UPDATE: Kodi does the same thing at first, but after about a minute or so, it just starts working for no reason

@CrazyPharaoh Sorry, I have the same problem whit my Waveshare 5 inch

@obsidianspider I have read up on typical RPi3 BT speeds and they shape up to be maximum 256kb/s

Meaning that the BT Display would be 15551.5625 the maximum capability at best..... The compression would need to be 20,000x in under 10 milliseconds. That kind of compression would take hours to years for a Pi, and the entire screen would be an artifact.

@elgarlic Yeah, it's a minor bug. Turning it off just disables the frame counter but it remains on screen. See my other comment about the devs priorities for the Pi version of DraStic.

@DX
It sounds like to me that EmulationStation is trying to display in a resolution that your livingroom TV doesn't support. Most of the emulators use lower resolutions so that's probably why they display okay.

Have a look at this document:

@edmaul69 haaa then it can feet! :)

@skoufix Thanks, the fixes above did not work for me but yours did. I'm glad to finally get rid of the startup glitch.

It was a network problem. I got it to run the commands, but on reboot it doesn't display to the screen.

@Kristopherson05 Did you actually read the wiki though? https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Smaller-RetroArch-Screen

😉

@ProxyCell It's a useful feature to be sure. Since RetroPie is built on Raspbian and can also be installed on Ubuntu, there are all sorts of underlying functions of linux, we could really have a wiki on retropie, retroarch, and linux... any suggestions on the best way to lay it all out?

Hi all, sorry for dragging up an old thread. Has anyone got this to work on the latest Retropie image (4.7.1)? I had it installed on an old 4.4 image working absolutely fine, thought I would update to latest image 4.7.1 followed all the same steps (actually copied what was written in the old image that worked) in relation to detecting hdmi. But I can’t get it to work in 4.7.1, it always defaults into hdmi and cannot get itself back into lcd when you don’t have an hdmi cable installed. I often see ‘Unk-Comp-Dev’ in the text when booting rather than ‘[E] No Device Present]. Wondering if the updated Retropie version somehow recognizes the LCD screen differently which is preventing this script from working? It seems to always boot into hdmi like it always thinks something is plugged in when it’s not.

Any help to get it working would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Ok found a solution in another thread no longer need a script to do what I need just a simple addition to the config.txt file, all sorted! Thanks!

@cyperghost What i did was i cut everywire out. And only used Usb wire reason is it's a little more handle current up to 3 amps and a little thicker wire i was using 26 awg wire Now I'm using 24 awg wire. Also shorting the wires a little more to clear up some of the static which i think that is what it is. Plus i went to https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4269/popeye-pi-foldable-rpi-zero-in-a-car-monitor/2 your link cyperghost and i use that code on mine just change a few things around to match my screen. And the result is i got about 99.5" clean signal from it. There is a little static left on the screen but it is not as bad or worse then before.

On that note How can i make the text font and images a little bigger i can not read the text not even in settings area?

Hello everyone! Can you show how your mirroring images looks like on you cocktail table? Can you use it with MAME games at all?

I'm sorry, I wanted to change it with another theme :-)
