Prety sure, i made it with the guide photos so it woyld work. Maybe i missed something but i dont think so... Maybe i erased to much in the config? I erase everything that had HDMI in the line... I cant imagine Another thing.... U.u
try to copy past all of this code

Code: Select all

disable_overscan=0

sdtv_mode=2
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16

# Overclock
gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=512

#hdmi_force_hotplug=1
temp_limit=65

kernel=zImage

disable_overscan=0
overscan_scale=1
arm_freq=1000
core_freq=250
sdram_freq=450
force_turbo=0
over_voltage=6
over_voltage_sdram=0
gpu_freq=250
Don't forget to modify "/recalbox/share/system/recalbox.conf to set "global.videomode=default"

if it doesn't work, then check your wires.
Yellow should go to square TV pin on the PI
White, I removed it but be careful, some screens need it to be grounded.

Yes you keep a copy of your current settings and then erase everything from the file and paste the new code.
You access your files by Putty or WinSCP
