3.2" SPI LCD (working and ready for a build)

That is the FPS being output to the framebuffer, but FBTFT/FBCP reads FROM that framebuffer as fast as it can, so that FPS isn't what you're actually seeing.. you need to know the FPS that FBTFT/FBCP is able to write to the screen which will be a lot less. You will see 60fps on HDMI though and if you put side by side you'll see that they are quite different in terms of FPS

where should i be looking?

a point in the right direction would help....

I don't know sorry. When launching fbcp and in /var/log/messages it will report the FPS? It wouldn't be too hard to modify the fbcp source to get it to collect an FPS and print to screen once a second

have you got the FPS command in you fbtft.config? mario's legs look a little slow in super mario world. I normally use that start video as an indication of how fast things are running. When he is running, his legs go like mad!!

i would normally say to up the speed, but you have already done that! the FPS command adjusts how often it sends an update to the screen. I normally use fps=60 but it never actually gets to 60.

The tearing you only really tend to see on large colour shifts, like when the sega logo fades out at the start of sonic. There is no getting away from the tearing im afraid.

I added fps=60 in

/etc/modprobe.d/fbtft.conf (not 100% if thats where it should be)

and I did notice a difference in Mario running




is there a way to actually see what the FPS is in the games....

Looks a LOT better than the composite BW screens imo.
I plan to make more than one GBZ since i have a few friends that would love to have one. Plus im having fun stretching my electronic knowledge a bit for a change (i got a job where i almost never touch a soldering iron so ive kinda lost most of my knowledge from college, and when i do touch one im just putting a jumper wire in). First one im using a BW just so i can follow guides a bit closer, but from then on i plan to experiment. I'll have to try this screen!

Im getting a 60fps too when i tried a 2.2" spi screen but obviously not 60fps at all.

how do you know your getting 60FPS.....

Yeah that looks much better, you can see his little feet going like mad now!

You can add debug=32 at the end of your config, then if you ssh in, a quick dmesg will show you the calculated FPS that the screen is getting (how long each screen update is taking). I would say take it back out if the config once your done, save spamming the system logs

just so that i know i doing it correctly.....

added debug=32 to the end of the config....
did dmesg....

is this what im meant to have seen....




i'm not 100% certain, so apologies for the noob questioning....
