Hyperpixel not working reliably on turn on

[sianisstruggling]

Running on Pi zero running Lite Legacy to run the Adafruit Video Looper.

When I first turn on (after full shutdown) the screen doesn't work first time (once in a blue moon it will work but virtually never). The pi is running a video looper with a USB speaker and I can hear the audio play so I know the looper is working, but nothing is shown on the screen.

I do a sudo reboot and usually this gets the screen to work, but sometimes it takes multiple reboots and/or shutdowns, which is not ideal. I've no idea what it is that is causing the screen to be so temperamental.

I am using the Hyperpixel round and have put this issue there but notice there is not the same level of support as on this channel

This is my install method:

1. Install raspberry lite legacy

2. Install basic stuff
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install -y git

3. Install Hyperpixel round
   git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/hyperpixel2r
   cd hyperpixel2r
   sudo ./install.sh

4. Disable i2c, SPI and any other interface

5. GL drive set to G1 legacy

6. Install Video Looper (https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi-video-looper/installation)
   git clone https://github.com/adafruit/pi_video_looper.git
   cd pi_video_looper
   sudo ./install.sh

7. Install speaker (https://thepihut.com/products/mini-external-usb-stereo-speaker)
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt full-upgrade
   sudo reboot
   sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
   sudo reboot

8. Check ALSA modules
   cat /proc/asound/modules

9. Check sound hardware
   cat /proc/asound/cards

10. Check info on card-1
    amixer -c 0

11. Test speaker
    aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav -D sysdefault:CARD=0

12. Add to the user config in: sudo nano ~/.asoundrc

pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
}

ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}

13. Add to the system config in: sudo nano /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf

sudo nano /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
defaults.ctl.card 0
defaults.pcm.card 0

14. Add to the system module conf in: sudo nano /lib/modprobe.d/aliases.conf

options snd_usb_audio index=0

15. Update videoloop config to alsa audio and snd_usb_audio (0)

Any advice on how to make it run more reliably would be much appreciated.
