RPi4 + LibreElec + RGB-pi

Hi everyone,

I have some Raspberry Pi 4 and Sony 90's 16/9 CRT TVs that i use with RGB-Pi and Recalbox RGB Dual.

I was at first interested in playing some old games but after some time, i realize i'm only using Kodi. I had good result with Libreelec in the past, but i would like to use my RGB-pi, and why not my RGB dual with LibreElec.

I have found some informations about this here : https://github.com/mortaca/RGB-Pi/tree/master#readme

To be honest, i don't know much about this. I tried making an SD-card and added the lines from the link above, but no result on the screen...

Where could we find a working config for this?

Thank you much

It looks like RGB-pi requires a .dtbo (overlay) file to work and this is not present in the upstream Raspberry Pi kernel repo and thus isn't included with LE images; hence when you add the necessary things to config.txt it doesn't work.

You can try the dtbo file here https://github.com/mortaca/RGB-Pi/tree/master/overlays and copy to /flash/overlays (or drop onto the SD card when not inserted into the Pi) but this file was compiled around 7-years ago so there are no guarantees it will work with the modern Linux kernels LE uses today. The source file is there though, so you could always build a custom LE image with changes to add it or with changes to fixup it's content to work.
