        @Ferferite RetroPie is based on Raspbian Lite, so whatever drivers you've installed and used on Raspbian should work also in RetroPie.
        If you already have a set up system (Raspbian), you can manually install RetroPie on top, instead of using the RetroPie version - see the manual installation page.

            @Ferferite Maybe the screen's resolution is not enoug for Emulationstation. What's the resolution for the Waveshare ? You can find an Emulationstation log file in ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt, maybe there's an error logged there.
