      Here's a video showing what bootup looks like.
      https://streamable.com/0q52j4
      https://streamable.com/ve7dic
      I'm on Pi Zero
      Here's where the drivers etc are for this screen
      https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show
      I have the 3.5" or "LCD35-show"

      I followed all directions on site multiple times with fresh installs and separate sd cards. It came with this card of similar instructions https://streamable.com/cbwn7p
      There's a retropie tutorial on the github page but it gives me the error "this is not a raspberry pi kernal" when I do "sudo ./LCD35-show-retropie" command but the git clone was successful. Looked all over internet and tried everything in every search combination I could think of. I just want to be able to see the games. I will buy an official screen eventually but would hate to see this one go to waste and finding a solution could help others in the future.

      Please help

        The video shows the problem in 60 seconds, is this a never-before-seen issue?

              Im assuming this is a brand new problem that no one has experienced before based on the screen I have being generic.
