On July 30, 2025, the U.S. Executive Order “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment For All Countries” came into effect. This removes the previous duty exemption for low-value packages and introduces new procedural requirements that are still being defined by U.S. Customs and the United States Postal Service. In response, DHL has announced a temporary halt to standard postal parcel shipments into the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Dismiss

Hi All,
Im using retropie to build a handheld gaming rig. I’m having some trouble getting the Atari Lynx emulator to out video. I’m suing an Adafruit 5 inch TFT which outputs at 800×480.
I get sound, but no video when I load lynx roms. All other emulators don’t give me any problems.
I have the following in my config.txt to force it toutput HDMI at this resoltion:
# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default “safe” mode
#hdmi_safe=1
# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
#disable_overscan=1
# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16
# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display’s size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720
# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (here we are forcing 800×480!)
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=1
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0
# 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
#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800
# for more options see http://elinux.org/RPi_config.txt
Are you using the 3.0 image? There were issues with the lynx emulator that were fixed. Update your setup script and reinstall lr-handy from binaries.
Thanks for the reply. I am using the 3.0 image. Its good to know it wasn’t something I did wrong.
Thanks for the advice. That seems to have fixed all my problems
