I think once you install the blob it won't do anything different until you set sdtv=16.
Should work on any raspbian based os.

seems to work.
Zero flicker over composite on a thrift store 20" flat tube emerson TV.

This is advance mame 3 running on a rpi3 via command prompt.
will try NES/SNES/genesys emulators tomorrow.

Crap.
There goes my plans to clean out the basement tonight.

I actually have an RPI3 hooked up to a crappy lcd TV with the composite cable along with some 20" TV's in the basement.
Guess i'll install diet-pi and give this a shot tonight.
Sounds like advanced mame and mess is the way to go?

Bought a dead SNES and Genesis off ebay and planned to toss my CHIP computers in them and use 720p over composite for one of my many CRT's for a game room but......if this works on RPI.

wonder if a pi zero will work?
I have one but i don't think i can put my hand on all the annoying min-to normal sized adapters you need to interface with it.

I'm planing to hook up a CRT TV through component (close to RGB) at 240p so yeah, would like to hear how you did it.

I'd like this too. But unfortunately, rpi firmware will only allow interlaced out composite. ;(

https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/683

I'll be using VGA out via GERT board once they come in.
I tried to assemble one but honestly the damn solder pads were too small and my soldering tip too big so i ordered them assembled from DX.com.

After that i have a vga to rgb converter boxes and various other things that should get me 240p on a TV.
I hope.
I honestly don't know which i'll need in which combination but I guess i'll find out. LOL!

HDMI can pass 240p and then you could try using a RadioShack hdmi to composite and see if it holds? I just bought the adapter to hook up my Apple TV to my tv, but can't find the damn remote.

hdmi to composite adaptor has to have an SD mode.
Plus i don't think those will pass 240p.
Think they are locked to 480p

Will it do 240p over composite?

OP posts about 4k arm PC.
Kjr asks about 240p.  haha!

What is the actual graphics card?
the Intel driver I believe requires a kernel update on ubuntu to work right.
Have you tried the opensource driver?

I was wondering if I could do this with my RPI and a gert VGA + hdmi with attractmode.
This tells me maybe I can.

bumpitty bump bump.
C.H.I.P. now has GLES drivers.

going to compile attractmode on it this weekend I hope and see how it runs.

Any luck?

Haven't gotten to it.
working on a project outside i want to finish before the snow flies and freezing is the daily temp because it like sucks working in those conditions.
