    @edmaul69 maybe? but it wouldn't make sense that everything else works how it should.

    booting it as a Linux computer works exactly as it should and all the roms work.

      @justhoeber have you tried forcing a specific video mode (or two) in /boot/config.txt?

        @edmaul69 I tried a couple but dont remeber which ones, the ones I tried made most of the screen white and worse.

        any you would recommend?

          @justhoeber what resolutions does your tv support? Can you use pastebin.com to post the contents of your config.txt? Also what are you installing this on?

            @edmaul69 it is a 1080p tv but it suppots everything down to 240p. I've been installing this on a raspberry Pie 3 model B V1.2.

            config.txt pastebin

                  doh!

                  gpu_mem=128 should be deleted IMO.

                        @justhoeber have you tried these settings?

                        hdmi_group=1
                        hdmi_mode=16
                        

                        If i recall correctly i think i have actually seen this before but i forgot how i fixed it or created the problem.

                        Maybe set this too:

                        config_hdmi_boost=4

                                @justhoeber Never seen anything like it. Does it do this on clean install of retropie from an image?

                                    @justhoeber if it does it again with a new pi then you may have a bad TV ;)
