      I'm on a raspberry pie 3b+ with the latest retropie build. Shortly after upgrading, I started having some strange HDMI issues.

      The first is my tv can't seem to settle on the right resolution. It keeps counting up (

      ). The next is that once it does settle on 1080, the screen flickers (
      ).

      Any recommendations on fixing this would be much appreciated. Thank you!

        update: I tried updating the config.txt file by adding the config_hdmi_boost=4 to it. Still flickering.

            One thing I always recommend first with strange video issues: check the cable. 🤓

              Oh, and it would be nice if you'd add "[Solved]" before the thread's title. 👍
