@josdelsan said in SPI connection driver alternatives for ILI9341V display?:

Before I go back to RPI forum, I would like to know where I can read more about how emulationstation GUI is loaded so I can provide some context, otherwise I will be sent back here again.

You can replace EmulationStation with any SDL/non-SDL app that uses a GLES/OpenGL context and you have the same result (i.e. RetroArch or Mame). There's nothing special about EmulationStation and you can achieve the same result with any of GL test applications from the libsdl2-tests, like testgl2 or testgles2 (from /usr/libexec/installed-tests/SDL2/).

@BuZz Thanks Buzz! I have now set it up to boot directly into Retropie. No issues so far.

Please add more information about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

How did you install the drivers ? The root account doesn't have a password on the default Retropie image, you need to use the pi user and sudo to gain root access or run commands as root.

@Semper-5 i use real discs in windows 3.11 so i havent had a need to make any win 3.11 conf files yet. I have probably around 100 games and software that run great on the pi in win 3.11. I havent found anything that has given me any troubles yet other than certain ms software that cant run in dosbox and trashes and crashes your windows folder install...
