Thanks again.

I found how to fix it, in case anyone stumbles upon the same problem:

xset -display :0 dpms force on

enabled my hdmi monitor again.

Going to reinstall retropi again, see if it breaks again and if I can fix it like this again.

Perfect, thanks for the help mitu & BuZz 😁

i think i see the problem and it might just be the refreshrates, when in emulationstation after boot,
Putty Display
but hitting a button before kodi loads,
Waveshare LCD Display

Sorry for the larger second image, took it w/ my phone. so the problem might be its setting an invalid 30hz refreshrate that this display cannot handle.

ok, somethinsg dodgy... on loading Kodi, i'm whitescreen as per usual, But putty shows still
alt text
and it recovers after awhile, but the moment i press a button. pfft! Whitescreen.

Edit:
ok lastnight which i forgot to post before passin out.. Reicast had teh same problem but it was setting an independent Render resolution, which was fixed by editing the emu.cfg this has me thinking either Kodi's setting a bad pixelclock/setting an independent resolution which the force options in config.txt dont do didly Squat.

@wawa My issue was over with that. changing that from the editor was enough to make it work.
Make sure you type all the correct characters and texts leaving no room for Retropie to rewrite that info

Hello.

Can you tell me what the size of the lunchbox is exactly ?

Found a (very) few here at Amazon Europe but there are from different sizes...

Thanks !

@gojira said in Official screen AND hdmi:

My goal is to make a mini gaming machine that I can use "portably" as well as plugged into a monitor.

I am also trying to do this! Did you succeed? If so, I'm very curious to hear about it!
