Composite Video

[rewell]

Hy, sorry for my bad english. I try to build a gameboy with my RPI3. I start a game, no matter is it a gameboy,playstation..... game. When i connected my RPI with HDMI at my TV every game starts, but when i changed to the composite output i can switch to the game and can press Start and then i get a black screen. I restart my PI and everything is ok only when i change to KODI or try to start a Game. I hope someone understand what i mean and can help me.

Hi there. Have problems with my Raspi3 and Compsite out too. Changed everything in the configs like in https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Connect-your-recalbox-to-a-CRT-with-composite-(EN) described. But the black screens ist always there. Cant see RecalBoxOS Boot, nor the ES Emuscreen and so on. Please help!   Thanks

Hi, may you copy your full config.txt file please?

Here it is: # 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 # comment to get jack audio 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 # uncomment for composite PAL sdtv_mode=2 hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1 # uncomment for lirc-rpi #dtoverlay=lirc-rpi # if you plug your tv at the same time as your rpi and that the rpi switches from the hdmi or give a low resolution because tv had no enough time to initialize it boot_delay=3 # uncomment if you don't want the rainbow at startup disable_splash=1 # Overclock gpu_mem_256=128 gpu_mem_512=256 gpu_mem_1024=512 avoid_safe_mode=1 kernel=zImage # NOOBS Auto-generated Settings: hdmi_force_hotplug=1

Ok, i tried some modifications and now it works for booting the Recalbox Menu. BUT: i tried to start a Game (here: the Demogame for SNES). AND: The screen is again black! Any Ideas? Here ist the modified config.txt # uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode #hdmi_safe=1 #disable_overscan=1 overscan_left=-14 overscan_right=-24 overscan_top=-28 overscan_bottom=-20 # uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA) #hdmi_group=1 #hdmi_mode=1 # comment to get jack audio #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 # uncomment for composite PAL sdtv_mode=2 hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1 # uncomment for lirc-rpi #dtoverlay=lirc-rpi # if you plug your tv at the same time as your rpi and that the rpi switches from the hdmi or give a low resolution because tv had no enough time to initialize it boot_delay=3 # uncomment if you don't want the rainbow at startup #disable_splash=1 # Overclock gpu_mem_256=128 gpu_mem_512=256 gpu_mem_1024=512 avoid_safe_mode=1 kernel=zImage # NOOBS Auto-generated Settings: #hdmi_force_hotplug=1

Edit your recalbox.conf file then switch global.videomode=CEA 4 HDMI to global.videomode=default

Thanks, forgot to tell. And yes, its starts perfect and shows the menu now on Composite. BUT: After starting an emulation, the screen went black again...

If you are in recalbox v4.0.0 beta, can you start this script /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-support.sh and give me this generated archive.
