        Thanks.

        There are a few things I see.
        xrandr only sees 1 resolution.
        And I don't have this :
        SDL_VIDEO_KMSDRM_CRTCID=87 SDL_VIDEO_KMSDRM_MODEID=37

        Well, I have to think about that.
        Not really sure where to look.
        I think I will hook up a TV and see what my output is.

        I will look at it tomorrow again and it can take a while before I respond to it.

            This may happen because you modified config.txt and instructed the bootloader to ignore the display's EDID. Did you edit the config.txt file ? Then post the contents here - surrounded by code tags (```).

              thanks for your help. ive defiantly altered the config file because of overclocking, which runs stable. ive also tested supermodel without oc whivh was even slower. here is the config:

              # For more options and information see
# http://rpf.io/configtxt
# Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
#hdmi_safe=1

# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
disable_overscan=1

# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16

# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
hdmi_force_hotplug=1

# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=82

hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1
# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
#hdmi_drive=2

# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
# no display
#config_hdmi_boost=4

# uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode=2

#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800
over_voltage=8
arm_freq=2147
gpu_freq=750

# Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces
#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on

# Uncomment this to enable infrared communication.
#dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=17
#dtoverlay=gpio-ir-tx,gpio_pin=18

# Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README

# Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
dtparam=audio=on

[pi4]
# Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2

[all]
#dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
#overscan_scale=1

                @phialek Any reason you've added the hdmi_group/mode options ? Comment them, along with the hdmi_force_audio_edid=1 and try again. If you have a Pi4, the gpu_mem is also redundant and it's not needed (default is 76M).

                  I think i was trying to rotate the screen in moonlight, but i don't remember that really.

                  Can i just delete the hdmi group and hdmi mode comments there?

                    Good call of @mitu.
                    Actually I was thinking a bit in the same area, yesterday.

                    I would not delete the lines just comment them with # .
                    Your pi should boot if you comment those lines, just like this :

                    # uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1

# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
#hdmi_group=2
#hdmi_mode=82

#hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1

                    Be aware that you always turn on your TV or monitor before turning on the pi.
                    Not the other way around, as the pi might not recognize the TV or monitor.

                      That is a small problem. I have a cabinet and everything will is powered on at the sane time. I will try it out anyway :)

                        Powering the tv and pi at the same time will often give the same problem, not recognizing the TV or monitor properly.

                        Curious if it will improve after all recommendations.

                          unfortunatly that didnt help at all....

                          the log changed though, no more errors. but performance is as slow as before.

                                  @folly Yes we talked about that didn't we? This is a good plan

                                  I canceled my idea of making a new thread, at this moment.
                                  It seems there isn't that much amino for it, otherwise more people would have reacted on the idea.

                                  We can always do it in the future, when there is more desire.
                                  Agreed ?

                                      @folly I agree with Crush, I'd like to see a separate thread as well for the same reasons.

                                        More people out there ?

                                        I will give it a second thought.

                                            Tutorial for RetroPie:
                                            Go out from Emulationstation with WiFi or Ethernet connection to Internet, press START -> QUIT, QUIT EMULATIONSTATION.

                                            Now download script inside emulators folder, typing:

                                            cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/

                                            Now get the script type:

                                            wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/bcc1bfb9ef00ded0b060f70df06d10c6660f07f1/00-scriptmodules-00/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick.sh

                                            Go back to Emulationstation or directly open retropie_setup.sh :

                                            sudo /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/./retropie_setup.sh

                                            Once RetroPie Setup open, go to Manage experimental packages and search for option 53 Supermodel-mechafatnick, press Enter and then choose Install from source, acept with Yes by pressing Enter and wait for the magic of @mechafatnick and @Folly .
                                            If it fail because Internet down, just retry!

                                            Once installed, choose <back> by pressing Enter , repeat untill go back to <Exit> and exit.

                                            Supermodel was succesfully installed

                                            We need a theme for SuperModel:

                                            I share mine, if you dont want, you need to create one yourself. So the next step is totally optional:

                                            cd

                                            git clone https://github.com/Luciano2018/SuperModel3_Pi_Buenos_Aires.git

                                            cd SuperModel3_Pi_Buenos_Aires

                                            sudo mv /home/pi/SuperModel3_Pi_Buenos_Aires/model3 /etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/supermodel

                                            Where i put roms(*.zip extension)?:

                                            /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/supermodel

                                            I don't want your theme, tell me the steps man!:

                                            First you need a nice logo.svg or logo.png
                                            Here,in this thread are a very cool logos so search or google someone.

                                            Now we need create the model3 theme, from another one that came with RetroPie by default:

                                            sudo cp -rf /etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/arcade /etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/model3

                                            Put your logo named system.svg in /home/pi/ folder then move it to the correct folder:

                                            sudo mv /home/pi/system.svg /etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/model3/art/

                                            Nice theme finished!!!

                                            But if you get a logo .png you need extra steps to show correctly, rename to system.png put in /home/pi/ folder and move it to the right place:

                                            sudo mv /home/pi/system.png /etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/model3/art/

                                            Because the *.png extension you need to edit the file *themes.xml:

                                            sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/model3/theme.xml

                                            Here change all the system.svg to system.png so *EmulationStation will see your choice logo, the file will turn to this:

                                            <theme>

<formatVersion>3</formatVersion>

<include>./../carbon.xml</include>

<view name="system">

</view>

<view name="basic"> </view>

<view name="detailed"> </view>

</theme>

                                            Save with Ctrl+o (vowel o) then press Enter to confirm the change and close the file with Ctrl+x

                                            Remember this instructions for theme are based in theme Carbon if you have another one, you will have to learn how do similar steps but for your current theme.

                                            Now just type:

                                            reboot

                                            And enjoy, search for roms!!!

                                            Thats all!!!
