Emulation station wont run on PiTFT #309

Ive tried all sorts of commands trying to get emulation station to use FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb1 without success. can you please advise where the display can be set to use a different frame buffer

Hmm, try setting the SDL_FBDEV environment variable as per this page.

That said, ES only uses a "fake" framebuffer (via SDL 1.2) to get input - actual drawing is done through OpenGL, not to this framebuffer.

I get the white dot now but the Emuation station still shows on the hdmi. Is there a way to force opengl to use the screen?

Aloshi commented 10 years ago

I found this post on the RPi forums that seems to be about the same question. They mention this utility that copies the contents of the Raspberry Pi compositor into fb1, which could work (though it would probably be a bit slow).

Beyond that, I have no idea, sorry. I'm not very familiar with the RPi libraries.

This is not directly a bug of RetroPie-Setup Script, but more a configuration issue. Please post this, e.g., in the forum at http://blog.petrockblock.com/forums/forum/retropie-project-forum/emulators/.
