HDMI Output

These instruction only work for aarm64 devices. This is not implemented for x86_64 devices.

Press L1 + START + SELECT while in EmulationStation to swtich between Screen and HDMI output.

While this should work; it doesn't always result in the correct resolution. The best way to get consistent results is to turn off the device, plug in an HDMI cable and reboot.

"Why doesn't hot-plugging just work?"... Hot-plug HDMI switching is a fairly complex action to accomplish and not something we have implemented on any device. If you are a developer and interested in helping to build this functionality please start here: Contribute
