      @youxia I've had a good look around the forum but can't find what I'm looking for. It's ok if i use 480i but i have a decent 240p theme. I am having to play at 320x240 atm :/

          @youxia That didn't work. The error log show me the same error as my previous tries :

          ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument

                @NikooZ tvservice for resolution switching is not recommended anymore for the Pi4, due to the change in the GPU driver stack. Most likely any setups relying on it for dynamic resolution switching will encounter problems.

                  @mitu OK thanks. We have to wait for a solution, then !

                  Meanwhile, I can test these previous settings on a pi3b+, this will work ?

                    Yes, they should work.

                      @M3th0D I don't really know much about this method (pun not intended :), you can have a look at these two threads, maybe you can salvage something from there. shmups.System11 is always a good place to ask about such stuff anyway:

                        I think the only way is to have something like:

                        CEA for emulationstation and DMT for retroarch. I can't figure out any other way :/

                          I don't think anyone really replied as to the best theme for this type of setup? What themes that work well?
