Before submitting your issue or feature request. DO NOT REQUEST ASSISTANce FOR PRELOADED IMAGES. I do not support or condone the use of preloaded ArkOS images. Preloaded meaning images that come with copyrighted roms preincluded. Look for support from the creator or supplier of those preloaded images, not from here! If a ticket is submitted for assistance for such images or if there's an indiciation that a preloaded image is what the support request is for, the issue ticket will be closed with no further response.

  1. This is not the Stock OS that comes with your device, AmberElec, JelOS, or UnOfficialOS. ArkOS is a different distribution from those systems and will have differing features. The only somewhat similarity is that they both use EmulationStation as a frontend. Even with that, the versions of EmulationStation that's used in between ArkOS and these other distributions is different with different capabilities. If there are features you prefer with the other available distributions, just use those distributions instead. The choice is yours.

  2. Have you reviewed the Frequently Asked Questions section available for your supported device in the wiki?

  3. If your issue is related to being able to run certain emulators or ports, have you reviewed the Emulators and Ports section available at https://github.com/christianhaitian/arkos/wiki/ArkOS-Emulators-and-Ports-information for needed bios files and supported rom extensions?

  4. Have you reviewed the known issues section available at https://github.com/christianhaitian/arkos/wiki/Known-issues ?

Describe the Issue (If applicable)

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

When connecting an HDMI out, it seems the device defaults to 1080p. And then I'm not clear what happens, but several games don't launch in this mode. For outputting to CRTs and just to have more flexibility it would be great to be able to set the output resolution to 640 x 480 or even 320 x 240.

How can the issue be reproduced? (If applicable)

Connect the device to an hdmi out.

What device are you using? (Only the Gameforce Chi, RK2020, OGA 1.0, OGA 1.1, RG351MP, RG351V, RGB10, R35s, RG353V/VS, RG353M, RG503, RGB30, and RK2023 units are officially supported)

PowKiddy RGB30

What version of ArkOS are you on?

Anything else you'd like to include that may help to review this issue or feature request?

An options menu would be great, but even a FAQ on how to edit the appropriate config file would be greatly appreciated!

The default is 720p and to change the output, this has to be done my modifying the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file and changing the end of the line from 1280x720 to 640x480. Then the unit has to be rebooted. I don't know if any other resolution besides 1280x720 will work though so good luck.
