@90sgamer I am starting over with a new image. thanks anyway for your help. disregard previous msgs

@windg I can't believe I forgot about SBI files. Thank you!

@dankcushions I finally figured out what the problem was. I simply used the wrong hdmi on the Pi. For my Monitor and most other Users its the inner hdmi. For my OLED its the outer one..

@Ashpool I just tried and I was able to create Files on ext4. But I will not use it anymore and copied the file per sftp to the Pi. I m using Bitvise SSH Client.worked great

Please more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Include the name of the game/emulator that have this issue. Does it happen for all games or it's just for some of them ?

@mitu Thanks for the suggestion. Tried that already previously but it didn't work, but I will give it another go. I hope the new HDMI cable will fix the issue.

@mitu thanks I will try that

@tzinck the link I shared mentioned how to retrieve the verbose log.

Ok, thank you. I'll give a try with those options.

@UberLumby seems like the usual incomplete neogeo.zip issue

This has been accepted and merged on GlideN64 master branch, so the game should be fixed when updating from source on RetroPie setup.

Thanks, Isn't it strange that with no SD card inserted it comes right up on the TV? Thats what has me so confused and it used to work fine on my RCA TV. I never have been able to get it working on the Bravia or Samsung. I had done that before, but I used Escher. MAybe that's the issue. I'll flash with the official one.

Appreciate the help.

@doctorbeefy said in Majority of screen hidden when launching game:

Bumping this as I am having the same issue. Anyone come across a fix? it seems to only happen for Sega Mastersystem/genesis and lr-genesis-plus-gx, other systems and cores work fine.

For most people, this glitch is something that originates in RetroArch and needs a fix. A future release of RA will probably take care of it. In the meantime here is a workaround:

After the game starts and you see this happen, use (Hotkey + "B") to reset the ROM. It should come back with the whole screen visible.

It's ok now, thank you :-)

@mitu omxplayer accelerator was already on so i turned it off to see if it worked but it didn’t

@yaya said in Pi 4 Black Screen after autostart:

may you should add this information into the FAQ ;-)

That's not a bad idea - we'll have a PI4 specific page 'really soon'. Have fun !

This is my screen:
http://www.lcdwiki.com/4inch_HDMI_Display-C

And I think this set of commands will install the driver:
sudo rm -rf LCD-show
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./MPI4008-show

They have 2 drivers for the 4" screen, so I'm hoping that points to the right ones.
