@mitu Yes, I've checked those out. I will keep digging in the meantime. Hopeful someone has a magic bullet that is the key to my issue :-D Not sure what the differences would be between systems that would cause it to break. Thanks

@ReadyPlayaWon I'll keep that in mind in future situations, but I've had a chance to confirm and the video volume isn't an issue when in HDMI mode. The issue is only with the headphone jack. I'll continue looking for a programming solution.

@mitu Thanks for the reply! I do have a normal TV, the problem is that the HDMI cables I've ordered along with the pi 4 don't work. I'll have to order new ones to test at a later date. The reason I just kept working on with this screen was that I wanted to build a small (4:3) bar top arcade with it. Now, knowing that this screen won't work for this, I'll have to research for a suitable replacement as well. Thanks for the help :)

This confusion happened over the course of weeks after I disabled the onscreen help. Forgive me. I've got some grey hair in my late 30s. :D

@mitu Awesome thank you, apologies for that oversight. Was able to get it going. You have a good weekend!

@TheRog third party images are not supported here (as outlined in this post), particularly those sold with games already installed. You'll have to contact the seller for support or you can create your own image as outlined here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/.

@mitu I see... thanks for the info! Truth be told, I prefer the old text notifications anyway, so I'll be turning off the widgets posthaste.

@alt126 said in Arcade & Mame resolution: What I have to modify to have a better resolution? Resolution is fixed, you can't change it. The only thing you can do is apply filters, which is exactly what your first screenshot is about : there is a blurry effect on it. It's probably retroarch's bilinear filtering, you can find it in retroarch menu : Setting > Video > Bilinear Filtering. Well, i think that blurry effect is horrible tbh, it feels like i need glasses, but i guess everyone has their own tastes.

@Clyde That would be awesome. I've written a script that will take a folder of videos and, using FFmpeg, overlay images on top of them like scan lines and a bezel and spit out a new video. It would be so nice to be able to do this as an image instead like retroarch does.

It was indeed an issue related to the format of the runcommand-onstart.sh file - it was in DOS format. I opened/resaved it in MAC format (using nano). Problem solved. Thank you for your help!

Thanks!!! That solved the problem!

@theissdev I should also mention that this was really my only issue in moving from the Pi 3B+ to the Pi4. Everything else was super simple. Ledspicer required a manual reinstall on the Pi4 simply due to being a bin exe, but that was really it. Most of the old -> new stuff (artwork, custom theme, etc.) all ported over w/ 0 issues. Def. worth the wait. Thanks guys!

I've been reading a littl emore and it seems it is possible to ignore the screens edid data. Instead I can use an edid.dat file with the values I want. I think I have to add hdmi_ignore_edid and hmi_edid_file to config.txt The only thing I don't know is how to create a an edid.dat file with the correct information. If someone knows (or even better, give me a better edid file) how to do this I think this problem is solveable.

@paulo75 you'd be better asking questions at a specialist Retroarch forum. This forum is for Retropie and the varients of it for Pi and Linux installs really.

@mitu thank you , I'll test it and update

@dankcushions Yeah it does and it’s real nice and is a great option for sure. I think maybe I’ll go into a video editor and try to make a single video to use just for the fun of it.

@e4rthdog said in Weekly Build PI4 4.5.10 - TV will keep blanking out, flashing or not working at all.: In any case i learned a lot at least :) I'd say so myself.
