    from /tmp/runcommand.sh

    force the resolution to be lower on hdmi and you’ll see performance is the same:

    I think there are a couple things you can try.
    You will need to edit your /boot/config.txt file
    The default settings are as follows.

    # uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
    #hdmi_force_hotplug=1
    
    # uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
    #hdmi_group=1
    #hdmi_mode=1
    

    It sounds like you may need to uncomment force_hotplug. If you dont know how to use vi or edit files in linux just run this.
    sudo perl -p -i -e 's/#hdmi_force_hotplug=1/hdmi_force_hotplug=1/g' /boot/config.txt
    That just turns this.
    #hdmi_force_hotplug=1
    into this
    hdmi_force_hotplug=1
    so the pie will read it after bootup.
    Reboot and see if this works.
    If not reverse it running the following command.
    sudo perl -p -i -e 's/hdmi_force_hotplug=1/#hdmi_force_hotplug=1/g' /boot/config.txt

    Next you can try forcing the pie into 1080p mode. With the following commands. Again they are just uncommenting the variables so your machine will read them on the next boot.
    Not sure where you are from so here are the NA and EU setups.

    for NTSC (North American TVs 60Hz)
    1080p

    sudo perl -p -i -e 's/#hdmi_group=1/hdmi_group=1/g' /boot/config.txt
    sudo perl -p -i -e 's/#hdmi_mode=1/hdmi_mode=16/g' /boot/config.txt

    to switch back tp default from NTSC settings.

    sudo perl -p -i -e 's/hdmi_group=1/#hdmi_group=1/g' /boot/config.txt
    sudo perl -p -i -e 's/hdmi_mode=16/#hdmi_mode=1/g' /boot/config.txt

    for PAL (European TVs 50Hz)

    sudo perl -p -i -e 's/#hdmi_group=1/hdmi_group=1/g' /boot/config.txt
    sudo perl -p -i -e 's/#hdmi_mode=1/hdmi_mode=31/g' /boot/config.txt

    To go back to default from pal settings

    sudo perl -p -i -e 's/hdmi_group=1/#hdmi_group=1/g' /boot/config.txt
    sudo perl -p -i -e 's/hdmi_mode=31/#hdmi_mode=1/g' /boot/config.txt

    You can see the values here.
    https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md

    Hope this helps you!

    hello,

    I could manage to have sound for the n64 emu via the regular audio out
    but I was wondering how to set it up for an usb sound card ?

    I tried many alsa setups to force audio through device 1 instead of zero, so retropie outputs audio through the usb card
    but the n64 emulator still does not want to

    so I tried modifying the config file
    but there only seem to have options for audio jack or hdmi

    can someoone help ?

    thanks

    Copied all my games into the relevant folders on my Pi 3 and have discovered I have no sound.

    Have checked all the options (force sound via HDMI), checked the PSM sound and it is on full, checked that the TV sound is on (you have to check these things!) but still no sound.

    Have run all the updates but still no joy.

    Anyone else experienced this?

    @herbfargus thank you kindly!
    So i re-installed Jessie.
    Then i installed the LCD driver.
    Next i installed RetroPie.
    RetroPie shows on HDMI.
    Switch to LCD terminal.

    sudo raspi-config
    expand filesystem
    
    disable overscan
    
    force audio to 3.5mm 
    
    advanced options >> enable Device Tree
    
    advanced options >> enable SPI >> load SPI kernel module by default
    
    sudo reboot

    Next
    FBCP

    sudo apt-get install cmake
    git clone https://github.com/tasanakorn/rpi-fbcp
    cd rpi-fbcp/
    mkdir build
    cd build/
    cmake ..
    make
    sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin
    sudo install fbcp /usr/local/bin/fbcp

    Next
    /etc/profile.d/10-emulationstation.sh

    on its own on the second line before emulationstation is called.

