Recalbox not working with screen

[Fawful]

Hello
I have an issue were recalbox wont show up on my screen. I've gotten retropie to work, so I don't see why recalbox wouldn't be able too.

any fixes to this issue?

recall box defaults to hhdmi you need to edit the config.

Edit your boot/config.txt
remove any HDMI line

add this at the top of the file

Code: Select all

disable_overscan=0
overscan_scale=1
sdtv_mode=2
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16

With that you should have HDMI if plugged at start, composite if there is no HDMI plugged.

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.
