      Hello,

      I'm trying to build a portable Retropie with my Raspberry Pi 1. (Retropie 4.1 image installed) For the screen I bought a 4inch WaveShare LCD screen for less £10. I've installed the drivers and the screen works fine as long as I'm in the terminal, when I type in "emulationstation" to start the screen just goes black and nothing happens. If I press f4 I can still go back to the terminal, but I can't do anything from outside that. If I plug in a HDMI emulationstation works fine on the TV (it's low res, for some reason it doesn't show in F HD), but I would like to send the video output to the LCD screen. Would anyone know how to solve this issue?

      Thanks!!
