Making Fonts Readable on 1Up Pi-Boy XL

[phil8715]

Hi,

I'm a newbie.

I've bought a 1Up Pi-Boy XL which uses a Raspberry Pi 3B+.

When I go into the menus the text is so tiny I have to hook it up to a monitor via hdmi.

I pressed F4 to get to the terminal screen and entered the required commands, also I tried to look at all the fonts but without seeing that the fonts are I'm fighting a losing battle.

The screen is 4.3 inch screen.

Any font recommendations would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

For console fonts, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-can-i-increase-the-console-font-size. For Emulationstation, choose a minimal theme like CRT Centered or the - recently added - [MiniJawn theme](link url).

@mitu I'm not sure if I stated correctly what I was trying to do.

Basically I'm trying to make the text on the dos type screen larger to make it readable on the Pi-boy.

I'm not trying to make the games appear larger as I already know how do this. At present I'm having to connect my 1UP Pi-Boy XL to a monitor so I can assess the settings screens.

My GPI Case doesn't have this issue.

I'm trying to find an image on the Pi-Boy that is set up in such a way that I don't need to connect it to a monitor to read and change settings as required.

Thanks in advance.

Basically I'm trying to make the text on the dos type screen larger to make it readable on the Pi-boy

that’s what the console font link above achieves. (“console” in this context = dos type screen)
