Hi all, I recently decided to create a new retropie setup on a larger SD card and have had nothing but trouble with the latest image. Upon boot I am kicked out of retropie intro screen and receive the following error:

Error creating SDL window!
Could not initialise EGL
Renderer failed to initialize!
Window failed to initialise!

Tech Specs:
System — Raspberry PI4 8gig
Power — Official power supply
Keyboard — Official keyboard
PI case — retroflag (PI removed from case to make sure this is not an issue)
Connecting to HDTV via HDMI

SD Preperation:
SD Card — Sandusky Ultra 128gig
SD card access — micro SD to USB adapter sdhc sdxc compatible
Computer System — Windows 7 PC
Repartitioned with Partition Manager
Reformatted with recommended SD card formatter

Imaging:
Retropie version — Img file — retropie-buster-4.8-rpi4_400.img. Latest release from Retropie website — extracted with 7zip to img file.

Once I received the initialize error I plugged the sd card back into my PC and edited the the config document and uncommented the following by removing the preceding hash symbol #:

dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3doverscan_scale=1

With this uncommented I am able to boot up into retropie but still get warnings that I am using the Experimental OpenGL driver.

Strange thing is that if I turn off the experimental opengl driver the dtoverlay text in the config document gets recommented (preceding # symbol comes back) and pi reverts back to the Error Creating SDL window! Problem again.

It’s almost as if the image is designed for desktop environments, rather than the raspberry pi4 — this is pure speculation.

Questions:

How is the dtoverlay text i I commented from the config file linked to the SDL / EGL errors, and why, when uncommented, does this allow retropie to load up?

Have I missed a step to get the pi and running?

By default, should the experimental OpenGL driver be on?

Final notes:

This error occurs on all three micro sd cards I own. One of which worked perfectly well on an older version of retropie…until I Reimaged it with retropie-buster 4.8 (same error).

Thanks I’m advance for any help, and feel free to weigh in on this issue from any angle that might provide resolution.

In my code, I had these things that would check if my code had errors in creating a SDL window, initializing GLEW, whatever. They would go off and my program would still work and in the guide I’m following, no errors went off what so ever. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Also, the glClearColor() doesn’t seem to work. I think its related to the errors above.

My code:

// g++ `pkg-config --cflags glew sdl2` main.cpp `pkg-config --libs glew sdl2`
#include <GL/glew.h>
#include <SDL.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

enum class GameState { PLAY, EXIT };

class MainGame
{

    MainGame();
    ~MainGame();

    void run();

    void initSystems();
    void gameLoop();
    void processInput();
    void drawGame();

    SDL_Window* _window;
    int _screenWidth;
    int _screenHeight;

    int _errorCount;

    GameState _gameState;
};

//Function To Display A Error Message When Something Doesnt Work As Inteded/Properly.
void fatalError(std::string errorMsg)
{
    std::cout << errorMsg << std::endl;
}

//When Called, Inits Most Of The Important Vars, Sets Game State And Does An Error Check
MainGame::MainGame()
{
    _errorCount = 0;
    _window = nullptr;
    _screenWidth = 1024;
    _screenHeight = 768;
    _gameState = GameState::PLAY;

    if (_window == nullptr) {
        fatalError("SDL Window Could Not Be Created.");
        _errorCount += 1;
    }

    SDL_GLContext glContext = SDL_GL_CreateContext(_window);

    if (glContext == nullptr) {
        fatalError("SDL_GL Context Could Not Be Created.");
        _errorCount += 1;
    }

    GLenum error = glewInit();

    if (error != GLEW_OK) {
        fatalError("Could Not Initialize Glew.");
        _errorCount += 1;
    }

    SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_DOUBLEBUFFER, 1);

    glClearColor(0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
}

            break;
        case  SDL_MOUSEMOTION:
            std::cout << evnt.motion.x << ", " << evnt.motion.y << "n";
            break;
        }
    }
}

  1. Ребят, судя по инструкции, то Retropie можно повверх установить? и запускать когда хочешь не удаляя в при этом основную ОС

    https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/

    я правильно понял? и ромы можно так на прямую скачивать без ПК? обязательно нужен геймпад?

  2. Ставить на ос можно, ромы из интернета… не думаю…
    Геймпад можно заменить клавиатурой(но зачем)

  3. После установки и запуска выдает след ошибки

    lvl0: Error creating SDL window!
    Could not get EGL display
    lvl0: Renderer failed to initialize!
    lvl0: Window failed to initialize!

