Hi there, lets dig this up.

So I tried and I tried. I have a special situvation though as I use retrotink with vga out. So I want to use 240p@120hz but ES do not look good at 240p. So I thought the above info would help
(here it is in english btw: https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Connect-your-recalbox-to-a-CRT-with-HDMI-(EN) )
but no. Im also runing recalbox from a usb drive as my sd card is to small for all games.

So i edited the conf(usb) and the config(SD) on the usb and sd card. But no, ES would still use the the hdmi timings listed in the config file. What am I Doing wrong here? is it because im using a usb? and what are the folder for with a . in front of them. I know rgb-pi had this done so I know it can work, yes I asked him, wont help, cant blame him though being that retrotink is a competing product.

I made a topic on this. Think the answer I got was to set up my controller inside the emulator, inside retroarch. Press action key + b to access retroarch.

That link did not work but I found it anyway. Seems to happen at random so might take some time befor I report back.

@substring how?

This happened again today. So not really solved. A restart fixed the issue. But why is this happening. I'm using the official psu.

@acris
@rockaddicted
well, I got the bios, still same issue. The thing that happens is that the animation (closing circle) from the start screen in to the game dont even play using gpsp, other emulator the animation stop 80% in. But everything still moves and sound plays.

@acris no other game have this issue. But reading the recalbox FaQ, bios seem to be the solution to the gpsp issue. Will report back.

@rockaddicted
Using gpsp the game won't even load, just throws me right back out to emulationstation.

And we have progress. Mike Chi mailed me back with a working config file. Now hdmi timings it came with was out of range for me so I used

hdmi_timings=2048 1 180 202 300 240 1 3 5 14 0 0 0 120 0 85909090 1

From his website.

Now I have thees sh files found here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8uZtHByEHyBMkNRRmk4T2E1ZUk to make emulation not stretch so much. Were do I put them to have the same effect as with retropie.

It worked now after a soft restart, doing a hard restart now....
Works. Please ignore... Wonder why it happens though.

If I use USB storage and at the same time have the RetroTINK-ULTIMATE on, games won't boot. But they will boot from the SD card. Though it might be some setting I use that is stored on the USB that causes the issue. Or not, games stems I never changed also do not work.

Using the lakka img I do get image, 120hz 240p also working. So nothing wrong on the hardware side.

I'm now trying the pre made lakka img to know everything is working.

@substring

I use overlays for scanlines? But I guess you're meant somthing else.

I have now tried without hdmi timings. I also tried dpi_group 2 and dpi_mode 4 to no success.

No image whatsoever. My crt monitor does notice when I plugg the vga in and out.

@rockaddicted
Should have said I tested that. All of them.

@substring I do not, no image. I'm yet to test without any hdmi_timings though, will test to use only dpi_group=2 dpi_mode=87 when I get home.

So I bought this hat to output to vga and use some custom hdmi_timings. But I just can't get an image. At all.

I use the configuration file found here http://eightvirtues.com/?page_id=418 but I guess that was not made with vga in mind.

This game will boot but freeze after start screen. This seems to be be a known issue. But I know they solved it as I don't remember having this issue on pc.
