On July 30, 2025, the U.S. Executive Order “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment For All Countries” came into effect. This removes the previous duty exemption for low-value packages and introduces new procedural requirements that are still being defined by U.S. Customs and the United States Postal Service. In response, DHL has announced a temporary halt to standard postal parcel shipments into the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Dismiss

I have this [url]http://www.waveshare.com/4inch-rpi-lcd-a.htm[/url] screen, and I would like to play games on it with RetroPie.
I started with this tutorial: [url=https://learn.adafruit.com/running-opengl-based-games-and-emulators-on-adafruit-pitft-displays/pitft-setup]Running OpenGL-based Games & Emulators on Adafruit PiTFT Displays[/url]
But I don’t have adafruit screen, so I found this: [url=http://www.circuitbasics.com/setup-lcd-touchscreen-raspberry-pi/#content]How to Setup an LCD Touchscreen on the Raspberry Pi[/url],
I don’t have 3,5″ screen, so I used this: [url=https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/27714/how-to-install-waveshare-spotpear-4-inch-lcd-in-raspberrypi-2]How to install Waveshare SpotPear 4 inch LCD in RaspberryPI 2?[/url]
At this point I can see console that shuld be under the emulationstation, but there is no emulationstation. I think ES is running somewhere, because when i press F4 I can see “Emulationstation will restart in 5 seconds, press any key to interrupt” (or something like this). After i hit spacebar (and interrupt ES restart), I see normal console on GPIO screen, I can write commands, everything looks fine. But when I type “es”, emulationstation start to work somewhere else (not on GPIO screen).
Of course my HDMI screen recognizes signal as 16kHz, so no screen can handle this, and it is not working. I guess maybe emulationstation is displayed by HDMI (which I cant check), and console is diplayed on GPIO. How can I change this?
