Help Setting up Display on Raspberry Pi Zero

[shadow1102]

I'm working on a personal project to create a retropie using a raspberry pi zero and a 2.4" piTFT. I've followed a few guides including the one on youtube where someone from adafruit teaches you to install it on a raspberry pi 3 so i went ahead and followed that guide except using the raspberry pi zero retropie image. I installed the required kernels to set up the display and ran sudo adafruit-pitft-helper -t 28r to set up the display. Then ran through the openGL based games and emulators guide on adafruit and set up the frame buffer:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cmake git
git clone https://github.com/tasanakorn/rpi-fbcp
cd rpi-fbcp/
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ..
make
sudo install fbcp /usr/local/bin/fbcp

added /usr/local/bin/fbcp & into the /etc/rc.local file
and edited the /boot/config file with dtoverlay=pitft28-resistive,rotate=90,speed=80000000,fps=60.

I connect my display to the raspberry pi zero and try it out and i just get a white screen. So i tried to connect it to my raspberry pi 3 and moved the micro sd card to the pi 3 and it works. Any ideas as to why its not working on the pi zero??

Thanks in advance

sounds like you were actually using a RPI3 image if it works on your pi3 and not your zero. i think it's impossible for a zero/1 retropie image to work on a pi3?

I downloaded the retropie image for the pi zero and it was fine up until I set up the display, at that point it just white screens on me. I can try to redownload the image again.

(rpi 0 is rpi 1 to all intents and purposes)
