Hello, I recently acquired a Naomi system and have successfully set up netbooting using a PC; now, I’d like to do the same using PiForceTools. Instead of buying a pre-configured Raspberry Pi kit (which includes a screen and memory card), I purchased a Raspberry Pi 3B separately. I couldn't find the Adafruit screen—it appears to be out of stock—so I bought the "I2C 16x2 RGB LCD KeyPad HAT with RGB Backlight V2.0" from DFRobot (link: https://www.dfrobot.com/product-188...0z2OIRytyf3zzXYSue-dBe8KOekLFvtTbO_r1Wtu9XVlw). I’ve already flashed the PiForceTools 1.5 image onto a 32GB microSD card, moved the ext4 partition to the end of the storage space, added games in .bin format to the "roms" folder, and included the `rgb1602.py` library. However, the screen remains blank—it doesn't light up, nor does it display any information. I’m a complete beginner at this; do I need to edit any settings, or do I need to compile a specific image to support this particular screen? Has anyone else tried using this screen? Thanks!

If you have another sd card, try wipi

It’s been amazing and very easy to setup if your pi works. Only problem is you need to connect your phone to it as the controller, or you can set it to just boot to your game of choice on power up with no input.
Cheers

Thanks for the suggestion, but I want to use PiForce Tools; that’s why I bought the RGB display.
Another option is you want to go all out with a full colour screen is PiDimBoot:
