Based on the awesome guide by moosepr, and some help from him on this forum and a topic on the RetroPie forums, I created a little guide for the even smaller SPI screens 1.44" 128*128 pixel and 1.8" 128*160 pixels. These screens have an ili9163 instead of an ili9341.
The thread this guide is based on: [Guide] ili9341 SPI TFT Screen on Retropie You need this guide for the larger than 1.8" screens!
The guide for the smaller screens: Connecting an SPI ILI9163 Screen to RetroPie
These are the screens that have headers marked LED, SCK, SDA, A0, RESET, CS, GND and VCC.

Very nicely done! Looks pretty
Get a small cheep LCD in your project https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2312
Wrap it all round a battery https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2292
Or use a custom PCB to make it really small https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2512

Re: [Guide] ili9163 SPI TFT Screen on Retropie
Hey! Thanks again for the nice and simple guide. I followed it, however I ran into a problem.
The display got some garbage pixels on edges.

I tried both ili9163 and st7735r drivers with fbtft but both seem to have this problem.
Here is my /etc/modprobe.d/fbtft.conf
And here's my /boot/config.txt
If you or someone could point me to solution to this I would be grateful.
