            According to this tutorial I only got a black screen. What is wrong?

                Private messaging isn't an available feature on this forum.

                      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.