    /usr/local/bin/fbcp &

    /boot/config.txt

    
    sudo nano /boot/config.txt
    hdmi_force_hotplug=1
    hdmi_cvt=320 240 60 1 0 0 0 
    hdmi_group=2
    hdmi_mode=87

    and finally
    sudo nano /home/pi/emulationstation.sh

    #!/bin/bash
    /usr/bin/local/fbcp &
    emulationstation
    sudo chmod +x emulationstation.sh

    Not sure if the last one did anything, but after reboot RetroPie loaded on the LCD :)

    Making up a small machine cabinet and was testing with a TV HDMI and all is well.

    The build uses a monitor with no sound so I have forced audio out via the 3.5 in doing so I get a hiss sound on some screen but not all. Its mainly when you should have no sound like on a menu etc.

    How to fix, anyone else found this?

    I usually use my pi on 1 tv but I took it to my buddies and it did not detect video. I brought it home and it worked fine. I tried it on y downstairs tv and it does not detect video. So I went into /boot/config.txt and added:

    config_hdmi_boost=4
    hdmi_force_hotplug=1
    hdmi_drive=2

    Still nothing on basement TV. Works fine upstairs.

    Changed it to:
    config_hdmi_boost=7

    Still nothing. I tried a different card and same issue so I am looking for any advice. Thanks for the help.

    Alrighty, I gave up on 720×240 and went with the following in my /boot/config.txt:

    # uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
    hdmi_force_hotplug=1

    # uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
    hdmi_group=2
    hdmi_mode=87
    hdmi_cvt=320 240 60 1 0 0 0

    This provides 320×240 at 15 KHz.

    [quote=115221]Hey @jwh02017

    I edited the config.txt file which you can find in the /boot folder, or if you put the SDCard back into your Windows PC you’ll find the file there.

    The only lines I added were:
    hdmi_group=2
    hdmi_mode=81
    hdmi_drive=2
    hdmi_force_hotplug=1

    The hdmi_drive=2 forces the output to be hdmi so the Pi won’t switch to composite when the TV is still waking up.

    The hdmi_mode=81 specifies the screen resolution of my TV. You need to specify this because the auto detect doesn’t seem to work when using the hdmi_drive=2 line.
    To find the correct code to use for this, use the following link and look for your TV’s native resolution under the “hdmi_mode” DMT section: (You’ll need to look up in your Vizio’s specs what the native resolution is)

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks for the info. I currently painting my cabinet so it will be a few days before I can test this.

    Hi, i need to force the AV output instead of HDMI to connect my pi to a regular CRT TV, i have the cable already but it seems that pressing SHIFT or 1, 2, 3, 4 keys on booting is not helping.

    Any ideas?

    Hi all,

    Just wanted to share my latest project based on the awesomeness that is Retropie.
    I built this for my kids (myself mostly, don’t tell my wife) for Christmas this year. I was somehow able to do this in about 4 weeks total thanks to the plethora of info available on this forum and the rest of the internet.

    This was built from one 4′ x 8′ sheet of 1/2″ birch plywood. 1″ x 2″ braces are glued and screwed from the inside on all joints. You can see in one pic where I placed all the pieces using scotch tape temporarily. I then drew lines on the inside where the 1×2 braces were placed.

    This is running a Raspberry Pi 2 with Retropie 3.3.

    The screen is a 19″ TV which I mounted in such a way to use the built in speakers on the bottom and project them forward to the holes you see and small wood box under each speaker. HDMI is used for both video and audio from the Pi. The screen is connected to the frame using it’s own mounting holes where the stand used to be. I drilled holes in a couple aluminum bars and screwed it down to the wood, and used the TV’s own screws that used to hold the stand. Then one more piece of 1×2 wood on top of the tv to hold it in place. I ended up having to force the Pi into HDMI mode and specify the resolution in the config.txt file to keep the TV from switching inputs when powered on. There was a timing issue where the TV took too long to power up and the Pi didn’t detect anything in the HDMI port and then didn’t output HDMI. (unless rebooted while the TV was already on) Also the TV would switch to another input when it didn’t detect an HDMI signal. So forcing the output settings with config.txt fixed all this. I also had to hard set the audio to HDMI instead of Auto in the Raspi-config script.

