      without any config chages ?

      And if so, is it possible to switch between the HDMI output and the 7" screen ? Which output has priority when booting Recalbox ?

      Thanks!

        No you can't. The 7" screen (as the 5") needs specifc configuration in config.txt file since it does not embed a scaler chip. You need to fix the resolution in the config.txt file to make it work.

        So if you do that, you will have the same resolution on your TV screen.

            official does not need resolution configuration? so it embeds a scaler chip 😉

              @ian57 no idea. I just said it works, no idea about configuration details. But you probably need to edit the config.txt and recalbox.conf to set to the native resolution of the screen

                    Thanks guys! I'll give it a try. Just ordered the screen and we'll see what's neccessary in terms of config adjustments.
