      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!