    The buttons and 8 way joysticks are wired to an iPac2 controller and connected to the Pi via USB. The iPac is running in keyboard mode.

    I’ve customized certain things such as volume control using the option button + player 2 joystick up and down. Save and Load state buttons, Pause, etc.
    The “shift” button you see in the pics (player 2 select button) is the iPac shift key. This allows me to navigate config menus that require tab, enter, F4, etc. (These aren’t labeled; they are just for me)
    The “Option” button in the middle, is the RetroArch hotkey button. It’s the escape key for all non-RetroArch emulators such as MAME. So players can hold “Option” while pressing pause, exit, save, load, and adjusting volume. Save slots are adjusted with option + left and right on player 1 joystick.

    For power, I used a standard IEC power connector with switch built in. This way I can use any standard PC power cable, and get one as long as needed wherever this thing is moved to. The back is removable using a mailbox key. The back of the IEC power connector goes into an electrical outlet box on the inside of the cabinet and is wired to a standard outlet. Then a power strip is connected where the Pi, TV, and LED light power supply all plug in. The buttons and marquee are all lit with LEDs.

    The marquee graphic isn’t tall enough, my own dumb fault, so I will replace that sometime soon. You can see the white bars above and below it for now. People tell me it looks good that way, but it bothers me, lol.

    Finally, I’m still waiting on two small 2 inch speakers grill covers for the front.

    All in all, I’m happy with this and it was a really fun project. I’m still tweaking things on the software side. I think the software stuff took twice as long as making the cabinet.

    Just booted RP3.3.1RPI2 – from a class10 8Gb SanDisk

    4 usb sockets – 1 x keyboard, 1 x 16Gb stick, 1 x 80211.n dongle, 1 x Bluetooth (PS3 controller) – mouse must replace wifi – use RJ45 WLAN

    auto detecting on boot – usb media and auto-mounting media/usb –
    and running the roms from usb.
    ( sorry if this is done already – I’m looking how to do it, reason for visit )

    a menu item that shows your controller in-test – like windows used to do.

    force_hdmi=1
    LCD ( with touch screen ) to use as either a keyboard/controller, or ‘tweak console menu’ in-game.
    LCD ( w/o touch support ) – map – statistics
    no LCD – run as-is.

    Sorry if I’ve re-suggested ideas that have been covered before, or are in development, but from first run you have to find the answers you seek.

    Thank you all that contribute to this. It’s great ! And all the best for 2016 !!!

    Hi all

    Having problems with video output from my Raspberry Pi Zero to my Pioneer AV receiver (model: VSX-819H). I am running the Retropie 3.3.1 SD-card image for Raspberry Pi 1 and Pi Zero.

    Video works fine connected direct to my Dell tv (model: W3202MC) via a mini to full size HDMI cable. Everything boots properly and emulators display and run perfectly.

    I have tried amending the config file using:
    hdmi_safe=1
    config_hdmi_boost=4
    hdmi_force_hotplug=1
    hdmi_group=2
    hdmi_mode=4

    I have tried each individually and various combinations of the above with no joy.

    I have also tried using different power adapters ranging from 1amp to 2.4amp.

    Anyone got any ideas? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Hi all.

    Sorry for the absence of late – been busy with it being Christmas and all but also have been plagued with issues on my new laptop trying to get Linux to work on it. I’m still not quite there yet (it always shows NOOBS partitioned SD cards as corrupted when they are not), so this has completely hindered me building the other multiboot images… grr… I’m at the point where I am now trying to source an old laptop to use instead, which is ridiculous but there you go!

    In the meantime I have been documenting some of the processes I carry out for those who wish to tinker. The whole ‘creating dual boot images’ guide will take a while to document, however I am nearly finished with the ‘how to implement custom scripts’ in KODI / OSMc / RasPlex etc. which is useful if anyone has removed my script in error or wants to try out a new skin. I’ll post it on here soon as its ready and hopefully it will be of some use to someone.

