@jiryn we only get email notifications for your first version of the first version of your post, FYI.

When I tell Retroarch to reset defaults, I lose all controller access.

yeah don’t do this. retroarch defaults are not retropie defaults and will not work.

@handsomegenius I had a good chuckle at your instructions - thanks! They definitely work too as I'm now watching Perth breakfast telly (and losing millions of brain cells by the second). God save us from Australian free to air. It is truly horrid.

@capeman Yeah, cool project! Some day I'd like to do a CRT build.

@lilbud check out online reviews of the TS100. Might be just the ticket for a slightly smaller budget iron. It is the one I have my eye on ATM.

@madmodder123
CRT's are definitely worth checking out. I've spent $25 total for the thriftstore Trinitron and composite cables for the pi. Right now, it's in the parlor room "for the holidays" (AKA I don't want to wrestle it up the stairs just yet!)

(even Kodi works, with some effort)

@jell no. You can change video mode - and if your TV can switch based on that, then maybe. But the rpi can't specifically control various TV model settings.

@mikechi2 Hi mike! Any news about RetroTINK-ULTIMATE?

I use something similar to this to hook my pi to an old wood grain tv with a single coaxial input, but there are hundreds of different brands.

@redmomi Np Happy CRT Gaming 😉
