Clone waveshare 3.5” display setup
-
Hi
Just received my no brand (I got it off ebay) 3.5” display today. I plugged it into the gpio header and booted into RetroPie 4.4. I was going to download the drivers via the console (sorry if I’m using the wrong terminology I pressed f4 idk what it’s called) and I realised the guide I was going to follow was only for Raspian. Couldn’t really find anywhere that had a guide for RetroPie 4.4, just wondering if anyone can help with this.Thanks

I can provide pictures if needed

Retropie is based on RaspbianLite, so you can use the instructions for Raspbian to install your screen drivers.

@mitu thanks! But I was also having a bit of trouble installing but just brushed it off because I thought the way I was installing it wasn’t correct when I typed git clone then the URL it would say fatal: unable to access (then the URL) could not resolve host: github.com

Nevermind I was just not connected to the internet!

Wow I have bad luck, entered all the code correctly from this video “
while yes the display turns on my monitor still displays RetroPie instead of the lcd. How do I fix this?Thanks