    So to answer some questions:


    @reddyfire
    – I don’t own a Pi 1 any more so I can’t create a Pi1 image Im afraid, therefore this will only work on a Pi2. When Pi zeros are available to buy again then I will probably get one of those and build an image for it which I assume will be perfectly compatible with this Pi1(??).

    @havnar – I don’t have any guides made up yet but its on my todo list! I’m really not sure why it isn’t working for you though? you have definitely formatted the card to FAT32 and copied everything inside the ‘noobs files’ folder onto the SD card? Can you try the USB method if you haven’t already, i.e. copy the ‘os’ folder to a (FAT32 formatted) USB stick instead of to the sd card? The only other thing I could suggest is that the SD card may be faulty – I have an SD card that won’t work with NOOBS either – it hangs part way through the installation, whereas all my other SD cards work fine (tried from as low as 8GB up to 64GB and between). For reference, I only ever use branded cards such as Sandisk, Samsung or Kingston (although I find Kingston cards to be VERY slow), and they always work for me.


    @mheiger
    – are you still having the issue of booting into RetroPie? If so then it sounds like your monitor doesn’t like the display setting I have set (720p). When you boot into the RetroPie partition are you able to SSH into the Pi, even though nothing is showing on screen? If so then this is most likely to be the problem and you need to set a different display resolution (or just comment out my settings to start with, which should set a resolution your display is happy with). You need to change or comment out the lines ‘hdmi_group’ and ‘hdmi_mode’ in the config.txt file found in the boot partition. Check this link out for further information: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md


    @methanoid
    – yes this is the case Im afraid. Plex is not very customisable and even with the Aeon skin it is limited to Python script instead of regular old Bash scripts, hence the scripts I made were pretty basic but functional, since I don’t know how to script in Python! There may well be other scripts that customisation, but since I don’t personally use Plex then I opted for Aeon which I knew would support it. The standard skin however does not support customisation at all. If you know of any others that do then please let me know and I can investigate. As for controlling via joypad – I am not sure if this is possible in Plex? And regarding Moonlight – would you need a seperate partition for this or is it part of the RetroPie setup script? I can’t check right now but will later (unless someone confirms for me).


    @knulen
    – it can be a pain to add drivers for wifi dongles that aren’t supported as standard, Ive had to do it myself in Raspbian but the steps were alot different to those you have linked? I am wondering if those steps are for Ubuntu with KODI instead of just OpenELEC? I will add that the latest version of OpenELEC has more support for WiFi dongles as I noticed that 2 different dongles I had that didn’t work in Helix now work in Isengard out of the box. I know you said it doesn’t work but just to check, did you go into the ‘Network’ menu in OpenELEC Configuration and tick ‘Wireless Networks’ (or something to that effect), because if you didn’t then you havent enabled the wifi dongle yet so nothing will show in ‘Connections’ tab. Just a thought anyway.


    @candyluv
    – I have added an ‘always boot to kodi’ option in RetroPie as of v8 however I have not created a new triple boot build yet that implements this. It would be easy to do however would mean that a different shutdown button would be used (to add in a line of script that sets the boot partition back to KODI again). As for the NTSC CRT TV setting – I imaging you will have to amend the ‘hdmi_group’ and ‘hdmi_mode’ that I have set in config.tct for that to work? I have set it to run @ 720p for RetroPie but did not set specific values for the other partitions so that would explain why the RetroPie partition is being fussy! See the link I posted above to change it to a different mode and resolution.


    @confy
    – I am working on a guide which details how to implement a custom command but to get you back up and running, all you need to do is the following (this is from memory so may be slightly misworded):

    Go to System>Settings>Appearence>Skin>Settings>Set Up The Aeon Nox Home Screen
    Now on the left side menu, scroll down to any un-used slot, such as ‘Custom1’
    In the right side menu, click ‘Choose Action>Custom KODI Command’ and a text box should appear (if any text is present in it then delete it)
    Type in the following exactly: System.Exec(/storage/ss/select.sh)
    Press ‘done’ and this has now setup my script that displays a message stating ‘Select Launch RetroPie to Start Gaming’, so now you need to setup the ‘Launch RetroPie’ button.
    Click ‘Select Submenu’ and then choose ‘Custom KODI Command’
    Type in the following exactly: System.Exec(/storage/ss/games.sh)
    Press ‘done’ then set a label of ‘Launch RetroPie’ and clcik done then click back.
    Now create a name of ‘Games’ for this menu you have created and set a background picture if you like (my picture should still be there in /storage/wallpapers
    Go back to the main KODI menu and your ‘Games’ menu should now be showing.

