A Successful Guide on Installing Adafruit 2.8" TFT Resistive Screen on Raspberry Pi Model B for RetroPie


While trying to connect my Raspberry Pi Model B (Version 1) to Adafruit 2.8 TFT capacitive screen (not the PiTFT), I'm having complication of the screen constantly showing white screen despite following the latest guide by Adafruit here on 'Running OpenGL-based Games & Emulators on Adafruit PiTFT Displays'. Perhaps that guide will work straight out of the box for PiTFT, but certainly not the 2.8' TFT that I'm having.

I've actually spent a whole night trying to source out the problems and solution and I'm glad that I did. So I've decided to write this tutorial in case you're having the same problem as I had.

Note: I'm connecting the Adafruit 2.8 TFT display to my Raspberry Pi Model B (Version 1). The steps should be similar in the second revision.

This guide is made possible thanks to various contribution authors mentioned in the Reference section at the end of this article.

For the uninitiated, RetroArch serves as the front-end for Libretro, which provides the cores for the emulators including BSNES, Ganbatte, and even MAME and MESS. Setting up RetroArch First, download RetroArch builds here . I'll leave it to you whether to download the Stable build (v1.0) or the nightly builds (v1.1.x). The later support audio and video filters as well as more path configurations and possibly more ROMs compatibility especially for the MESS or MAME cores. For this tutorial I'm going to download the nightly build. If you're using the stable build instead, some of the configurations ...

As of this writing there had been several versions of RetroArch that is runnable on the Blackberry OS 10, the notable ones being RetroArch Cascades and RetroArch Android version.
