      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.

      @joyrider3774 There is a lot of factors but all we can do is mainly assume the main reasons why.

      This thread from 2018 discussed a couple of options to stream your Pi's picture to another system, but I don't know how much of it is still viable. As you can see there, I tried to do it myself, but I eventually gave up, because it was either not working or too slow on my Pi 3B. Maybe the latter will be better on a Pi 4.

      I also tried a external capture card for around 80€, but although it worked, it added somewhat of half a second of delay, which made most games not pleasant to play.

      The reason I wanted to stream the picture rather than just use an hdmi splitter was that my 16:9 / 720p video projector doesn't like the native solution of the 4:3 / 1600x1200 monitor in my arcade cabinet. So I had to convert it somehow, and streaming was one possible way to do that.

      Finally, I found a working solution in an external hdmi-to-vga converter, since my projector only has the aforementioned problems only with digital video signals. Luckily, there's no discernable difference in the quality of the analog vga picture, maybe because I spanned the hdmi cable most of the way and plugged the vga converter directly into the projector (it's only the size of a cable's connector without the cable).

      Just some experiences that may show you a viable way for your setup.

      WOW !!! Thanks a lot @mitu !! ;-)

      This KROM X-Box usb gamepad is new, and I didn't know what you meant with X-Input or D-Input.
      So I read in the manual and understood.
      The problem was because when we just connect the gamepad on the RaspBerry Pi 4 (RetroPie) by default it always starts in X-input mode (PC X-Box) and to change to Direct-input mode we just have to press and hold the home button for about 5 seconds.
      Then RetroPie recognized the control normally and it was possible to configure it.

      Thank you so much!!!

      @ravensm This is not something that's developed by RetroPie, but an upstream feature of the kernel/firmware - so it's not going to be supported unless Raspbian/RPF will add it (unlikely).

      You nailed it; once I deleted the shaders folder from retroarch, the update went through without issues.
      Thanks!

      @DarkFaker I understand, but it's still not a pattern, I think it's just a coincidence. FWIW I've been using the Pi4 with either HDMI ports and never had any issues whatsoever, audio or video. I'm sure other users have had the same experiene aswell. That being said - if you'd like to diagnose this, then please open a separate topic and add more info about your setup before trying to isolate the issue.

      @dfelice81 Usually they're created per system, since each system has it's own native resolution and you need to make sure the overlay doesn't obscure the game's video output.

      @comegetsome sdltrs has been recently updated and it should be available on the Pi4 again. Just update your RetroPie-Setup script and then you can install it.

      What game(s) have you tried? It could be a corrupted ROM, so try a few different games or try to find another copy of the game.

      Have you tried to remove the redream package and re-install from the latest binary?

      Also have you tried using the lr-flycast or Reicast emulators to run the game instead? Both can be found within the optional packages menu. When launching the ROM, hit a button to choose which emulator to use(once you have installed them). All three emulators run well on my RPI4 4Gb at stock speeds.

      Only other thing is to think your pi is throttling, have you any heatsinks/cooling? Are you using a case?
