    Hey all! :)

    I have a strange issue. I have tried 2 differend RPI3 with original powesupply and another random 2.5A 5v psu but no luck.

    After a clean install of retropie 4.2 and editing the config file with these extra lines:

    disable_audio_dither=1
    dtparam=audio=on
    dtoverlay=vga666
    enable_dpi_lcd=1
    display_default_lcd=1
    dpi_group=2
    dpi_mode=87
    hdmi_timings=320 1 16 30 34 240 1 2 3 22 0 0 0 60 0 6400000 1 #240p

    I get a really nice bootlogo, and I can see the text start scrolling, but a few seconds in the screen turns pinkish/redish and looks all wierd :/

    I have tried 3 different CRT sets, (lumatron, philips, sony trinitron) and all 3 gets this wierd issue. (all 3 pal tvs but should support)

    What am I missing? How come the picture looks good in the first few secs and then just changes? What really happens in those bootsteps? Its so fast I cant read it.

    Heres a clip of what happens (sorry for the TATE view but I didnt think about it at the moment filming)

    Anything else I need to change? (without changing the config all works perfect on my hd lcd via hdmi)

    Thanks in advance for reading :D

    Best regards from Sweden // Stefan

              I also tried installing a standalone amibian image but same problem.. hmm.. Could it be the adapter itself? I have tried changing:

              Raspberry Pi 3
              Scart cable
              Power supply
              Sd card image (amibian & retropie & recallbox)
              Sd card
              TV

              Feels a bit like it's only the adapter left.. I'll send them a email and explain the situation and see what he says.

              I'll keep this one updated!

                @BuZz ok. I was curious as i am not used to seeing lines with two equal symbols. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

                  Now, finally I found another image from the retropie facebook grp... tried it and BAM, no more color problems!!! Wth?
                  Guess I need to compare the configs since this last one was pre-configured for crt.

                  Awesome! :) Who would have thought-.. Thanks all!
