      Hi everyone,

      Could someone please help me find where to fix this issue where I have to have the monitor turned on before I turn on my Raspberry Pi, if I have the monitor off and I turn the RPI on nothing will show in HDMI on the monitor.

      Thanks!

          @mitu I have a raspberry pi model 3b+ and I use this to power my raspberry pi (12v to 5v converter inside unit, 2.5A) while using the joysticks for my arcade machine: https://www.jaycar.com.au/raspberry-pi-retro-arcade-game-console-with-hdmi-port/p/XC9062

          Retropie version 4.8
