Unable to start EmulationStation
-
I am having the same issue as
Re: failed to add service - already in use?I am running Retropie 4.7.1 on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+. It worked perfectly with this setup, but I recently made a custom launcher for the projectM visualizer. I got it to work, but it was very slow, so I tried some tweaks in
raspi-config
that were suggested by ChatGPT. Then, I could no longer start EmulationStation. I've reverted the changes inraspi-config
(resolution back to default), but I still can't start EmulationStation.
The.emulationstation/es_log.txt
log is:Jan 12 00:45:33 lvl2: EmulationStation - v2.10.1rp, built Dec 26 2021 - 16:20:53 Jan 12 00:45:33 lvl2: Parsing XML file "/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/resources/mamenames.xml"...

And then comes the
failed to add service - already in use?

Ok, I needed to revert another change, which was to set GL Driver to "Legacy" withraspi-config
. This gave me the message "GL Driver is disabled", or something like that. No wonder projectM was slow! -
