      Hallo at all,
      im sorry for my worse spelling and if this Thread is already diskused.
      But im not a native speaker ;)
      Now my question:
      I have installed the Retropie for the RPI0. I want to use an ILI9341TFT screen via SPI and found some tutorials. inkluding this one: https://www.xgadget.de/anleitung/2-2-spi-display-ili9341-am-raspberry-betreiben/
      The only thing is, that these tutorials all says that i must activate the SPI. But in the Advanced Options are no SPI config.
      For this reason i want to activate this point and found this tutorial from adafruit:
      https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-4-gpio-setup/configuring-spi

      But than cames the next problem, if i open the blacklist.conf, it says that this File would be new.

      Can anybody help me to aktivate the SPI?
      Thanks alot befor.
      Kind regards
      Ralf

        If the file doesn't exist, then you can ignore it - it means no module has been blacklisted.

              There is another driver project for ILI9341 based SPI displays https://github.com/juj/fbcp-ili9341 that you can try, if you're still working on the project. That one is a full standalone solution that does not utilize modprobe or the kernel SPI driver. Installation instructions are at https://github.com/juj/fbcp-ili9341#building-and-running
