@benjaminjay Revert your
config.txtconfigurations and see if it works. The file should be editable from any PC (mac/windows/linux).
If it works, then there's something with your configs - try adding them one by one to see which one is causing this. -
Though not entirely the same configuration (it was a Pi 4), I encountered an issue wherein after the boot sequence the display would be completely blank. I eventually narrowed it down to the memory split setting - I had changed it, trying to follow the instructions for RetroPie 'manual installation.' Keeping it default resolved the problem.
