Total Noob and I need help with V.9 Screen
Total Noob and I need help with V.9 Screen
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.

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?

Re: Total Noob and I need help with V.9 Screen
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?jarheadappel wrote:Same board it looks exactly like the original posters board.

Either SSH into Pi (https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/ssh) or F4 in Retropie menu to back out to terminal then:jarheadappel wrote:No, how or where does it tell you to do that?

cd /boot
sudo nano config.txt
Then at the bottom

remove the # so
