Gameboy Zero with PiTFT

[Tonexc]

Hey guys i got some problems with my PiTFT...
i dont know how to connect it to my Pi0 because im new to this.
I searched about this but i found nothing that i think it is right.

I dont know if this screen works with 5v or that i need to modify it
so that it works with 5v.

Hope you can help me

Sorry for my bad english

Which screen did you get? They all require different mods to work properly.

I got this one: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1601

Hope you can help me:)

Since that's a touchscreen and not a simple display, the screen tutorials here on Sudomod won't work for you. Instead check out these instructions on Adafruit. If you have trouble with the screen, post to their support forums (they know their product better than anyone and can provide true help).

[Tonexc]

Yeah i know. Just one question before i ask the support.
If i solder the wires like they show in the schematic just the SPI pins and the two gpio pins with the Rp0 this would bei enough? Or do i need to connect the other pins too, i mean the 5v and GND pins.

[a3k4]

Yup. The v and GND are necessary to power the screen.

Hey,
Adafruit actually has a guide here one how to get all the different TFT screens working in retropi. I have both the original 2.8" and the newer (tftplus) 3.5". The instructions were simpler to get the 2.8 working, so I tried that first. seems to be working OK on a spare Pi-A+ I had.

The guide says the 3.5 will pose FPS problems because of the larger resolution, but that it should still work.
