Getting 3.5 screen working with retropie
Posted: Fri May 05, 2017 3:33 pm
I have an Smraza 3.5 in TFT touchscreen, it came with software but its for raspian. It works with raspian if I use the image that comes with the screen but I would like to use this screen with the retropie image from the website. The image is installed correctly. I can play a game in retropie over HDMI but if I try with the 3.5 in screen it only displays a white screen. Does anyone know how to set this up?
Its an XPT2046 touch controller, 480x320 pixel.
I dont care if the touchscreen doesnt work, i just want the screen to display
Also, the screen plugs in directly via GPIO, if possible, i would like to desolder the header from the board and solder in wires to run to the pi. If anyone knows, do I need to use all 26 pins or are there a few I can use that will still get the screen to display?
Whoever gives me a working solution can name my next child
