Total Noob and I need help with V.9 Screen

Post by easter24 » Wed Dec 28, 2016 1:53 pm

So I have been poking around and thought that the GBZ would be a sweet project to embark on. I followed wermy's link on the GBZ Custom to the amazon page and purchased the BM screen there. It came yesterday and I cracked it open only to discover that my board was quite a bit different than the one in wermy's video. He mentions this but...unfortunately for my bad luck...Mine is the only set up without a solution for 5v conversion. It's Version 9 in the Wiki and I have no idea where to begin. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks guys.

See this image below and do the same thing to the chip on the right side of the board:

Perfect. I wasn't sure if it would be that simple. Thanks a million.

Have the same screen, but can not get it to power on, jumped the wire to the same spot. Any ideas?

Same board? Or same screen?

Don't forget you need a signal to it for it to power on.

Same board it looks exactly like the original posters board. And I had it hooked up to my pi and nothing came up, so I plugged in the hdmi to a screen and retropie showed up. So it should have worked. Are the board easily damaged?

Have you make the required changes to the config.txt to display via composite?

No, how or where does it tell you to do that? Sorry never used a pi before this.

Either SSH into Pi (https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/ssh) or F4 in Retropie menu to back out to terminal then:
cd /boot
sudo nano config.txt

Then at the bottom

# uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode-2
remove the # so

# uncomment for composite PAL
sdtv_mode-2
and then "Ctrl X" to exit and save with Y
then reboot.
