Recalbox RGB/Scart Output kein Bild

[Pietze]

Oh man, I think my SCART2PI will arrive tomorrow. I really hope I won't spend the whole weekend to get this started!

@funkybunch Und, hat es sich am Ende gelohnt?

[Pietze]

Is there anybody else working with Pi2Scart and a Rasberry Pi3 + Recalbox setup? I spend the whole evening trying to get this running, but I just get a black screen, even with @funkybunch final settings

I'm starting to think I'm better of with my composite 240p signal, at least that worked out very easy...

@ian57 can you share your experience with Pi2SCART ?

[ian57]

@Substring LOL, did not test it yet... sorry
perhaps next week

[Pietze]

@ian57 Little update: I used a pre-defined .img on another sd card with Retropie and it works. Unfortunately, I'm not able to copy those settings successfully to my Recalbox card. If you find a way, keep my updated please

[ian57]

@Pietze I tested on my recalbox this morning... scrumbling blue image with the basic config given in http://strike-devices.net/index.php/pi2scart/. I will try another scart cable... and test retropie too, to see if it comes from config... or hardware

My bad.... GPIO controls was activated in recalbox.conf : it is my recalbox for testing.... so....

so the only thing to do is to add :

disable_audio_dither=1
dtparam=audio=on
dtoverlay=vga666
enable_dpi_lcd=1
display_default_lcd=1
dpi_group=2
dpi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=320 1 16 30 34 240 1 2 3 22 0 0 0 60 0 6400000 1 #240p

at the end of /boot/config.txt
for that read the following page : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Edit-the-config.txt-file-(EN)

@ian57 That's so weird! I put that same code in my Recalbox config.txt as well. I just got that black screen Even on a fresh new install. Those GPIO controls aren't something that are activated usually, right?

I started a Retropie on another SD card, and that works. So, it doesn't seem a problem on the hardware side, I'm afraid...

@Pietze Are you using the 4.1 release? I omitted to say , that it is working with the 4.1 release

see here for DL https://archive.recalbox.com/updates/v1.0/unstable/

[Pietze]

@ian57 Oh, well I should try 4.1! It's still 4.0.2 ^^

However, that Pi2Scart is worth the trouble:

[ian57]

@Pietze I made my tests on 4.1. I think you should try the 4.1 release... and yes it gives some great images ... with some work to configure it . See http://strike-devices.net/index.php/pi2scart/ to reproduce the emulator config in recalbox for a better image.
