Trying to order this screen off of ebay. Did you guys had problems with making an offer?
They are sending me messages, including a message where they accept my offer. But they don't accept the offer on ebay, so I can't pay. I've written them, telling them to actually accept it on ebay and all I got was "OK".

Ok, today they got it right. I could pay and now the waiting game begins.

How much did you offer them in the end if you don't mind me asking ?

@cannikin or anyone else Did you adjust your framebuffer in your setup file to the native resolution? i.e:

framebuffer_width=640
framebuffer_height=480

Just curious how big of an impact it has on readability/quality. (These lines are already present in the config files but they're #'d out and are set for a higher resolution by default)

$65 plus shipping is their limit. Just offer them this and you're good.

What settings did you guyes change to get the retropie/emulationstation UI to the correct resolution?
I think mine is running at an higher resolution that gets downscaled to fit my screen.
The result is that the text is ugly and not easily readable.

Does anyone here experienced the same problem?

Apparently setting the settings i posted on this page in the config.txt fixes that, but i haven't tried it yet. If you can confirm it works please let me know!

Code: Select all

framebuffer_width=640
framebuffer_height=480
