      Hi
      When I use HDMI output on rapsberry with a HDMI-HDMI cable connected to my TV, there is no issue. (=cable: HDMI-HDMI)

      When I use HDMI output on rapsberry with a HDMI-DVI cable connected to my computer screen, I have got an issue. (=cable HDMI-DVI)

      The raspberry starts normally. EmulationStation is loading, but at the end of the load, I have got a black screen. The emulationStation menu doesn’t appear.

      Has someone already solved a similar issue with EmulationStation ?

        I'm having the same issues currently. Did you ever find a fix for this issue of swapping from HDMI to DVI? If I find anything myself, I'll post back.
