Hi all,

My Circuit Sword Game-boy works fine and i' m very happy with it.
Yesterday i would try to play on the TV using the HDMI output.
I would play on the TV in 1080p but when i plug the HDMI cable to the TV i think the output video is 640x480.

Using the "one time reboot to HDMI" command in retropie, It looks like there is a problem: Any solutions or, do i use the wrong method ?

Thank you !

Did you edit the config.txt file? Can you upload it here please

hi kite,
thank' s for looking at my small problem.
Yes i have edit the config.txt file because my first time plug with hdmi to TV was' not a success.
My config.txt:

# NOTICE: This file is managed by the Circuit Sword software and is used to
# facilitate HDMI/DPI switching. Do not edit any lines that start with "# CS .."

# The following settings are used by the software to determine the state
# For instance, the STATE of 'IDLE' means that this file is complete and won't
# change. The state of 'REBOOTING_TO_HDMI' means this file is in transition to
# becoming HDMI enabled and so you should NOT edit the file at all in this case.
# This works by removing 1x '#' symbol from each line within the HDMI block. This
# means anything with one '#' will end up being enabled. Anything with 2x '#'s
# will remain disabled (e.g. comments, or alternative modes)

of course i would like a 1920x1080 display ...

Hi, read that 'NOTICE' at the top of the file, you have broken it by removing the # symbols from HDMI config..

See here for the original: https://github.com/kiteretro/Circuit-Sw ... config.txt

Basically, if you have "#" in front of the line, it will get enabled when you do "one time reboot to HDMI"
If you have "##" (two hashes) in front of the line, it will NOT get enabled when you do "one time reboot to HDMI".

You have instead removed all the hashes.. if you want 1080p, then add a # to the lines you don't want and remove ONE # for the 1080P lines..

Does that make sense? It's slightly confusing, but what happens is when you do "one time reboot to HDMI" it goes through the HDMI section and REMOVES 1x # for EVERY line.. hence why the above logic works

Specifically, you should not have:
instead:
and then also change:
to:
To enable 1080p

@kite in that last code block you didn't remove the comments completely. Was that intentional?

Yes i did, see how it changed from "##" to "#" for certain lines, that is how it's meant to be if you read my complete description of how it works (and why the difference between "#" and "##" is important)

hi,

thank you for the explanation ! sure that i wanted black and i wrote white and vice et versa in the config.txt.
Ok now i' ll try to re edit it with correct arguments... and also try to speak english a little better

You understand me and it is already good !

Have a good day.
