Q: When I boot my Raspberry Pi image for Batocera I get the Batocera Logo then I just get a black screen and the lcd looses single.
A: This has to do with the LCD you are hooking it into, it is not liking the resolution output. To correct this do the following:
-- Download Notepad ++ Here, it is a free program. This will allow you to edit the config file without corrupting it.
-- Download is here: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases/download/v8.6.4/npp.8.6.4.Installer.exe
- Once you get it downloaded and installed put the SSD into a windows PC and it will open like a standard flash drive. If it tells you to format any portion of it do not do it. Just close that prompt.
- You will see a text file named: config. Right click and edit with Notepad ++
- With the file open look for the below line, on ours its around line 34
# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
# framebuffer_width=1280
# framebuffer_height=720
Simply remove the # on the 2 lines only and make it look like this
# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
framebufferwidth=1280
framebufferheight=720
then save. Put the SSD back into the pi and it should now get a screen.
