      Hi , i want to use a st7735 1.8" display to play games on retropie , but it doesn't work. I tryed all the tutorials from the internet but all i got is a white screen. The display worked on raspbian.
      My setup: rpi zero,4gb sd card , st7735 display(with the following connections :
      GND Any Ground
      VCC Any 5v Power
      SCL BCM 11
      SDA BCM 10
      RES BCM 25
      DC BCM 24
      CS BCM 8)
      Can anyone give me a tutorial for this display that you tryed and it works?

        How did you configure it in Rapbian ? What 'worked' exactly - is your main screen shown on the screen ?

        Does the vendor have any installation/configuration instructions on Raspbian Lite (which is what RetroPie uses underneath) ?

            That's not quite the same thing as using it as a primary display.

            I don't know what you think this means, but you don't need a lot of space on the SD card to compile a Linux kernel module. A RetroPie installation already contains the kernel headers for the running system to help compile new kernel modules.

            Do you have the vendor support page for this display ?
