I had seen Juj post this code over on the retropie forum. I struggle to see the improvements myself, but im sure it looks better in person.

Have you tried it on a zero?

Is there a way to connect this screen with your pcb easily. This would further minimise unwanted red pcb.


Look what I found on AliExpress
http://s.aliexpress.com/IRrqY7re

if you have a look at this post....

https://sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5614


the boards were designed to be used with a 3.2" 18 pin ili9341 LCD, which dont come with a red board and are just bare LCD...
(you can just soldered the screen to the board, and ignore/avoid using the 0.8mm pitch connector)
(it can also be used with any size bare LCD from 2.2" to 3.2")



it may not be the cheaper option, but IMHO is a cleaner option...
also may not be the easiest option initially, but does offer quick attachment and release once everything is done....



.
one question. where do you get 0.8 mm pitch ribbon connector? just destroyed one screen trying to unsolder and using it for my GBA project.

not on zero, i think he confirmed over on youtube that code is hardcoded for RPI 3 gpu drivers.

On https://github.com/juj/fbcp-ili9341 he mentions
It might not even work on other Pis than the Pi 3 Model B that I have
Only one way to find out :D

may not work on the zero no. i'm hopeful I can get it to work on a CM3 though (which is basically a Pi 3) by specifying the alternate pins I want to use in the code header. I've forked it and will be having a play later on tonight to try and get it to work...

yeah i think it relies on being able to run on a core on its own, then the emulator can run on another core, so everything hops along nicely :)

This has been tested on a Pi0 W by Bluup on Discord Chat so that is that.

Could someone give a little more details on the Pi0 performance? I am currently using one of these with the classic fbcp driver on a pi0 and get like 24fps max. On the gitpage they say the performance is bad compared to 60fps on a pi3, so how many fps can we expect when using a pi0?
