      hdmi_group=1
      hdmi_mode=16

      Try adding this to your config.txt and reboot

      hdmi_max_pixel_freq:0=200000000
      hdmi_max_pixel_freq:1=200000000

                I guess you can tell the Pi to ignore the EDID info from the TV. Add these lines (make sure they're not commented):

                hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
                hdmi_group=1
                hdmi_mode=16

                    That't strange. Are you using the image from retropie.org.uk/download ?

                      for my install:

                      • I used raspery pi imager (to download the last version)

                      • I'm booting on SSD USB

                      • I've installed safe shutdown script for my nespi case

                      Actually in my hardware installation i have the R4 connected to my denon amp, connected to my tv. (it work for all my other devices (ps5 switch et PC)

                        I have found a way. I # everything, connecte my raspberry to a no-4k port of my amp audio , and now it show

                        state 0xa [HDMI CUSTOM RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 50.00Hz, progressive
                        

                        It's seems retropie doesn't like my Audio Amp.

                        i there anyway to remove the border aound ? :)

                          @leoxmasa Yes, add disable_overscan=1 to config.txt - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Overscan/.
