on cartidge systems like GB, Snes, nes, etc...
I have sound so I know it boot, but I have nothing on the screen when the game launch

Which games specifically are you trying? and are you using retropie or something else? In some cases, GBA for example, you need a BIOS file, like mentioned above, otherwise things won't work properly.

It should just work, it's odd that you hear the game sounds but not see any picture.

Hi ! I'm not using yet GBA games. I launched contra, castelvania on nes for example. Those roms boot on my rpi3.
Also I'm using recalbox here

Okay. I've never actually used recallbox. So I can't be much help with that. Maybe try copying the roms over again? In recallbox do you have the option to switch emulators? Maybe you can try a different emulator as well.

Hi ! Im also used to retropie
I tried differents emulators on differents systems, and coping roms again.
I reinstall everything but it doesn't work.

Could it be the battery ? I think my battery is almost empty... Could it be a sort of security ?

[Clems57]

ok, so I format my card and reinstall everything two times.
My micro sd card is a 16Go class 10, and no games boot...
I tried GB, NES and homemade roms but nothing works. I really don't get it.

So here what happened : I boot the console, my screen is working, sound is working, but when I launch a game, pouf, blank black screen. And I just have sounds.
But absolutly nothing on the screen...

yeah, since I have no idea about recall box, i can only speculate. But maybe there is an issue and it is reverting to HDMI when you start the game, instead of staying with composite? Maybe there is some type of setting that can be altered. Also, maybe try retropie and see if that will work. If it is specific to recall box, I would assume it is a configuration issue.

I tried something else which actually can help.
I tried retropie...
And it worked. I actually can launch games. And quite easily...
But I have to use a controller, so, I'm still stuck but less than before
