      @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 ;)
