lvl0: Error creating SDL window!, etc... Help!

[kizmiaz]

Please bear with me because I'm new to all of this
I keep getting these error messages when I boot up the pi using the image I flashed onto the previously formatted Micro SD. I have followed the official guide and not made any changes to the scripts or files. I have tried changing the boot up options within rapsi-config to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V:1.2
Power Supply used: Output 5.5V=0.7A (not sure if this is the correct info to put here)
RetroPie Version Used : 4
Built From: retropie-buster-4.6-rpi4.img (from retropie.org)
USB Devices connected: n/a
Controller used: PS3 Compatible wired controller and a keyboard.
Error messages received:
lvl0: Error creating SDL window!
Could not initialize EGL
lvl0: Renderer failed to initialize!
lvl0: Window failed to intialize!

Verbose log (if relevant): not sure.

File: Not sure.
Emulator: Emulationstation

Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode

#hdmi_safe=1

uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible

and your display can output without overscan

#disable_overscan=1

uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console

goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border

#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16

uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus

overscan.

#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

#hdmi_force_hotplug=1

uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1

uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in

DMT (computer monitor) modes

#hdmi_drive=2

uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or

no display

#config_hdmi_boost=4

uncomment for composite PAL

#sdtv_mode=2

#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800

Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces

#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on

Uncomment this to enable infrared communication.

#dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=17
#dtoverlay=gpio-ir-tx,gpio_pin=18

Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README

Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)

dtparam=audio=on

[pi4]

Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack

dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2

[all]
#dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
overscan_scale=1

How to replicate the problem: not sure.

Why are you using the image for a Raspberry Pi 4 model if you have a Pi3B ? Download the correct image for your Pi.
