I'm a bit new to raspberry pi so i'm hoping someone more experienced can suss this out for me. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
I have retropie on 2 different raspberry PIs.
1 is the original raspberry pi 1
The other is a Raspberry PI 2 Model B 1.1
Obviously each one has a retropie version suited to itself. It's not the same version on each.
I have a Philips 23PF5321/01 TV and all the specs can be found here: https://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/23PF5321_ ... d-hd-ready
My raspberry PI 1 fires up no problems and although I have some issues with the display initially, I managed to get it working via phono cables into the TV from the composite video out. I suspect I couldn't get it working with the DVI input on the TV for some config or resolution reason.
Recently I got a PI 2 given to me so i'm trying to get it working. I obviously don't have the option of a composite out this time. So when I plug into my main TV (which I don't want to use) I can use a HDMI to HDMI cable and everything works perfectly. But when I plug into the philips TV which is a hdmi to VGA cable and then plugged into a DVI socket (which is all i have that fits) I have no signal at all.
Here's my config file (I tried multiple combinations of settings and kind of lost track). If anyone can point out any mistakes or any options which match up to the specs of the monitor resolution I would be extremely grateful but at the minute, I can't seem to get the screen to show anything yet:
