PiStorm not switching video between RTG and ECS on A500+ #7

Description

@m4tustechna

Hello, i've recently purchased framethrower, excited that i'll be able to use this new hardware. Unfortunately i've hit a brick wall and now i have no idea what to do next.

==Hardware==

SukkoPera's Raemixx500 (A500+ Open source replica)
Raspberry Pi 3a attached on top of PiStorm (Emu68 ver 1.0.7)
The new framethrower for A500 Denise (Using Super Denise)

==Steps i've done==

Basically followed the instructions : https://github.com/PiStorm/Framethrower_Denise/blob/main/setup.md
Installed pistorm/framethrower related stuff successfully.
Made a "cmdline.txt" on the BOOT dir of the sd card. Wrote "unicam.boot unicam.integer" and saved.
Edited config.txt, just to add the "720p50Hz Output" settings.
Updated the framethrower firmware successfully.

==What is happening==
Power on, get splash screen. For a moment i get a black screen with darker gray square in the middle and then i get to RTG Workbench. From there i simply launch any ordinary program like OctaMED 5 and the video does not switch. When i power off the machine and hold the framethrower update button, basically do the exact steps like when updating firmware. I get to see glitched out OctaMED screen during boot, indicating that it's working and just not switching.

Please give me further instructions on how can i make the switching between screens possible.

Many thanks !
