      Hello. I would like to ask this, maybe someone can help me here: So, my Raspberry was working just fine on my TV, but then from one Day to the other my TV just stopped working. It just shows be a black Screen. But the Raspberry works on every other TV/Monitor, and the Cable is fine too. Did my TV just broke or could it have to do something with the Raspberry?

        @darkside1305 did you change your video output in /boot/config.txt to something that tv doesnt support? You should try other hdmi cables even if that one “works”.

          it happened to me too..... edit /boot/config.txt, enable hdmi boost and force tv out to hdmi (uncomment the relative entries). this resolve. PS: if you dont use kodi for movies, force to 720p:
          hdmi_group=1
          hdmi_mode=4
          this make games smoothiest (remember that all retrogames was created for low resolution

              @tostati you can still set Kodi to 1080p btw whilst using 720p for everything else. Kodi on RetroPie restores the previous video mode on exit. I use 720p but boot to Kodi which switches to 1080p. Then I exit to es, and have 720p again.
