      Can you choose verbose/debug logging from the Runcommand launch menu and then post the log file (from /dev/shm/runcommand.log) to pastebin.com ?

      RetroArch has a setting to choose which monitor to use for video output, but if you're not having multiple monitors connected, it wouldn't be useful. Try bringing up the RGUI with Hotkey + X and change that, assuming it would show the menu.

        i am using display port on my rx 480 card, if that matter.
        current setup as of now PC > DP > monitor 1,
        i am planning to do
        PC> DP > monitor 1
        > HDMI > overhead monitor 2
        when i use that verbose, nothing show one screen.
        no luck on the RGUI, when i push that i guess the menu must show up on the screen that i cant see.

        here's the log

          The verbose setting was to add more into to the log file, I didn't think it would change the video output. Says in the log that resolution is 1600x1200 - is that correct for your monitor ?
          Try to run RetroArch standalone, without any RetroPie configs, just to rule out any issue with the default configuration. Run

          HOME=/tmp/ra /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -v --menu

          and see if anything changes.

            thanks for replying, mitu.
            yes, that's the correct resolution. the build was 20.1" dell monitor that mod to fit into an arcade 1up cab.
            run the code, retroarch launch, but still black screen.

              Did you install the AMD driver for your card ? Did you try with the open source (radv) driver instead ?

                      That doesn't seem to work at all - but it looks like it's using the same GPU driver (proprietary AMD install).

                          If the vulkaninfo command is ok, then try switching the RetroArch's video driver from gl to vulkan in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg. It should be the line with video_driver.
