        The PI will try to auto-detect your VIDEO connection - if it detects a HDMI signal, it will use it, otherwise it will try to use the analog port.
        Give it a try and see if works for you.

          @mitu I tried to use the analog output but it did not identify but with an older version of the retropie was installed and had the option to choose, but presented monochrome video. In this version that is retropie 4.3 does not have the option and I do not know how to fix the monnochrome video.

            Try playing with the sdtv_mode option in the configuration file - https://elinux.org/RPiconfig#Video_mode_options - and see if it helps. Are you sure you are using the proper TRRS analog cable for the composite video output (see here) ?

                  @Veggirop The cable looks correct, but it might be the cause of the B&W image (i.e. colours not being correctly set).
                  Take a look at this RPI forum topic, which has a similar symptom and was solved by changing the cable.
