      Hello!

      Please, I need some help on this one! I´m using a Pi4 8GB model with virtualman´s image on it which runs perfectly on my HDMI display.

      As I´m building an arcade cabinet with the Pi inside, I´ve decided to get a 21" Sony Trinitron CRT to get the best possible results.

      My pi2scart arrived 3 days ago, ever since I´m trying to get a signal to my crt!

      I don´t know what I´m doing wrong, I´ve followed the instructions on the acradeforge site and have been browsing the internet for the last few days, with no success :(

      All I get is a black screen, I´ve tried changing stuff in the config.txt file but nothing.

      I´d be very grateful for some hints!

      Here´s my config:

      For more options and information see

      http://rpf.io/configtxt

      Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

      Avoid Warnings symbols (Not Recommended)

      #avoid_warnings=1

      disable_splash=1

      #Ensures the LCD is not the default display
      display_default_lcd=0

      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)

      uncomment to define the custom video mode over hdmi

      https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md

      command hdmi_cvt=<width required> <height required> <framerate required> <aspect no> <margins 0-1> <interlace 0-1> <rb 0-1>

      aspect ratios numbers fro hdmi_cvt command 1=4:3, 2=14:9, 3=16:9, 4=5:4, 5=16:10, 6=15:9

      #hdmi_group command options 0/(Auto) / 1(TVs CEA) / 2(Monitors DMT)
      hdmi_group=1
      hdmi_group=1
      hdmi_mode=16
      #hdmi_cvt9=800 480 60
      #hdmi_cvt12=2160 1440 60
      hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080

      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 define the aspect ratio for composite video output

      #4:3 is 1, 16:9 is 3
      #sdtv_aspect=3
      #uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
      #uncomment to enable custom overclock settings
      #arm_freq=2000
      #gpu_freq=600
      #over_voltage=6

      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

      Uncomment this to enable the lirc-rpi module

      #dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

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

      Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)

      dtparam=audio=on
      gpu_mem_256=128
      gpu_mem_512=256
      gpu_mem_1024=384
      gpu_mem_2048=512
      gpu_mem_4096=512
      #overscan_scale=1

      Enables USB BOOT MODE on PI3B

      program_usb_boot_mode=1
      enable_uart=1

      [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

      #Onboard analogue audio options in config.txt (3.5mm jack) https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/audio.md
      #Crackle sound fix: Use of the two below options
      #audio_pwm_mode=0
      #audio_pwm_mode=2

      By default, a 1.0LSB dither is applied to the audio stream if it is routed to the analogue audio output. This can create audible background "hiss" in some situations, for example when the ALSA volume is set to a low level

      disable_audio_dither=1
      enable_dpi_lcd=1
      display_default_lcd=1
      dpi_group=2
      dpi_mode=87
      hdmi_timings=320 1 16 30 34 240 1 2 3 22 0 0 0 60 0 6400000 1 #240p

      I really hope someone has the time to look over this and maybe spot the error(s), it´s driving me nuts!

      Thanks, Sam
