Hi,

I have seen this guide for setting up a gpio screen with Retropie:
https://learn.adafruit.com/running-open ... itft-setup

Maybe it will help someone

Has anyone fallowed this guide and has been successful? I have tried to fallow it and did not work for me, although there are some areas that I have questions about. When I was told to input this command "sudo install fbcp /usr/local/bin/fbcp" nothing happend, I got no feedback and just started a new line...is this normal? or should I have gotten an output from this command. My second questions is that I think I know where to put this command "dtoverlay=pitft28-capacitive-overlay,rotate=90,speed=80000000,fps=60" when I "sudo nano /boot/config.txt" but not 100% sure. I would like my 2.8tft to stop showing blank white and display retropie so I can continue my project. any feedback and screen shots would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, i followed it and could not get it to work straight away.

I found this other link on there website https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-8 ... sy-install

Once i followed this after doing what was on the previous page showm in the 1st post it worked straight away for me.

That line of code doesn't really matter where it goes as long as there is no # in front of it.
I just dropped it in at the bottom and it worked for me.
