Black emulationstation screen
Hello,
I have an old dig, a Sempron 1GHz with Radeon X1200 GPU, supporting OpenGL 2.1.
The OS is Win7 with all the dependencies installed - I think - and Retrobat 3.1 is running pretty well with bacic arcade and 16bit console emulators.
I was trying Retrobat 4.0.2, but emulationstation is showing a totally black window.
I tried disabling splash videos but nothing changed.
es_log.txt is as following:

Vertex shader failed to compile with the following errors:
ERROR: 0:1: '' : Version number not supported by GL2
ERROR: compilation errors. No code generated.
I can guess that there is some problem with video driver and/or OpenGL version.
I was able to run retrobat 4 on other Win7 machines, despite not supported anymore, and I admit that this dig is very old too.
I am only wondering whether the minimum opengl version required to run emulationstation has changed from v3.1 to 4.0.2... (wasn't it version 2?) because retroarch itself has no problem to start and run properly with gl driver.
And also I would ask if there is some other setting or tip that I could try in order to see something in the emulationstation window.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.

Re: Black emulationstation screen
Hello,
Yes it is certainly because of the Open GL, as specified on the site, it should be at least in open GL 3.3.
Our version of Emulationstation is regularly updated.
