      Has anyone been able to get Retropie 4.5 to display over the RCA cables? It's displaying a black screen on NTSC. I can only get it to display over HDMI. The usual config.txt fixes aren't working.

              @Deityfierezy Use Retropie 4.4 until they fix the bug with 4.5. It works fine on NTSC/PAL.

                  @Deityfierezy You don't need to modify config.txt if you use Retropie 4.4 with an NTSC CRT. It should automatically detect and output video over 3.5mm to RCA. But if you want to modify it use Notepad++

                    It's a bug with the latest firmware. Will update when a newer kernel is packaged. You can downgrade though. See - https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1166

                    Can use this to downgrade kernel - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/190436
