Opening RetroArch for the first time leads to a black screen (RPi4, Kodi Leia v18)

Hello, I was following the setup instructions on this repo - on my Raspberry Pi 4 running Kodi v18 (it's actually a dietpi installation, if that matters). I installed IAGL and RetroArch (through gamestarter) and was trying to follow instructions in section Basic External Setup Instructions. I want to copy the bios files to appropriate folder - but when i start RetroArch, I get a notification that Kodi will exit and RetroArch will start - but I just have a black screen. Also, I can hear audibly the remote control inputs, so something is happening, but I cant see anything. I tried this with 1080p/ 4k resolution, reinstalled everything, but nothing worked. I also added the bios files in storage/emulator.

A quick look into the debug log brings this issue up:

What am I doing wrong? Is dietpi missing some libraries that are needed for this to work?

This addon will work just in devices running LibreELEC, dietpi runs raspbian.

I see - thanks!
