    So I flashed the Recalbox 7 image with Etcher to 2 different SD-Cards (Kingston and Intenso 32 GB HC Class 10). With both cards, I only get a grey screen after the Raspberry Pi bootup Screen. I waited about an hour for something to happen. The Pi is blinking green for a few minutes and then stops.

    Any solution to this?

      @guanzo please try this:

      1. Edit config.txtfile
      2. Uncomment #hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1 => hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1
      3. Uncomment #sdtv_mode=2 => sdtv_mode=2
      4. Comment hdmi_enable_4kp60=1 => #hdmi_enable_4kp60=1

      Does it boot ?

        Thanks for your reply! So I'm really new to this stuff and I don't wanna do something wrong. This is my config.txt:

        #############################################################
        # Boot loader configuration #
        # This file can be modified to your needs #
        #############################################################
        # uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
        #hdmi_safe=1
        disable_overscan=1
        # uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
        #hdmi_group=1
        #hdmi_mode=1
        # Sound output. Set to 0 or comment for autodetect, 1 for DVI, 2 to force HDMI.
        #hdmi_drive=2
        config_hdmi_boost=0
        # force hdmi while the tv can take time before sending the signal on the hdmi output
        #hdmi_force_hotplug=1 <--- comment here
        hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1 #add line here
        # uncomment for composite PAL
        sdtv_mode=2 # <-- uncomment here
        # uncomment for lirc-rpi
        #dtoverlay=lirc-rpi
        # enable fake-kms overlay
        # possible alternatives are
        # * vc4-kms-v3d
        # * vc4-kms-v3d-pi4
        dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
        # allow only one framebuffer (the one marked 0, closest to the power input)
        max_framebuffers=1
        # allow 4k 60hz
        # hdmi_enable_4kp60=1 # <--- here commented
        # total amount of GPU memory
        gpu_mem=448
        ###########################
        # do not remove this line !
        include recalbox-config.txt
        # custom config
        [all]

        Could you point me where I have to make the edits? Thanks in advance!
