[SOLVED] RetroArch crashes on raspi2 after a successfull update from source

meleu

After a fresh 4.1 install on my raspi2 I updated RetroArch from source. I checked the RetroPie-Setup logs and I'm pretty sure that all the steps expected to be done when choosing "Update from source" finished with no problems. But since then I can't launch any game with RetroArch (runcommand.log).

I updated RetroArch from source on my Linux Mint x86_64 to check if it's an upstream issue, but RetroArch runs just fine after updating from source in this platform.

I went back to my raspi2 and updated RetroArch from binary, and then I can play again. I just can't get the bleeding edge RetroArch on raspi.

Pi Model: 2 B

RetroPie Version Used: 4.1

Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website

Emulator: any libretro core. The problem seems to be on RetroArch.

How to replicate the problem: update RetroArch from source and try to launch any game with RetroArch.

Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log: https://ghostbin.com/paste/sxva9

@meleu Looks like an upstream issue - you should open a ticket.

I just updated from source and it works fine here (rpi3), so it's probably the last RetroArch commit from a few mins ago that has resolved it (or it's something else triggering it on your system due to a different config).

Even if it doesn't happen with RetroPie on Linux Mint x86?

BuZz

@meleu Sure - the crash was related to GL - your desktop uses opengl, the RPI GLES.

meleu

@BuZz OK, I'll try with default retroarch.cfg.

Did you try updating again from source ? There was a commit just mins ago you may not have had when you built it related to GLES.

meleu

@BuZz I'm compiling now...

meleu

@BuZz Yeah! It's working now. I'm not sure but maybe it was solved by this GLES related commit. Thanks!

BuZz

@meleu Yes. That's what I was saying :-)
