Nice.

I'm brand new to attract mode (familiar hyperspin on a PC and EmulationStation on the Pi) and just received my Pi 3. Would love to give your image a try when it's ready.

Thank you for sharing your work!

I'm using Raspian and followed the installation instructions on the wiki. It goes white right when you launch it. I can get back to the console by using the ESC + up + enter. I believe it's on the initial config screen.

General / Attract Mode on Raspberry Pi2 with 3.5" screen?

« on: April 01, 2016, 06:10:06 PM »

Would it be possible to run Attract Mode using one of these cheap low end 3.5" LCD screen (480x320)  you see on Ebay and Amazon?

Similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/OSOYOO-Display-Monitor-Transparent-Raspberry/dp/B013E0IJVE

I know it has a terrible refresh rate (~18fps), but I thought it would be fun none the less. I know you can't use it from Emulationstation. Something about framebuffers not being supported.

I figured that this screen can display the Raspian GUI, so maybe there's a chance it would work for Attract Mode.

I only can get a white screen to show up. Is there a minimum resolution required?

(Don't forget the part at the end that relates to installing xinit, since RetroPie does not have an X implementation.)

How about the ffmpeg part? I'm brand new to Attract Mode, but interested in the video previews that is similar to hyperspin. Thanks
