Try running touch /storage/.config/retroarch/nokms in a terminal. Perhaps your GPU has issues with KMS mode for some reason.
Thanks escalade, although it was my fault! I thought i had put the latest build on but i had used 14-11/2017 by mistake!:(
I upgraded and now all is working!:)
On to getting the ps2 emu going!!
Display MoreI have not looked if my config contains sound config. If it does, it might be wrong for your hardware.
Verify that first.
Have a look at the first page, to be sure you don't miss anything.
Kodi is using Pulsaudio, both RetroArch and EmulationStation are using Alsa (and so is Chrome and Spotify).
(so if it works in ES it should work also in RA)
Just to be sure:
If you already did your alsa config you can perform a speaker test (it should give noise):
Codespeaker-testIf there is no noise, you need to configure '/storage/.config/asound.conf' using the correct details from the 'aplay -L' output.
Also mention your hardware details. Maybe someone with the same hardware can help.
I did try the speaker-test and all was fine, getting sound. It was working in emulation station too which also uses alsa too so wierd! I have merged your controller changes into my retroarch and now it is working both controller and sound!:)
I only have one issue left now! N64 Roms wont load, same as Chopper above.. select the game - loads to black screen the back to emulation station..
Looking in the log pack attached its the following:
[ERROR] [GL]: Failed to initialize VAOs.
[ERROR] [Video]: Cannot open video driver ... Exiting ...
[ERROR] Fatal error received in: "init_video()"
[ERROR] This core requires a content file.
Any ideas?

Indeed an annoying issue. The first time I tried #2,063 it worked flawlessly. Must be something small I did differently I suspect.
I pasted my working retroarch.cfg config here
And the udev config here
File locations:
~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg
~/.config/retroarch/autoconfig/udev/PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller.cfg
Maybe you should verify that your controllers are the same as mine:
Code# /usr/bin/sdl2-jstest -l Found 2 joystick(s) Joystick Name: 'PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller' Joystick GUID: 050000004c0500006802000000800000 Joystick Number: 0 Number of Axes: 6 Number of Buttons: 17 Number of Hats: 0 Number of Balls: 0 GameController: not a gamepad
Thanks RomMon, i dumped those configs in to replace mine and now my controller works as it should!:)
I also ran sdl2-jstest and mine is identical to yours..
Only thing is now i have no sound in any of the emulators, the retroarch config looks the same for audio as mine did which was working..
The audio device is alsathread.
Audio does work in emulation station and kodi and i have turned off keep alive/play low level audio in kodi.
Any idea on what i should be changing as it must be something in the retroarch conf..
Display MoreAhaaaaaa. I had my two DS3 controllers working in RetroArch using LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20171016 following #2,063. But after an downgrade/restore to LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0-devel-20170621, and upgrade again to Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20171016, I'm not able to get the DS3 controllers working in RetroArch...
Tried following #2,063 again, didn't work.
But even copying the following two files from a backup of the working situation doesn't help:
/storage/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg
/storage/.config/retroarch/autoconfig/udev/PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller.cfg
There is a change in controller behavior, where if I connect the DS3's with the RetroArch menu open it is continue scrolling down, and left/right of the D-pad is working. But the keyboard is not working while a controller is connected, and the other buttons don't work.
Are there other files I need to restore?Edit:
Copied over the two files again, and now it works. It is '/storage/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg' that made it work.
Im having this same issue with a fresh install of LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20171121!!:(
Any tips to fix it, i can get the ps3 controller via usb to part work like RomMon but the guide in #2063 hasnt helped:(
Im not using bluetooth here either..
