        Hi @wolfsoul

        Can you try posting the boot.txt file again, it doesn't appear to have uploaded. Also can you try to complete the details listed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

        EDIT: Sorry, just seen you have reposted the Boot file. Also, can you confirm what Pi you are using?

              A quick Google for 800x480 Pi display turned up this page:

              https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-5-800x480-tft-hdmi-monitor-touchscreen-backpack/raspberry-pi-config

              The important bits are highlighted in Orange in their Boot config. Try it and let us know how you get on.
