retropie and waveshare 32b?
-

-
@wenamba what version of retropie do you use ? i have tried this set up on both 4.1 and 4.3 and with no joy just an expensive white touch for my raspberry pi
i have tried all above for 2 days now and not getting anywhere
ls /dev/fb* sometimes i will get /dev/fb1 or /dev/fb0 but nothing on my screen.
i have tried installing the driver that came with the cd into the pi root with winscp and still no joy.
i have tried installing just the normal setup that comes on the cd to test the screen and it works fine., just finding now impossible to get it working with retropie will try another week and if no joy will sell the screen on ebay to some fool
-
@senkun i bought the waveshare 4 inch hdmi display, and the above method isn't working with it.
please help me out! -
3.5 still works!!!!!! great job!!!!!!

@flashmaster hey flashmaster i solved it you need to go on https://github.com/mholgatem/GPIOnext follow his instruction install it and when you install it go to bash gpionext then configure and then choose keyboard just select random buttons and go back in with you retropie and go to configure and voila it will be recognised if you need further informations just reply
-
@tonaytan so guys I made a guide maybe someone wants to look into that because GPIOnext needs some commands that need to be added https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12176/pigrrl-button-installation-need-advise

@tonaytan hi tonaytan Can you share your image file? I tried to set a week but only got a black screen

@wenamba umm i use speed as 90000000 but it still lagging is there way to make it smoother?
-
I have tried this over and over but once I get to sudo cp waveshare-dtoverlays/waveshare32b-overlay.dtb /boot/overlays/waveshare32b.dtbo it never works I have tried both commands and nothing works. Any ideas.

sorry for bumping this old topic, but i've just got the 3.2" waveshare screen for a gamegear project, but when i go to run the 2nd command after installing a fresh version of retropie:
sudo cp waveshare-dtoverlays/waveshare32b-overlay.dtb /boot/overlays/
I get the below message:
cp: cannot stat 'waveshare-dtoverlays/waveshare32b-overlay.dtb': No such file or directory
any ideas please?
cheers

You should look for updated instructions on how to install the screen - the repository mentioned in the instructions has been restructured and the filenames don't match. Look into the repository documentation at https://github.com/swkim01/waveshare-dtoverlays and install your screen.

sorry about that thank you for the update. all instructions followed and i've got the fb1 folder. when i add the extra lines in and then reboot... i'm still getting a white screen on the waveshare 3.2 but retropie is showing on my monitor
