      Hi, i recently started setting up a retro gaming system through my original RPI and hooked it up with a controlblock and nes controllers. everything works perfectly through the video port connected to my CRT until i exit a rom then the screen gets alot of fuzzy lines on it, the system still boots back into whatever games its hovering over if i press A then it displays the game but as soon as i exit again i will lose image, plugging it into another monitor ( also through the video port ) shows a bit of text when i exit a rom in the top left corner that says " powering on HDMI mode with preferred settings " im sure there must be a simple solution and ive possibly toggled something but i cant find it, someone help please! thanks in advance.

        Hi @Varyation

        I have only seen that message when I forced the emulators at a specific resolution (in RunCommand), if you have done this it may be getting confused trying to set the resolution back on exit.

        Si

          thank you so much, that seems to have completely fixed it! is there any other way i can force screen settings without getting this error?