    This is all from memory so I will check later on to make sure it is correct but thats the principle of it at least. My actual scripts should still be there as they weren’t stored in the /storage/.kodi dirctory, so your backup shouldnt have wiped them off.


    @jcrowley30
    – sounds like your memory card is being formatted to exFAT instead of FAT32 (SD Formatter does this for 64GB cards it would seem). Instead you need to search for a program that will force FAT32 format instead – try searching on Google as I know there are a few different onesout there for free that work (Ive used one before but can’t remember what it was called, sorry. I use Gparted in Linux now instead for all my formatting needs!). You should find it will work perfect once you have formatted as FAT32, and I guess I need to update my readme file explaining the 64GB format issue. :s


    @Piface3000
    – My theme is specifically designed to remove all the metadata and increase the picture size. Whilst it is not impossible to revert back to standard, it would be rather time-consuming, so you may be better off switching to a different theme to be honest. Otherwise, you need to go into each theme.xml and edit each line that I have amended, which is quite a task!


    @tracer
    – The Confluence skin *does not* support custom script linking, so you will not find my ‘Games’ menu in there. It is not impossible to use Confluence and still have my script, however you need to use a 3rd party addon called Custom Launcher (or something like that), and set it up via there. Its not as fancy as the way I implement it in Aeon Nox though. As for the controller / CEC issues – this is out of my remit Im afraid. I use a mini wireless keyboard/mouse combo for KODI and also set it up for use in RetroPie menu, so I don’t have this problem. I have seen alot of people ask about OpenELEC gamepad usage but never seen anyone give a firm answer if it is possible. I personally wouldn’t use it as it would be a bit clunky I think (having to remember which button does what), but if you are really wanting it then I would suggest scouring the KODI forums as that would be your best bet for answers I would say?


    @grizzlema
    – thanks for the heads up! I will bare this in mind when making the next Plex build. Is there a partition size you would recommend?

    Phew – this turned into a long post so apologies there but hopefully I have answered all questions! :D I will try and be a bit more attentive to this thread from now (part of my New Year resolution maybe?), so any questions or suggestions just ask. In the meantime I will try and get a working Linux computer so I can work on the other builds. I should never have got rid of my old laptop, it was the perfect Linux machine… :(

    All the best!

    No biggie, but the config.txt file seems to be missing from 3.3. I’m using 3.3 – Pi 2 – standard image. I need the file to force HDMI sound. Easily recreated.

    Hi,
    Smither or anyone who used his triple build, Do any one know how to change the settings to always reboot to Kodi instead of rebooting to the last OS used??
    Also how to get the Retropie section to work with a NTSC CRT TV/monitor using RCA, all I get is sound and no video. The kodi and Raspbian works by just putting # in front of hdmi_force_hotplug=1 but not retropie. I would like to get that working and still be able to do HDMI without having to keep changing config file if possible.
    Thanks in advance, any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

    Wish I had found that forum post 3 hours ago :P but thats basically what I came up with as well in the end. a few things I did differently though. I’ll lay out my steps as my hardware is slightly different too (its basically exactly the same process though)

    My hardware is Odroid-W

    http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=g140610189490

    With the docking board with a 2.2″ screen

    http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G140618854370

    Steps:

    Install RetroPie (in my case 3.2.1 for the rpi 1)

    Raspi-Config

    sudo raspi-config

    expand filesystem
    
    disable overscan
    
    force audio to 3.5mm 
    
    advanced options >> enable Device Tree
    
    advanced options >> enable SPI >> load SPI kernel module by default
    
    sudo reboot

    (I may have also needed this but I cant remember)

    Console at boot: Add kernel argument to the end file /boot/cmdline.txt – make sure it is all on the same line or it will break the boot sequence and require a reimage)

    fbcon=map:10

    Adafruit Helpers

    cd
    curl -SLs https://apt.adafruit.com/add-pin | sudo bash
    sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-bootloader
    y
    sudo apt-get -y install adafruit-pitft-helper
    sudo adafruit-pitft-helper -t 22
    console on display? no
    gpio 23 as on off button? 

