image provided: https://retropie.org.uk/download/

              Post your config.txt to see what is set there.

              viewsonic vx3276 1990 X 1080

              I suppose this is actually 1920x1080.

                Yes it is 1920x1080 it was already a pain installing rasbian I had to install a lite version go to raspotify config change the resolution and install a desktop environnement

                I have the same problem when I try to install Lakka, rétropie impossible to force the resolution to 1920x1080

                I don’t know if it’s me but I didn’t have so much problems with raspberry 3

                  You're mentioning a resolution setting, but your error in the first post is from EmulationStation. Post your config.txt and the output from tvservice -m DMT.

                  Disabling the OpenGL driver is not supported and RetroPie (and the majority of the emulators) will not work without it.
