Multiple Screen - File Cofing
-
I am developing a project of a portable game, which can be connected to the TV. I want to make a retro game like a Nintendo Switch, which I can switch from laptop to desktop.
But I have two problems:
1- I'm using a car camera screen with a composite video input. For the image to look good, I had to change the resolution (config file) setting to the resolution of the 480x360. However, my TV is already HD. So, when I turn the console on the TV, the image gets small on the screen.
2- Every time I switch from the small screen to the TV, I need to restart the console so that it identifies the video connection exchange. Since the small screen uses AV and the TV uses HDMI.
My doubts are:
1 - Is there any way to change the configuration file to increase or decrease automatically when switching from the portable screen to the TV?
2 - Is there a way to change video output without turning RPI off?
I'm using an RPI 3.
Thank you. -
@victornmartins Resolution cannot be changed on the fly. The resolution / output mode is determined by the settings in
/boot/config.txtas you obviously know, These settings are loaded on boot and it takes a reboot to reload any changes made.
Sorry but what you are proposing is just not possible. -