    FBCP

    sudo apt-get install cmake
    git clone https://github.com/tasanakorn/rpi-fbcp
    cd rpi-fbcp/
    mkdir build
    cd build/
    cmake ..
    make
    sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin
    sudo install fbcp /usr/local/bin/fbcp

    Instead of using the asplashscreen fix I added the boot function for fbcp to

    /etc/profile.d/10-emulationstation.sh

    on its own on the second line before emulationstation is called.

    /usr/local/bin/fbcp &


    /boot/config.txt

    
    sudo nano /boot/config.txt
    hdmi_force_hotplug=1
    hdmi_cvt=320 240 60 1 0 0 0 
    hdmi_group=2
    hdmi_mode=87
    dtoverlay=pitft22,rotate=90,speed=80000000,fps=60

    I also ignored the runcommand fix as it worked better without it.

    I found that putty doesn’t work when fbcp is running so I just exit to the terminal and type killall fbcp

    and then to restart emulationstation I created a bash script to call fbcp before emulationstation

    sudo nano /home/pi/emulationstation.sh

    #!/bin/bash
    /usr/bin/local/fbcp &
    emulationstation

    sudo chmod +x emulationstation.sh

    then to run it just type ./emulationstation

    It’s still a bit rudimentary and definitely has room for improvement (I’m also trying to figure out a way to get rid of the annoying blinking cursor from the terminal as it keeps showing up on top of my games) but it is working, so I am happy.

    I would still be interested in checking out your image though to compare and see what methods work best for optimisation.

    Hello

    I m very new in retropie workflow, i ve downloaded the last img for raspberry and try to start EmulationStation.

    Yesterday i had an error about Alsa and the splashscreen EmulationStation flashing.
    So after a little of google i ve found a solution to configure the /boot/config.txt in the idea than the Alsa error message crashed the emulatorstation.

    Now i do not have errors messages but always the splashscreen flashing and blocked on it.
    The log do not seems to show any problems so i m confuse about how to resolve this bug.
    the rapsberry is RASPBERRY PI 2 MODEL B

    Any help would be appreciate ;)
    This the es_log.txt and boot/config.txt files.

    this the log:

    Hello everyone , I’m new but I found a problem with a HDMI to VGA converter for raspberry pi b + , I do not get it working , I tried to enter the following command in the config.txt file, but without success :

    hdmi_force_hotplug = 1
    hdmi_group=2
    hdmi_mode=16
    hdmi_drive=2

    someone can help me, thank you very much

    Go to /boot/config.txt and make sure hdmi_drive=2 is uncommented. It will force hdmi audio on all tvs.

    I did see your n64 and I really like how you used the hdmi adapter. I was lucky in how it all worked out in the end but I wanted to make the game holder still functional looking (and be able to use the spring up action/remove game) so I was limited to the Pi positions. I almost 180 it but I really did not want to ruin the original look so I was forced with how I placed it. With that position I had to buy and return parts several times and got lucky. If you have a chance look at Datapro.net. I purchased my usb power pin thru (see pic) and they have a lot of great adapters for custom builds.

    Hi,

    I bought a VGA converter cause my Acer X193HQ has only a VGA entry.

