1.8TFT SPI 128*160 V1.1 screen not working with RaspberryPi please help :(

retroprogrammer

Hello guys, I need some help getting a 1.8TFT SPI 128*160 V1.1 screen to work with RaspberryPi RetroPie, on a RaspberryPi zero W.

I am using the official Retropie image, I have got the connections connected thanks to this post:https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=4155#p45310

I tried following @moosepr post here:https://hackaday.io/project/21553-pi0cket-tiny#menu-description but I couldn't quiet understand it, then I tried following this github Wiki and I didn't know where to start:https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki#step-by-step-using-fbtft

Can someone point me in the right direction, here is this screen I am using:

@retroprogrammer can you post your fbtft.conf file ? /etc/modprobe.d/fbtft.conf

This post is deleted!

Hex

Did you follow the guide ? Also please post your /boot/config.txt file

retroprogrammer

@hex Yes, here is the text in /etc/modprobe.d/fbtft.conf
options fbtft_device name=fb_ili9163 gpios=reset:25,dc:24,led:23 speed=40000000 bgr=1 rotate=1 custom=1 fps=60

@Hex Here is the text in /boot/config.txt

# http://rpf.io/configtxt
# Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
#hdmi_safe=1

# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
#disable_overscan=1

# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16

# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
hdmi_force_hotplug=1

# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=1
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt=128 128 60 1 0 0 0

display_rotate=2

# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
#hdmi_drive=2

# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
# no display
#config_hdmi_boost=4

# uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode=2

#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800

# Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces
#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
dtparam=spi=on

# Uncomment this to enable the lirc-rpi module
#dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

# Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README

# Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
dtparam=audio=on
gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=256
overscan_scale=1

Hex

append width=128 height=160 and reboot and let me know if that works.

Edit: Also change this line hdmi_cvt=128 128 60 1 0 0 0 to hdmi_cvt=128 160 60 1 0 0 0 in /boot/config.txt

@hex said in 1.8TFT SPI 128*160 V1.1 screen not working with RaspberryPi please help :(:

width=128 height=160

On /etc/modprobe.d/fbtft.conf

Hex

yes

retroprogrammer

@Hex Like this:

options fbtft_device name=fb_ili9163 gpios=reset:25,dc:24,led:23 speed=40000000 bgr=1 rotate=1 custom=1 fps=60,width=128 height=160

Yes or No?

retroprogrammer

@Hex Now the screen is all being used, thanks :) but the colours are still wrong and everything is still small know how to fix that to?

Hex

can you post a photo of what you mean by colors are wrong ?

retroprogrammer

okay

retroprogrammer

just check this link:https://imgur.com/gallery/Yv7Hx/comment/1225358395

The logo that you see is of the GameBoy Advance, it is suppose to be blue, yeah?

Hex

How about you start a game and check ?

The icon is based on your theme. change the theme to change icons. I dont know what you are supposed to see.

retroprogrammer

Even when I play a game all the colours are mixed up, I am using the carbon theme and the Gameboy advance logo is blue, but on the screen it is red
