Reply To: RetroPi 3 on Rasbperry Pi 2 AND pitft 3.5 LCD

[Anonymous]

I’ve just received a 2.4″ adafruit screen and I’ve followed the below guide but keep getting a white screen. I’ve checked solder joints and they all look ok, and have tried installing the kernel on 2 seperate installations of Retropie 3, but keep getting a whitescreen / backlight.

One thing I noticed that when it switches from framebuffer to the emulation station screen (As I can see this on my monitor via HDMI), the LCD quickly turns black and then goes back to white. I’m guessing this is trying to initialize the driver?

Does anyone have any tips to get this working?