    So, to configure my retropie, i wrote this in /boot/config.txt :

    # uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
    
    hdmi_safe=1
    
    #disable_commandline_tags=1
    
    #uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
    #and your display can output without overscan
    #disable_overscan=1
    
    #hdmi_ignore_edid_=0xa5000080
    
    #uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
    #goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
    #overscan_left=30
    #overscan_right=15
    #overscan_top=20
    #overscan_bottom=10
    
    #uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
    #overscan.
    #framebuffer_width=1366
    #framebuffer_height=768
    
    #uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
    hdmi_force_hotplug=1
    
    #uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
    hdmi_group=2
    hdmi_mode=81
    
    #uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
    #DMT (computer monitor) modes
    hdmi_drive=2
    
    #uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
    #no display
    #config_hdmi_boost=4
    
    #uncomment for composite PAL
    #sdtv_mode=2
    #sdtv_aspect=1
    
    #for more options see http://elinux.org/RPi_config.txt
    gpu_mem_256=128
    gpu_mem_512=256
    gpu_mem_1024=256
    
    overscan_scale=1
    arm_freq=950
    core_freq=250
    sdram_freq=450
    over_voltage=6

    but, when i reboot, i still have this value:

    pi@retropie ~ $ tvservice -s
    state 0x12000a [HDMI DMT (4) RGB full 4:3], 640x480 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

    and my display is totally awful, flat, and pixelised ! :-1:

    even i choose hdmi group 2 ande mode 81 !

    with tvservice -m DMT, i found this values for my screen :

    Group DMT has 11 modes:
      (prefer) mode 4: 640x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:25MHz progressive
               mode 5: 640x480 @ 72Hz 4:3, clock:31MHz progressive
               mode 6: 640x480 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:31MHz progressive
               mode 8: 800x600 @ 56Hz 4:3, clock:36MHz progressive
               mode 9: 800x600 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:40MHz progressive
               mode 10: 800x600 @ 72Hz 4:3, clock:50MHz progressive
               mode 11: 800x600 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:49MHz progressive
               mode 16: 1024x768 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:65MHz progressive
               mode 17: 1024x768 @ 70Hz 4:3, clock:75MHz progressive
               mode 18: 1024x768 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:78MHz progressive
               mode 81: 1366x768 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:85MHz progressive

    With the tvservice command, i can change the resolution, but, after reboot, this settings disapear !

    Someone has the same issue ?

    Ah, ok.
    Thanks for the help, I figured out my issue.
    Apparently RetroPie wasn’t recognizing my monitor, so I had to uncomment hdmi_force_hotplug=1 in the config.txt file. Everything boots great now, and I have no issues with the display.
    RetroPie FTW!

    Did you google it ? (or other search engine of chocie)

    First hit on google is

    http://elinux.org/RPiconfig

    if you search the page for that line it says

    
    hdmi_force_hotplug Pretends HDMI hotplug signal is asserted so it appears a HDMI display is attached
    
     hdmi_force_hotplug=1 Use HDMI mode even if no HDMI monitor is detected

    I know you said its working when you use Raspbian, but try uncommenting this in config.txt

    Hi Guys,

    I’m facing a rather odd issue with the emulators snes8x-next and fceumm (NES). A few pixel rows on top are missing in both emulators. If i switch to other emulators like pocketsnes the screen size is just right. I also messed around with all the screen options in the menu before the actual emulator starts.

    At the beginning, the ES screen was too big as well, so I adjusted the config.txt. That fixed the ES screen size and also lead to an improvement at the above-mentioned emulators. Instead of about 40 lines missing on top, it was down to 20 I would say. But regardless how much I increase/change the overscan values from that point (24), it only enlarges the black frames on the sides.

    First I thought it’s related to the swampy’s issue
    https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/484

    I tested this fix and it indeed shrank the ES screen. But actually it had the same effect like increasing the overscan values to about 35 or so and didn’t fix the emulator issue.

    I spent the past three days on this and finally got it working…

    Quit emulation station
    type in sudo nano /boot/config.txt

    When that page loads, arrow all the way down to the bottom and type in the following:

    hdmi_drive=2
    hdmi_force_hotplug=1
    hdmi_force_edid_audio=1
    hdmi_group=1
    hdmi_mode=4

    Give this a try, hope it works!

    I have a samsung HDTV installed lengthwise in an arcade cabinet and I can’t seem to get emulation station output the 4:3 aspect ratio I set in the config.txt file. The emulators work properly when I start a game per the settings.