  4. Попробуйте

    sudo rpi-update

  6. Что-то у меня начала ОС тупить с ошибками грузится Exagear какой то , можно как нибудь ОС до начального состояния откатить?

I have manually installed RetroPie, using the terminal and some tutorials..
Finally ready to start everything up… and then get this error:

Error Creating SDL window!
Could not get EGL display
Renderer failed to initialize!
Window failed to initialize!

Then I changed the dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d code. Taking it off (and later also back on again in the config.txt.) Also Tried changing GL drivers.

Now the error is: * failed to add service — already in use?

What to do now?

Set the Pi to boot to command line only.

This can be done by selecting the option from the gui menu somehow (no gui handy at the mo) or via

sudo raspi-config

Select option 3 then B1 then B1 or B2 (I recommend to use a password).

Do not run the desktop.

Start retro-pi from the command line.

By the way, retro-pi have a very good set of support users at their own forum

Failed to create SDL window: Couldn’t find matching GLX

Hello
I am having an issue with this «GLX error.» From what I have gathered, I need to instal or enable some SDL module? I’m not sure exactly, but if that is the case, here is my SDL results of installed packages.

Sorry if this is broken up information, I’m just not really sure where to start. Any info you need, just ask and I will provide it. :)

What you forgot to mention and I had to infer from your dpkg list is that you are running on armhf.

There can a few things at play here:
* you don’t have an opengl stack
* your driver doesn’t expose the necessary GL bits
* if using debian’s builds of armhf, it is compiled against GLESv2 which won’t work

Can you give a bit more context here, including your platform?

Raspberry Pi model 3 B+
Raspbian Jessie, most up to date version.
I know there are problems with OpenMW and Debian/Raspberry Pis, but I have created exceptions in my preferences to allow it to download required packages in the form of a preferences file in /etc/apt/

No, I haven’t actually. I’ll try that as soon as I get the chance and I’ll keep you updated. Thanks :)

Update:
Alright, so I’ve tried enabling the driver via raspi-config, and it initially failed. I checked the terminal output and it appears that the programme had an issue with installing two unauthenticated packages, «compton libconfig9.»
So, I manually installed them, successfully at that. Then I didn’t have an issue enabling the driver (this one: G1 GL (Full KMS) OpenGL desktop driver with full KMS), so I did. Yet, even after that, I got the same error.

Here is the output of glxinfo, if that helps.

Spoiler: Show

glxgears runs fine, doesn’t drop below 60fps if that means anything. I should have checked before I tried enabling the driver :P
But if I recall properly from months ago, it did run. (Don’t quote me on that though.)

Found this with dmesg.

I attempted to look at/modify my Xorg.conf file, but it wasn’t there under /etc/X11/, so I assumed I didn’t have Xorg installed. Installed Xorg successfully and attempted to generate the file, but I haven’t had any success in getting it to appear. Do I need to build any drivers/packages/et cetera? Sorry, I’m just not sure what to do next because everywhere that I am reading says to just enable it via raspi-config. But that didn’t work, unfortunately.

Emulation station

Hey guys,
I just installed retropie over the latest Jessie(pixel)build using this guide
http://blog.petrockblock.com/2012/07/22 … pberry-pi/
And selected basic install……
When I type emulationstation in the terminal as user pi I get the following error

Code: Select all

Binary install?

You could try updating everything to see if that solves the SDL problem (Raspian and Retropie)
You may want to look through the issues on the github where the script comes from.
Check Retropie website and forum for any info.

You will know from the way you set it up, did you follow binary or source ?

You could just scrap it and use a RetroPie image.

I would guess binary…

Try the good old
Sudo apt-get update
Sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Reboot and then into Retropie setup and get it to update all

I probably will probably not fixed or update much but worth a go while someone comes along that may know and you read around the RetroPie forum.

Are you at the desktop/windows ? (this is Pixel)
if so you need to goto shutdown and exit to the terminal/command line (it may well be logout now and then from there exit to the command line, I’ve forgotten).
and run it from there.

You do not start it from a Terminal window.

Voilà solved!!!!
Had to logout first……..
Anyway I was wondering if I could make a script to launch it from the GUI/terminal…….
Thank you again!
