      @techieandroid your best bet with the 3.2" screen, is to find a datasheet for it. There are normally some pins on the screen that allow you alter the configuration. Sometimes its just a case of connecting a pin to gnd or vcc to put it in spi mode

        I suppose so, I'll look for one.
        What do you think of this screen?
        It's advertised as plug and play, do you think the Pi would have a compatible driver for it to work instantly like that?

          @techieandroid the listing says that screen is ILI9341 so it should just be a quick swap with the one you already have :)

            Okay I've almost finished my long dead project but I'm having trouble wiring in the GBA's controller board into the Pi in a way that it recognizes it as a configurable controller. Can I do this or am I trying to do something that's simply not possible?
