RetroPie - White Screen

Post by hykote » Sun Jun 05, 2016 3:57 pm

I've set up my teensy board with my pi 0 however when trying to start retropie after emulation station splash screen it is just white?

I've tested the same SD card on the Raspberry pi 2 and it works fine. Currently running a :

2 - CH Real Color 3.5 inch TFT LCD Display Monitor Module
Teensy with custom PCB which has been tested on a computer and works fine.
Power supply is from my laptop currently.

only other info I can find is here:

Any ideas/help would really be appreciated.

hmm, have you tried flashing the sd card again? i think the pi 0 uses a different img of retropie than the pi 2 does.

Strange but simple fix is to run and install retropi OS but remember you can't use Pi2 OS of retropi on Pi0 ensure your using the correct OS for that Pi

Thanks for the help guys. I've reinstalled Retropie, ensuring it is the Pi0 version. However another problem.

It is not detecting my keyboard? It is showing 'no gamepad detected'. It's a basic usb 2.0 plug and play keyboard. My teensy and custom PCB show up but holding a button won't work to map the keys. Any suggestions?
