Gbz screen and retro pi

Post by ToyRoBoHoBo » Wed Jan 30, 2019 7:54 am

Hey everyone....I have connected my screen to my pi zero tested and work.when i took my retro pi image for my pi 2 and put it into my pi zero it boots up and loads and then emulationstation dosnt pull up.. I see a joystick and command line. I was thinking that maybe i need to put a new image on a new sd card but I am unsure..I also noticed that the letters slightly dont fit on the screen is there a way to fix that as well.. I will upload images later today for further help...thanks everyone

An image from a pi2 will likely not work, you'll need to download the specific pi zero retropie image. As for the screen fitment, open the config.txt and look for the 4 overscan lines (top, bottom, left, right). You can adjust those so the screen display fits better. Kind of trial and error. Make changes, save, reboot, see how it looks. Adjust more if needed.
