The latest Adafruit PiGrrl image download solves this for me. PiTFT works without any set up problems.

Here's what I see in EmulationStation. Missing graphics etc. - seems like there's no theme

20160113_203106_HDR.jpg I have made some progress! I wrote the Adafruit Pocket PiGrrl image to a MicroSD card and put it in my Pi 2 with the 2.8" PiTFT fitted and it works ok. This also has the Adafruit Retrogame program installed. https://learn.adafruit.com/pocket-pigrrl/software-1 Its a slig...

I got past that partial console problem and then the TFT would show the normal emulationstation screen. Once the TFT is set and working up I can't connect my HDMI TV because it can't support the resolution, even if the TFT was unplugged. I'm still left with the SSH error and more importantly the ada...

It needs to be a small screen as its for a handheld project. I'm on my 5th screen (two very cheap, two were wrong) and thought the Adafruit one was the final but relatively expensive answer. I've wasted a huge amount of time on getting it working. The screen and controls were all on different GPIO p...

I'm still getting the "vchi_msg_dequeue -> -1(22)" error when I try to connect via SSH

Also, The PiTFT set up seems to break my previously working retrogame GPIO controls set up, it doesn't work at all after the screen is set up.

I've now fixed the login issue. So the Pi now starts up in Retropie and it seems to work The next problem to fix is that when Retropie/Emulationstation is showing on the 2.8" screen, I can't access the console via SSH from Windows (Putty). I get this error message: vchi_msg_dequeue -> -1(22) an...

The screen will not change from the attached picture below unless I put the username and password in via SSH

Is there any way to automatically bypass this so that it boots straight into RetroPie?

I have finally got the PiTFT 2.8R working with Retropie! I followed these instructions: sudo raspi-config -expand filesystem -disable overscan -force audio to 3.5mm -advanced options >> enable Device Tree -advanced options >> enable SPI >> load SPI kernel module by default sudo reboot sudo nano /boo...

rbpieboy

ok, I thought so, but I'll still use some of your instructions for my PiTFT 2.8" R screen set up.

I can get the 3.5" screen working, but think its the set up of FBCP that is going wrong, as I'm having a similar issue with the 2.8" screen too.

rbpieboy

I will try those instructions, thanks.

I see that references the Adafruit PiTFT 3.5" display (pitft, but I have this KeDei 3.5" display. WIll this work for that device too?

Thanks

rbpieboy

Thanks I'll give that a go tonight

I tried installing fbcp again. I can see the following error message: install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/fbcp': No such file or directory I can see that directory, but for some reason the installer can't find it. When I enter "ls -l /usr/local/bin/" I get the error message...

The second problem I have is in editing the runcommand.sh file. The Adafruit instructions states: "Scroll down a bit, looking for the function called get_mode(), and insert the following two lines at the very start of the function then add": mode_new = "DMT-87" return The text in...

If all the FBCP installation steps work ok up to the "make" command, but its only the /usr/local/bin/ path that is causing it to fail, I could manually create that folder and then try the install command "install fbcp /usr/local/bin/fbcp", then it should have somewhere to put it ...

I see, so how would I 'get in to' the root directory? If I type "cd" it just takes me to the home directory.

rbpieboy

Thanks for your help, much appreciated. I'll give this a try when I get home from work later today It 'should' work as the two PiTFT/Retropie guides I'm following give the same instructions for installing FBCP. I know next to nothing about Linux, but I wonder if I am seeing the root directory (like ...

rbpieboy

Thanks for the response. So if the "make" command has failed, does the "/usr/local/bin/" directoy not get created or should it already be there from the original retropie image? When I type "dir" in the console it only shows me a few folders (retropie etc.) and not &quo...

rbpieboy

I'm getting exactly the same problem. If I find an answer I'll put it on here. I've followed the instructions from Adafruit and also others for FBCP installation, but this error message seems fundamental so I'm surprised its not more common when setting up a PiTFT. Until then, can anyone help? I go ...

I've now purchased a PiTFT 2.8r and I will follow these instructions:

This is all i'm seeing on the LCD screen. The HDMI display (TV) shows the normal Retropie screen.

I'll start with saying that this is my first Pi project. I'm a Windows monkey, so getting used to Pi-World. I am trying to get a 3.5" TFT LCD display working (via GPIO) with RetroPie 3.2. I have installed the display driver on both a RetroPie SD card and Raspbian SD card. The LCD will display t...
