Hi, is there a display driver so that one can use the displayhatmini as a screen for retropie?

Thank you  
Michael

There is this, haven’t had a chance to try it myself though.

But does displayhatmini have the ILI9341 controller? Can someone from pimoroni comment on this?  
Thanks

It uses an st7789, same as the Pirate Audio display. Which is supported on that page I linked too. There are several st7789 displays listed in the displays tested section.

All right. I will set the flags to st7789, compile and see if it works!
